00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,929
Summary of Sunni concepts

2
00:00:08,929 --> 00:00:13,929
Who has the right to practice legitimate politics and their description

3
00:00:13,929 --> 00:00:20,820
Those who have the right to practice legitimate politics are the rulers

4
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:25,820
Those whom the subjects are obligated to obey in what is good and not disobedient

5
00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:27,820
God Almighty said

6
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:34,820
O you who have believed, obey God and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you

7
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:44,820
If you dispute over anything, refer it to God and the Messenger if you believe in God and the Last Day

8
00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:47,820
That is a better and better interpretation

9
00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:49,820
And the Almighty said

10
00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:55,820
If a matter of security or fear comes to them, they announce it

11
00:00:55,820 --> 00:01:03,820
If they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, those from whom they derived it would have known it

12
00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:09,049
What is meant by the rulers in the two verses is scholars and rulers

13
00:01:09,049 --> 00:01:17,049
And those on their behalf, including judges, regional governors, Shura councils, or Sharia bodies

14
00:01:17,049 --> 00:01:21,049
And everyone who has legitimate authority over people

15
00:01:21,049 --> 00:01:28,049
Accordingly, it is misleading to attribute the meaning of guardian to contemporary tyrants

16
00:01:28,049 --> 00:01:33,049
Those who rule without God’s law and who support the enemies of God

17
00:01:33,049 --> 00:01:39,180
Just as the legitimate rulers have the right for the subjects to obey them in what is right

18
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:44,180
They have a duty to obey God and His Messenger in whatever they command

19
00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:47,180
And to rule people according to Islamic law

20
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:50,180
Ibn Taymiyyah said

21
00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:55,180
The princes and scholars have positions in which they must be obeyed

22
00:01:55,180 --> 00:02:01,180
They, too, must obey God and the Messenger in whatever they command

23
00:02:01,180 --> 00:02:06,180
On each of the shepherds, the flock, the heads, and the subordinates

24
00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:10,180
That each of them obeys God and His Messenger in his situation

25
00:02:10,180 --> 00:02:14,180
He adheres to the law of God that He has prescribed for him
