1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:06,059
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:06,059 --> 00:00:12,970
Reward is attained in both this world and the Hereafter.

3
00:00:12,970 --> 00:00:17,769
There is no independent path for achieving a good reward in the Hereafter,

4
00:00:17,769 --> 00:00:22,649
and another separate path for the well-being of life in this world.

5
00:00:22,649 --> 00:00:27,879
Rather, there is only one path through which both this world and the Hereafter are set right.

6
00:00:27,879 --> 00:00:33,359
If a person deviates from this path, both their worldly life and their Hereafter are corrupted.

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,759
This sole path is faith and God-consciousness (taqwa).

8
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:44,659
It is belief in the Last Day and the realization of the divine methodology in worldly life.

9
00:00:44,659 --> 00:00:47,020
This world is the sowing ground for the Hereafter.

10
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:52,700
There is no contradiction between cultivating worldly life in light of the methodology of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,

11
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:55,100
and [preparing for] the Last Day.

12
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:59,500
For this world is a place of action, while the Hereafter is a place of reward and reckoning.

13
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:02,539
When this truth becomes clear,

14
00:01:02,619 --> 00:01:07,500
the believer will be saved from the wretched dichotomy between this world and the Hereafter.

15
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,620
This is what is witnessed among many people,

16
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:17,140
which has only arisen from a corrupted perception of the comprehensive concept of worship in Islam.

17
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:22,900
We have come to see those who withdraw from the world and abandon its cultivation through reform,

18
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:28,780
leaving corruption to spread within it under the pretext of asceticism and devotion to the Hereafter,

19
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:31,980
and the refinement and purification of the soul.

20
00:01:32,019 --> 00:01:34,780
This is met by another deviation,

21
00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:39,219
which is becoming preoccupied and engrossed in this world and its adornments,

22
00:01:39,219 --> 00:01:42,340
as if life in it were eternal,

23
00:01:42,340 --> 00:01:45,620
until this has led to the forgetting of the Hereafter,

24
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:48,939
and heedlessness regarding it and the preparation for it.
