00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.660
In summary, the understanding of the people of the Sunnah is that

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:16.780
the role and scope of the intellect in relation to authentic sacred texts

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.

00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:26.780
For revelation is the straight path,

00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:30.780
while the intellect is merely the tool used to comprehend this path.

00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:33.780
It is inconceivable that the tool could contradict the path,

00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:35.780
or object to it.

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:38.780
Claiming there is a contradiction between them

00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:41.780
amounts to an accusation against the One who sent down the revelation and created the intellect,

00:00:41.780 --> 00:00:46.780
which is a rebellion against His Lordship and a denial of one's servitude to Him.

00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:52.460
This is the essence of the understanding of the people of the Sunnah.
