WEBVTT 00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.900 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. 00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:15.890 Examples of how the United Nations Charter contradicts the law of Allah. 00:00:15.890 --> 00:00:21.890 First, the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: 00:00:21.890 --> 00:00:24.890 That the highest aspiration of all mankind 00:00:24.890 --> 00:00:30.890 Is the emergence of a world in which the individual enjoys freedom of speech and belief. 00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:34.890 This statement cannot be accepted in an absolute sense, 00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:38.890 Because it thereby establishes the freedom to be an atheist, 00:00:38.890 --> 00:00:41.890 And prevents the striving against apostates, 00:00:41.890 --> 00:00:47.020 And the terrifying of the disbelievers who oppose the call of Allah the Exalted. 00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:51.020 Second, Article Two states: 00:00:51.020 --> 00:00:57.020 That every human being is entitled to all rights and freedoms without distinction, 00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:00.020 Such as distinction based on religion. 00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:04.019 Allah, glory be to Him, has distinguished between the believers and the disbelievers, 00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:06.019 As the Almighty said: 00:01:06.019 --> 00:01:12.019 “He it is Who created you, but one of you is a disbeliever and one of you is a believer, and Allah is Seer of what ye do.” (64:2) 00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:16.019 And He, glory be to Him, did not make the disbeliever equal to the believer in every respect; 00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:20.019 Rather, He differentiated between them in numerous matters. 00:01:20.019 --> 00:01:24.019 For instance, it is not permissible to appoint a disbeliever as an authority over a Muslim, 00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:27.019 As indicated by the general implication of the words of Allah the Exalted: 00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:32.019 “Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.” (4:141) 00:01:32.019 --> 00:01:36.019 Furthermore, there is no inheritance between believers and disbelievers, 00:01:36.019 --> 00:01:39.019 As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:01:39.019 --> 00:01:44.019 "A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever, nor does a disbeliever inherit from a Muslim." 00:01:44.019 --> 00:01:46.049 Agreed upon. 00:01:46.049 --> 00:01:50.049 Whoever reviews the rulings regarding the Ahl al-Dhimmah (protected non-Muslims) in Islamic fiqh 00:01:50.049 --> 00:01:55.239 Will recognize the difference between the rights of a Muslim and the rights of a disbeliever. 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:56.239 Third: 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.239 Article Eighteen states: 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.239 That every individual has the right to change their belief. 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.239 However, it is not permissible for a Muslim to apostatize from their religion, 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.240 As the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.240 "Whoever changes his religion, kill him." 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.240 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:18.240 The fighting of apostates is well-known in Islamic history, 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.240 Just as Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, did, 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:28.240 When he fought those who withheld zakat after the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.240 In Islamic fiqh, there is an entire chapter entitled: 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.400 "The Rulings on Apostates." 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:36.400 Fourth: 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.400 Article Twenty-One states: 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.400 That the will of the people is the source of the government's authority. 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.400 In Islam, however, 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.400 The government derives its authority from the law of Allah, 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.400 And not from the will of the people, 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.400 As we have detailed in our discussion on the concept of sovereignty. 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:01.400 For this reason, the government is chosen by the people of influence and decision-making—the scholars and the leaders— 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.400 Who are committed to the Book and the Sunnah, and no others. 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:10.400 The government is restricted in all its actions by the law of Allah, 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.400 Not by the will of any created being. 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.659 Fifth: 00:03:15.659 --> 00:03:18.659 Article Twenty-Seven states: 00:03:18.659 --> 00:03:26.659 That these rights may not be exercised in a manner contrary to the purposes of the United Nations. 00:03:26.659 --> 00:03:28.750 To this we say: 00:03:28.750 --> 00:03:31.750 Rather, it is mandatory to oppose the purposes of the United Nations, 00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:36.750 Once its injustice and opposition to the law of Allah have become clear. 00:03:36.750 --> 00:03:39.750 For opposing the people of Hellfire 00:03:39.750 --> 00:03:43.009 Is a requirement of the Straight Path. 00:03:43.009 --> 00:03:45.009 In conclusion: 00:03:45.009 --> 00:03:48.009 Submission to the United Nations Charter 00:03:48.009 --> 00:03:50.009 Is like submission to the Yassa, 00:03:50.009 --> 00:03:53.009 By which the Tatars used to judge their affairs. 00:03:53.009 --> 00:03:57.009 Both are false deities (taghut) that legislate in place of Allah the Exalted, 00:03:57.009 --> 00:03:59.009 And it is mandatory to reject them, 00:03:59.009 --> 00:04:02.009 As the aforementioned verses have stipulated. 00:04:02.009 --> 00:04:06.710 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
