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

0:08 The law of refinement (al-tamhis).

0:10 As we explained in the first concept regarding social laws, they are interconnected and overlap with one another.

0:20 Indeed, the laws of trial, distinction, refinement, empowerment, and the destruction of the disbelievers,

0:27 are all laws that are inextricably linked to one another.

0:31 The first leads to the second, the second to the third, and so on.

0:37 Accordingly, the law of distinction is followed or accompanied by the law of refinement.

0:44 Refinement means cleansing, purifying, and purging.

0:49 You say, "I refined the gold with fire," meaning I removed the impurities mixed within it.

0:56 Thus, the saying of Allah the Almighty,

0:58 “And that Allah may prove those who believe, and may blight the disbelievers.” (3:141)

1:03 is to separate the believers from the hypocrites,

1:06 and to purify them themselves, cleansing them of their sins and atoning for them.

1:12 And His saying, the Almighty,

1:14 “Then, after grief, He sent down security for you. As slumber did it overcome a party of you, while (the other) party, who were anxious on their own account, thought wrongly of Allah, the thought of ignorance. They said: Have we any part in the cause? Say (O Muhammad): The cause belongeth wholly to Allah. They hide within themselves (a thought) which they reveal not unto thee, saying: Had we had any part in the cause we should not have been slain here. Say: Even though ye had been in your houses, those appointed to be slain would have gone forth to the places where they were to lie. (All this hath been) in order that Allah might try what is in your breasts and prove what is in your hearts. Allah is Aware of what is hidden in the breasts (of men).” (3:154)

1:17 is the purification of the hearts of the believers in particular,

1:20 and cleansing them of any doubt or uncertainty,

1:23 caused by the suspicions and discouragement cast by the hypocrites.

1:27 Therefore, the refinement of the believers

1:29 is their separation from the hypocrites and the disbelievers,

1:32 and their purification from the sins and transgressions that mingle with them.
