00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.900
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:11.900
Piety (wara') is not merely a matter of abstaining from things.

00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:19.109
It is a misconception to believe that piety consists only of abstention.

00:00:19.109 --> 00:00:22.109
Rather, it also encompasses the realm of action.

00:00:22.109 --> 00:00:25.109
Fulfilling one's obligatory duties is considered a form of piety.

00:00:25.109 --> 00:00:30.109
This is because failing to perform them leads to harm in the Hereafter.

00:00:30.109 --> 00:00:33.109
Thus, maintaining family ties, which is an obligation, is a form of piety.

00:00:33.109 --> 00:00:36.109
Likewise, enjoining good and forbidding evil are acts of piety.

00:00:36.109 --> 00:00:41.109
As is fulfilling the rights of the poor, the neighbor, and the Muslims in general.

00:00:41.109 --> 00:00:44.109
And so on, in this manner.

00:00:44.109 --> 00:00:48.820
