00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,769
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,769 --> 00:00:11,919
Immorality (fujur).

3
00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:13,919
The linguistic root of the term fujur.

4
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:15,919
It denotes opening up and bursting forth.

5
00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:17,920
From this comes the term for the break of dawn (fajr).

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,109
And the term for an explosion (infijar).

7
00:00:20,109 --> 00:00:22,109
As for fujur in the context of Islamic law:

8
00:00:22,109 --> 00:00:24,109
It is the act of opening up and bursting forth into acts of disobedience,

9
00:00:24,109 --> 00:00:27,109
without any concern for their consequences.

10
00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:29,109
Allah the Exalted says:

11
00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:31,109
"Rather, man wishes

12
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:33,109
to continue in his wickedness."

13
00:00:33,109 --> 00:00:35,109
Meaning, he wishes to proceed

14
00:00:35,109 --> 00:00:37,109
forward in acts of disobedience to Allah the Exalted,

15
00:00:37,109 --> 00:00:39,109
with nothing to restrain him

16
00:00:39,109 --> 00:00:41,240
from them.

17
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,240
Thus, the immoral person (fajir)

18
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,240
is one who transgresses against his own soul

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,240
through acts of disobedience and by deviating

20
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,240
from the obedience of Allah,

21
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,240
indifferent to the harms of that

22
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,340
and its consequences.

23
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:55,340
In general terms,

24
00:00:55,340 --> 00:00:57,340
fujur is the opposite of righteousness (birr).

25
00:00:57,340 --> 00:00:59,340
It is a comprehensive term for every

26
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:01,340
evil and every inclination

27
00:01:01,340 --> 00:01:03,340
and rush toward acts of disobedience.

28
00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:05,340
Among its signs are:

29
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:07,340
deviation from the law of Allah,

30
00:01:07,340 --> 00:01:09,340
treating His teachings lightly,

31
00:01:09,340 --> 00:01:11,340
and a lack of concern

32
00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:13,340
for the consequences of sins,

33
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:15,340
as well as frequent lying

34
00:01:15,340 --> 00:01:17,340
and fabrication.

35
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:19,340
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

36
00:01:19,340 --> 00:01:21,340
"Indeed, lying leads

37
00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:23,340
to immorality (fujur)."

38
00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:25,459
Agreed upon.

39
00:01:25,459 --> 00:01:27,459
Falling into immorality

40
00:01:27,459 --> 00:01:29,459
and persisting in it.
