00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:09,060
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:12,759
Wishing well for the Muslims.

3
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:16,760
Among the noble character traits is wishing well for the Muslims.

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,760
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,760
"None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,859
Agreed upon.

7
00:00:27,859 --> 00:00:29,859
Among the requirements of this love

8
00:00:29,859 --> 00:00:32,859
is that one dislikes for them what he dislikes for himself,

9
00:00:32,859 --> 00:00:37,859
and that the heart is purified of hatred, malice, and envy toward any of the Muslims.

10
00:00:37,859 --> 00:00:40,859
It also includes desiring the unity of the Muslims,

11
00:00:40,859 --> 00:00:44,859
especially the unity of the callers to Islam and those striving in the path of Allah.

12
00:00:44,859 --> 00:00:49,859
This is because of the immense benefit it brings to all Muslims.

13
00:00:49,859 --> 00:00:53,859
It also involves rejecting bigotry and detestable factionalism.

14
00:00:53,859 --> 00:00:56,859
This applies to those among the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah

15
00:00:56,859 --> 00:00:58,859
who are in agreement regarding the fundamental principles,

16
00:00:58,859 --> 00:01:01,859
even if they differ on some subsidiary issues.

17
00:01:01,859 --> 00:01:07,859
Disagreement in such matters should not lead to discord, division, or hostility.

18
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:10,950
As for the people of innovation and whims,

19
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:13,950
they are the ones who divide into sects,

20
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:15,950
and they are the people of division and discord.

21
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:21,950
The Ahl al-Sunnah dissociate from them and do not take them as allies, out of loyalty to their religion,

22
00:01:21,950 --> 00:01:25,950
and to protect themselves from deviation and misguidance.

23
00:01:25,950 --> 00:01:29,980
However, the Ahl al-Sunnah may, in times of weakness,

24
00:01:29,980 --> 00:01:33,980
find it necessary to form alliances with people of innovation who are still of the Qiblah,

25
00:01:33,980 --> 00:01:38,980
in order to repel a disbelieving enemy that seeks to overrun Muslim lands and erase the religion.

26
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:41,980
This is a matter of sound fiqh.
