Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

Islam is a universal and humanitarian religion.
0:13
Allah Almighty says: "He is nothing but a reminder to the worlds." (Qur'an 68:52)
0:18
Thus, the call of Islam knows no national borders or racism,
0:23
nor nationalism or tribalism.
0:26
It does not recognize the artificial barriers that people erect for themselves on Earth,
0:32
or that are erected for them, and they contend for them.
0:36
It is a call that divides people only on the basis of piety,
0:41
not by color or race.
0:45
Rather, it penetrates directly into their hearts, from the perspective of humanity as humanity.
0:52
“O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” (49:13)
0:58
"And We have made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another." (Qur'an 49:13)
1:03
“O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” (49:13)
1:07
"Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." (Qur'an 49:13)
1:10
And when we say "humanitarian," we mean that it is directed towards humankind
1:16
to liberate them from servitude to other humans to servitude to the Lord of humans.
1:22
As for the concept of humanity in pre-Islamic (Jahili) thought,
1:26
it is a cunning, modern, and rejected concept.
1:30
It aims to demolish the creed of loyalty and disavowal,
1:33
and the ritual of striving in the way of Allah Almighty.
1:37
For, according to them, man is man's brother;
1:41
there should be no criteria for love and hate for him.
1:45
And brotherhood should not be based on religion, faith, and disbelief,
1:49
because, according to them, this divides and destroys peace among the children of Adam.
1:56
