00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.800
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:11.800
Piety and asceticism must be accompanied by intention.

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:18.730
Both asceticism and piety require an accompanying intention.

00:00:18.730 --> 00:00:23.730
For the mere act of abstaining, without regard for its connection to the Hereafter,

00:00:23.730 --> 00:00:26.730
cannot be termed asceticism or piety.

00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:31.730
A person might abandon certain worldly affairs merely out of a desire for comfort or laziness,

00:00:31.730 --> 00:00:34.729
rather than because those affairs distract them from the matters of the Hereafter.

00:00:34.729 --> 00:00:40.729
Whoever is in this state will not benefit from their leisure for the sake of their Hereafter;

00:00:40.729 --> 00:00:43.729
rather, they fall into the gravest corruption.

00:00:43.729 --> 00:00:46.729
Thus, they neither build up their worldly life nor their Hereafter.

00:00:46.729 --> 00:00:51.460
