A Summary of the Concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.929 --> 00:00:13.980
The Reality of the Conflict Between Truth and Falsehood

00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:19.980
Indeed, the struggle between truth and falsehood is an immutable divine decree.

00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:23.980
It begins with a conflict in concepts, morals, and values.

00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:29.980
The arena for this struggle is through the jihad of words and clear exposition.

00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:35.979
This is achieved by establishing the concepts and values that truth and its adherents call for.

00:00:35.979 --> 00:00:42.979
And by refuting the concepts of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), clarifying their deviations, contradictions, and baseness.

00:00:42.979 --> 00:00:48.049
The peak of the struggle between truth and falsehood is reached when capability arises.

00:00:48.049 --> 00:00:55.049
In the fields of struggle with the sword and weaponry, and in the killing of the symbols of disbelief.

00:00:55.049 --> 00:01:02.049
When they obstruct the path of Allah and prevent people from reaching the truth.

00:01:02.049 --> 00:01:06.049
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said concerning this decree:

00:01:06.049 --> 00:01:12.049
“Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;” (6:112)

00:01:12.049 --> 00:01:17.049
“Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;” (6:112)

00:01:17.049 --> 00:01:23.049
“Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;” (6:112)

00:01:23.049 --> 00:01:31.049
“So they routed them by Allah's leave and David slew Goliath; and Allah gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of that which He willeth. And if Allah had not repelled some men by others the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah is a Lord of Kindness to (His) creatures.” (2:251)

00:01:31.049 --> 00:01:39.049
And He, the Mighty and Majestic, said: "And fight them until there is no more persecution, and all religion is for Allah."
