A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Examples of how the United Nations Charter contradicts the law of Allah.
0:15
First, the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:
0:21
That the highest aspiration of all mankind
0:24
Is the emergence of a world in which the individual enjoys freedom of speech and belief.
0:30
This statement cannot be accepted in an absolute sense,
0:34
Because it thereby establishes the freedom to be an atheist,
0:38
And prevents the striving against apostates,
0:41
And the terrifying of the disbelievers who oppose the call of Allah the Exalted.
0:47
Second, Article Two states:
0:51
That every human being is entitled to all rights and freedoms without distinction,
0:57
Such as distinction based on religion.
1:00
Allah, glory be to Him, has distinguished between the believers and the disbelievers,
1:04
As the Almighty said:
1:06
“He it is Who created you, but one of you is a disbeliever and one of you is a believer, and Allah is Seer of what ye do.” (64:2)
1:12
And He, glory be to Him, did not make the disbeliever equal to the believer in every respect;
1:16
Rather, He differentiated between them in numerous matters.
1:20
For instance, it is not permissible to appoint a disbeliever as an authority over a Muslim,
1:24
As indicated by the general implication of the words of Allah the Exalted:
1:27
“Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.” (4:141)
1:32
Furthermore, there is no inheritance between believers and disbelievers,
1:36
As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:39
"A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever, nor does a disbeliever inherit from a Muslim."
1:44
Agreed upon.
1:46
Whoever reviews the rulings regarding the Ahl al-Dhimmah (protected non-Muslims) in Islamic fiqh
1:50
Will recognize the difference between the rights of a Muslim and the rights of a disbeliever.
1:55
Third:
1:56
Article Eighteen states:
1:59
That every individual has the right to change their belief.
2:02
However, it is not permissible for a Muslim to apostatize from their religion,
2:06
As the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
2:09
"Whoever changes his religion, kill him."
2:12
Narrated by al-Bukhari.
2:14
The fighting of apostates is well-known in Islamic history,
2:18
Just as Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, did,
2:22
When he fought those who withheld zakat after the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
2:28
In Islamic fiqh, there is an entire chapter entitled:
2:32
"The Rulings on Apostates."
2:35
Fourth:
2:36
Article Twenty-One states:
2:40
That the will of the people is the source of the government's authority.
2:44
In Islam, however,
2:46
The government derives its authority from the law of Allah,
2:49
And not from the will of the people,
2:51
As we have detailed in our discussion on the concept of sovereignty.
2:55
For this reason, the government is chosen by the people of influence and decision-making—the scholars and the leaders—
3:01
Who are committed to the Book and the Sunnah, and no others.
3:05
The government is restricted in all its actions by the law of Allah,
3:10
Not by the will of any created being.
3:13
Fifth:
3:15
Article Twenty-Seven states:
3:18
That these rights may not be exercised in a manner contrary to the purposes of the United Nations.
3:26
To this we say:
3:28
Rather, it is mandatory to oppose the purposes of the United Nations,
3:31
Once its injustice and opposition to the law of Allah have become clear.
3:36
For opposing the people of Hellfire
3:39
Is a requirement of the Straight Path.
3:43
In conclusion:
3:45
Submission to the United Nations Charter
3:48
Is like submission to the Yassa,
3:50
By which the Tatars used to judge their affairs.
3:53
Both are false deities (taghut) that legislate in place of Allah the Exalted,
3:57
And it is mandatory to reject them,
3:59
As the aforementioned verses have stipulated.
