A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Regarding the intended meaning of "secularism" (al-'ilmaniyyah).
0:10
It is an erroneous translation of the English word "secularism."
0:18
Or the French term "sécularité."
0:21
It means, as defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica:
0:25
A social movement.
0:27
Aiming to divert people.
0:29
And redirect them from concern for the Hereafter.
0:32
To a concern for the worldly life alone.
0:35
The Oxford Dictionary defines.
0:37
The word "secular" with two concepts.
0:40
The first is worldly or material.
0:43
Neither religious nor spiritual.
0:46
Such as secular education.
0:49
Secular authority.
0:51
A government opposed to the Church.
0:54
The second.
0:56
Is the view that holds.
0:58
That religion should not be the basis for morality and education.
1:03
It is clear from the definition of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
1:07
And the Oxford Dictionary.
1:09
That secularism means irreligion.
1:12
Or worldliness.
1:14
That is, what has no connection to religion.
1:17
Or what has a relationship of opposition to religion.
1:21
It is a movement and a concept.
1:23
Aiming to separate religion from the reality of all life.
1:27
Not just from politics.
1:30
Its emergence began in the late Middle Ages.
1:34
As a resistance to the intense desire.
1:36
To renounce the worldly life.
1:38
And to contemplate Allah and the Last Day.
1:40
Which were prevalent during those eras.
1:44
Thus, irreligion emerged.
1:46
Calling for an attachment to humanism.
1:49
And human achievements.
1:51
In the worldly life.
1:53
Fighting against religion and opposing it.
1:56
It continued to develop.
1:58
Until it reached the explicit call.
2:00
To separate religion from the reality of all life.
2:04
As for the word "science" in English.
2:06
It is "science."
2:08
And the adjective is "scientific."
2:10
"Scientific."
2:12
And the doctrine is "scientism."
2:14
"Scientism."
2:15
Perhaps the translation of the word "secularism."
2:18
And the content it signifies.
2:20
Into the word "al-'ilmaniyyah."
2:22
Instead of "irreligion" (al-ladiniyyah).
2:24
Was intentional.
2:26
So that the doctrine would not collide.
2:28
Directly.
2:30
With the faith of Muslims in the Arab East.
2:32
And their concept of the Hereafter.
2:34
And so that the doctrine could.
2:36
Promote its contents.
2:38
Gently and quietly.
2:40
While Muslims were heedless.
2:42
And unaware.
2:44
There is no doubt that this concept.
2:46
Does not exist in Islam at all.
2:48
Rather, it is apostasy.
2:50
And a departure from the religion.
2:53
Indeed, such a concept.
2:55
Falls under the category of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance).
2:58
The Qur'an has mentioned for Jahiliyyah.
3:00
Four pillars.
3:02
They are the same pillars.
3:04
Of secularism.
3:06
The assumption of Jahiliyyah.
3:08
The judgment of Jahiliyyah.
3:10
The display of Jahiliyyah.
3:12
And the zealotry of Jahiliyyah.
3:14
And it was mentioned in the Sunnah.
3:16
A fifth pillar.
3:18
Which is the usury (riba) of Jahiliyyah.
3:20
These pillars of Jahiliyyah.
3:22
Are applied today in the lands.
3:24
Of the Muslims with malice and cunning.
3:26
For keeping people ignorant.
3:28
Of their Lord is the assumption of Jahiliyyah.
3:30
And removing the law of Allah.
3:32
And rejecting His judgment.
3:34
Is the judgment of Jahiliyyah.
3:36
And the Westernization of women.
3:38
And their display is the display of Jahiliyyah.
3:40
And establishing loyalty.
3:42
And disavowal based on a nation.
3:44
Or a people or a flag.
3:46
Other than the flag of Tawhid.
3:48
Is the usury of Jahiliyyah.
3:50
And the worship of money and capitalism.
3:52
Based on usury.
3:54
And gambling is the usury.
3:56
Of Jahiliyyah.
