00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.960
The Essence of the Concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.179
Abandoning the fiqh of current realities leads the Ummah to ruin.

00:00:14.179 --> 00:00:20.179
If scholars abandon understanding the reality of their Ummah, as well as leading and caring for it,

00:00:20.179 --> 00:00:27.179
the Ummah will be ruined, relinquish its major causes, and be torn apart between two groups.

00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:31.179
The first group consists of the people of immorality and corruption,

00:00:31.179 --> 00:00:38.179
who push themselves forward—or are thrust forward—to lead the Ummah and take charge of its affairs,

00:00:38.179 --> 00:00:42.179
thereby ruining the lands and misleading the people.

00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:46.369
The second group consists of the hasty among the youth of Islamic activism,

00:00:46.369 --> 00:00:49.369
who are enthusiastic about establishing the religion,

00:00:49.369 --> 00:00:56.369
yet plunge themselves into issuing religious edicts regarding the Ummah's major crises out of mere emotion and zeal for the religion,

00:00:56.369 --> 00:00:59.369
without sound knowledge or deeply rooted fiqh,

00:00:59.369 --> 00:01:03.369
thus casting the Ummah into severe discord and great tribulation.

00:01:03.369 --> 00:01:10.370
Both groups, despite the differences in their intentions and starting points,

00:01:10.370 --> 00:01:15.370
share in bringing ruin and corruption upon the Ummah.
