0:00 Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah
0:08 Kinship ties and bonds in the pre-Islamic era and in Islam
0:13 Islam's perspective on kinship ties and bonds differs from the scattered views of the pre-Islamic era.
0:21 For the pre-Islamic era sometimes made blood and lineage the bond,
0:26 and at other times, it was land and homeland,
0:29 and thirdly, it was the people and the tribe,
0:32 and fourthly, it was race, ethnicity, and language,
0:35 and fifthly, it was profession and class,
0:38 and sixthly, it was common interests,
0:41 or shared history or shared destiny,
0:45 and so on.
0:47 All these bonds are pre-Islamic conceptions,
0:51 whether they were separate or some of them combined.
0:55 As for Islam,
0:57 it places the bond of religion and creed above all these ties and connections.
1:02 Loyalty and disavowal are based on this foundation.
1:06 Allah Almighty says:
1:08 “O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” (49:13)
1:14 “O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” (49:13)
1:19 “O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” (49:13)
1:23 Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Wise.
1:26 And He, Glorified be He, says:
1:28 “Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful?” (58:22)
1:32 “Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful?” (58:22)
1:37 “Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful?” (58:22)
1:43 “Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful?” (58:22)
1:50 “Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful?” (58:22)
1:56 May Allah be pleased with them, and they with Him.
1:59 Those are the party of Allah.
2:02 “Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful?” (58:22)
2:06 And He said about Ibrahim (peace be upon him):
2:09 “The prayer of Abraham for the forgiveness of his father was only because of a promise he had promised him, but when it had become clear unto him that he (his father) was an enemy to Allah he (Abraham) disowned him. Lo! Abraham was soft of heart, long-suffering.” (9:114)
2:16 “The prayer of Abraham for the forgiveness of his father was only because of a promise he had promised him, but when it had become clear unto him that he (his father) was an enemy to Allah he (Abraham) disowned him. Lo! Abraham was soft of heart, long-suffering.” (9:114)
2:22 And when Allah, Glorified be He, wanted to define for the Muslims their Ummah that unites them across the ages,
2:29 He mentioned the Messenger and his followers across different times.
2:33 Then He said: "Indeed, this, your Ummah, is one Ummah, and I am your Lord, so worship Me."
2:41 He did not say to the Arabs, "Your Ummah is the Arab Ummah,"
2:46 as the nationalists call out,
2:48 nor to the Persian, Roman, or Jew,
2:51 "Your Ummah is Persian, Roman, or Jewish."
2:57 So, the Ummah of the Muslims, in the scale of Allah Almighty,
3:01 comprises the followers of the Messenger across the ages.
3:04 And whoever chooses another path for himself, let him take it.
3:08 But let him not say, "I am among the Muslims."
