A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.

The term "us and the other."
0:13
It is a deviant term.
0:15
It has begun to appear in recent years in a way that dilutes the doctrine of loyalty and disavowal.
0:21
And it confuses and obscures it.
0:24
For the one who uses it feels ashamed to openly label as disbelievers and polytheists those who have not entered Islam.
0:30
The practice of those who obscure things
0:32
is to propose alternative names for the disbeliever or disbelievers.
0:37
Such as their saying, instead of that, "non-Muslims."
0:42
And when they saw that this designation also contained something of frankness and harshness,
0:47
according to their perception,
0:49
they abandoned that for the word "the other."
0:52
So they turned away from the Qur'an's designation of them as disbelievers.
0:56
This is due to the discomfort in their hearts regarding the verses that contradict the alleged call to humanity.
1:03
And Allah, the Almighty, says:
1:06
“(It is) a Scripture that is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) - so let there be no heaviness in thy heart therefrom - that thou mayst warn thereby, and (it is) a Reminder unto believers.” (7:2)
1:12
“(It is) a Scripture that is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) - so let there be no heaviness in thy heart therefrom - that thou mayst warn thereby, and (it is) a Reminder unto believers.” (7:2)
1:16
Similarly, the proponents of ignorant nationalism
1:19
intend by the term "the other"
1:21
those who are not sons of the homeland.
1:24
Even if they are pious Muslims.
1:26
This is a different meaning from the previous one.
1:30
But it is an act that perpetuates partisanship and tribalism for the homeland.
1:35
And it demolishes the doctrine of loyalty and disavowal,
1:38
upon which allegiance and enmity must be based.
