WEBVTT 00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.859 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. 00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:12.859 The principle of loyalty and disavowal (al-wala’ wa-l-bara’) regarding the Batini sects. 00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:18.570 The Batiniyyah, including the Rafidah, the Ismailis, and the Druze. 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. 00:00:23.570 --> 00:00:27.570 None of these have any share in Islam. 00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:29.570 They are not considered part of the people of the Qiblah. 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. 00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:39.570 They invoke others besides Allah and show allegiance to the enemies of Allah. 00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:43.570 They claim their Imams are infallible and possess knowledge of the unseen. 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. 00:00:48.570 --> 00:00:50.570 Indeed, they declare them to be disbelievers. 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. 00:00:58.570 --> 00:01:01.570 Therefore, if they are in this state, 00:01:01.570 --> 00:01:03.570 they are like the disbelievers. 00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:08.569 It is not permissible to show them loyalty, love, or support. 00:01:08.569 --> 00:01:13.569 Rather, the obligation regarding them is to hate them and disavow them and their polytheism. 00:01:13.569 --> 00:01:18.569 This does not contradict the desire to invite them to the truth and guide them. 00:01:18.569 --> 00:01:21.569 For if they are guided and abandon their acts of disbelief, 00:01:21.569 --> 00:01:23.569 they become our brothers. 00:01:23.569 --> 00:01:26.629 They are then entitled to the obligatory love and support. 00:01:26.629 --> 00:01:28.629 Someone might say, 00:01:28.629 --> 00:01:32.629 "They do not manifest these beliefs of disbelief." 00:01:32.629 --> 00:01:34.629 To him it is said: 00:01:34.629 --> 00:01:37.629 They manifest them in some of their books, 00:01:37.629 --> 00:01:39.629 and when they feel secure from punishment. 00:01:39.629 --> 00:01:41.629 As for when they are in a state of weakness, 00:01:41.629 --> 00:01:45.629 they conceal that as a form of taqiyyah (dissimulation). 00:01:45.629 --> 00:01:47.629 If they were to gain power in the lands of the Sunnah, 00:01:47.629 --> 00:01:50.629 they would then reveal their true nature. 00:01:50.629 --> 00:01:53.629 They would declare the disbelief of everyone who opposes them, 00:01:53.629 --> 00:01:55.629 wage war against them, 00:01:55.629 --> 00:01:58.629 and deem their blood and wealth lawful. 00:01:58.629 --> 00:02:02.730 Despite the clear falsehood of the beliefs of these Batiniyyah, 00:02:02.730 --> 00:02:04.730 and their malicious objectives, 00:02:04.730 --> 00:02:06.730 especially in recent years, 00:02:06.730 --> 00:02:09.729 in the regions of their influence and dominance, 00:02:09.729 --> 00:02:13.729 there are still some among the sons of the Sunnah 00:02:13.729 --> 00:02:16.729 who think well of them and defend them, 00:02:16.729 --> 00:02:18.729 and refuse to declare them disbelievers. 00:02:18.729 --> 00:02:20.729 They even call for rapprochement with them, 00:02:20.729 --> 00:02:23.729 and for aligning with them against global disbelief. 00:02:23.729 --> 00:02:26.759 This does not stem from anyone except one who is ignorant 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.759 of the reality of the Batiniyyah and their false beliefs, 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.759 or one who is heedless and naive, 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.759 deceived by their lies and their taqiyyah, 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.759 and their proclaimed hostility toward the Jews and the Americans. 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.759 Even though the relationship between the Rafidah and the Christians 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.759 has been known throughout history, 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.759 and their alignment with them against the Ahl al-Sunnah is well-documented. 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.759 The Rafidah have never been known to wage jihad against the Crusaders. 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.759 In the modern era, 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.759 evidence has emerged regarding these secret relations between them. 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.759 Some of those who defend the Rafidah 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.759 know of their malice and hatred toward the Ahl al-Sunnah, 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.759 yet they justify their relationship with them 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.759 by claiming these are political stances, 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:12.759 not theological ones. 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.759 To them we say: 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.759 Politics must not be at the expense of creed, 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.759 nor should it contradict it.
