0:00 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

0:08 The tribulation of distorting matters and calling things by names other than their own.

0:14 This is a blind tribulation in which those who follow falsehood present the truth in the guise of falsehood, and falsehood in the guise of truth.

0:24 They make the ugly appear beautiful and the beautiful appear ugly through cunning methods, adorning their speech and manipulating terminology.

0:34 This tribulation is the fulfillment of the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

0:39 "Years of deceit will come upon the people."

0:43 "In them, the liar will be believed and the truthful one will be belied."

0:47 "The treacherous one will be trusted, and the trustworthy one will be betrayed."

0:52 "And the Ruwaybidah will speak regarding public affairs."

0:55 It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who are the Ruwaybidah?"

0:59 He replied, "The insignificant man who speaks on the affairs of the public."

1:04 Narrated by al-Hakim, Ibn Majah, and Ahmad, and authenticated by al-Albani.

1:10 Among the contemporary manifestations of distorting matters and misnaming things are the following:

1:17 Calling alcohol a "spiritual beverage."

1:21 Calling usury "interest."

1:24 Calling frivolous competitions "championships."

1:34 Calling bribery a "gift."

1:37 Calling Muslim immigrants "foreigners."

1:45 Calling Shari'ah rulings "customs and traditions."

1:50 Calling the Ruwaybidah "Excellencies," "Your Highnesses," and "Your Eminences."

1:55 Calling unjust levies and financial extortions "taxes and customs duties."

2:00 Calling the mujahideen who resist occupiers "terrorists."

2:06 Calling degenerate celebrities "stars."

2:11 Calling the alteration of the foundations of the religion "the renewal of religious discourse."

2:22 Calling hypocrisy and sycophancy "wisdom," "pragmatism," and "love of peace."

2:29 Calling the resolutions of the Security Council and the International Court "international legitimacy."

2:36 Calling proselytization "evangelism," referring to Christians as "Nazarenes" (in a secularized sense), and Jews as "Israelis."

2:44 The corrupt themselves claiming to be reformers, while labeling the true reformers as corrupt.

2:51 Calling the commanding of good and forbidding of evil "interference in the affairs of others" and "sedition."

2:58 Justifying the abandonment of Shari'ah rulings and the fundamental tenets of the religion under the guise of "ease" and "necessity."

3:05 Validating the religions of the Jews and Christians under a new label they call "Abrahamism."

3:13 Labeling the sincere callers who support the doctrine of loyalty and disavowal for the sake of Allah as "extremists."
