00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.830
A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.830 --> 00:00:11.980
The Qarmatians.

00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:14.980
They are one of the Batiniyya (esoteric) Shia sects.

00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:16.980
They branched off from the Isma'ilis.

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:20.980
And they established their state in eastern Arabia.

00:00:20.980 --> 00:00:26.050
They blocked the path of the pilgrims during Hajj and killed them.

00:00:26.050 --> 00:00:29.050
And they stole the Black Stone from the Ka'bah.

00:00:29.050 --> 00:00:31.050
And they transported it to the land of Hajar.

00:00:31.050 --> 00:00:33.049
Al-Ahsa' currently.

00:00:33.049 --> 00:00:36.049
And it remained there for 22 years.

00:00:36.049 --> 00:00:41.049
During which Hajj was suspended out of fear of them and their blocking of the pilgrims' path.

00:00:41.049 --> 00:00:44.049
Then they returned it to the Ka'bah.

00:00:44.049 --> 00:00:46.049
And they resumed the Hajj season.

00:00:46.049 --> 00:00:51.049
It is said they did this after a peace treaty and agreement with the Abbasid Caliphate.

00:00:51.049 --> 00:00:56.049
In exchange for them relinquishing the lands under their control.

00:00:56.049 --> 00:01:02.049
And it is said they did this when threatened by the Fatimid Ubaydi Imam.

00:01:02.049 --> 00:01:07.560
The Qarmatians ruled over most of the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant.

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.560
This was during the weakness of the Abbasid Caliphate.

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.560
They trace their lineage to Ibn Qarmat, the Batiniyya Shia.

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:20.560
Named Hamdan Qarmat Ibn al-Ash'ath al-Baqqar.

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.560
May Allah give him what he deserves.

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.780
Among their most extreme principles of disbelief is:

00:01:26.780 --> 00:01:28.780
Deifying others besides Allah, the Exalted.

00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:32.780
And attributing infallibility to their Imams.

00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:36.780
And they are characterized by their reviling of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them.

00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:40.780
And they hold blasphemous beliefs about Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:43.780
Regarding His names, attributes, and actions.

00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:47.780
Allah is far above that, a great transcendence.
