00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,929
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,929 --> 00:00:13,619
The fruits of affirming the Oneness of Lordship (Tawhid al-Rububiyyah).

3
00:00:13,619 --> 00:00:18,620
Belief in the Oneness of Lordship yields numerous, magnificent fruits.

4
00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:20,620
Among the most important of these are:

5
00:00:20,620 --> 00:00:21,620
First:

6
00:00:21,620 --> 00:00:25,620
Defining for people the purpose for which they were created.

7
00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:31,620
Informing them of what benefits and harms them by receiving that guidance from their Lord.

8
00:00:31,620 --> 00:00:36,619
For it does not befit the Lord of the worlds to leave His servants aimless,

9
00:00:36,619 --> 00:00:41,619
Without teaching them what benefits them in their worldly life and their hereafter.

10
00:00:41,619 --> 00:00:43,619
Allah the Exalted says:

11
00:00:43,619 --> 00:00:50,619
“Deemed ye then that We had created you for naught, and that ye would not be returned unto Us?” (23:115)

12
00:00:50,619 --> 00:00:52,880
Second:

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,880
Realizing the Oneness of Allah’s Names and Attributes.

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,880
For the Lord must necessarily be the Ever-Living, the Sustainer,

15
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,880
The Creator, the All-Powerful,

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,879
The All-Knowing, the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, the One who possesses Will.

17
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:10,879
And say the same regarding all of Allah’s supreme Names and Attributes.

18
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:13,230
Third:

19
00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:15,230
Contentment with the decree and law of Allah.

20
00:01:15,230 --> 00:01:19,230
Because acknowledging the Lordship of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,

21
00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:24,230
Is to be content with what Allah apportions to the servant and decrees for him.

22
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:29,230
This also necessitates being content with what He legislates and commands,

23
00:01:29,230 --> 00:01:32,230
And refraining from what He forbids.

24
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:33,359
Fourth:

25
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:39,359
Loving Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, thanking Him, magnifying Him, and revering Him.

26
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:45,359
For creation is innately disposed to love the One who sustains them, provides for them, and treats them with kindness.

27
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:52,359
This instills in the servant’s heart the love of Allah, the love of what He loves, and the love of those whom He loves,

28
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:55,359
As well as hatred for what He hates and those whom He hates.

29
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:58,359
It leads to hastening toward His pleasure, magnifying Him,

30
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:01,359
And revering, thanking, and praising Him.

31
00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:02,680
Fifth:

32
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,680
Relying upon Allah in all matters.

33
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,680
For whoever is certain that Allah is the Provider and the Disposer of affairs,

34
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,680
“That is because Allah, He is the Truth and because He quickeneth the dead, and because He is Able to do all things;” (22:6)

35
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,680
His heart becomes filled with reliance upon Him, glory be to Him, in all his affairs.

36
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,900
Sixth:

37
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:26,900
Turning to Allah and beseeching Him during times of hardship and calamity.

38
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:30,900
Due to the certainty that He alone is the Disposer of all affairs,

39
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:32,900
The One who brings benefit and causes harm,

40
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:35,900
The Reliever of distress and the Fulfiller of needs.

41
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:40,479
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
