00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.769
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.769 --> 00:00:11.919
Immorality (fujur).

00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:13.919
The linguistic root of the term fujur.

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.919
It denotes opening up and bursting forth.

00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:17.920
From this comes the term for the break of dawn (fajr).

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.109
And the term for an explosion (infijar).

00:00:20.109 --> 00:00:22.109
As for fujur in the context of Islamic law:

00:00:22.109 --> 00:00:24.109
It is the act of opening up and bursting forth into acts of disobedience,

00:00:24.109 --> 00:00:27.109
without any concern for their consequences.

00:00:27.109 --> 00:00:29.109
Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:29.109 --> 00:00:31.109
"Rather, man wishes

00:00:31.109 --> 00:00:33.109
to continue in his wickedness."

00:00:33.109 --> 00:00:35.109
Meaning, he wishes to proceed

00:00:35.109 --> 00:00:37.109
forward in acts of disobedience to Allah the Exalted,

00:00:37.109 --> 00:00:39.109
with nothing to restrain him

00:00:39.109 --> 00:00:41.240
from them.

00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.240
Thus, the immoral person (fajir)

00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.240
is one who transgresses against his own soul

00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.240
through acts of disobedience and by deviating

00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.240
from the obedience of Allah,

00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.240
indifferent to the harms of that

00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.340
and its consequences.

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:55.340
In general terms,

00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:57.340
fujur is the opposite of righteousness (birr).

00:00:57.340 --> 00:00:59.340
It is a comprehensive term for every

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:01.340
evil and every inclination

00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:03.340
and rush toward acts of disobedience.

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:05.340
Among its signs are:

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:07.340
deviation from the law of Allah,

00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:09.340
treating His teachings lightly,

00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:11.340
and a lack of concern

00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:13.340
for the consequences of sins,

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:15.340
as well as frequent lying

00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:17.340
and fabrication.

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:19.340
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:21.340
"Indeed, lying leads

00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:23.340
to immorality (fujur)."

00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:25.459
Agreed upon.

00:01:25.459 --> 00:01:27.459
Falling into immorality

00:01:27.459 --> 00:01:29.459
and persisting in it.

00:01:29.459 --> 00:01:31.459
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
