00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,509
Summary of Sunni concepts

2
00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:12,890
Moderation in doctrine

3
00:00:12,890 --> 00:00:21,890
First, the Muslim faith is a middle ground between what the Jews believe and what the Christians believe in many matters

4
00:00:21,890 --> 00:00:36,950
First, the Muslims believed in the Messengers, honored them, respected them, and loved them without worshiping them or taking them, and the righteous, as lords other than God, as the Christians did.

5
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:46,950
Nor to deprive them of it as the Jews deceived and denied the prophets and killed them and killed those who command justice among the people.

6
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:56,950
Secondly, Muslims mediate between what is permissible and what is forbidden, so they permit what God has made permissible and prohibit what He has forbidden

7
00:00:56,950 --> 00:01:05,950
As for the Jews, God forbade abrogation in the obligation, and due to their injustice, good things were forbidden to them

8
00:01:05,950 --> 00:01:18,980
As God Almighty said, because of injustice on the part of those who were Jews, We prohibited to them good things that were lawful for them, and they turned away from the path of God much.

9
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:27,980
As for the Christians, Jesus, peace be upon him, made lawful for them, by inspiration from God, some of what was forbidden to the Children of Israel

10
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:40,980
So they went too far and made many forbidden things permissible in obedience to their rabbis and monks, as God Almighty said about them, and they do not forbid what God has forbidden.

11
00:01:40,980 --> 00:01:48,109
He said, “They have taken their rabbis and monks as lords other than God.”

12
00:01:49,109 --> 00:02:01,109
In the names and attributes of God Almighty, Muslims described their Lord with what He described Himself with and what His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, described him with.

13
00:02:01,109 --> 00:02:12,110
They did not liken God Almighty to His creation, nor did they deny His attributes, Glory be to Him, while the Jews likened to them what they deserve from God.

14
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:24,110
He likened God to His creation, and they described Him, Glory be to Him, with poverty, the burden of hand, fatigue, and idleness. God is greatly exalted above what they say.

15
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:34,750
The Christians likened the created being to the Creator, his deity, Jesus, peace be upon him, and attributed to him creation, sustenance, and forgiveness.

16
00:02:34,750 --> 00:02:42,750
Secondly, just as the Muslim faith is a middle ground between what the Jews believe and what the Christians believe

17
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:51,819
The Muslims of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah are intermediate in terms of belief between the misguided sects in Islam

18
00:02:51,819 --> 00:03:05,819
Firstly, the Sunnis and the community are intermediate in the names and attributes of God between the defective and negated attributes and the suspicious ones, who resemble God Almighty with His creation.

19
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:20,819
They describe God Almighty with the way He described Himself and what His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, described him with, without delay, comparison, conditioning, interpretation, or distortion.

20
00:03:20,819 --> 00:03:33,909
Secondly, the Sunnis, in the chapter on destiny and will, are intermediate between the Qadariyya and the denials of destiny who say that God does not know things before they happen.

21
00:03:33,909 --> 00:03:39,909
Or he does not appreciate evil, or he denies the will of God and His creation of the actions of His servants

22
00:03:40,909 --> 00:03:54,939
The Jabriyah are those who deny the servant’s choice and will, the Sunnis, a middle ground between these two extremes. They believe in God’s complete power and will.

23
00:03:54,939 --> 00:04:01,939
And He, Glory be to Him, knows things before they happen and decrees all good and evil

24
00:04:01,939 --> 00:04:17,069
But they do not attribute to God the description of evil, Glory be to Him, because He determines it according to His complete wisdom and knowledge, and they believe that nothing falls within His kingdom, Glory be to Him, except what He wills.

25
00:04:17,069 --> 00:04:32,069
The Sunnis also affirm that the servant has power, will, and choice for which he will be held accountable, but they are all under the power, will, and choice of God, which is related to His wisdom and knowledge, Glory be to Him.

26
00:04:32,069 --> 00:04:46,550
Thirdly, the view of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah on the immoral Muslims, the people of major sins, is a middle ground between the Waidiyah Kharijites, the Mu’tazilites, and the Murji’ahs.

27
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:59,550
According to the Sunnis, they are sinners as long as they do not repent, but they have the basic principle of faith, and some of it is based on its own, and it is not complete faith

28
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:12,550
They are under the will of God. If He wills, He will punish them, and if He wills, He will forgive them. And if they enter Hell, they will not remain therein forever, and their destination will be to Paradise.

29
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:24,550
And if they repent sincerely in this world, God will accept their repentance and replace their bad deeds with good deeds, and they will become like righteous believers.

30
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:39,550
While the Kharijites consider those who commit major sins to be unbelievers, and the Mu’tazilites place them in a position between the two positions, that is, between disbelief and faith, and they share in their eternal eternity in Hell.

31
00:05:39,550 --> 00:05:46,709
But according to the Mu'tazilites, they are in a lighter place in Hell than the infidels

32
00:05:46,709 --> 00:06:03,709
As for the Murji’ah, they say that the faith of the immoral people is like the faith of the prophets, and with faith no sin or disobedience is harmful, just as obedience is not beneficial with disbelief, because faith according to them is only belief.

33
00:06:03,709 --> 00:06:27,129
Fourthly, Ahl al-Sunnah are among the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. They agree with all of them and affirm for them the merit and precedence according to what the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, established for them and what he ranked them in preference, and they do not exaggerate in regard to any of them.

34
00:06:27,129 --> 00:06:40,129
As for the Shiite Shiites, they preferred Ali, may God be pleased with him, to all the Companions, and they did not confirm the credit for except five of the Companions only, and they declared the rest of them infidels.

35
00:06:40,129 --> 00:06:50,160
Some of the Shiites exaggerated about Ali, may God be pleased with him, and raised him above the rank of the prophets, and some of them degraded him

36
00:06:50,160 --> 00:07:02,160
As for the Kharijites, they declared Ali and Othman, may God be pleased with them both, disbelievers, and made it permissible to shed their blood, and did not see any preference for the rest of the Companions over those other than them.

37
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:11,350
Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah is in the middle in all aspects of belief among all the misguided sects
