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

2
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:09,740
Seclusion.

3
00:00:09,740 --> 00:00:14,630
It is the abandonment of the acts of disobedience that people are currently engaged in.

4
00:00:14,630 --> 00:00:19,629
It means distancing oneself from them and not associating with them, except for the purpose of goodness or calling them to Allah.

5
00:00:19,629 --> 00:00:25,789
This is legislated for one who is unable to enjoin good and forbid evil.

6
00:00:25,789 --> 00:00:28,789
And who does not have the capacity to migrate.

7
00:00:28,789 --> 00:00:34,789
Or for one who finds no place to migrate to where he can openly practice his religion.

8
00:00:34,789 --> 00:00:39,789
In such a case, it is mandatory to withdraw from people and not associate with them in their falsehood.

9
00:00:39,789 --> 00:00:44,789
One should instead focus on purifying the soul through worship and righteous deeds.

10
00:00:44,789 --> 00:00:48,789
One should occupy oneself with that, and especially with one's family and children.

11
00:00:48,789 --> 00:00:53,789
One may still associate with people for the sake of goodness or for the unavoidable necessities of worldly life.

00:00:53,789 --> 00:00:58,859
Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, said regarding the seclusion of Ibrahim, peace be upon him, from his people.

14
00:01:04,859 --> 00:01:09,859
“I shall withdraw from you and that unto which ye pray beside Allah, and I shall pray unto my Lord. It may be that, in prayer unto my Lord, I shall not be unblest.” (19:48)
