00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.830
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.830 --> 00:00:12.830
Most of creation harbor ill thoughts regarding their Lord.

00:00:12.830 --> 00:00:16.440
Most of creation, that is, except for those whom Allah wills.

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.440
“Then, after grief, He sent down security for you. As slumber did it overcome a party of you, while (the other) party, who were anxious on their own account, thought wrongly of Allah, the thought of ignorance. They said: Have we any part in the cause? Say (O Muhammad): The cause belongeth wholly to Allah. They hide within themselves (a thought) which they reveal not unto thee, saying: Had we had any part in the cause we should not have been slain here. Say: Even though ye had been in your houses, those appointed to be slain would have gone forth to the places where they were to lie. (All this hath been) in order that Allah might try what is in your breasts and prove what is in your hearts. Allah is Aware of what is hidden in the breasts (of men).” (3:154)

00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.440
This is the ill-conceived suspicion and the ignorance of the Age of Ignorance.

00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:27.440
Many of the children of Adam believe that they have been deprived of their rights and have been given a meager share.

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.440
They believe they deserve more than what Allah has bestowed upon them.

00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.439
The state of their being declares:

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.439
"My Lord has wronged me and withheld my due."

00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.439
Their own souls bear witness against them in this regard.

00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:43.439
Even if their tongues deny it and they do not dare to express it openly.

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.469
No one is safe from this except those who have truly known Allah as He ought to be known.

00:00:47.469 --> 00:00:54.469
And who have understood the meanings of His beautiful names and sublime attributes with precise and correct understanding.

00:00:54.469 --> 00:00:59.109
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
