0:00 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

0:08 The current reality of the Muslims and the confusion regarding the victory of the believers.

0:14 The current state of the Muslims, characterized by defeat and humiliation,

0:21 And the extent of the dominance and tyranny reached by the disbelievers,

0:25 Have led to confusion in the minds of some,

0:29 And despair regarding the victory of the believers in this worldly life.

0:33 This is a severe flaw in understanding,

0:36 And a definite failure to grasp the established laws of Allah.

0:40 It is also an ignorance of the reality of the names of Allah the Exalted:

0:43 The All-Wise, the All-Knowing,

0:45 The All-Aware, the All-Powerful,

0:47 The Most Merciful, the Most Subtle.

0:49 The word of Allah the Exalted:

0:51 “Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.” (4:141)

0:56 Refutes this understanding.

0:58 It is incorrect to claim that the verse refers only to the Hereafter,

1:03 Or to allege that the disbelievers possess this world,

1:06 While the believers possess only the Hereafter,

1:09 Because Allah the Exalted says:

1:11 “Lo! We verily do help Our messengers, and those who believe, in the life of the world and on the day when the witnesses arise,” (40:51)

1:20 Thus, He decreed their victory in both this world and the Hereafter.

1:24 However, one must realize that the victory of the believers is realized

1:28 In accordance with the concepts established previously.

1:32 In light of this, one must also understand the saying of Allah the Exalted:

1:36 “Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.” (4:141)

1:41 Allah, glory be to Him, has not granted the disbelievers a way over the believers,

1:46 But it is the Muslims themselves who have caused this,

1:50 By violating the conditions of victory and empowerment.

1:53 It must be firmly believed that this dominance by the disbelievers is partial and temporary;

2:00 It will neither stabilize nor endure.

2:03 The believers need only trust in their Lord, examine themselves, and acknowledge their own shortcomings in faith.

2:11 Then, they must strive earnestly to achieve true faith as previously described.

2:17 At that point, the certain law of Allah will be fulfilled, victory will be achieved, and defeat and humiliation will vanish.
