A Summary of the Concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.250 --> 00:00:15.080
The Purpose of Dividing Sciences into Religious and Worldly

00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:21.079
Scientifically speaking, knowledge can only be divided into religious sciences and worldly sciences.

00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:29.140
Religious knowledge is the knowledge of what Allah revealed to His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the Book,

00:00:29.140 --> 00:00:35.140
and what emanated from the Messenger, peace be upon him, in terms of sayings, actions, and approvals,

00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:42.140
which clarifies the proofs, realizes monotheism and guidance, and distinguishes between truth and falsehood.

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:49.140
It also secures people's interests in this world and the Hereafter and establishes the proof against people.

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:56.140
Under religious knowledge fall what are termed auxiliary sciences or tools of knowledge,

00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:04.140
such as the science of language, the science of usul (principles), the science of hadith terminology, and everything that serves the knowledge of the Book and the Sunnah,

00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:13.269
and clarifies their meanings. Worldly sciences encompass all that benefits people in their worldly lives,

00:01:13.269 --> 00:01:21.269
and contributes to development and prosperity, such as the sciences of medicine, engineering, physics, and so forth.
