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

0:08 Honor and humiliation, and the criteria for them.

0:13 The divine criterion for honor and humiliation, and the understanding thereof, differs from the criteria of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah).

0:20 For while the divine criterion is established upon faith and piety,

0:26 whoever is most pious toward Allah is the most honored in the sight of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.

0:31 You find that in the human criteria of the Jahiliyyah, it is based on race, land, wealth, status, and lineage.

0:40 For the honored person, in their view, is the one with the most wealth and children, and the best lineage and status.

0:47 Allah, the Exalted, said regarding His just criterion:

0:50 “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)

0:56 "And We made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another."

1:01 “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)

1:08 And He, the Glorified, said regarding the criteria of the Jahiliyyah:

1:12 “And they say: We are more (than you) in wealth and children. We are not the punished!” (34:35)

1:18 And He spoke of the Children of Israel who requested a king to fight alongside them against their enemies:

1:25 “Their Prophet said unto them: Lo! Allah hath raised up Saul to be a king for you. They said: How can he have kingdom over us when we are more deserving of the kingdom than he is, since he hath not been given wealth enough? He said: Lo! Allah hath chosen him above you, and hath increased him abundantly in wisdom and stature. Allah bestoweth His Sovereignty on whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.” (2:247)

1:31 "And he has not been given an abundance of wealth."

1:34 And He, the Glorified, said: "And it is not your wealth, nor your children, that bring you nearer to Us in position."

1:43 “And it is not your wealth nor your children that will bring you near unto Us, but he who believeth and doeth good (he draweth near). As for such, theirs will be twofold reward for what they did and they will dwell secure in lofty halls.” (34:37)

1:46 “And it is not your wealth nor your children that will bring you near unto Us, but he who believeth and doeth good (he draweth near). As for such, theirs will be twofold reward for what they did and they will dwell secure in lofty halls.” (34:37)

1:51 “And it is not your wealth nor your children that will bring you near unto Us, but he who believeth and doeth good (he draweth near). As for such, theirs will be twofold reward for what they did and they will dwell secure in lofty halls.” (34:37)
