WEBVTT 00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.699 Summary of Sunni concepts 00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:11.699 Causes of temptation 00:00:11.699 --> 00:00:19.629 Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may God Almighty have mercy on him, sufficed with mentioning the causes of temptations and falling into them 00:00:19.629 --> 00:00:25.629 He referred it to two major reasons, under which there are many branches 00:00:25.629 --> 00:00:29.629 The two reasons are suspicions and desires 00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:32.630 He says, may God Almighty have mercy on him 00:00:32.630 --> 00:00:34.630 There are two types of temptation 00:00:34.630 --> 00:00:38.630 The temptation of doubts is the greater of the two temptations 00:00:38.630 --> 00:00:40.630 And the temptation of desires 00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:45.630 They may be combined for the slave, or he may be alone with one of them 00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:49.630 The temptation of doubts is a result of weak insight and lack of knowledge 00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:54.630 Especially if this is coupled with corruption of intent and the occurrence of passion 00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:58.630 There is a great turmoil and a great calamity 00:00:58.630 --> 00:01:01.630 So say whatever you want about misguidance with bad intentions 00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:04.629 The ruler is guided by his own desires 00:01:04.629 --> 00:01:10.629 With his weak insight and lack of knowledge of what God sent His Messenger with 00:01:10.629 --> 00:01:13.629 He is one of those whom God Almighty said about them 00:01:13.629 --> 00:01:19.629 They follow nothing but conjecture and what their souls desire 00:01:19.629 --> 00:01:23.659 This temptation leads to disbelief and hypocrisy 00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:25.659 It is the temptation of hypocrites 00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:30.659 And the temptation of the people of innovations depends on the levels of their innovations 00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:33.659 All of them were invented due to the temptation of doubts 00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:39.659 In which they suspected truth of falsehood and guidance of error 00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:44.730 The only way to escape from this temptation is to strip away the followers of the Messenger 00:01:44.730 --> 00:01:47.730 And his arbitration in the importance of religion and its glory 00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:51.730 His outward and inward beliefs and deeds 00:01:51.730 --> 00:01:54.730 His facts and laws 00:01:54.730 --> 00:01:58.760 This temptation sometimes arises from a corrupt understanding 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.760 Sometimes it is a false report 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.760 Sometimes it is an established right that is hidden from a man and he does not obtain it 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.759 Sometimes it is for a corrupt purpose and it is followed 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.759 It is caused by blindness in insight and corruption in the will 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.110 The second type of temptation 00:02:18.110 --> 00:02:20.110 The temptation of desires 00:02:20.110 --> 00:02:23.110 It is the temptation that is caused by passion 00:02:23.110 --> 00:02:26.110 It is not ignorance of the truth or suspicion of it 00:02:26.110 --> 00:02:30.110 Rather, the perpetrator of this temptation is aware of the truth 00:02:30.110 --> 00:02:33.110 But he turned away from it and preferred someone else 00:02:33.110 --> 00:02:37.110 What his heart desires and his soul desires 00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:39.180 And the root of every temptation 00:02:39.180 --> 00:02:42.180 Rather, it is prioritizing opinion over Sharia law 00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:44.180 Passion over reason 00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:47.180 The first is the origin of the temptation of doubts 00:02:47.180 --> 00:02:50.180 The second is the origin of the temptation of desires 00:02:50.180 --> 00:02:53.300 It was mentioned in a mursal hadith 00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:55.300 Some scholars have weakened it 00:02:55.300 --> 00:02:57.300 But its meaning is correct 00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:00.300 God loves critical sight 00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:02.300 When suspicions arise 00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:04.300 He loves a perfect mind 00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:06.300 When desires come 00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:07.300 So 00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:09.300 The root of all temptations 00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:11.300 Either suspicion or lust 00:03:11.300 --> 00:03:13.300 If temptations agree 00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:16.300 Lack of knowledge and ignorance of the truth 00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:18.300 Or suspicion of a corrupt interpretation 00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:20.300 Its owner fell into temptation 00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:22.300 Because of suspicion 00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:25.300 If he agrees, knowing the truth of the servant 00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:28.300 But his patience with desires is weak 00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:31.300 He fell into temptation because of lust 00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:33.620 Not suspicion 00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:36.620 The third type of causes of temptation 00:03:36.620 --> 00:03:39.620 It is a mixture of suspicion and lust 00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:41.620 That is, whoever falls into temptation 00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:43.620 He does not admit that he is impatient 00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:45.620 He was overcome by passion 00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:48.620 But he tries too hard 00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:50.620 Inference on his own whim 00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:55.620 A legal suspicion that justifies his doing what he did 00:03:55.620 --> 00:03:58.620 That is, he does not acknowledge his mistakes and whims 00:03:58.620 --> 00:04:01.620 Rather, he claims that he is right based on his suspicion 00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:05.620 From a corrupt interpretation or weak evidence 00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:09.620 Falling into temptation has other secondary reasons 00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:11.620 Including haste and haste 00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:14.620 And abandoning Istikhara and consulting 00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:18.620 And sitting with the people of the world, immorality and innovations 00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:21.620 And reading their books and articles 00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:24.620 Being absorbed in the world and relying on it 00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:27.620 And its preference for the afterlife
