00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.060
The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:12.759
Comprehensiveness and perfection

00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:18.760
Religion encompasses the creedal, the devotional, and the behavioral aspects

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.760
None of these aspects are separable from the others

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.760
because it is from Allah, the Almighty, the All-Knowing, the All-Aware

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.760
The One who knows what was and what will be

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:33.759
and what is beneficial for His servants in this world and the Hereafter, so He legislates it for them

00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.759
and what is harmful to them, so He forbids it from them

00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.759
and this is in every time and place

00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.759
so it came as comprehensive for all that they need

00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.759
taking into consideration their human nature and their capacity

00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:49.759
Allah the Almighty says

00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.759
“There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.” (6:38)

00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.759
And He, Glorified, says

00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:03.759
“Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and swineflesh, and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through falling from a height, and that which hath been killed by (the goring of) horns, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which ye make lawful (by the death-stroke), and that which hath been immolated unto idols. And (forbidden is it) that ye swear by the divining arrows. This is an abomination. This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion al-Islam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin: (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (5:3)

00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.819
Islam is an integrated system

00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:11.819
its texts, directives, and laws all work in unity

00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:14.819
and it is not taken in parts and pieces

00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:19.819
and it establishes its systems to all work at the same time

00:01:19.819 --> 00:01:21.819
so they become complete and harmonious

00:01:21.819 --> 00:01:27.069
The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah
