SALAMS 2 everyone!
this book is 26 pages long so I am going to do the
best I can to send you pieces of it. I am going to
begin with some of the intro.
-------------------------------------------------------
There are many proofs from Allah an his messenger to
follow the understanding of the companions and the
next 2 generations so this is the understanding this
book brings forward. We can only follow this way 4
right guidance so take heed of Muhammad(saw) saying:
"Indeed bani Israel will split into 71 sects and my
ummah will split into 72 sects, ALL WILL BE IN THE
FIRE EXCEPT FOR 1" It was said to him."what is the 1.
He(saw) said, " That 2 which I and my companions are
upon.
This is a serious statement from the messenger(saw)
and is NOT to be taken lightly. The ummah today is
split up but who are these people who are following
the salaf's understanding of Islam. They are the
strangers as the prophet(saw)said:
"Islam began as a stranger and shall return as a
stranger as it began,so give glad tidings to the
strangers"
"So give glad tidings to the few, those who put right
what the people have corrupted."
The people who are following the salafis salih are few
in # and are strangers in the community of the muslims
since they are reviving that which the people did not
know about from the sunnah upon authentic ahadeeth.
They r not those who quote ahadeeth at ur left, right
and centre without knowing where they r from and
whether it is saheeh(authentic) or not. Rather they
are the ones who establish the deen of allah(swt)
paying close attention to the chain of narration in
the hadeeth. They are careful not to make a lie
against the messenger(saw). As Ali(ra) said in his
advice to Kumail ibn Ziyaad an Nakha'ee(a tabi'ee,
reliable)
"oh Allah yes, the earth will not be without one who
stands upright for Allah with proof-so that Allah's
proof and clear signs are not abolished. They are the
ones who are few in # but having most value to Allah,
with them Allah asserts his proofs amongst their
contemporaries and cultivates them in the hearts of
ones similar to them...Oh how I would like to see
them-and I seek Allah's forgiveness 4 me and 4 u-if u
wish then stand.
They are the ones who do not stick blindly to the
sayings of one Imaam but rather ase from where they
took that aunthentic Sunnah. |

Salaams sis,
I thought that Allah subhanahu wata'ala told us not to devide ourselfs and that islam is a brotherhood.
I have no problems in attaching yourself to the manhaj of our salfu salih.. What concernes me is the GROUPY attitude adobted by many salafis today.. salafiyah as I understand it (i could be wrong) is a methodology and an atittude rather then some organised group. I remeber going to a talk by one of the students of knowledge who said that anyone who followed the sunnah according to the way of the companions and the salaf is salafi weather or not they call themselfs salafi.
Why is then that salafis today, particularely those in the UK consider anyone that does not attend their circles or does not call themselfs a sa;lafi - misguided or even worse deviant. isn't Allah the judge of this?
Jizak Allah for posting the article by the article sis, i think that it applies to all muslims who are following the sunnah of the prophet salaAllhu calaihi wasalm as He and his companions practiced it- and not only those who Say they are "salafi"
P.S Could you post the name of the book.
Your sis in islam, |

We are Muslims with ONE Quran and ONE messenger.
Don't fall into the pit falls of those who fleed that ONE ummah mentality. Anyone who begans to label or group the Ummah is nothing but fueling the flames of division of the Ummah. Instead of calling urself Sunni, Salahi, itihaad, Aqwan Muslim why not call urself the best name under the sun: MUSLIM. Leave the judgment of the Ummah to the Creator of that Ummah Allah(SWT). By labeling ur brethren ur drifting away from the message of our faith which is unity under One Deen.
Till then fii amaani Laah. |
