A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
The methods employed by missionaries to achieve their objectives.
0:12
Among the most significant of these methods:
0:16
First:
0:17
Converting as many Muslims as possible to Christianity.
0:22
Even if this is not the primary goal,
0:25
as Zwemer stated,
0:27
it nonetheless serves to shake the faith of others and dampen their resolve.
0:34
Second:
0:35
Establishing nurseries, schools, and colleges
0:38
sponsored by missionary organizations throughout the Islamic world.
0:43
They have succeeded in this to a great extent in Africa,
0:47
where the number of educational institutes
0:50
has reached approximately 16,670.
0:55
Colleges and universities number 500,
0:58
and kindergartens have exceeded 1,113.
1:04
Furthermore, theological schools specialized in graduating priests, monks, and missionaries
1:11
number 489.
1:15
The number of Muslim children
1:17
studying in institutions sponsored by missionary organizations
1:23
exceeds 5 million.
1:25
Third:
1:27
Concealing the motives of missionary work
1:30
under the guise of humanitarian aid, medical assistance, and food supplies.
1:35
This is done so that missionary work does not clash with the distinct Muslim doctrine of loyalty and disavowal (al-wala' wa al-bara').
1:43
And to weaken this doctrine in the hearts of Muslims through such aid.
1:49
In recent years, they have focused their efforts on Indonesia and Bangladesh.
1:55
Fourth:
1:57
Focusing on corrupting the Islamic countryside, which is known for its adherence to Islamic traditions,
2:04
by establishing social, vocational, and health centers,
2:10
and organizing programs for settling nomads and eradicating illiteracy,
2:14
in order to infiltrate the minds of the majority of segments of Muslim populations.
2:19
Fifth:
2:21
Focusing on corrupting Muslim women through clubs, women's associations, and their destructive activities,
2:29
such as fashion shows, promotional parties, skill-development programs, and the like.
2:37
Sixth:
2:39
Encouraging birth control among Muslims
2:42
to reduce their numbers as much as possible,
2:45
while simultaneously encouraging Christians and non-Islamic sects to increase their offspring.
2:53
Seventh:
2:56
Consuming the efforts of Muslim scholars in resisting missionary ideologies,
3:00
to cause them to miss opportunities to work toward the advancement of Muslims,
3:05
and to hinder their productive efforts in that regard.
3:09
Eighth:
3:11
Monitoring the Islamic world and spying upon it,
3:14
gauging the pulse of the Ummah,
3:17
and tracking Islamic movements.
3:20
The connection between missionary missions and international intelligence circles has been proven.
3:27
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
