Disagreement.
0:11
Disagreement is part of human nature.
0:13
This arises from differences in intellects and levels of understanding.
0:16
It also stems from the intrusion of personal desires, ego, and fanaticism toward specific opinions and stances.
0:21
Nevertheless, the truth is singular and does not multiply.
0:25
However, it may manifest in diverse forms while its essence remains one.
0:30
The existence of disagreement does not necessitate enmity, separation, or severance of ties.
0:35
Especially when it occurs within the circle of the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:39
For the salaf continued to have disagreements among themselves regarding certain matters of legal rulings.
0:44
Yet, love and mutual loyalty remained between them.
0:48
Disagreement is divided into two categories.
0:51
First, a category in which one of the two parties is praised.
0:55
And the other party is condemned.
0:58
Such as the disagreement that exists between the believers and the disbelievers.
1:01
Or between the Ahl al-Sunnah and the proponents of innovation.
1:04
As in His saying, the Exalted:
1:07
“Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others, and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake, while some of them He exalted (above others) in degree; and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) and We supported him with the holy Spirit. And if Allah had so wiled it, those who followed after them would not have fought one with another after the clear proofs had come unto them. But they differed, some of them believing and some disbelieving. And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with another; but Allah doeth what He will.” (2:253)
1:12
And as in His saying, the Exalted:
1:15
“These twain (the believers and the disbelievers) are two opponents who contend concerning their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will be poured down on their heads,” (22:19)
1:18
And everything related to matters of creed and its fundamentals.
1:22
Which the salaf of the Ummah did not disagree upon.
1:25
For distancing oneself from those who oppose these is mandatory and falls under this category.
1:31
Second, a category in which both disagreeing parties are condemned.
1:36
If this causes division and enmity.
1:40
And the party that does not make this disagreement a cause for separation and division is praised.
1:46
The salaf of the Ummah accommodated this type of disagreement.
1:50
And it did not result in division or enmity because of it.
1:54
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
