Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

Christianity
0:12
Just as the Jews were Muslims in their time, followers of the Prophet of Allah, Moses, peace be upon him,
0:18
so too were the Christians in their time, followers of Jesus, peace be upon him, Muslims and monotheists.
0:24
Like all followers of the prophets throughout the ages.
0:28
As for the Christians after the mission of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who did not believe in him,
0:34
they are disbelievers, even though they are distinguished by the rulings concerning the People of the Book.
0:40
And when the Jews conspired against Jesus, peace be upon him, and tried to kill him,
0:45
Allah, the Almighty, raised him up to Himself in heaven.
0:49
And the Christians differed after him and split into many factions.
0:54
And they altered the Gospel, just as the Jews altered the Torah.
0:58
And major polytheism appeared in most of their sects,
1:02
by their claim that the Prophet of Allah, Jesus, peace be upon him, is Allah,
1:07
or the son of Allah, or that he is the third of three with his mother Mary, and Allah, the Almighty.
1:13
And they have remained in this polytheism until this day.
1:18
And most people today are called Christians.
1:22
This is an error, because the Messiah, peace be upon him, is innocent of them due to their polytheism.
1:28
So the correct term is to call them Christians, as the Qur'an named them.
