A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:09
Wishing well for the Muslims.
0:12
Among the noble character traits is wishing well for the Muslims.
0:16
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:19
"None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."
0:24
Agreed upon.
0:27
Among the requirements of this love
0:29
is that one dislikes for them what he dislikes for himself,
0:32
and that the heart is purified of hatred, malice, and envy toward any of the Muslims.
0:37
It also includes desiring the unity of the Muslims,
0:40
especially the unity of the callers to Islam and those striving in the path of Allah.
0:44
This is because of the immense benefit it brings to all Muslims.
0:49
It also involves rejecting bigotry and detestable factionalism.
0:53
This applies to those among the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah
0:56
who are in agreement regarding the fundamental principles,
0:58
even if they differ on some subsidiary issues.
1:01
Disagreement in such matters should not lead to discord, division, or hostility.
1:07
As for the people of innovation and whims,
1:10
they are the ones who divide into sects,
1:13
and they are the people of division and discord.
1:15
The Ahl al-Sunnah dissociate from them and do not take them as allies, out of loyalty to their religion,
1:21
and to protect themselves from deviation and misguidance.
1:25
However, the Ahl al-Sunnah may, in times of weakness,
1:29
find it necessary to form alliances with people of innovation who are still of the Qiblah,
1:33
in order to repel a disbelieving enemy that seeks to overrun Muslim lands and erase the religion.
1:38
This is a matter of sound fiqh.
