00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,419
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,419 --> 00:00:14,380
Every messenger and prophet follows a scripture.

3
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:18,379
Among the components of belief in the scriptures that one must know:

4
00:00:18,379 --> 00:00:23,379
That there is no messenger or prophet who does not follow a scripture,

5
00:00:23,379 --> 00:00:28,379
Whether it was revealed to him directly or was the scripture of a messenger who preceded him.

6
00:00:28,379 --> 00:00:30,440
Allah the Exalted said:

7
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,439
“We verily sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Scripture and the Balance, that mankind may observe right measure; and He revealed iron, wherein is mighty power and (many) uses for mankind, and that Allah may know him who helpeth Him and His messengers, though unseen. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty.” (57:25)

8
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:36,439
“We verily sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Scripture and the Balance, that mankind may observe right measure; and He revealed iron, wherein is mighty power and (many) uses for mankind, and that Allah may know him who helpeth Him and His messengers, though unseen. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty.” (57:25)

9
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:39,439
So that people may uphold justice.

10
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:41,469
And He the Exalted said:

11
00:00:41,469 --> 00:00:45,469
“Mankind were one community, and Allah sent (unto them) prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed. And only those unto whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had come unto them, through hatred one of another. And Allah by His Will guided those who believe unto the truth of that concerning which they differed. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.” (2:213)

12
00:00:45,469 --> 00:00:50,469
“Mankind were one community, and Allah sent (unto them) prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed. And only those unto whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had come unto them, through hatred one of another. And Allah by His Will guided those who believe unto the truth of that concerning which they differed. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.” (2:213)

13
00:00:50,469 --> 00:00:52,469
“Mankind were one community, and Allah sent (unto them) prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed. And only those unto whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had come unto them, through hatred one of another. And Allah by His Will guided those who believe unto the truth of that concerning which they differed. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.” (2:213)

14
00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:56,469
“Mankind were one community, and Allah sent (unto them) prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed. And only those unto whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had come unto them, through hatred one of another. And Allah by His Will guided those who believe unto the truth of that concerning which they differed. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.” (2:213)

15
00:00:56,469 --> 00:00:59,570
Thus, the rulings and legislations contained within the scriptures

16
00:00:59,570 --> 00:01:02,570
Are what people ought to be governed by,

17
00:01:02,570 --> 00:01:05,569
Each in their own era, in accordance with the scripture of their prophet,

18
00:01:05,569 --> 00:01:09,569
And they must not deviate from it toward anything else,

19
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:13,569
For otherwise, it would be judgment by other than what Allah has revealed.

20
00:01:13,569 --> 00:01:15,569
And Allah the Exalted has said:

21
00:01:15,569 --> 00:01:22,569
“Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light, by which the prophets who surrendered (unto Allah) judged the Jews, and the rabbis and the priests (judged) by such of Allah's Scripture as they were bidden to observe, and thereunto were they witnesses. So fear not mankind, but fear Me. And My revelations for a little gain. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers.” (5:44)
