00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.470
A summary of the core concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:09.470 --> 00:00:11.970
Ambiguities in the Qur'an.

00:00:11.970 --> 00:00:17.089
Whatever the Qur'an leaves unspecified and the Sunnah does not clarify,

00:00:17.089 --> 00:00:20.089
there is no benefit in seeking to determine or specify.

00:00:20.089 --> 00:00:26.089
Rather, doing so is an act of unnecessary overburdening and delving without knowledge into matters of no avail,

00:00:26.089 --> 00:00:31.089
yielding nothing but mental confusion, distraction from the primary purpose,

00:00:31.089 --> 00:00:35.090
and wandering lost in a desert of illusions and conjectures.

00:00:35.090 --> 00:00:40.590
Indeed, it is considered part of the whisperings of Satan and speaking about Allah without knowledge.

00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:45.090
Allah—Exalted is He—warns against this, saying:

00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:48.590
"And do not follow the footsteps of Satan.

00:00:48.590 --> 00:00:52.590
Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."

00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:57.590
“He enjoineth upon you only the evil and the foul, and that ye should tell concerning Allah that which ye know not.” (2:169)

00:00:57.590 --> 00:01:02.090
"And that you should say about Allah that which you do not know."

00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:06.799
