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

0:08 Sinners and the corrupt also have a share in the Sunnah of respite and gradual enticement.

0:15 The Sunnah of respite and gradual enticement.

0:18 Although it is a Sunnah most closely associated with the disbelieving deniers,

0:23 sinners and the corrupt also have a share in it.

0:27 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

0:30 "If you see Allah granting a servant worldly things he desires despite his disobedience,

0:35 then it is merely a gradual enticement."

0:38 Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, recited:

0:42 “Then, when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded, We opened unto them the gates of all things till, even as they were rejoicing in that which they were given, We seized them unawares, and lo! they were dumbfounded.” (6:44)

0:48 “Then, when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded, We opened unto them the gates of all things till, even as they were rejoicing in that which they were given, We seized them unawares, and lo! they were dumbfounded.” (6:44)

0:56 Among the most severe ways in which sinners and the corrupt fall into this gradual enticement

1:01 is through injustice.

1:02 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

1:05 "Indeed, Allah grants respite to the oppressor, but when He seizes him, He does not let him escape."

1:11 Then he recited:

1:13 “Even thus is the grasp of thy Lord when He graspeth the townships while they are doing wrong. Lo! His grasp is painful, very strong.” (11:102)

1:18 “Even thus is the grasp of thy Lord when He graspeth the townships while they are doing wrong. Lo! His grasp is painful, very strong.” (11:102)

1:22 This gradual enticement of sinners and the corrupt is evidence of Allah’s intense displeasure with them,

1:29 and that they have reached a point where they approach the status of the disbelievers and the hypocrites.

1:35 Let them, therefore, beware of the consequences of their corruption, injustice, and arrogance.

1:41 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
