0:00 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

0:08 Connecting worldly sciences to the remembrance of the Creator of the universe.

0:12 He makes it an act of worship for the sake of Allah.

0:15 If the worldly sciences that investigate the universe were to be connected

0:20 And within His laws and His Sunnah.

0:23 And in his strengths and his resources.

0:25 And in its secrets and its latent potentials

0:28 If all these branches of knowledge were connected to the remembrance of the Creator of the universe.

0:32 And a sense of His majesty, His greatness, His knowledge, and His power.

0:37 And His wisdom and His mercy.

0:39 It would immediately become an act of worship to the Creator of the universe.

0:43 And life would be set aright through these sciences.

0:46 And I turned my heart toward Allah, the Exalted.

0:49 Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, said:

0:51 Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, there are signs.

0:58 “Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for people who have sense.” (2:164)

1:03 “Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for people who have sense.” (2:164)

1:07 Through it, He brought the earth to life after it had been dead.

1:10 And He dispersed therein every kind of living creature.

1:14 “Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for people who have sense.” (2:164)

1:20 ...are signs for a people who use their reason.

1:25 And in the final verses of Surah Al 'Imran

1:28 Which resembles the previous verse.

1:31 Allah the Exalted then said:

1:34 “Such as remember Allah, standing, sitting, and reclining, and consider the creation of the heavens and the earth, (and say): Our Lord! Thou createdst not this in vain. Glory be to Thee! Preserve us from the doom of Fire.” (3:191)

1:40 “Such as remember Allah, standing, sitting, and reclining, and consider the creation of the heavens and the earth, (and say): Our Lord! Thou createdst not this in vain. Glory be to Thee! Preserve us from the doom of Fire.” (3:191)

1:44 “Such as remember Allah, standing, sitting, and reclining, and consider the creation of the heavens and the earth, (and say): Our Lord! Thou createdst not this in vain. Glory be to Thee! Preserve us from the doom of Fire.” (3:191)

1:47 “Such as remember Allah, standing, sitting, and reclining, and consider the creation of the heavens and the earth, (and say): Our Lord! Thou createdst not this in vain. Glory be to Thee! Preserve us from the doom of Fire.” (3:191)

1:51 However, the materialistic, disbelieving orientation

1:54 It severs the connection between the universe and its Creator.

1:57 For this reason, knowledge often undergoes a transformation.

2:01 It leads to a curse and a blight that destroys human life.
