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

0:08 The harmony of human nature with the laws of the universe.

0:12 This human nature is, in its essence, in harmony with the laws of the universe.

0:20 It submits to its Lord, just as everything and every living being submits.

0:25 When a person deviates in their way of life from those laws,

0:30 they do not merely clash with the universe;

0:33 rather, they first clash with the very nature within them.

0:37 Consequently, they become miserable, torn, confused, and anxious.

0:41 For Allah, the Creator of the human soul,

0:44 is the One who revealed this religion and this creed to it,

0:48 so that it may govern its conduct within the universe.

0:51 And He is the Most Knowing of whom He created.

0:54 “Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware.” (67:14)

0:58 Human nature is constant and does not change.

1:03 The nature of Allah upon which He has created mankind.

1:07 “So set thy purpose (O Muhammad) for religion as a man by nature upright - the nature (framed) of Allah, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah's creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not -” (30:30)

1:10 The religion in the sight of Allah is constant and singular.

1:14 “Lo! religion with Allah (is) the Surrender (to His Will and Guidance). Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto them, through transgression among themselves. Whoso disbelieveth the revelations of Allah (will find that) lo! Allah is swift at reckoning.” (3:19)

1:18 If souls are diverted from this constant nature,

1:22 nothing can restore them except this constant religion,

1:25 which is in harmony with that nature.

1:27 The nature of humanity and the nature of existence.

1:31 A summary of the concepts of the Ahl al-Sunnah.
