00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.699
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:14.050
Religious blessings and worldly blessings.

00:00:14.050 --> 00:00:19.050
Religious blessings are greater and more sublime than worldly blessings.

00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:25.050
Indeed, they are the true blessings that endure, and whose impact remains even when all else fades.

00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:32.049
Therefore, whoever is granted a religious blessing, such as sacred knowledge or righteous deeds, ought to—

00:00:32.049 --> 00:00:36.049
—thank Allah for it, so that He may increase him in His bounty.

00:00:36.049 --> 00:00:41.049
And so that he may ward off self-admiration, which could otherwise nullify his deeds.

00:00:41.049 --> 00:00:48.079
Allah has commanded us to show gratitude after He clarified the religious blessings He bestowed upon us.

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.079
For after He reminded us of His favor by saying:

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:58.079
“Even as We have sent unto you a messenger from among you, who reciteth unto you Our revelations and causeth you to grow, and teacheth you the Scripture and wisdom, and teacheth you that which ye knew not.” (2:151)

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:02.079
“Even as We have sent unto you a messenger from among you, who reciteth unto you Our revelations and causeth you to grow, and teacheth you the Scripture and wisdom, and teacheth you that which ye knew not.” (2:151)

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.079
"And He teaches you that which you did not know."

00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:12.079
He said, "So remember Me, and I will remember you; be grateful to Me, and do not deny Me."
