0:00 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08 The Sunnah of the alternation of days between the believers and the disbelievers.
0:14 It is among the wisdom and the established ways of Allah regarding the believers that they are granted victory at times.
0:19 Meaning, they gain the upper hand over their enemies, and at other times, the upper hand is gained over them.
0:25 Meaning, the victory goes to their disbelieving enemies on certain occasions.
0:30 Yet, the final outcome belongs to the people of truth, the God-fearing.
0:34 Allah the Exalted said regarding this Sunnah:
0:38 “If ye have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. These are (only) the vicissitudes which We cause to follow one another for mankind, to the end that Allah may know those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth not wrong-doers.” (3:140)
0:43 “If ye have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. These are (only) the vicissitudes which We cause to follow one another for mankind, to the end that Allah may know those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth not wrong-doers.” (3:140)
0:47 “If ye have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. These are (only) the vicissitudes which We cause to follow one another for mankind, to the end that Allah may know those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth not wrong-doers.” (3:140)
0:52 And Allah does not love the wrongdoers.
0:56 When Heraclius asked Abu Sufyan about the state of the fighting between the Quraysh and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
1:04 Abu Sufyan replied that the war between them was like a bucket, alternating, with each side striking the other.
1:11 Heraclius then said, "And so it is with the messengers; they are tested, then the final outcome is theirs."
1:19 Thus, this Sunnah was known even to the Christians.
1:25 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
