Al-Allaamah
Zaid Ibn Muhammad Al-Madkhali ( May Allah have mercy on him ) said :
“And
beware! Beware of falling into innovation and mixing [with] its people, and
beware of listening to their deceptive [statements] and arguments because it is
a disease. Indeed safety- absolute safety- is found in clinging to the Quran
and Sunnah based on the correct understanding- the [understanding] of the
Salafus Saaleh [the righteous predecessors], which cannot be attained except by
way of ernest effort and striving in seeking understanding of the religion, with
the righteous intention, wisdom [in the manner of] attaining and conveying
[it].”
