1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,859 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. 2 00:00:08,859 --> 00:00:12,859 The principle of loyalty and disavowal (al-wala’ wa-l-bara’) regarding the Batini sects. 3 00:00:12,859 --> 00:00:18,570 The Batiniyyah, including the Rafidah, the Ismailis, and the Druze. 4 00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:23,570 As well as the extremist polytheistic Sufis and their likes among the proponents of heretical innovations that constitute disbelief. 5 00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:27,570 None of these have any share in Islam. 6 00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:29,570 They are not considered part of the people of the Qiblah. 7 00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:35,570 This is due to their involvement in various forms of polytheism and disbelief that expel one from the fold of the religion. 8 00:00:35,570 --> 00:00:39,570 They invoke others besides Allah and show allegiance to the enemies of Allah. 9 00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:43,570 They claim their Imams are infallible and possess knowledge of the unseen. 10 00:00:43,570 --> 00:00:48,570 They allege that the Qur'an has been corrupted and harbor hatred and hostility toward the Ahl al-Sunnah. 11 00:00:48,570 --> 00:00:50,570 Indeed, they declare them to be disbelievers. 12 00:00:50,570 --> 00:00:58,570 Some of these sects declare the foremost predecessors among the Companions of the Messenger, peace be upon him, to be disbelievers. 13 00:00:58,570 --> 00:01:01,570 Therefore, if they are in this state, 14 00:01:01,570 --> 00:01:03,570 they are like the disbelievers. 15 00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:08,569 It is not permissible to show them loyalty, love, or support. 16 00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:13,569 Rather, the obligation regarding them is to hate them and disavow them and their polytheism. 17 00:01:13,569 --> 00:01:18,569 This does not contradict the desire to invite them to the truth and guide them. 18 00:01:18,569 --> 00:01:21,569 For if they are guided and abandon their acts of disbelief, 19 00:01:21,569 --> 00:01:23,569 they become our brothers. 20 00:01:23,569 --> 00:01:26,629 They are then entitled to the obligatory love and support. 21 00:01:26,629 --> 00:01:28,629 Someone might say, 22 00:01:28,629 --> 00:01:32,629 "They do not manifest these beliefs of disbelief." 23 00:01:32,629 --> 00:01:34,629 To him it is said: 24 00:01:34,629 --> 00:01:37,629 They manifest them in some of their books, 25 00:01:37,629 --> 00:01:39,629 and when they feel secure from punishment. 26 00:01:39,629 --> 00:01:41,629 As for when they are in a state of weakness, 27 00:01:41,629 --> 00:01:45,629 they conceal that as a form of taqiyyah (dissimulation). 28 00:01:45,629 --> 00:01:47,629 If they were to gain power in the lands of the Sunnah, 29 00:01:47,629 --> 00:01:50,629 they would then reveal their true nature. 30 00:01:50,629 --> 00:01:53,629 They would declare the disbelief of everyone who opposes them, 31 00:01:53,629 --> 00:01:55,629 wage war against them, 32 00:01:55,629 --> 00:01:58,629 and deem their blood and wealth lawful. 33 00:01:58,629 --> 00:02:02,730 Despite the clear falsehood of the beliefs of these Batiniyyah, 34 00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:04,730 and their malicious objectives, 35 00:02:04,730 --> 00:02:06,730 especially in recent years, 36 00:02:06,730 --> 00:02:09,729 in the regions of their influence and dominance, 37 00:02:09,729 --> 00:02:13,729 there are still some among the sons of the Sunnah 38 00:02:13,729 --> 00:02:16,729 who think well of them and defend them, 39 00:02:16,729 --> 00:02:18,729 and refuse to declare them disbelievers. 40 00:02:18,729 --> 00:02:20,729 They even call for rapprochement with them, 41 00:02:20,729 --> 00:02:23,729 and for aligning with them against global disbelief. 42 00:02:23,729 --> 00:02:26,759 This does not stem from anyone except one who is ignorant 43 00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:30,759 of the reality of the Batiniyyah and their false beliefs, 44 00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:32,759 or one who is heedless and naive, 45 00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:34,759 deceived by their lies and their taqiyyah, 46 00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:38,759 and their proclaimed hostility toward the Jews and the Americans. 47 00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:41,759 Even though the relationship between the Rafidah and the Christians 48 00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:43,759 has been known throughout history, 49 00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:47,759 and their alignment with them against the Ahl al-Sunnah is well-documented. 50 00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:51,759 The Rafidah have never been known to wage jihad against the Crusaders. 51 00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:53,759 In the modern era, 52 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:58,759 evidence has emerged regarding these secret relations between them. 53 00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:01,759 Some of those who defend the Rafidah 54 00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:05,759 know of their malice and hatred toward the Ahl al-Sunnah, 55 00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:08,759 yet they justify their relationship with them 56 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:10,759 by claiming these are political stances, 57 00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:12,759 not theological ones. 58 00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:14,759 To them we say: 59 00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:19,759 Politics must not be at the expense of creed, 60 00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:21,759 nor should it contradict it.
