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

2
00:00:08,669 --> 00:00:11,669
Reliance upon Allah (tawakkul) is of two types.

3
00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:19,629
The first is the servant’s reliance upon Allah to fulfill his worldly needs and interests.

4
00:00:19,629 --> 00:00:22,629
Or to avert the hardships and calamities that befall him.

5
00:00:22,629 --> 00:00:24,629
This is a praiseworthy form of reliance.

6
00:00:24,629 --> 00:00:31,629
Through it, Allah grants the servant his desires by His permission, provided they are permissible.

7
00:00:31,629 --> 00:00:35,630
However, there is a form of reliance that is superior and higher in rank than this.

8
00:00:35,630 --> 00:00:37,630
The second type of reliance.

9
00:00:37,630 --> 00:00:40,630
It contains all goodness and virtue.

10
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:41,890
The second type:

11
00:00:41,890 --> 00:00:46,890
Reliance upon Allah in matters He has commanded, loves, and is pleased with.

12
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:49,890
Such as faith, piety, and certainty.

13
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:53,890
And striving in His path and calling to His religion.

14
00:00:53,890 --> 00:00:55,890
And other matters of this nature.

15
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:59,890
This is the reliance of the prophets and the elite among the believers.

16
00:00:59,890 --> 00:01:04,890
It is, as we have previously stated, the better of the two types and the one with the most far-reaching benefit.

17
00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:11,049
It is a wonderful truth that whoever strives to realize the second type of reliance,

18
00:01:11,049 --> 00:01:15,049
Allah will suffice him in the concerns of the first type.
