Summary of Sunni concepts
0:08
Two forms of deviation in understanding destiny
0:13
Firstly, invoking predestination against committing sins and disbelief
0:18
God Almighty said about them
0:21
Those who associate polytheists will say, “If God had willed, neither we nor our fathers would have made polytheists nor have we deprived us of anything.”
0:30
Likewise those before them lied until they tasted Our punishment
0:35
Say: Do you have any knowledge that you can present to us?
0:39
You follow nothing but conjecture, and you only tell lies
0:45
So God lied to them in their claim
0:48
These people and others like them are arrogant and contradictory in their claims
0:54
They cannot use it in every matter
0:57
If an abuser abused them by hitting or insulting them
1:02
Then he argued to them that this required predestination
1:07
They did not accept that from him
1:09
Rather, they will become extremely angry with him
1:12
They will defend their stolen rights
1:15
How astonishing how they invoke fate against sins and what displeases God
1:21
They do not accept anyone to use him as an excuse in response to their discontent with him
1:26
When he does wrong to them
1:29
Secondly, stagnation and dependency
1:32
Where some Muslims took it in later times
1:36
Belief in fate is a weak justification for their inability and collapse
1:41
And their satisfaction with corruption and humiliation
1:44
Forgetting that God's decrees only apply to them in the first place
1:49
According to God’s established laws that link causes to their causes
1:54
This was helplessness and dependency
1:58
It is the main outlet to bring secular thought into the reality of the Muslim nation
2:04
And his control over the reins of affairs there
2:07
Malik bin Nabi called this helplessness and acceptance of humiliation
2:12
Colonization potential
2:14
He named him Maududi
2:16
enslaveability
2:19
There is no doubt that the truth in this matter is as we mentioned before
2:24
In the balance between doing everything in your power to push the warning
2:29
Until we reach the utmost potential
2:32
Then surrender to what God decrees because of our faith in Him
2:36
This means doing the reasons that God has provided for us
2:40
And defending the destinies of God Almighty with His destinies
2:44
As long as there is a possibility of defence
2:48
As God Almighty said
2:50
If God had not pushed people against each other
2:53
The earth would be corrupted
2:55
But God is of bounty over the worlds
2:59
If you do not find the defense
3:01
Or it was not possible
3:04
It is necessary to be patient with God’s decree and destiny
3:07
With the certainty that there is goodness, interest and mercy behind this
3:12
You should make an effort to seek it
3:14
And harness it for good and reform
3:17
Changing people's conditions by holding souls accountable
3:20
And remove the causes of disaster
3:23
Believing in the word of God Almighty
3:26
God does not change the condition of a people
3:29
Until they change themselves
3:32
This becomes clear
3:35
The difference between trust and reliance
3:38
Where trust is the work and servitude of the heart
3:42
Depending on God and trusting Him
3:45
And they turned to him
3:47
And delegated to him
3:49
And he is satisfied with what he spends
3:51
While one does what one is commanded to do
3:54
Reliance is inability and rationalization of reasons
3:58
And disperse in it
4:00
They claim that it is part of trust and belief in destiny
