A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
The difference between awe-inspiring dignity and arrogance.
0:11
Awe-inspiring dignity is a byproduct of a heart filled with the glorification, love, and reverence of Allah.
0:19
For when light settles within such a heart,
0:22
and tranquility descends upon it,
0:24
one is clothed in the mantle of dignity.
0:27
Consequently, he captures the hearts of people,
0:30
who feel love for him and awe of him,
0:33
and a yearning toward him,
0:35
and their eyes find comfort in him.
0:37
As for arrogance,
0:39
it is a byproduct of vanity and transgression,
0:42
stemming from a heart filled with ignorance and injustice.
0:46
Thus, his gaze toward people is one of disdain,
0:49
his walk among them is one of conceit,
0:51
and his treatment of them is one of selfishness.
0:54
There is neither selflessness nor fairness in him.
0:57
He only draws further away from Allah,
1:00
and becomes increasingly insignificant and detested in the eyes of people.
