00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.740
A Summary of the Concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:14.740
The most prominent affiliations that contradict the Islamic doctrine of loyalty and disavowal.

00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:21.440
Every affiliation upon which loyalty, disavowal, love, and support are based,

00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.440
except for the affiliation of Tawhid (monotheism) and faith,

00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:28.440
is among the affiliations of Jahiliyyah (ignorance) mentioned previously.

00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.440
And the most prominent of these affiliations

00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:39.439
are Arab nationalism, Persian ethnocentrism (Shu'ubiyyah), patriotism, humanism, and so forth.

00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.439
So, whoever adheres to any of these affiliations

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:49.439
limits his love, support, and loyalty to those who share the same affiliation,

00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:55.439
even if they are Christians, Jews, Batinis, or atheist communists.

00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.439
And conversely, he opposes those who differ with him in that affiliation,

00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.439
even if they are monotheistic Muslims.

00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.439
This is a clear misguidance, as we have explained.
