00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.929
Summary of Sunni concepts

00:00:08.929 --> 00:00:12.859
Definition of asceticism and piety

00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:16.859
One of the best things that has been said about defining both asceticism and piety

00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:19.859
Saying of Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

00:00:19.859 --> 00:00:23.859
Asceticism is abandoning what is not useful in the afterlife

00:00:23.859 --> 00:00:27.859
Piety is abandoning what one fears will cause harm in the afterlife

00:00:27.859 --> 00:00:31.980
Therefore, asceticism is higher than piety

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:36.979
Because the pious person may take what is not beneficial in the afterlife

00:00:36.979 --> 00:00:38.979
As long as there is no harm

00:00:38.979 --> 00:00:40.979
And accordingly

00:00:40.979 --> 00:00:42.979
Every ascetic is devout

00:00:42.979 --> 00:00:45.979
Not every pious person is an ascetic

00:00:45.979 --> 00:00:50.719
Piety and asceticism must have intention

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:57.329
Both asceticism and piety must have an intention to accompany them

00:00:57.329 --> 00:01:02.329
It is pure abandonment without regard to its relationship to the afterlife

00:01:02.329 --> 00:01:05.329
It is not called asceticism or piety

00:01:05.329 --> 00:01:10.329
A person may abandon some worldly matters in search of comfort and laziness

00:01:10.329 --> 00:01:14.329
No, because it distracts him from the afterlife

00:01:14.329 --> 00:01:16.329
Whose business was this?

00:01:16.329 --> 00:01:20.329
He does not benefit from his free time for the sake of his afterlife

00:01:20.329 --> 00:01:22.329
Rather, it causes the greatest corruption

00:01:22.329 --> 00:01:26.329
He does not live in this world or the afterlife

00:01:26.329 --> 00:01:31.260
Asceticism and what it helps in obedience

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:36.180
Everything that is used to help us obey God Almighty

00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:39.180
Not abandoning it is asceticism

00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:45.180
Whoever enjoys permissible things without expansion will distract him from the afterlife

00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:49.180
In doing so, they intended to strengthen their obedience to God Almighty

00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:52.180
He did not deviate from the description of ascetics

00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:56.180
Because this is what will benefit him in the afterlife

00:01:56.180 --> 00:02:00.140
Is there asceticism with singing?

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:03.659
Asceticism may be with Ghana

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:05.659
As it is with poverty

00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:08.659
He is one of the first prophets and predecessors

00:02:08.659 --> 00:02:10.659
Who were rich

00:02:10.659 --> 00:02:14.659
This did not exclude them from being ascetics

00:02:14.659 --> 00:02:18.659
Because they were not preoccupied with their need for the afterlife

00:02:18.659 --> 00:02:21.659
Rather, they used it to benefit them

00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:24.659
Imam Ahmed was asked about the man

00:02:24.659 --> 00:02:26.659
He will have a thousand debts

00:02:26.659 --> 00:02:28.659
Will he be an ascetic?

00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:31.659
And he said yes

00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:34.659
On the condition that he will not be happy if it increases

00:02:34.659 --> 00:02:37.659
And do not be sad if it decreases

00:02:37.659 --> 00:02:42.840
Piety is not only a matter of abandonment

00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.990
It's wrong

00:02:44.990 --> 00:02:48.990
Believing that piety is only a matter of abandonment

00:02:48.990 --> 00:02:51.990
But it is also a matter of action

00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:55.990
Performing duties is considered piety

00:02:55.990 --> 00:02:59.990
Because failure to perform it will cause harm in the afterlife

00:02:59.990 --> 00:03:02.990
It is piety to maintain ties with one’s relatives

00:03:02.990 --> 00:03:06.990
Enjoining good and forbidding evil

00:03:06.990 --> 00:03:09.990
And fulfilling the rights of the poor and the neighbor

00:03:09.990 --> 00:03:13.990
And all Muslims, etc

00:03:13.990 --> 00:03:17.759
A legal document is required

00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.759
To refrain from something

00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.530
Piety should be based on something

00:03:24.530 --> 00:03:27.530
Whether by abandonment or action

00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:30.530
On evidence from the Qur’an or Sunnah

00:03:30.530 --> 00:03:33.530
There is no fear of desires and corrupt thoughts

00:03:33.530 --> 00:03:37.530
Like people who are obsessive about purity and impurities

00:03:37.530 --> 00:03:40.530
Where do they think this whispering of theirs is?

00:03:40.530 --> 00:03:44.530
Out of piety and concern for the validity of worship

00:03:44.530 --> 00:03:47.530
Although this is reprehensible according to Islamic law

00:03:47.530 --> 00:03:50.530
The same applies to those who abstain from marrying women

00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:54.530
Sleeping at night and breaking the fast during the day

00:03:54.530 --> 00:03:57.530
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, was disparaged

00:03:58.530 --> 00:04:01.530
And he said about him, whoever turns away from my Sunnah

00:04:01.530 --> 00:04:04.530
It is not agreed upon by me

00:04:04.530 --> 00:04:08.810
Of complete piety knowledge

00:04:08.810 --> 00:04:11.810
The best of two good and the worst of two evils

00:04:11.810 --> 00:04:15.699
Of complete piety knowledge

00:04:15.699 --> 00:04:18.699
The best of two good and the worst of two evils

00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:21.699
When there is a conflict

00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:24.699
He offers to do their good and leave their evil

00:04:24.699 --> 00:04:27.699
Otherwise one might fall

00:04:27.699 --> 00:04:30.699
In a kind of false piety

00:04:30.699 --> 00:04:33.699
Whoever abandons prayer falls

00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:36.699
Behind the heretical imams

00:04:36.699 --> 00:04:39.699
In abandoning Friday prayers and congregational prayers

00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:43.470
He thinks that is piety

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.560
The reality of luxury

00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.560
Luxury is what distracts a person most

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.560
About piety and asceticism in this world

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.560
It does not mean merely enjoying grace

00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.560
He who enjoys and expands in the havens of the world

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.560
And her desires

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.560
He who was blessed with grace

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.560
He is the one who was overshadowed and overpowered by grace

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.879
And retaliation is the return of truth

00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.879
Luxury is not mentioned in the Qur’an except as reprehensible

00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.879
As in the words of God Almighty

00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.879
And those who did wrong followed what they luxuriated in

00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.879
And they were criminals

00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.879
And We did not send to any town any warner

00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.879
Except the affluent ones said

00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.879
We disbelieve in what you were sent with

00:05:38.509 --> 00:05:41.509
One of the most important things that helps with piety

00:05:41.509 --> 00:05:44.509
Asceticism in this world is a shortening of hope

00:05:44.509 --> 00:05:47.509
It is the knowledge of the imminent departure

00:05:47.509 --> 00:05:50.509
And the speed of life ending

00:05:50.509 --> 00:05:53.509
God Almighty said

00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:56.509
Who realizes how quickly the world will disappear?

00:05:56.509 --> 00:05:59.579
And its annihilation

00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:02.579
With what accompanies its collection

00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:05.579
Of pain, pain, and anguish

00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:08.579
Then he realizes it

00:06:08.579 --> 00:06:11.579
The inevitability of the afterlife

00:06:11.579 --> 00:06:14.579
And the speed of its acceptance

00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:17.579
With what follows from her work

00:06:17.579 --> 00:06:20.579
And the honor of the good things it contains

00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:24.579
Who understands all that?

00:06:24.579 --> 00:06:27.579
His hope in this world is shortened

00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:30.579
His piety and asceticism are achieved in it

00:06:30.579 --> 00:06:33.579
And he is one of those who are sincere in his preparedness

00:06:33.579 --> 00:06:36.579
To meet God

00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:39.579
This is the key to all good deeds

00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:42.639
And the barrier from bad deeds

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.639
Shortening hope is the first means

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.639
Helped to abstain from this world

00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.639
One of the means that helps one to abstain from this world

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.980
In addition to the aforementioned shortness of hope

00:06:56.980 --> 00:06:59.980
Firstly

00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:03.879
Frequent mention of death

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.879
And visiting the sick

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.879
And funeral witnesses

00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.879
And visiting graves

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.879
Secondly

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.009
Accompanying the righteous

00:07:19.009 --> 00:07:22.009
Those whose visions and conversations are remembered in the afterlife

00:07:22.009 --> 00:07:25.009
Third

00:07:25.009 --> 00:07:28.139
Frequent reading and contemplation of the Qur’an

00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:31.230
Fourth

00:07:31.230 --> 00:07:34.230
Frequent remembrance of God Almighty

00:07:34.230 --> 00:07:37.230
His supplication and supplication to him

00:07:37.230 --> 00:07:40.329
Fifth

00:07:40.329 --> 00:07:43.329
Constantly holding yourself accountable

00:07:43.329 --> 00:07:46.459
Thinking about the purpose and destiny of its creation

00:07:46.459 --> 00:07:49.459
VI

00:07:49.459 --> 00:07:52.459
Reduce interactions with people

00:07:52.459 --> 00:07:55.459
Except for what is useful

00:07:55.459 --> 00:07:58.459
Allocating times for the servant to be alone with his Lord

00:07:58.459 --> 00:08:01.459
Such as seclusion during Ramadan

00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:04.459
And sitting for remembrance from after the dawn prayer until sunrise

00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:07.459
From after noon on Friday until sunset

00:08:07.459 --> 00:08:11.220
One of the fruits of asceticism and piety

00:08:11.220 --> 00:08:14.959
Piety and asceticism in this world

00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.959
They protect women from falling into worldly desires

00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.959
He is the one who is pious and ascetic in this world

00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.959
He keeps people away

00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.959
About Al-Alawi’s request and the presidency therein

00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.959
And envy and hatred because of it

00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.960
It also alienated people

00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.960
About the temptations of hypocrisy and bragging

00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.960
He concealed the truth and disguised it with falsehood

00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.960
And circumventing God's law

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.960
People and sins

00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.960
The source of which is attachment to worldly desires

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.659
Asceticism and piety

00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:56.240
They facilitate the path to God

00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.240
That is the public benefit

00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.240
For piety and asceticism in this world

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:05.240
Facilitating behavior on the path to God

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.240
And sincere preparation to meet Him Almighty

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.299
Whoever wants to reach his message

00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:14.299
To his goal

00:09:14.299 --> 00:09:17.299
Let his heart be lightened from the burdens of this world

00:09:17.299 --> 00:09:20.299
He who walks on his feet also feels light

00:09:20.299 --> 00:09:23.980
From the loads on his back
