00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,740
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:12,179
Strength.

3
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:14,179
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

4
00:00:14,179 --> 00:00:16,179
"The strong believer

5
00:00:16,179 --> 00:00:18,179
is better and more beloved to Allah

6
00:00:18,179 --> 00:00:20,179
than the weak believer,

7
00:00:20,179 --> 00:00:22,300
though there is good in both."

8
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:24,300
Recorded by Muslim.

9
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:26,500
This is a general expression

10
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:28,500
that encompasses every form of strength,

11
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:30,500
in all its goodness,

12
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:32,500
and thus it includes military strength,

13
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:34,500
physical strength,

14
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:36,500
and strength in knowledge, understanding, and faith.

15
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,500
Allah the Exalted said:

16
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:40,500
"O Yahya,

17
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,500
take the Scripture with strength."

18
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:44,500
This concept expands

19
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:46,500
to include a domain

20
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:48,500
that might not occur to a person's mind:

21
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:50,500
the strength of self-control

22
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:52,500
and mastery

23
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:54,619
over oneself during moments of anger.

24
00:00:54,619 --> 00:00:56,619
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

25
00:00:56,619 --> 00:00:58,619
"The strong person is not

26
00:00:58,619 --> 00:01:00,619
the one who can wrestle others down;

27
00:01:00,619 --> 00:01:02,619
rather, the strong person is the one who controls himself

28
00:01:02,619 --> 00:01:04,620
when he is angry."

29
00:01:04,620 --> 00:01:06,620
Agreed upon.

31
00:01:09,299 --> 00:01:11,299
