1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:09,660
In summary, the understanding of the people of the Sunnah is that

2
00:00:09,660 --> 00:00:16,780
the role and scope of the intellect in relation to authentic sacred texts

3
00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:23,780
is to strive to understand these texts and determine how to act upon them, not to judge whether to accept or reject them.

4
00:00:23,780 --> 00:00:26,780
For revelation is the straight path,

5
00:00:26,780 --> 00:00:30,780
while the intellect is merely the tool used to comprehend this path.

6
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:33,780
It is inconceivable that the tool could contradict the path,

7
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:35,780
or object to it.

8
00:00:35,780 --> 00:00:38,780
Claiming there is a contradiction between them

9
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:41,780
amounts to an accusation against the One who sent down the revelation and created the intellect,

10
00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:46,780
which is a rebellion against His Lordship and a denial of one's servitude to Him.

11
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:52,460
This is the essence of the understanding of the people of the Sunnah.
