00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.769
A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.769 --> 00:00:13.300
The constancy and regularity of the Sunnah.

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:19.300
Both cosmic and social Sunnah share constancy and regularity.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:22.300
In terms of origin and generality.

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:25.300
However, they differ in the following aspects:

00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:26.300
Firstly,

00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:30.300
Social Sunnah are consistently regular.

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.299
They do not change or fail.

00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:37.299
When their conditions are met and their impediments are removed.

00:00:37.299 --> 00:00:39.299
And these are what Allah Almighty says about them:

00:00:39.299 --> 00:00:43.299
“(Such was Our) method in the case of those whom We sent before thee (to mankind), and thou wilt not find for Our method aught of power to change.” (17:77)

00:00:43.299 --> 00:00:45.299
As for cosmic Sunnah,

00:00:45.299 --> 00:00:47.299
they may be breached with Allah Almighty's permission.

00:00:47.299 --> 00:00:51.299
Whether by way of miracle or sign.

00:00:51.299 --> 00:00:54.299
Just as Allah prevented fire from burning.

00:00:54.299 --> 00:00:57.299
for the sake of His prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him.

00:00:57.299 --> 00:00:59.299
Allah Almighty says:

00:00:59.299 --> 00:01:05.299
“We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,” (21:69)

00:01:05.299 --> 00:01:08.299
Or by way of karamah (honor) for Allah's awliya' (beloved servants).

00:01:08.299 --> 00:01:13.299
Just as Allah provided sustenance for Maryam, peace be upon her, in the mihrab.

00:01:13.299 --> 00:01:15.299
Allah Almighty says:

00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:21.299
“And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37)

00:01:21.299 --> 00:01:24.299
He said, "O Maryam, from where is this for you?"

00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:27.299
“And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37)

00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:32.299
“And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37)

00:01:32.299 --> 00:01:35.299
Or even by way of trial and test.

00:01:35.299 --> 00:01:40.430
As will occur at the hands of the Dajjal at the end of time.

00:01:40.430 --> 00:01:41.430
Secondly,

00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:45.430
Cosmic Sunnah are evident, clear, and regulated.

00:01:45.430 --> 00:01:47.430
Making them easy to recognize.

00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:50.430
Such as knowing that fire burns.

00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:54.430
And that gravity pulls things from top to bottom.

00:01:54.430 --> 00:01:56.430
And so on.

00:01:56.430 --> 00:02:00.430
Whereas social Sunnah cannot be easily measured.

00:02:00.430 --> 00:02:03.430
And they are hidden from many people.

00:02:03.430 --> 00:02:06.430
Especially those who do not believe in the Qur'an.

00:02:06.430 --> 00:02:11.430
And those who do not believe in Allah Almighty's management of affairs.

00:02:11.430 --> 00:02:14.430
According to His knowledge, will, and wisdom.

00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:19.430
They are only perceived through contemplation and reflection on Allah's recited verses.

00:02:19.430 --> 00:02:22.430
And by measuring people's situations against them.

00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:28.430
To understand how His Sunnah has justly taken effect upon His allies and His enemies.

00:02:28.430 --> 00:02:33.620
A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.
