00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.449
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.449 --> 00:00:11.449
From the effects of belief in the Last Day

00:00:11.449 --> 00:00:17.949
Belief in the Last Day has numerous positive effects

00:00:17.949 --> 00:00:21.949
and great rewards that the believing servant obtains from it.

00:00:21.949 --> 00:00:24.949
Firstly,

00:00:24.949 --> 00:00:29.949
certainty of Allah's justice and His grace in recompense, in this world and the Hereafter.

00:00:29.949 --> 00:00:31.949
The oppressed person will receive their due from their oppressor,

00:00:31.949 --> 00:00:34.950
whether that is in this world or in the Hereafter.

00:00:34.950 --> 00:00:38.950
And that good deeds in this world do not go to waste,

00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:42.950
even if their reward is not apparent in this world; otherwise, it would seem illogical.

00:00:42.950 --> 00:00:47.109
Secondly, praising Allah and being thankful to Him,

00:00:47.109 --> 00:00:49.109
and extolling Him as He deserves,

00:00:49.109 --> 00:00:53.109
following the realization of His justice and grace, Exalted is He.

00:00:53.109 --> 00:00:57.369
Thirdly, realizing that the abode of the Hereafter

00:00:57.369 --> 00:00:59.369
is the true life,

00:01:00.369 --> 00:01:03.369
and that the life of this world is short and fleeting,

00:01:03.369 --> 00:01:07.370
no matter how long it may seem to people.

00:01:07.370 --> 00:01:09.370
Allah, the Almighty, says:

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.400
Fourthly, establishing a balance of fear and hope in the heart of the believer.

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:29.400
Through these two, a person refrains from sins and transgressions,

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.459
and moves towards obedience and virtues.

00:01:33.459 --> 00:01:36.459
Fifthly, the soundness and tranquility of the heart,

00:01:36.459 --> 00:01:41.459
and its steadfastness in the face of trials of ease and hardship in this world.

00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:44.459
For when the matter of the Hereafter dominates the servant's mind,

00:01:44.459 --> 00:01:47.459
and he becomes certain of it and of the transience of this world,

00:01:47.459 --> 00:01:50.459
he does not despair when calamities strike,

00:01:50.459 --> 00:01:53.459
nor does he become arrogant when blessings arrive.

00:01:53.459 --> 00:01:56.459
Rather, you see him patient and thankful,

00:01:56.459 --> 00:02:00.459
hoping for its reward from Allah in the Hereafter.

00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:05.659
The purity of the heart from malice and envy,

00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:08.659
because certainty of the Hereafter and desire for it

00:02:08.659 --> 00:02:11.659
make the servant indifferent to the fleeting world,

00:02:11.659 --> 00:02:16.659
which causes envy and hatred among people.

00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:20.780
Seventhly, the soul being filled with optimism,

00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:23.780
and its constant adherence to it throughout its life.

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:26.780
For the most optimistic of people

00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:30.780
are the strongest in their belief in meeting Allah in the Hereafter.

00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:35.939
Eighthly, a strong drive to call to Allah, the Almighty,

00:02:35.939 --> 00:02:38.939
and to strive in His cause with high ambition,

00:02:38.939 --> 00:02:42.939
firm resolve, and sincere intention,

00:02:42.939 --> 00:02:46.939
hoping for Allah's reward in the Hereafter for all of that,

00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:50.939
and out of compassion for people from misery in the Hereafter.
