A Summary of the Concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:14,740
The most prominent affiliations that contradict the Islamic doctrine of loyalty and disavowal.

3
00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:21,440
Every affiliation upon which loyalty, disavowal, love, and support are based,

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,440
except for the affiliation of Tawhid (monotheism) and faith,

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,440
is among the affiliations of Jahiliyyah (ignorance) mentioned previously.

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,440
And the most prominent of these affiliations

7
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:39,439
are Arab nationalism, Persian ethnocentrism (Shu'ubiyyah), patriotism, humanism, and so forth.

8
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:43,439
So, whoever adheres to any of these affiliations

9
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:49,439
limits his love, support, and loyalty to those who share the same affiliation,

10
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:55,439
even if they are Christians, Jews, Batinis, or atheist communists.

11
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:59,439
And conversely, he opposes those who differ with him in that affiliation,

12
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:02,439
even if they are monotheistic Muslims.

13
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:06,439
This is a clear misguidance, as we have explained.
