00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.859
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:12.859
Among the benefits of the struggle between the people of truth and falsehood:

00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:20.760
Allah has decreed that His defense of those who believe shall be carried out through their own efforts.

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.760
He did not make it a gift that descends upon them from the heavens without any exertion.

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.760
Allah the Almighty says:

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.760
"That is so; and if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them Himself."

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.859
"But He does so to test some of you by means of others."

00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:37.859
Among the benefits of this:

00:00:37.859 --> 00:00:40.859
The testing of both the people of truth and the people of falsehood.

00:00:40.859 --> 00:00:42.859
As the verse has clarified.

00:00:42.859 --> 00:00:45.859
And as it is stated in the hadith qudsi:

00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:49.859
"I have only sent you to test you and to test others through you."

00:00:49.859 --> 00:00:51.920
Narrated by Muslim.

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.109
Furthermore, in the struggle against falsehood,

00:00:55.109 --> 00:00:58.109
there is a maturation and a clarification of the truth and its people.

00:00:58.109 --> 00:01:03.109
For the human constitution does not awaken all the latent energies within it

00:01:03.109 --> 00:01:06.109
except when it faces danger.

00:01:06.109 --> 00:01:11.109
The truth becomes illuminated and manifest whenever it is challenged by falsehood,

00:01:11.109 --> 00:01:14.109
as its proofs and evidences become clear.

00:01:14.109 --> 00:01:17.109
Thus, the veracity of the truth and its reality are revealed.
