The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:08,699 --> 00:00:11,699
Other meanings of jihad

3
00:00:11,699 --> 00:00:17,570
There are two other meanings of jihad besides this primary one.

4
00:00:17,570 --> 00:00:20,570
Even though they pave the way for it.

5
00:00:20,570 --> 00:00:24,570
And they are like a prelude to fighting.

6
00:00:24,570 --> 00:00:27,570
First: striving against the self and Satan.

7
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:30,570
This is a form of jihad.

8
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:32,570
It paves the way for jihad against the disbelievers.

9
00:00:32,570 --> 00:00:35,570
And it is not waived for any Muslim.

10
00:00:35,570 --> 00:00:38,570
Second: jihad of the heart.

11
00:00:38,570 --> 00:00:41,570
This is dissociation from disbelief and its people.

12
00:00:41,570 --> 00:00:43,570
And hating them and lying in wait for them.

13
00:00:43,570 --> 00:00:46,570
And the self's contemplation of invading them.

14
00:00:46,570 --> 00:00:49,570
As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

15
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:53,570
"Whoever dies without having fought, and without having contemplated fighting in his heart,

16
00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:57,600
dies on a branch of hypocrisy."

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,700
Narrated by Muslim.

18
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:01,700
And based on this,

19
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:03,700
the type of jihad is an individual obligation.

20
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:05,700
Either with the heart,

21
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:07,700
or with the tongue,

22
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:08,700
or with wealth,

23
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:10,700
or with the hand.

24
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:15,700
So every Muslim must strive in one of these ways.

25
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:18,700
"Go forth, whether light or heavy."

26
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:23,700
“Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew.” (9:41)

27
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:28,700
"That is better for you, if you should know."

28
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:30,700
Allah the Almighty says:

29
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:34,700
“As for those who strive in Us, We surely guide them to Our paths, and lo! Allah is with the good.” (29:69)

30
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:38,760
So Allah, glorified is He, linked guidance to jihad.

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,760
Thus, the most complete in guidance are the greatest in jihad.

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,760
And the most obligatory jihad is striving against the self.

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:51,760
And striving against desires, striving against Satan, and striving against the world.

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,760
So whoever strives against these four for the sake of Allah,

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,760
Allah will guide him to the paths of His pleasure,

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,760
leading to His Paradise.

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,760
And whoever abandons jihad misses out on guidance,

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,760
to the extent that he neglects jihad.

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,759
And one cannot be enabled to fight his enemy outwardly

40
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:12,759
except by one who has fought these enemies inwardly.

41
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:16,759
So whoever triumphs over them will triumph over his enemy.

42
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:20,759
And whoever is triumphed over by them, his enemy will triumph over him.

43
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:25,460
The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah
