Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

The dangerous consequences of the temptation to conform to reality
0:15
The danger of conforming to reality is determined by several factors.
0:20
Firstly, the worldly consequences.
0:25
This is due to the loss of identity and the dissolution of Islamic personality that becomes apparent in the conformist who blindly follows others.
0:33
This results in suffering in his body, soul, mind, and honor.
0:39
This loss and dissolution become a source of hardship, misery, and unhappiness.
0:46
In contrast to one who submits to the law of Allah Almighty, and who is not swayed by doubt, desire, the pleasure of people, or their displeasure.
0:56
You will find him only happy, reassured, and protected by his Lord in his religion, self, mind, wealth, and honor.
1:06
Secondly, the religious consequences, and these are more dangerous than the previous ones.
1:13
This is because conforming to the reality of people that contradicts the law of Allah Almighty can lead to the accumulation of sins and transgressions.
1:22
Until they seal his heart, and more dangerous than that is the continuous falling into transgressions without denial or objection.
1:32
It may turn into something familiar that the heart becomes accustomed to, and develops a love for it and considers it permissible, and we seek refuge in Allah.
1:41
Because deviation may begin slightly at the beginning of the path, and then it will not be long before it ends in complete deviation at its end.
1:51
And whoever accepts compromise on a part of deviation cannot stop at his deviation the first time.
1:58
Because his readiness to submit to deviation increases with every step he takes backward.
2:05
Thirdly, the consequences for da'wah. The appearance of conformity on a servant, especially a da'wah caller,
2:14
causes him to lose credibility with himself and with people, especially those being called. This may lead him to abandon da'wah and its people.
2:26
How can one who is required to guide and change reality conform to it?
2:34
Fourthly, the consequences in the Hereafter, and these consequences are not hidden from anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day.
2:43
For conforming to reality in ways that displease Allah Almighty exposes oneself to Allah's displeasure and punishment.
2:52
We ask Allah for safety and well-being.
