A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
The reality of loyalty and disavowal.
0:13
Loyalty is support, love, and closeness.
0:16
And its opposite is disavowal.
0:18
Which is distance, hatred, and enmity.
0:21
And the loyalty and disavowal beloved by Allah, the Mighty and Majestic,
0:25
is alliance and enmity for His sake, Glorified is He.
0:29
So there is no love or support except for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic,
0:33
and for His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:36
and for the believers,
0:38
and for everyone whom Allah loves and for whom He loves.
0:42
And disavowal and enmity for everyone whom Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, opposes,
0:46
and hates, and distances.
0:49
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says:
0:51
“Your guardian can be only Allah; and His messenger and those who believe, who establish worship and pay the poordue, and bow down (in prayer).” (5:55)
0:56
The exclusive particle "inna ma" (only) indicates
0:59
that loyalty, love, and support must be restricted
1:03
to those mentioned in the verse.
1:05
And disavowal from others.
1:08
And the statement of monotheism, "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah),
1:12
half of it is a disavowal of polytheism and its people: "La ilaha" (There is no god),
1:16
and the other half is loyalty to monotheism and its people:
1:20
"illa Allah" (but Allah).
1:22
And the concept of loyalty and disavowal has been mentioned in the Noble Qur'an
1:26
more than three hundred and eighty times.
1:29
And this is not surprising,
1:31
as it is the methodology of all the prophets.
1:34
Their loyalty and disavowal were based on creed.
1:38
And sufficient in indicating this is the statement of Allah, the Most High:
1:42
“There is a goodly pattern for you in Abraham and those with him, when they told their folk: Lo! we are guiltless of you and all that ye worship beside Allah. We have done with you. And there hath arisen between us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only - save that which Abraham promised his father (when he said): I will ask forgiveness for thee, though I own nothing for thee from Allah - Our Lord! In Thee we put our trust, and unto Thee we turn repentant, and unto Thee is the journeying.” (60:4)
1:49
“There is a goodly pattern for you in Abraham and those with him, when they told their folk: Lo! we are guiltless of you and all that ye worship beside Allah. We have done with you. And there hath arisen between us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only - save that which Abraham promised his father (when he said): I will ask forgiveness for thee, though I own nothing for thee from Allah - Our Lord! In Thee we put our trust, and unto Thee we turn repentant, and unto Thee is the journeying.” (60:4)
1:56
"We disavow you."
1:58
“There is a goodly pattern for you in Abraham and those with him, when they told their folk: Lo! we are guiltless of you and all that ye worship beside Allah. We have done with you. And there hath arisen between us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only - save that which Abraham promised his father (when he said): I will ask forgiveness for thee, though I own nothing for thee from Allah - Our Lord! In Thee we put our trust, and unto Thee we turn repentant, and unto Thee is the journeying.” (60:4)
2:03
“There is a goodly pattern for you in Abraham and those with him, when they told their folk: Lo! we are guiltless of you and all that ye worship beside Allah. We have done with you. And there hath arisen between us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only - save that which Abraham promised his father (when he said): I will ask forgiveness for thee, though I own nothing for thee from Allah - Our Lord! In Thee we put our trust, and unto Thee we turn repentant, and unto Thee is the journeying.” (60:4)
2:06
Therefore, any call that does not stem from the creed of loyalty and disavowal
2:12
is a call that contradicts the methodology of the prophets.
