Manifestations of venerating the texts of the Book and the Sunnah
0:14
Veneration of the texts of the Book and the Sunnah has several manifestations.
0:18
These should be adhered to.
0:20
Among these is:
0:22
Firstly,
0:23
Preserving their texts in memory and in writing.
0:26
The Muslims preserved the Book of Allah in their memories through the transmitted recitations.
0:32
And authorizations continue to be granted in this field.
0:35
Similarly, many scholars preserved the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, with their connected chains of narration back to him.
0:43
As for preservation in writing,
0:45
it began with the compilation of the Book of Allah during the era of Abu Bakr and Uthman, may Allah be pleased with them.
0:51
Currently, it is represented by the care taken in printing the Book of Allah,
0:55
with complete attention to vowel markings and the Uthmanic script.
0:59
The same applies to the Sunnah.
1:02
It was documented from the time of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz.
1:06
And the compilations concerning it became numerous, including Musnads, Jami's, Sunans, and Mu'ajams.
1:12
Secondly,
1:14
Veneration of the legal text by accepting and submitting to it,
1:18
rejoicing in it, and acting upon it.
1:20
As we explained in the previous concepts.
1:23
Thirdly,
1:26
Veneration of the legal text
1:29
and denouncing those who oppose it.
1:31
This is done by refuting the doubts of adversaries who are hostile to the legal texts and object to them,
1:37
debunking their claims, and exposing their schemes.
1:41
Likewise, confronting those who interpret and distort the text
1:45
to align with their beliefs,
1:47
or those who prioritize opinion and analogy over the text,
1:51
or those who prioritize subjective experience and ecstasy over it.
1:55
And finally,
1:57
confronting those in charge of unjust policies who prioritize their policies over the text.
2:03
Fourthly,
2:05
Serving the legal text in a way that achieves its understanding and contemplation.
2:09
The Islamic heritage is replete with this.
2:12
The Islamic library has been filled with Tafsir of the Qur'an and the reasons for revelation,
2:18
and branches of Qur'anic sciences.
2:20
It has also been filled with commentaries on the books of Sunnah and various Sunnah sciences.
2:25
Fifthly,
2:26
Among the most important manifestations of venerating the legal text
2:30
is to rule by it among people and to seek judgment from it,
2:33
and to reject all that contradicts it.
