A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
The necessity of paying attention to understanding the two types of divine laws.
0:15
Since both cosmic laws and social laws are among the divine laws,
0:21
one ought to apply their intellect and reflection to both of them,
0:27
so as to remain in constant connection with Allah.
0:31
However, what occurs, unfortunately, is the opposite.
0:35
The Muslim community has neglected to examine the cosmic laws.
0:39
While some may have held fast to studying social laws,
0:44
the majority of them have neglected to examine those as well.
0:49
Consequently, the Muslim community has fallen far behind.
0:53
It has fallen under the dominance of the disbelieving Western society,
0:57
and has even changed in its social behavior.
1:00
It collapsed and lost its leadership of the world,
1:03
and as a result, its ideals and values were lost.
1:08
Western society has made astonishing progress in studying cosmic laws,
1:14
and through this, it has achieved significant material advancement.
1:19
Its material civilization has flourished greatly,
1:22
yet it has neglected social laws and their study,
1:27
as well as acting in accordance with them in many matters.
1:30
Thus, it has collapsed morally and become afflicted with turmoil, anxiety, and confusion,
1:36
and psychological and neurological illnesses have become widespread within it,
1:40
which portends the collapse of their civilization as well.
