A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. Understanding Allah’s Sunnah regarding change is the beginning of victory and empowerment. The current shift in the state of our Ummah, moving away from honor, supremacy, and empowerment, toward humiliation, degradation, and weakness, corresponds to how our condition diverges from that of the righteous salaf in terms of piety, guidance, and success. This is evidence that Allah’s Sunnah regarding change has taken effect, and that because we changed what was within ourselves, Allah changed our condition. Consequently, Allah will not change our current reality unless we change what is within ourselves regarding innovations and both manifest and hidden shirk, as well as our subservience to the West and our immorality, by committing ourselves to the Sunnah and realizing true tawhid, and by practicing loyalty to the believers, disavowal of the polytheists, and fear of Allah the Exalted. Thus, grasping Allah’s Sunnah regarding change and acting in accordance with it is the key to victory and empowerment, and the gateway to changing our bitter reality.
