A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
The triumph of falsehood over truth.
0:13
The principle is that truth endures.
0:16
But Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, by His wisdom and might,
0:19
sometimes grants falsehood dominion over it.
0:22
For the reasons previously mentioned,
0:25
and due to the sins of His servants.
0:28
However, this dominion is temporary.
0:31
Whoever assumes that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic,
0:34
grants falsehood permanent dominion over truth,
0:37
has harbored a bad opinion of Allah, may He be Exalted.
0:40
And of His promise, for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic,
0:43
has decreed that falsehood shall vanish and depart,
0:46
and that truth shall remain and be firm,
0:49
and deeply rooted. He, the Exalted, says:
0:52
“He sendeth down water from the sky, so that valleys flow according to their measure, and the flood beareth (on its surface) swelling foam - from that which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments and tools riseth a foam like unto it - thus Allah coineth (the similitude of) the true and the false. Then, as for the foam, it passeth away as scum upon the banks, while, as for that which is of use to mankind, it remaineth in the earth. Thus Allah coineth the similitudes.” (13:17)
0:55
As for the foam,
0:58
it goes away as [worthless] debris.
1:01
“He sendeth down water from the sky, so that valleys flow according to their measure, and the flood beareth (on its surface) swelling foam - from that which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments and tools riseth a foam like unto it - thus Allah coineth (the similitude of) the true and the false. Then, as for the foam, it passeth away as scum upon the banks, while, as for that which is of use to mankind, it remaineth in the earth. Thus Allah coineth the similitudes.” (13:17)
1:04
it remains on the earth.
1:07
“He sendeth down water from the sky, so that valleys flow according to their measure, and the flood beareth (on its surface) swelling foam - from that which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments and tools riseth a foam like unto it - thus Allah coineth (the similitude of) the true and the false. Then, as for the foam, it passeth away as scum upon the banks, while, as for that which is of use to mankind, it remaineth in the earth. Thus Allah coineth the similitudes.” (13:17)
1:10
And He said concerning the truth:
1:13
“Seest thou not how Allah coineth a similitude: A goodly saying, as a goodly tree, its root set firm, its branches reaching into heaven,” (14:24)
1:16
“Seest thou not how Allah coineth a similitude: A goodly saying, as a goodly tree, its root set firm, its branches reaching into heaven,” (14:24)
1:19
“Seest thou not how Allah coineth a similitude: A goodly saying, as a goodly tree, its root set firm, its branches reaching into heaven,” (14:24)
1:22
“Giving its fruit at every season by permission of its Lord? Allah coineth the similitudes for mankind in order that they may reflect.” (14:25)
1:26
And Allah presents examples for the people,
1:29
so that they may remember.
1:32
And He said concerning falsehood:
1:35
“And the similitude of a bad saying is as a bad tree, uprooted from upon the earth, possessing no stability.” (14:26)
1:38
[but] the impure is [removed] and gone from the surface of the earth.
1:41
“And the similitude of a bad saying is as a bad tree, uprooted from upon the earth, possessing no stability.” (14:26)
