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

0:08 The Mosque of Dirar (the Mosque of Harm).

0:10 Allah, glory be to Him, described it and its objectives.

0:14 “And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107)

0:21 “And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107)

0:27 Thus, the Mosque of Dirar is linked to the hypocrites who raise Islamic banners.

0:34 They establish places or institutions for it, the outward appearance of which is calling to Islam.

0:40 Yet their inner reality is war, plotting against the religion and its people, and sowing division among the believers.

0:46 All of this is to cause harm to the Muslims.

0:49 That is why it was named Dirar (Harm).

0:52 The hypocrites built it during the time of the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

0:57 Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, informed him of the hypocrites' objective in building it.

1:02 So the Messenger, peace be upon him, demolished it and burned it down.

1:07 A mosque like this recurs in every place and time where hypocrites are present.

1:14 It takes on various forms and guises.

1:17 What unites them is that, from within, plots are hatched against the religion and its people.

1:22 Conspiracies are held within it to wage war against the Muslims and to ally with the disbelievers.

1:28 And to expose the vulnerabilities of the Muslims to them.

1:31 Among these forms are those conferences held by tyrannical regimes in the name of Islam.

1:38 And the celebration of its occasions.

1:41 Among them are certain institutions and research centers.

1:44 That raise Islamic banners and claim charitable, relief-oriented motives.

1:50 Such centers must be exposed, and people must be warned against being deceived by them.

1:57 If the Muslims possess authority and power, it is mandatory to demolish and remove them.

2:03 We have an example in the exposure of the Mosque of Dirar during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

2:10 This is one of the types of jihad against the hypocrites and struggling against them.
