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

2
00:00:08,769 --> 00:00:12,769
The impact of hope and fear regarding created beings on one’s steadfastness.

3
00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:17,379
When a person who possesses the truth speaks or writes,

4
00:00:17,379 --> 00:00:22,379
and within his heart there is fear or hope directed toward someone other than Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,

5
00:00:22,379 --> 00:00:27,379
then the truth he writes or speaks will inevitably be distorted.

6
00:00:27,379 --> 00:00:32,380
This is because hope and fear for any created being pull the truth in different directions,

7
00:00:32,380 --> 00:00:35,380
and thus they cause it to emerge in a distorted form.

8
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:41,380
Therefore, when a caller to the truth experiences any sense of hope or fear,

9
00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:45,380
he must refrain from speaking until that feeling subsides.

10
00:00:45,380 --> 00:00:48,380
Only then should he clarify the truth to the people,

11
00:00:48,380 --> 00:00:53,380
so that his explanation may be free from distortion and obfuscation.
