00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.769
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.769 --> 00:00:12.769
The impact of hope and fear regarding created beings on one’s steadfastness.

00:00:12.769 --> 00:00:17.379
When a person who possesses the truth speaks or writes,

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,

00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:27.379
then the truth he writes or speaks will inevitably be distorted.

00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:32.380
This is because hope and fear for any created being pull the truth in different directions,

00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:35.380
and thus they cause it to emerge in a distorted form.

00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:41.380
Therefore, when a caller to the truth experiences any sense of hope or fear,

00:00:41.380 --> 00:00:45.380
he must refrain from speaking until that feeling subsides.

00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:48.380
Only then should he clarify the truth to the people,

00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:53.380
so that his explanation may be free from distortion and obfuscation.

00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:58.109
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
