A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:09,179 --> 00:00:12,179
Among the characteristics of those firmly grounded in knowledge:

3
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:17,730
The scholars who are firmly grounded do not argue using falsehood.

4
00:00:17,730 --> 00:00:19,730
Nor do they dispute regarding the truth.

5
00:00:19,730 --> 00:00:23,730
In compliance with the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

6
00:00:23,730 --> 00:00:27,730
"I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise

7
00:00:27,730 --> 00:00:31,730
for one who abandons disputation, even if he is in the right."

8
00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:33,729
Narrated by Abu Dawud.

9
00:00:33,729 --> 00:00:36,729
And if they differ among themselves,

10
00:00:36,729 --> 00:00:40,729
they only differ in matters where disagreement is permissible.

11
00:00:40,729 --> 00:00:45,729
Their disagreement is based upon evidence and the exercise of ijtihad regarding it.

12
00:00:45,729 --> 00:00:48,729
This is the arguing in a manner that is best.

13
00:00:48,729 --> 00:00:51,789
And it is hoped that there is mercy in such disagreement.

14
00:00:51,789 --> 00:00:57,789
As for disagreement based on falsehood for the sake of prestige, status, position, or wealth,

15
00:00:57,789 --> 00:01:01,789
it is a curse and a calamity, and there is no mercy in it.

16
00:01:01,789 --> 00:01:06,430
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
