Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:10,509
Definition of Islam

3
00:00:10,509 --> 00:00:13,410
It is stated in the dictionary:

4
00:00:13,410 --> 00:00:17,410
"Aslama" means to submit and become a Muslim.

5
00:00:17,410 --> 00:00:21,410
And Ibn Taymiyyah says, explaining the meaning of Islam:

6
00:00:21,410 --> 00:00:24,410
The word "Islam" is used in two ways:

7
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:27,410
First, as a transitive verb.

8
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:29,410
Like His saying, the Exalted:

9
00:00:29,410 --> 00:00:35,409
“Who is better in religion than he who surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good (to men) and followeth the tradition of Abraham, the upright? Allah (Himself) chose Abraham for friend.” (4:125)

10
00:00:35,409 --> 00:00:37,409
And the second is intransitive.

11
00:00:37,409 --> 00:00:39,409
Like His saying, the Most High:

12
00:00:39,409 --> 00:00:42,409
“When his Lord said unto him: Surrender! he said: I have surrendered to the Lord of the Worlds.” (2:131)

13
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:45,409
“When his Lord said unto him: Surrender! he said: I have surrendered to the Lord of the Worlds.” (2:131)

14
00:00:45,409 --> 00:00:47,409
And like His saying, the Exalted:

15
00:00:47,409 --> 00:00:51,500
“Seek they other than the religion of Allah, when unto Him submitteth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and unto Him they will be returned.” (3:83)

16
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:53,500
And it encompasses two meanings:

17
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:55,500
The first is

18
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:57,500
submission and yielding.

19
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:58,500
And the second is

20
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:00,500
sincerity and exclusivity in that.

21
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:04,500
And its title is the declaration: "There is no god but Allah."

22
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:06,500
And it has two meanings:

23
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:07,500
The first is

24
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,500
the shared religion,

25
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:12,500
which is worshipping Allah alone, with no partner,

26
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:15,500
with which all the prophets were sent.

27
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,500
And the second is

28
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:23,500
specific to Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the religion, the law, and the methodology.

29
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,500
And it is the Shari'ah, the Tariqah, and the Haqiqqah.

30
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:29,700
And the pillars of Islam are five:

31
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:34,700
testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,

32
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:36,700
establishing the prayer,

33
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:38,700
giving the zakat,

34
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:40,700
fasting Ramadan,

35
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:44,700
and performing the pilgrimage to the House of Allah for whoever is able to find a way to it.

36
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:49,340
