The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah
0:08
The reality of the triumph of truth over falsehood
0:14
Some people understand that the triumph of truth over falsehood
0:18
is limited to its tangible victory through the defeat of falsehood on the battlefield.
0:24
But the reality of victory
0:27
is steadfastness upon the truth during times of trials and the dominance of falsehood,
0:32
and sacrificing in the way of Allah the Almighty with wealth and self,
0:36
without any compromise on the truth or appeasement of falsehood.
0:41
The clearest example of this type of victory
0:45
is the great success achieved by the People of the Ditch.
0:49
Through their steadfastness upon the truth until they were burned,
0:53
and on the apparent level, falsehood triumphed over them by burning Allah's awliya' (friends/protectors), may He be glorified.
1:00
But the reality is that their steadfastness, in the scales of Allah the Almighty,
1:05
is the ultimate success and the pinnacle of victory.
1:09
Allah the Exalted said about the believers who were burned in the ditch:
1:14
“Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success.” (85:11)
1:22
"That is the great attainment."
1:25
And He said about falsehood and its people who tortured the awliya'
1:30
“Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning.” (85:10)
1:35
“Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning.” (85:10)
