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 --> 00:00:11,820
Reactionary.

3
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:15,820
A term coined by Communists and nationalist Ba'athists,

4
00:00:15,820 --> 00:00:17,820
And those who followed them, the secularists,

5
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:21,820
To describe those who hold fast to Islamic Sharia.

6
00:00:21,820 --> 00:00:26,820
By it, they intend to accuse them of regressing hundreds of years,

7
00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:28,820
To the time when the Qur'an was revealed,

8
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:31,820
And the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, lived,

9
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:34,820
Along with his noble Companions, may Allah be pleased with them.

10
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:38,820
So whoever follows the path of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

11
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:40,820
And his noble Companions,

12
00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:42,820
Is considered a reactionary by them.

13
00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:44,820
They use this term to disparage him,

14
00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:49,820
Implying that he wishes to take people back to previous eras,

15
00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:52,820
And that he rejects progress and modern life.

16
00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:56,920
Yet, as for following the path of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,920
And his noble Companions,

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,920
What an honorable trait that is.

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,920
It is a great honor for anyone who is characterized by it.

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,920
As for the accusation of rejecting progress and modern life,

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,920
That is a fabrication with which these liars pelt anyone who holds fast to his religion,

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,920
In order to deceive the people,

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,920
And turn them away from anyone who calls them to adhere to the limits of the Sharia.

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,920
They attempt to convince people that progress contradicts this alleged reactionism,

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,920
And that it requires liberation from the constraints of the Sharia,

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,920
Which they label as old and reactionary,

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,920
And to be unrestrained in living in the modern age,

28
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Without caution against any sins or violations of the law of Allah.

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:48,920
If we look at the state of those who apply this term to those who hold fast to their religion,

30
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,920
We find that they are the ones who have fallen into reactionism in its darkest form,

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,920
Having regressed to the Age of Ignorance and disbelief,

32
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,920
Which the Messengers came to eradicate,

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,920
And to call people to the monotheism of the Lord of the worlds.
