00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,859
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,859 --> 00:00:14,859
The current reality of the Muslims and the confusion regarding the victory of the believers.

3
00:00:14,859 --> 00:00:21,539
The current state of the Muslims, characterized by defeat and humiliation,

4
00:00:21,539 --> 00:00:25,539
And the extent of the dominance and tyranny reached by the disbelievers,

5
00:00:25,539 --> 00:00:29,539
Have led to confusion in the minds of some,

6
00:00:29,539 --> 00:00:33,539
And despair regarding the victory of the believers in this worldly life.

7
00:00:33,539 --> 00:00:36,539
This is a severe flaw in understanding,

8
00:00:36,539 --> 00:00:40,539
And a definite failure to grasp the established laws of Allah.

9
00:00:40,539 --> 00:00:43,539
It is also an ignorance of the reality of the names of Allah the Exalted:

10
00:00:43,539 --> 00:00:45,539
The All-Wise, the All-Knowing,

11
00:00:45,539 --> 00:00:47,539
The All-Aware, the All-Powerful,

12
00:00:47,539 --> 00:00:49,539
The Most Merciful, the Most Subtle.

13
00:00:49,539 --> 00:00:51,539
The word of Allah the Exalted:

14
00:00:51,539 --> 00:00:56,539
“Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.” (4:141)

15
00:00:56,539 --> 00:00:58,539
Refutes this understanding.

16
00:00:58,539 --> 00:01:03,570
It is incorrect to claim that the verse refers only to the Hereafter,

17
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:06,569
Or to allege that the disbelievers possess this world,

18
00:01:06,569 --> 00:01:09,569
While the believers possess only the Hereafter,

19
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:11,569
Because Allah the Exalted says:

20
00:01:11,569 --> 00:01:20,569
“Lo! We verily do help Our messengers, and those who believe, in the life of the world and on the day when the witnesses arise,” (40:51)

21
00:01:20,569 --> 00:01:24,569
Thus, He decreed their victory in both this world and the Hereafter.

22
00:01:24,569 --> 00:01:28,629
However, one must realize that the victory of the believers is realized

23
00:01:28,629 --> 00:01:32,629
In accordance with the concepts established previously.

24
00:01:32,629 --> 00:01:36,629
In light of this, one must also understand the saying of Allah the Exalted:

25
00:01:36,629 --> 00:01:41,629
“Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.” (4:141)

26
00:01:41,629 --> 00:01:46,629
Allah, glory be to Him, has not granted the disbelievers a way over the believers,

27
00:01:46,629 --> 00:01:50,629
But it is the Muslims themselves who have caused this,

28
00:01:50,629 --> 00:01:53,629
By violating the conditions of victory and empowerment.

29
00:01:53,629 --> 00:02:00,730
It must be firmly believed that this dominance by the disbelievers is partial and temporary;

30
00:02:00,730 --> 00:02:03,730
It will neither stabilize nor endure.

31
00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:11,729
The believers need only trust in their Lord, examine themselves, and acknowledge their own shortcomings in faith.

32
00:02:11,729 --> 00:02:17,729
Then, they must strive earnestly to achieve true faith as previously described.

33
00:02:17,729 --> 00:02:25,759
At that point, the certain law of Allah will be fulfilled, victory will be achieved, and defeat and humiliation will vanish.
