00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.279
The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:14.279
In calling to Allah the Almighty, one must exert effort and make sacrifices.

00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:19.179
This is how Allah, the Exalted and Wise, willed it.

00:00:19.179 --> 00:00:25.179
And if Allah, Glorified is He, had willed, He would not have made this religion [dependent] on calls and sacrifices.

00:00:25.179 --> 00:00:30.179
But Allah the Almighty did not intend that, for great wisdoms.

00:00:30.179 --> 00:00:36.179
He, Glorified is He, said: "And if Allah had willed, they would not have done so."

00:00:36.179 --> 00:00:40.179
“Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.” (47:4)

00:00:40.179 --> 00:00:44.399
The seriousness of this religion, its purpose, and its greatness

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.399
deserve all the sacrifices and strenuous efforts for its sake.
