A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,859 --> 00:00:11,859
The pairing of repentance with righteous deeds.

3
00:00:11,859 --> 00:00:17,179
Allah’s mention of righteous deeds following repentance.

4
00:00:17,179 --> 00:00:19,179
For the Almighty says:

5
00:00:19,179 --> 00:00:25,179
“And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance -” (25:71)

6
00:00:25,179 --> 00:00:30,269
He, glory be to Him, confirmed the validity of such repentance by saying:

7
00:00:30,269 --> 00:00:33,270
“And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance -” (25:71)

8
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:37,270
For righteous deeds performed with or immediately following repentance

9
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:40,270
are a sign of the sincerity of the penitent,

10
00:00:40,270 --> 00:00:43,270
and an indication that the repentance is worthy of acceptance.

11
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:47,270
This is because sin involves action and movement.

12
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:51,270
Whoever desists from it will find a void

13
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:54,270
caused by abandoning that action and movement.

14
00:00:54,270 --> 00:00:57,270
If they fill that void with a counteracting righteous deed

15
00:00:57,270 --> 00:01:00,270
and positive activity,

16
00:01:00,270 --> 00:01:02,270
they occupy themselves with obedience.

17
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:06,269
Otherwise, the soul will yearn for the sin and transgression

18
00:01:06,269 --> 00:01:11,269
due to the influence of this void felt after desisting from it.

19
00:01:11,269 --> 00:01:16,489
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
