Summary of the Concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.699 --> 00:00:11.699
Abundant Remembrance of Allah

00:00:11.699 --> 00:00:16.910
Since remembrance of Allah holds such a sublime status,

00:00:16.910 --> 00:00:20.910
the verses of the Qur'an were not merely confined to commanding it in general;

00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:23.910
rather, they explicitly commanded its abundance.

00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:25.910
Allah the Almighty said:

00:00:25.910 --> 00:00:30.910
"O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance,

00:00:30.910 --> 00:00:33.909
and glorify Him morning and afternoon."

00:00:33.909 --> 00:00:37.039
And when Allah mentioned those who remember Him

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.039
among His servants for whom there is forgiveness and a great reward,

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.039
He said:

00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:46.039
“Lo! men who surrender unto Allah, and women who surrender, and men who believe and women who believe, and men who obey and women who obey, and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth, and men who persevere (in righteousness) and women who persevere, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their modesty and women who guard (their modesty), and men who remember Allah much and women who remember - Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward.” (33:35)

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:50.039
“Lo! men who surrender unto Allah, and women who surrender, and men who believe and women who believe, and men who obey and women who obey, and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth, and men who persevere (in righteousness) and women who persevere, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their modesty and women who guard (their modesty), and men who remember Allah much and women who remember - Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward.” (33:35)

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.039
And he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.039
"The mufarridun have outpaced everyone."

00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:56.039
They asked,

00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.039
"And who are the mufarridun, O Messenger of Allah?"

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:00.039
He replied,

00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.040
"The men and women who remember Allah abundantly."

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.040
Narrated by Muslim.
