Wise Words from Our Beloved Shaykh
Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-Uthaymeen hafidhahullaah
From his [the Prophet] sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam's statement,
"Whoever lives amongst you will see much differing, so adhere to my Sunnah",
It can be learnt that if parties (ahzaab) within the ummah emerge in
increasing numbers then one should not affiliate himself to a party
(hizb). In the past, many groups have appeared; Khwaarij, Mu'tazilah,
Jahmiyyah, Shee'ah, even Raafidah. Then there appeared, later on
Ikhwanis, Salafis, Tablighis, and all those like them. Put all of them
to one side and take [the path] ahead. Which is what the Prophet
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallaam guided to, "Adhere to my Sunnah and the
Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs." No doubt, it is obligatory for
all Muslims to adopt the way of the salaf as their madhhab, not
affiliation to a specific party (hizb) named, "The Salafis". It is
obligatory for the Islamic Ummah to adopt the way of the salaf
as-salih as their madhhab, not bigotry to those called "the salafis".
Pay attention to the difference: There is the way of the salaf, and
there is a party (hizb) called "the salafis".
What is the objective? Following the Salaf. Why? The salafi brothers
are the closest sect to that which is right, no doubt, but their
problem is the same as others, that some of these sects declare others
as being misguided, they declare them to be innovators and as being
sinners. We don't censure this, if they deserve it, but we censure
handling this bid'ah in this way. It is obligatory for the leaders of
these sects to get together and say, "Between us is the book of Allah,
and the Sunnah of His messenger, so lets us judge by them and not
according to desires, opinions and not according to personalities.
Everyone makes mistakes and achieves correctness no matter what he has
reached with regards to knowledge and worship. Infallibility is [only]
in the religion of Islam."
In this hadeeth the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallaam guided to
the way in which a person secures himself. He doesn't affiliate him to
any sect, only the way of the salaf as-salih, to the Sunnah of our
Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallaam and the rightly guided caliphs.
