A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
The constancy and regularity of the Sunnah.
0:13
Both cosmic and social Sunnah share constancy and regularity.
0:19
In terms of origin and generality.
0:22
However, they differ in the following aspects:
0:25
Firstly,
0:26
Social Sunnah are consistently regular.
0:30
They do not change or fail.
0:33
When their conditions are met and their impediments are removed.
0:37
And these are what Allah Almighty says about them:
0:39
“(Such was Our) method in the case of those whom We sent before thee (to mankind), and thou wilt not find for Our method aught of power to change.” (17:77)
0:43
As for cosmic Sunnah,
0:45
they may be breached with Allah Almighty's permission.
0:47
Whether by way of miracle or sign.
0:51
Just as Allah prevented fire from burning.
0:54
for the sake of His prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him.
0:57
Allah Almighty says:
0:59
“We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,” (21:69)
1:05
Or by way of karamah (honor) for Allah's awliya' (beloved servants).
1:08
Just as Allah provided sustenance for Maryam, peace be upon her, in the mihrab.
1:13
Allah Almighty says:
1:15
“And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37)
1:21
He said, "O Maryam, from where is this for you?"
1:24
“And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37)
1:27
“And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37)
1:32
Or even by way of trial and test.
1:35
As will occur at the hands of the Dajjal at the end of time.
1:40
Secondly,
1:41
Cosmic Sunnah are evident, clear, and regulated.
1:45
Making them easy to recognize.
1:47
Such as knowing that fire burns.
1:50
And that gravity pulls things from top to bottom.
1:54
And so on.
1:56
Whereas social Sunnah cannot be easily measured.
2:00
And they are hidden from many people.
2:03
Especially those who do not believe in the Qur'an.
2:06
And those who do not believe in Allah Almighty's management of affairs.
2:11
According to His knowledge, will, and wisdom.
2:14
They are only perceived through contemplation and reflection on Allah's recited verses.
2:19
And by measuring people's situations against them.
2:22
To understand how His Sunnah has justly taken effect upon His allies and His enemies.
2:28
