A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:09,019 --> 00:00:14,019
The sources for both Shari'ah-based governance and secular governance.

3
00:00:14,019 --> 00:00:17,760
For governance to be considered Shari'ah-based,

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,760
its sources and foundations must be derived exclusively from the sources of Islamic legislation itself.

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,760
The primary source is the revealed text of the Qur'an and the Sunnah.

6
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,760
Then, the consensus of the scholars of the Ummah.

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,759
Then, ijtihad, which encompasses analogy (qiyas) and considerations of public interest (masalih mursala).

8
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:39,789
As for contemporary secular governance,

9
00:00:39,789 --> 00:00:42,789
its primary source is human thought,

10
00:00:42,789 --> 00:00:46,789
which is inseparable from ignorance, injustice, and caprice.

11
00:00:46,789 --> 00:00:51,789
It is fundamentally based on the separation of religion from the state and the lives of the people.

12
00:00:51,789 --> 00:00:55,789
Thus, Shari'ah-based governance is a religious obligation,

13
00:00:55,789 --> 00:00:59,789
whereas contemporary governance is a man-made imposition.
