A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:09,019 --> 00:00:13,300
Resisting this tribulation.

3
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:20,300
Indeed, this tribulation can only be resisted by holding fast to the Book of Allah—Mighty and Majestic is He—and reflecting upon it.

4
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:24,300
For within it lies a clear and manifest demonstration of its falsehood.

5
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:27,300
It contains the explanation of the path of the believers.

6
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:30,300
And the explanation of the path of the criminals.

7
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:34,299
If the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

8
00:00:34,299 --> 00:00:38,299
are one’s source for guidance and knowledge,

9
00:00:38,299 --> 00:00:42,429
then such malicious calls will not deceive him.

10
00:00:42,429 --> 00:00:44,429
Allah the Exalted says:

11
00:00:44,429 --> 00:00:48,429
“And (He commandeth you, saying): This is My straight path, so follow it. Follow not other ways, lest ye be parted from His way. This hath He ordained for you, that ye may ward off (evil).” (6:153)

12
00:00:48,429 --> 00:00:53,429
"And do not follow [other] ways, for they will lead you away from His way."

13
00:00:53,429 --> 00:00:58,429
“And (He commandeth you, saying): This is My straight path, so follow it. Follow not other ways, lest ye be parted from His way. This hath He ordained for you, that ye may ward off (evil).” (6:153)

14
00:00:58,429 --> 00:01:01,429
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

15
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:06,430
"I have left among you two matters; you will not go astray as long as you hold fast to them:

16
00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:09,500
The Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger."

17
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:13,500
It is incumbent upon the scholars of the Ummah and its callers

18
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,500
to clarify the reality of this malicious call to the people.

19
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:20,500
For this is what Allah has taken as a covenant from the people of knowledge:

20
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:25,500
that they must clarify the truth and falsehood to the people and not conceal it.

21
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:27,500
The Glorified says:

22
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:30,500
“And a generation hath succeeded them who inherited the scriptures. They grasp the goods of this low life (as the price of evil-doing) and say: It will be forgiven us. And if there came to them (again) the offer of the like, they would accept it (and would sin again). Hath not the covenant of the Scripture been taken on their behalf that they should not speak aught concerning Allah save the truth? And they have studied that which is therein. And the abode of the Hereafter is better, for those who ward off (evil). Have ye then no sense?” (7:169)

23
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:34,500
"That they should not say about Allah except the truth."

24
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,500
And the Glorified also says:

25
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,500
“And (remember) when Allah laid a charge on those who had received the Scripture (He said): Ye are to expound it to mankind and not to hide it. But they flung it behind their backs and bought thereby a little gain. Verily evil is that which they have gained thereby.” (3:187)

26
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:45,099
“And (remember) when Allah laid a charge on those who had received the Scripture (He said): Ye are to expound it to mankind and not to hide it. But they flung it behind their backs and bought thereby a little gain. Verily evil is that which they have gained thereby.” (3:187)
