Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah
0:08
From the effects of belief in the Last Day
0:11
Belief in the Last Day has numerous positive effects
0:17
and great rewards that the believing servant obtains from it.
0:21
Firstly,
0:24
certainty of Allah's justice and His grace in recompense, in this world and the Hereafter.
0:29
The oppressed person will receive their due from their oppressor,
0:31
whether that is in this world or in the Hereafter.
0:34
And that good deeds in this world do not go to waste,
0:38
even if their reward is not apparent in this world; otherwise, it would seem illogical.
0:42
Secondly, praising Allah and being thankful to Him,
0:47
and extolling Him as He deserves,
0:49
following the realization of His justice and grace, Exalted is He.
0:53
Thirdly, realizing that the abode of the Hereafter
0:57
is the true life,
1:00
and that the life of this world is short and fleeting,
1:03
no matter how long it may seem to people.
1:07
Allah, the Almighty, says:
1:20
Fourthly, establishing a balance of fear and hope in the heart of the believer.
1:25
Through these two, a person refrains from sins and transgressions,
1:29
and moves towards obedience and virtues.
1:33
Fifthly, the soundness and tranquility of the heart,
1:36
and its steadfastness in the face of trials of ease and hardship in this world.
1:41
For when the matter of the Hereafter dominates the servant's mind,
1:44
and he becomes certain of it and of the transience of this world,
1:47
he does not despair when calamities strike,
1:50
nor does he become arrogant when blessings arrive.
1:53
Rather, you see him patient and thankful,
1:56
hoping for its reward from Allah in the Hereafter.
2:02
The purity of the heart from malice and envy,
2:05
because certainty of the Hereafter and desire for it
2:08
make the servant indifferent to the fleeting world,
2:11
which causes envy and hatred among people.
2:17
Seventhly, the soul being filled with optimism,
2:20
and its constant adherence to it throughout its life.
2:23
For the most optimistic of people
2:26
are the strongest in their belief in meeting Allah in the Hereafter.
2:30
Eighthly, a strong drive to call to Allah, the Almighty,
2:35
and to strive in His cause with high ambition,
2:38
firm resolve, and sincere intention,
2:42
hoping for Allah's reward in the Hereafter for all of that,
2:46
and out of compassion for people from misery in the Hereafter.
