00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.990
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

00:00:08.990 --> 00:00:12.990
Domains where the intellect must submit to textual evidence and rulings.

00:00:12.990 --> 00:00:19.760
The areas where the intellect has no role other than submission and compliance are manifested in:

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.760
Submission to matters of the unseen (Ghayb),

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.760
which is among the most essential qualities of the believers.

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.760
Allah Almighty said:

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.760
“This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil).” (2:2)

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.759
"A guidance for the righteous,

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.759
who believe in the unseen."

00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:41.789
They are also manifested in submission to Sharia rulings—both commands and prohibitions—

00:00:41.789 --> 00:00:43.789
as well as accepting and yielding to them,

00:00:43.789 --> 00:00:48.789
whether one comprehends the underlying wisdom of their legislation or not.

00:00:48.789 --> 00:00:53.789
They are also manifested in submission to Allah’s universal, predestined decrees,

00:00:53.789 --> 00:00:58.789
along with the firm conviction that Allah possesses profound wisdom in whatever He decrees.

00:00:58.789 --> 00:01:03.789
This does not mean one should not repel decrees by taking legitimate means,

00:01:03.789 --> 00:01:06.790
which are themselves considered part of divine decree;

00:01:06.790 --> 00:01:09.790
rather, Allah's decree is repelled by Allah's decree.

00:01:09.790 --> 00:01:14.790
And whatever cannot be repelled, one is obligated to submit to Allah regarding it.
