A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Reactionary.
0:11
A term coined by Communists and nationalist Ba'athists,
0:15
And those who followed them, the secularists,
0:17
To describe those who hold fast to Islamic Sharia.
0:21
By it, they intend to accuse them of regressing hundreds of years,
0:26
To the time when the Qur'an was revealed,
0:28
And the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, lived,
0:31
Along with his noble Companions, may Allah be pleased with them.
0:34
So whoever follows the path of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
0:38
And his noble Companions,
0:40
Is considered a reactionary by them.
0:42
They use this term to disparage him,
0:44
Implying that he wishes to take people back to previous eras,
0:49
And that he rejects progress and modern life.
0:52
Yet, as for following the path of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
0:56
And his noble Companions,
0:58
What an honorable trait that is.
1:00
It is a great honor for anyone who is characterized by it.
1:04
As for the accusation of rejecting progress and modern life,
1:08
That is a fabrication with which these liars pelt anyone who holds fast to his religion,
1:14
In order to deceive the people,
1:16
And turn them away from anyone who calls them to adhere to the limits of the Sharia.
1:21
They attempt to convince people that progress contradicts this alleged reactionism,
1:27
And that it requires liberation from the constraints of the Sharia,
1:30
Which they label as old and reactionary,
1:34
And to be unrestrained in living in the modern age,
1:37
Without caution against any sins or violations of the law of Allah.
1:42
If we look at the state of those who apply this term to those who hold fast to their religion,
1:48
We find that they are the ones who have fallen into reactionism in its darkest form,
1:52
Having regressed to the Age of Ignorance and disbelief,
1:55
Which the Messengers came to eradicate,
1:58
And to call people to the monotheism of the Lord of the worlds.
