00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.089
The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.089 --> 00:00:13.699
Justice and balance in this religion

00:00:13.699 --> 00:00:17.699
And this is one of the greatest and most noble characteristics of this religion.

00:00:17.699 --> 00:00:20.699
For it does not let one aspect overwhelm another.

00:00:20.699 --> 00:00:23.699
Rather, it is balanced, just, and the best choice.

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:28.699
Whoever adopts it, their life will be straightened on the scale of justice.

00:00:28.699 --> 00:00:30.699
So there is no extremism nor negligence.

00:00:30.699 --> 00:00:34.700
Rather, it is moderate in all its rituals and laws.

00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:36.700
Allah the Almighty says:

00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:40.700
“Thus We have appointed you a middle nation, that ye may be witnesses against mankind, and that the messenger may be a witness against you. And We appointed the qiblah which ye formerly observed only that We might know him who followeth the messenger, from him who turneth on his heels. In truth it was a hard (test) save for those whom Allah guided. But it was not Allah's purpose that your faith should be in vain, for Allah is Full of Pity, Merciful toward mankind.” (2:143)

00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:42.700
And He, Glorified, says:

00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:47.700
“Allah it is Who hath revealed the Scripture with truth, and the Balance. How canst thou know? It may be that the Hour is nigh.” (42:17)

00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:49.700
And Allah the Almighty says:

00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:51.700
"And He set the balance."

00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:54.700
And with this, and its other characteristics,

00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:58.700
it rises and ascends to the pinnacle in conception and morals.

00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:04.700
Meanwhile, man-made, overt methodologies descend and sink to the bottom,

00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:08.700
and their flaws, contradictions, and corruption become apparent.

00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:14.700
This is because they are severed from the Source, who is free from ignorance, injustice, and caprice,

00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:16.700
the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:20.730
“Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware.” (67:14)
