A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:11,900
Piety (wara') is not merely a matter of abstaining from things.

3
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:19,109
It is a misconception to believe that piety consists only of abstention.

4
00:00:19,109 --> 00:00:22,109
Rather, it also encompasses the realm of action.

5
00:00:22,109 --> 00:00:25,109
Fulfilling one's obligatory duties is considered a form of piety.

6
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:30,109
This is because failing to perform them leads to harm in the Hereafter.

7
00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:33,109
Thus, maintaining family ties, which is an obligation, is a form of piety.

8
00:00:33,109 --> 00:00:36,109
Likewise, enjoining good and forbidding evil are acts of piety.

9
00:00:36,109 --> 00:00:41,109
As is fulfilling the rights of the poor, the neighbor, and the Muslims in general.

10
00:00:41,109 --> 00:00:44,109
And so on, in this manner.
