00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.609
Summary of Sunni concepts

00:00:08.609 --> 00:00:15.630
Imitation and from pre-Islamic times is imitation of infidels

00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:20.629
The greatest of them is following their opinions and theories that are contrary to God’s law

00:00:20.629 --> 00:00:23.629
And God Almighty says

00:00:23.629 --> 00:00:31.629
Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord, and do not follow any friends other than Him

00:00:31.629 --> 00:00:34.630
Little do you remember

00:00:34.630 --> 00:00:41.859
This does not mean not benefiting from their knowledge in worldly matters in a way that does not contradict Sharia law

00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:43.859
It is imitating the infidels

00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:48.859
Follow their returns, fees and social customs

00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:51.859
And celebrate their holidays

00:00:51.859 --> 00:00:57.859
The Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, forbade the nonsense of foreigners

00:00:57.859 --> 00:01:00.859
That is, speaking their language

00:01:00.859 --> 00:01:02.859
Imam Ahmed said

00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:07.859
Speaking in a language other than Arabic for no reason is hypocrisy

00:01:07.859 --> 00:01:10.920
Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said

00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:12.920
Similar in appearance

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.920
A type of affection, love, and loyalty is inherited internally

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.920
Also, love is inside

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.920
Outward similarity is inherited

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.049
This is something that is attested by sense and experience

00:01:28.049 --> 00:01:32.049
This includes imitating Westerners when shaving their beards

00:01:32.049 --> 00:01:34.049
And in hair styles

00:01:34.049 --> 00:01:38.049
And in the fashions that distract people in this worldly life

00:01:38.049 --> 00:01:42.049
It distracts them from caring about important matters

00:01:42.049 --> 00:01:45.049
And what enables them to lead the world
