00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:09,179
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

2
00:00:09,179 --> 00:00:15,179
The occurrence of an indefinite noun in the context of negation, prohibition, or a conditional clause.

3
00:00:15,859 --> 00:00:22,920
An indefinite noun in a negative context signifies generality, encompassing every individual instance of the negated category.

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
For example, in the words of Allah Almighty:

5
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,920
“O ye who believe! Whoso of you becometh a renegade from his religion, (know that in his stead) Allah will bring a people whom He loveth and who love Him, humble toward believers, stern toward disbelievers, striving in the way of Allah, and fearing not the blame of any blamer. Such is the grace of Allah which He giveth unto whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.” (5:54)

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,920
The word "blamer" appears in the indefinite form

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,920
to convey the generality of not fearing any blamer whatsoever,

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:41,049
no matter how eminent that person may be in knowledge, kinship, or authority.

9
00:00:41,049 --> 00:00:43,049
Likewise, in the words of Allah Almighty:

10
00:00:43,049 --> 00:00:50,049
“Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them, and they were mightier than these in power? Allah is not such that aught in the heavens or in the earth escapeth Him. Lo! He is the Wise, the Mighty.” (35:44)

11
00:00:50,049 --> 00:00:56,140
the indefinite word "thing," occurring in the negative context "and never was," indicates

12
00:00:56,140 --> 00:01:01,140
that nothing whatsoever in the heavens or on earth can incapacitate Allah, Glorified is He,

13
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:03,140
no matter what it may be.

14
00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:07,849
