A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
The direct role of colonialism in seeking to remove Islam from the reality of Muslims.
0:16
The most important weapon the infidel West used in its confrontation with the armies of the Ottoman Empire
0:23
Was the incitement of Arab nationalism in the hearts of the Arabs and the planting of agents among them,
0:30
Promising them independent states if they assisted them in this confrontation.
0:35
Thus, they were able to fuel wars against the Ottoman Caliphate
0:40
With armies containing misguided individuals who identified as Muslims,
0:45
Until Allenby was able to occupy Jerusalem
0:49
With an army containing such people alongside his Western forces.
0:54
The countries of the Islamic world fell into the grip of loathsome Western colonialism,
1:00
Represented by Britain in some parts and France in others,
1:05
Through what became known as the Sykes-Picot Agreement.
1:09
This colonialism did not delay in implementing its malicious schemes
1:14
To remove Islam from the reality of Muslims.
1:18
These were represented, firstly, by:
1:21
Eliminating the Islamic movements resisting this invasion,
1:26
Especially the jihadist movements,
1:29
Such as the movements of 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jaza'iri in Algeria,
1:33
'Umar al-Mukhtar in Libya,
1:36
'Abd al-Karim al-Khattabi in Morocco,
1:39
Isma'il al-Shahid in India,
1:42
And the Mahdi movement in Sudan,
1:45
Despite the latter's deviation in some of its concepts from Islam.
1:50
They also sought to contain the movement of Hasan al-Banna in Egypt;
1:53
They assassinated him and dealt several blows
1:56
Through their agents to his movement.
1:59
Secondly:
2:01
Abolishing the Shari'ah courts
2:03
And replacing them with man-made laws.
2:06
They began this in India,
2:09
Then Algeria in 1830 AD,
2:14
Then Egypt in 1883 AD,
2:20
Where the rule of Shari'ah was restricted to personal status matters.
2:24
Then Tunisia in 1906 AD,
2:29
And Morocco in 1913 AD.
2:35
This was slightly delayed in Iraq and the Levant.
2:40
Thirdly:
2:42
Eliminating Islamic education and Islamic endowments (waqf).
2:47
Cunning plans were laid to gradually reduce religious education
2:53
And replace it with secular education.
2:58
Secondly:
3:00
Abolishing the Shari'ah courts,
3:03
Replacing them with man-made laws,
3:07
And replacing religious education with secular education.
3:10
The most famous of these were the Cromer and Dunlop plans in Egypt,
3:15
Which adopted a long-term policy
3:18
In which they reduced the role of Al-Azhar and its institutes,
3:21
And abolished the memorization of the Qur'an.
3:24
They did the same in Iraq and Morocco,
3:27
Turning scholars into employees of the Ministry of Endowments,
3:32
Spreading secular education,
3:35
And supporting it on a wide scale.
3:38
Universities based on a purely secular foundation flourished.
3:43
Fourthly:
3:45
Supporting non-Islamic sects,
3:48
Reviving those that had died out,
3:50
And appointing their members to important positions in the state.
3:54
For example, the administration of the Syrian University was taken over
3:57
By Constantine Rizq, the Christian.
4:00
The esoteric Nusayri sect was able
4:03
To control important positions in Syria
4:06
After the French named them "Alawites,"
4:10
And they also seized control of the army command,
4:13
Thereby dominating the Muslim majority in Syria.
4:17
They also empowered the Copts of Egypt with important state positions
4:22
And built numerous churches and Christian schools.
4:26
In most African countries,
4:29
Colonialism departed from there
4:31
After leaving behind Christian governments
4:35
That rule over populations where the percentage of Muslims in some reaches
4:39
99 percent.
4:41
The same occurred in India,
4:44
Where Muslims were transformed into a weak minority
4:48
Being torn apart by the British, Hindus, and Sikhs.
4:52
In addition to that,
4:54
Colonialism created new sects,
4:57
Such as the Babis, the Baha'is,
5:00
And the Qadianis,
5:02
Whose collaboration became clear to Muslims as days and years passed.
5:07
Fifthly:
5:09
Manufacturing agents from among the Muslims,
5:13
Where colonialism chose individuals and stuffed their minds with secular ideas,
5:19
Then created false heroics for them and exaggerated them,
5:23
Until the people imagined that their salvation lay in the hands of these heroes.
5:29
Among the most famous of these
5:31
Was the secularist and staunch enemy of Islam,
5:34
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
5:37
Sixthly:
5:38
Implementing the recommendations of Orientalists and missionaries,
5:42
Overseeing the success of their missions,
5:45
And removing the obstacles that might stand in their way.
