00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.310
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:09.310 --> 00:00:13.310
The effects of believing in the Exaltation (al-'uluw) of Allah the Exalted.

00:00:13.310 --> 00:00:18.940
Belief in the Exaltation of Allah the Exalted encompasses three types.

00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:23.940
The exaltation of Essence, the exaltation of Omnipotence, and the exaltation of Status and Rank.

00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:29.940
This yields numerous positive effects for the servant, the most important of which are:

00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:30.940
First:

00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:32.939
Submission to Allah the Exalted.

00:00:32.939 --> 00:00:35.939
Humility and self-abasement before Him, glory be to Him.

00:00:35.939 --> 00:00:39.939
Accompanied by love, veneration, and reverence for Him.

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:43.939
These two are the pillars of servitude to Allah the Exalted.

00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:46.229
Second:

00:00:46.229 --> 00:00:51.229
Humility before Allah the Exalted and before the truth He has revealed.

00:00:51.229 --> 00:00:55.490
Belief in His Exaltation necessitates and establishes this.

00:00:55.490 --> 00:00:57.780
Third:

00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:00.780
Caution against arrogance and tyranny on earth without right.

00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:05.780
Avoiding the oppression of people, being arrogant toward them, and subjugating them.

00:01:05.780 --> 00:01:13.780
This is due to the certainty of the Exaltation of Allah, who is the Subduer of every unjust, tyrannical, and arrogant person on earth.

00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:15.099
Fourth:

00:01:15.099 --> 00:01:19.099
Purifying the heart from fear of weak created beings.

00:01:19.099 --> 00:01:22.099
For no matter how much power or status they are given,

00:01:22.099 --> 00:01:26.099
Allah is above them in His power and His subjugation.

00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:27.290
Fifth:

00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:34.290
Declaring Allah the Exalted free from every deficiency in His Essence, His attributes, and His actions.

00:01:34.290 --> 00:01:37.290
Affirming perfection for Him, glory be to Him.

00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:39.290
And praising Him for that.

00:01:39.290 --> 00:01:44.469
