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

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:14.660
The reason why the majority of those who follow falsehood are among the elite and the powerful.

00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:19.660
It has been the established pattern that the proponents of falsehood are those who hold worldly status and power.

00:00:19.660 --> 00:00:21.660
As Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:28.160
“And thus have We made in every city great ones of its wicked ones, that they should plot therein. They do but plot against themselves, though they perceive not.” (6:123)

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.660
Thus, they show hostility toward the religion, and the religion shows hostility toward them.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:40.560
This is only because the religion begins by stripping these elites of the authority they use to dominate the people.

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:45.560
And by stripping them of their claims to lordship, through which they compel people to worship them.

00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.560
And by stripping them of their practice of exercising sovereignty apart from Allah.

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.560
Through which they subjugate the necks of the people.

00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:56.560
The religion strips all of this from them in order to return it to Allah alone.

00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:01.560
The Lord of the people, the King of the people, the God of the people.

00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:06.129
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
