Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.830 --> 00:00:11.830
The meaning of belief in the messengers

00:00:11.830 --> 00:00:15.400
Belief in the messengers

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.399
is the firm conviction that Allah Almighty sent His messengers and prophets

00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:25.399
to convey His religion to humanity and guide them to it,

00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:30.399
and that they are truthful in what they convey from their Lord, the Exalted.

00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:36.429
This necessitates belief in all that Allah Almighty has informed us about them in His Book,

00:00:36.429 --> 00:00:42.460
or through the tongue of His chosen Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:46.460
Just as it necessitates affirming the names of those who were mentioned by name,

00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:51.460
as for those whose names were not mentioned or whose stories with their people were not detailed,

00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:54.460
we believe in them in general terms.

00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:56.460
As Allah Almighty says:

00:00:56.460 --> 00:00:59.460
"Indeed, We sent messengers before you."

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:05.459
“Verily We sent messengers before thee, among them those of whom We have told thee, and some of whom We have not told thee; and it was not given to any messenger that he should bring a portent save by Allah's leave, but when Allah's commandment cometh (the cause) is judged aright, and the followers of vanity will then be lost.” (40:78)
