Summary of Sunni concepts
Balance
Islamic education topics are many and varied
One of the most important of them
Balance
Balance is a characteristic of a good person
As God Almighty said
And thus We made you a moderate nation
That is, they are balanced
A middle ground between excess and negligence in everything
And every activity you do
Such as the balance between the body's energy
The energy of the mind and the energy of the soul
The balance between a person’s materialism and morale
And the balance between his necessities and his longings
The balance between knowledge and tangible reality
Belief in the unseen that the senses cannot perceive
The balance between individualism and collectivism
And balance in economic, social and political systems
It is a balance according to God’s guidance and law
Equality, differentiation, and the truth of each of them
Absolute equality is impossible legally and rationally
As for equality in what is possible, this is right and justice
What clarifies what equality is permissible and what is not permissible is Sharia
Equality is in freedom, justice, and other public rights and public duties
Preserved and protected by law
There is nothing else in which the differentiation takes place
Its standard depends on its type
The criterion of differentiation before God Almighty is piety
O people, we created you from a male and a female.
And We made you into peoples and tribes that you may know one another.
The most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most pious of you.
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab
Nor for a non-Arab over an Arab
No red on black
Nor black on red
Except with piety
The most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most pious of you.
As for the differentiation in jobs and appropriateness
Its criteria should be competence and honesty
One of them said, Father, you are renting
The best person to hire is the strong and trustworthy
As for the difference in livelihood, wealth and poverty
Understanding, perception, and other divine matters
It happens according to God’s will and wisdom
We divided among them their livelihood in this worldly life
And We raised some of them above others in degrees
To make fun of each other
God Almighty told a story about one of His prophets in describing Taloot
God chose him over you and increased him abundantly in knowledge and body
And God gives His kingdom to whomever He wishes
God is All-Merciful
With this Islamic equality
Stop bragging about your lineage
A promise from pre-Islamic times
Nationalism became an ignorant claim
While people are still in the world
They suffer from the brunt of racial discrimination
Strength
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
A strong believer is better and more beloved to God than a weak believer
And in all good things
Narrated by Muslim
This is a general term
It includes every good force
It deals with military force
And physical strength
Strength is in knowledge, understanding and faith
God Almighty said
Yahya took the book forcefully
This concept expands
To include an area that may not have occurred to anyone
The power of self control
And control it when angry
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
It's not extreme
But the strong one is the one who controls himself when angry
Agreed
The view of the weak in Islam
God can help some people who are weak in some area
For a wisdom that God Almighty knows
You find someone blind, for example
You find another mentally disabled person
Thirdly, it is missing one or some of its members
Or destitute poor
Or sick for a while
And so on
And for these people in Islam
Great moral value
As he, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
You only provide for and support your weak ones
Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi and Ahmad
It was authenticated by Al-Albani
While we see Hitler
He gets rid of the wounded Germans
Because they are assigned to treat them
Without any financial benefit
And others like him
They also believe that the weak deserve death
They call that euthanasia
Then it appears to be weak
Or a disability in some sense
It may have other advantages
Not many get it
Someone who appears safe
How many learned scholars
Or a famous village reader
He was blind
Moral and partial death
It is known that death is the loss of life
But Islam employs this meaning
It is useful in many facts
So he will go astray and neglect guidance
And the truth is death
Guidance is life and light
I guess he was dead
So We revived him and gave him light
He walks among the people
Like someone like him in the darkness
And God mentioned life
Ignoring it is death
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Like the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not remember his Lord
Like the living and the dead
Agreed
Sleep is called the minor death
This indicates resurrection after death
God Almighty said
God takes souls when they die
Who did not die in her sleep
He catches the woman whom death has destroyed
The other is sent for a specified period
Indeed, in that are signs for people who reflect
Libido
Islam views the sexual instinct as it views all other instincts that God created in the human soul
This instinct was created to work
No collapsing or malfunctioning
That is reprehensible
As God Almighty said
We created monasticism that we did not prescribe for them
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
By God, I am the most God-fearing and most God-fearing of you
But I fast, break my fast, pray, and sleep
And I marry women
Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
Islam does not forbid this instinct nor suppress it
But it's just him
He refines it and uses it for what it was made for
It is marriage and reproduction
He makes them feelings of affection and mercy
Not just a bestial whim like the whim of a raging animal
Among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may find tranquility in them
And He placed between you affection and mercy
Indeed, in that are signs for people who reflect
He does not appreciate sex
But he does not let him go
To enslave man with lust
Rather, it is controlled by legislation that directs it to its correct destination
Adultery is forbidden
And he commands regardless of sight
To block the pretext and preserve his relief
Tell the believers to lower their gazes and guard their private parts
That is better for them
God is aware of what they do
And tell the believing women to be angry with their eyes and to guard their private parts
They do not display their adornment except what is apparent
And to strike their moon over their pockets
He advises those who cannot afford marriage to fast
To refine and control himself
Until he is able to spend it in a halal destination
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
O young people!
Whoever of you can afford it, let him get married
It lowers one's gaze and protects one's chastity
Whoever is unable must fast
For it came to him
Agreed
Ignorance
Pre-Islamic times are not a period of time that the Arabs were in before Islam
Or it is against science and culture
Rather, it is a psychological state that refuses to be guided by God’s guidance
and institutional or societal situation
You refuse to rule by what God has revealed
It is an incurable disease that occurs at any time
There are known issues
Whoever imitates the Arabs of pre-Islamic times or other people of contemporary pre-Islamic times
He became ill
It is also that
Name calling, bigotry, and abhorrent racism
All of this is from ignorance
When Satan swayed between one of the immigrants and one of the Ansar
Al-Ansari said
Oh the Ansar
Al-Muhajiri said
Oh the immigrants
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, became angry
And he said
What about the claim of ignorance?
And he said
Leave her alone, she is beautiful
Agreed
This and the two sects are the best people after the prophets
What about those without them?
This includes fanaticism toward a nationality or tribe
Or a nationality or a sports team
And so on
Until you see someone supporting his fellow countryman, even if he is an infidel
On his Muslim brother from another country
Imitation
It is ignorance
Imitating the infidels
The greatest of them is following their opinions and theories that are contrary to God’s law
And God Almighty says
Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow any friends other than Him
Little do you remember
This does not mean not benefiting from their knowledge in worldly matters in a way that does not contradict Sharia law
It is imitating the infidels
Follow their returns, fees and social customs
And celebrate their holidays
The Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, forbade the arrogance of foreigners
That is, speaking their language
Imam Ahmed said
Speaking in a language other than Arabic for no reason is hypocrisy
Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said
Similar in appearance
A type of affection, love, and loyalty is inherited internally
Also, love is inside
Outward similarity is inherited
This is something that is attested by sense and experience
This includes imitating Westerners when shaving their beards
And in hair styles
And in the fashions that distract people in this worldly life
It distracts them from caring about important matters
And what enables them to lead the world
