00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.859
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:11.820
Reactionary.

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:15.820
A term coined by Communists and nationalist Ba'athists,

00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:17.820
And those who followed them, the secularists,

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:21.820
To describe those who hold fast to Islamic Sharia.

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:26.820
By it, they intend to accuse them of regressing hundreds of years,

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:28.820
To the time when the Qur'an was revealed,

00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:31.820
And the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, lived,

00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:34.820
Along with his noble Companions, may Allah be pleased with them.

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:38.820
So whoever follows the path of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:40.820
And his noble Companions,

00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:42.820
Is considered a reactionary by them.

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:44.820
They use this term to disparage him,

00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:49.820
Implying that he wishes to take people back to previous eras,

00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:52.820
And that he rejects progress and modern life.

00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:56.920
Yet, as for following the path of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.920
And his noble Companions,

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.920
What an honorable trait that is.

00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.920
It is a great honor for anyone who is characterized by it.

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.920
As for the accusation of rejecting progress and modern life,

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:14.920
That is a fabrication with which these liars pelt anyone who holds fast to his religion,

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:16.920
In order to deceive the people,

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.

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.920
They attempt to convince people that progress contradicts this alleged reactionism,

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.920
And that it requires liberation from the constraints of the Sharia,

00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.920
Which they label as old and reactionary,

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.920
And to be unrestrained in living in the modern age,

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.920
Without caution against any sins or violations of the law of Allah.

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,

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.920
We find that they are the ones who have fallen into reactionism in its darkest form,

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.920
Having regressed to the Age of Ignorance and disbelief,

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.920
Which the Messengers came to eradicate,

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.920
And to call people to the monotheism of the Lord of the worlds.
