A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Security in this worldly life.
0:11
Security cannot be realized in this world,
0:15
unless people are secure regarding their five essential necessities:
0:20
religion and the Sharia,
0:22
life and intellect,
0:24
and honor and wealth.
0:26
In sum,
0:28
people cannot be secure in any of these necessities
0:32
except through the oneness of Allah, obedience to Him, and avoiding what incurs His wrath.
0:37
If this is not the case,
0:39
then the Sunnah of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,
0:41
is operative upon all who disbelieve and disobey,
0:44
by depriving them of security in this world and the Hereafter.
0:48
“Await they aught say that the angels should come unto them or thy Lord's command should come to pass? Even so did those before them. Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves,” (16:33)
0:54
The Almighty and Majestic said:
0:56
"And Allah presents an example..."
0:58
“Allah coineth a similitude: a township that dwelt secure and well content, its provision coming to it in abundance from every side, but it disbelieved in Allah's favours, so Allah made it experience the garb of dearth and fear because of what they used to do.” (16:112)
1:07
"...but it denied the favors of Allah."
1:09
“Allah coineth a similitude: a township that dwelt secure and well content, its provision coming to it in abundance from every side, but it disbelieved in Allah's favours, so Allah made it experience the garb of dearth and fear because of what they used to do.” (16:112)
1:15
The greatest example of the constancy of this Sunnah
1:19
is what we see today in the state of humanity,
1:23
whether at the level of the individual,
1:25
society, the state,
1:27
or humanity as a whole,
1:29
in terms of anxiety, wars,
1:31
fear, hunger,
1:33
injustice, and aggression
1:35
against all five essential necessities.
1:37
All of this is due to the absence of the law of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,
1:42
which, through its creed and rulings, guaranteed security and peace for people.
1:47
The Glorified said:
1:49
"Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female,
1:53
while he is a believer,
1:55
We will surely cause him to live a good life."
1:59
“Whosoever doeth right, whether male or female, and is a believer, him verily we shall quicken with good life, and We shall pay them a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do.” (16:97)
2:06
From the foregoing,
2:07
the grave crime and severe offense become clear
2:11
that is committed by the corrupters on earth
2:14
by turning people away from the truth,
2:16
spreading foolishness and deviant ideas,
2:20
or by disseminating desires
2:23
that corrupt people’s morals and honor.
2:27
Indeed, these people and their likes
2:29
are the enemies of humanity
2:31
and the true enemies of security.
2:34
They are the advocates of discord, corruption, and terrorism,
2:38
whom we must expose and unmask,
2:41
and clarify the falsehood of their claims of being concerned for people’s security
2:45
and combating terrorism.
