00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.699
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:09.699
Abrogation (al-naskh).

00:00:09.699 --> 00:00:14.699
Linguistically, abrogation means to lift or remove something.

00:00:14.699 --> 00:00:20.789
Legally, it is the lifting of a legal ruling by a subsequent ruling that replaces it.

00:00:20.789 --> 00:00:27.789
It is understood from this definition that one must know which ruling came first and which came later.

00:00:27.789 --> 00:00:30.789
This is necessary to distinguish the abrogating ruling from the abrogated one.

00:00:30.789 --> 00:00:33.789
The earlier ruling is the abrogated one.

00:00:33.789 --> 00:00:37.789
The later ruling is the abrogating one.

00:00:37.789 --> 00:00:40.789
This is established in both the Qur'an and the Sunnah.

00:00:40.789 --> 00:00:44.789
The evidence for this from the Qur'an is the saying of Allah the Exalted:

00:00:44.789 --> 00:00:51.789
“Nothing of our revelation (even a single verse) do we abrogate or cause be forgotten, but we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able to do all things?” (2:106)

00:00:51.789 --> 00:00:56.789
“Nothing of our revelation (even a single verse) do we abrogate or cause be forgotten, but we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able to do all things?” (2:106)

00:00:56.789 --> 00:00:58.789
And His saying, the Exalted:

00:00:58.789 --> 00:01:04.790
“And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.” (16:101)

00:01:04.790 --> 00:01:08.790
“And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.” (16:101)

00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:11.790
Rather, most of them do not know.

00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:16.370
