Summary of Sunni concepts
Renewal and change
The term renewal and change is subject to manipulation and confusion among people
Where people use it to pass on some deviant concepts in decorated templates
To clarify the truth and remove confusion about this concept
We present the concept of renewal and change in the balance of Sharia
And what is opposite and equivalent in the pre-Islamic human scales
Firstly, the concept of renewal and change in the balance of Sharia
This concept stems from the fact that the religion of God Almighty is Islam
It is from God Almighty, who knows what was and what will be
Freed from ignorance, deficiency, injustice, and vanity
The wise and perfect in his wisdom
The righteous, the merciful, perfect in His righteousness and mercy
And based on this knowledge
It is the complete religion that is valid for every time and place
No matter how circumstances, circumstances, or people change
It does not require any increase or change
God Almighty said
Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed My blessings upon you, and have approved for you Islam as your religion
He does not need anyone to come and renew his principles, principles, beliefs, and morals
If the matter were so clear and decisive
What is the concept of renewal and change mentioned in the Almighty’s saying?
God does not change the condition of a people until He changes what is in themselves
And in his saying, may God bless him and grant him peace
God resurrects this nation at the beginning of every hundred years
Who will renew her religion for her?
Narrated by Abu Dawud and authenticated by Al-Albani
The answer must be said
The correct concept of change is in the previous verse
It is the change that a person makes to change his condition from the state that displeases God
From disbelief, hypocrisy, immorality, or disobedience
To the state that God loves
Commitment to obey Him and avoid sins
This kind of change
It is through which God changes people's conditions
From the state of misery, evil and calamities
To a state of goodness, prosperity and happiness
As for the concept of renewal mentioned in the previous hadith
It is as explained by the people of narration and knowledge
With the hadiths of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
It was stated in Awn al-Ma’boud on the authority of al-Alqami:
Meaning of renewal
Reviving the lesson of working according to the Qur’an and Sunnah
And the order is in accordance with them
Awn al-Ma’bood also says:
He said in the gatherings of the righteous
What is meant is to renew the religion of the nation
Reviving the lesson of working according to the Qur’an and Sunnah
The renovator does not know that
Except according to the prevailing opinion of the scholars who contemporaneous him
By reading his circumstances
And benefit from his knowledge
He is the renewal of religion
He must be a scientist
With the apparent and hidden religious sciences
Supporter of the Sunnah
Suppressing heresy
And may his knowledge spread to the people of his time
Rather, the renewal was at the beginning of every hundred years
For the sake of knowledge, scholars often have it
That is, their going and their double
And the year is over
And the emergence of heresies
Then he needs to renew the debt
Secondly
The concept of renewal and change in the balance of ignorance
It is used by ignorant infidels and hypocrites
Those who are influenced by them are ignorant Muslims and people of desires
The term renewal and change
They want to renew the principles and constants of religion
And change them to suit the times and its changes
They mislead people into thinking that this is subject to a year of change
Which nothing can stop
Including the origins, values and morals of religion
People can be classified regarding the issue of change and renewal
To the following situations
Firstly
The position of the hypocrites among secularists and liberals
They called for alienation and separation from religion
These people see a person in his physical condition and composition
It is the final reference
Hence, he alone has the right to claim
To paint a picture of the change he wants
According to a certain social contract, far from religion and revelation
Secondly
The modernist position
These include some Muslim children who believe in Islam
But in a modern way
تأتي تحت مسميات مختلفة
Sometimes in the name of Islamic rationalism
Sometimes in the name of the contemporary Muslim
Sometimes in the name of modern moderation and moderate Islam
إلى آخر مثل هذه المسميات
These also have degrees
Some of them live on secular ideas
He is affected by it due to the infection of the neighbourhood
Some of them move away from their modern homeland
About its secular limits, a little or a lot
It is their characteristic
What is called general leniency and leniency in dealing with rulings
In exchange for what they call rigidity and strictness
By this they mean people of integrity and piety
They complain about them and criticize them
They have a passion for change, even at the expense of religion and its rulings
They are similar to those before them in that they all target the curriculum
However, the previous category targets the general curriculum
That is, Islam in its generality, comprehensiveness and perfection
These target the special curriculum
The approach of the Sunnis and the community and the followers of the Salaf in particular
There is no one among such people whose legal knowledge can be trusted
Nor his faith fervor
Neither good understanding nor integrated awareness
Rather, there are many people among them who have whims and intellectual diseases
