Saudi King Abdul Azeez (may Allaah have mercy upon him) said:

O Muslims! It is obligatory that we hold onto the Rope of Allaah (i.e. the Qur’aan), follow the Sunnah of Allaah’s Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), follow the guidance of the Messenger, act on Allaah’s orders and keep away from what Allaah has forbidden. Indeed, every speech that is not followed by action is false. There can be no rectification for the Muslims except through their unity in singling out their Lord in (His Lordship, Names and Attributes and worshipping Him alone and associate none to Him as a partner in Worship). [And with regards to] every differing that leads to splitting and division, the Religion commands us to hold onto Allaah’s Sharee’ah, enjoin one another with the truth and patience, just as Allaah (The Most High) commanded us in the Qur’aan. We should be truly acquainted with our Lord and seek His Aid and Assistance. We do not fear except the (consequences of) our sins and it is obligated on the Muslims to follow Allaah’s Religion and obey all that Allaah has ordered - practically. In this is the (means of) rectifying their worldly affairs and the upright establishment of all their (other) affairs.

Eeman (Faith) Increases and Decreases

 

.....

According to Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah (adherents to the Sunnah and the Muslim mainstream), faith is shown through words and deeds and it increases and decreases. It increases if a person obeys and remembers Allah and decreases if they are heedless and commit sins.

A Concise Advice of Shaykh Ahmad An-Najmi رحمه الله

 

Al-Allaamah Ahmad Al-Najmi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

“In order to be acquainted with the straight path one has to return to the Quran and the Sunnah, and that which has been affirmed in the seerah of the Prophet ﷺ, the actions of the rightly guided caliphs and rightly guided scholars who came after them and this cannot be known except from the Hadith and by way of it, one will become acquainted with understanding in the religion and the rulings of the Sharee’ah, the actions of the Sahaabah and their creed, the actions of the early rightly guided imams -  those who (transmitted and based their lives on) hadeeth and were people of sound creed. Therefore, it is obligated on you to (adhere) to that; strive in (this path) and do everything within your capability to be acquainted with it.”

The Foundation of Salafi Dawah

 

Shaikh Muhammad Bn Nāsirid-Dīn Al-Albānī (رحمه الله):

The foundations of the Salafī da’wah is established upon three pillars:

- The Noble Qur’ān

- The Authentic Sunnah

- Understanding them upon the methodology of the pious predecessors; from the companions, the tābi’ūn and their successors.

And the reason for the misguidance of all the (misguided groups); both ancient and modern is not holding firm to the three pillars.

The Hadeeth of Jibreel (Arkaan of Islam, Eemaan and Ihsaan)

 

The Hadeeth of Jibril

Abu Huraira reported:

One day the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) appeared before the public that a man came to him and said: Prophet of Allaah, (tell me) what is Eeman. Upon this he (the Prophet) replied: That you affirm your faith in Allaah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His Messengers and that you affirm your faith in the Resurrection hereafter. He (again) said: Messenger of Allaah, (tell me) what does al-Islam signify. He (the Prophet) replied: Al-Islam signifies that you worship Allaah and do not associate anything with Him and you establish obligatory prayer and you pay the obligatory poor-rate (Zakat) and you observe the fast of Ramadan. He (the inquirer) again said: Messenger of Allaah, what does al-Ihsan imply? He (the Prophet) replied: That you worship Allaah as if you are seeing Him, and in case you fail to see Him, then observe prayer (with this idea in your mind) that (at least) He is seeing you. He (the inquirer ) again said: Messenger of Allaah, when would there be the hour (of Doom)? He (the Prophet) replied: The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer. I, however, narrate some of its signs (and these are): when the slave-girl will give birth to he master, when the naked, barefooted would become the chiefs of the people – these are some of the signs of (Doom). (Moreover) when the shepherds of the black (camels) would exult themselves in buildings, this is one of the signs of (Doom). (Doom) is one of the five (happenings wrapped in the unseen) which no one knows but Allaah. Then he (the Messenger of Allaah) recited (the verse):” Verily Allaah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the hour and He it is Who sends (down the rain) and knows that which is in the wombs and no person knows whatsoever he shall earn tomorrow, and a person knows not in whatsoever land he shall die. Verily Allaah is Knowing, Aware. He (the narrator, Abu Huraira) said: Then the person turned back and went away. The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Bring that man back to me. They (the Companions of the Prophet present there) went to bring him back, but they saw nothing there. Upon this the Messenger of Allaah remarked: he was Jibreel, who came to teach the people their religion.

Sound Aqeedah (Creed & Belief) is the main origin of Islam and the basis of the religion - If the `Aqeedah is not sound, all actions and words are void.

 

وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالْإِيمَانِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ 

Allah (Exalted be He) says: 

And whosoever disbelieves in Faith [i.e. in the Oneness of Allâh and in all the other Articles of Faith i.e. His (Allâh’s) Angels, His Holy Books, His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], then fruitless is his work; and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.(Sûrah Al-Mâ’idah 5:5)

وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ 

And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), as it was to those (Allâh’s Messengers) before you: ”If you join others in worship with Allâh, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers.” .(Sûrah Az-Zumar 39:65)

لَّيْسَ الْبِرَّ أَن تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالْكِتَابِ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ

It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each and every act of obedience to Allâh, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allâh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets….(Sûrah Al-Baqarah 2:177)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا آمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا

O you who believe! Believe in Allâh, and His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and the Book (the Qur’ân) which He has sent down to His Messenger, and the Scripture which He sent down to those before (him); and whosoever disbelieves in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far away. (Sûrah An-Nîsâ’ 4:136)

أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۗ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ فِي كِتَابٍ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ 

Know you not that Allâh knows all that is in the heaven and on the earth? Verily, it is (all) in the Book (Al-Lauh-al-Mahfûz). Verily that is easy for Allâh. (Sûrah Al-Hajj 22:70)

The Aqeedah of Tawheed  (A clarification of that which opposes and harms it, from  major and minor shirk, ta’eel and bid’ah)

By the Noble Shaikh, Dr. Saaleh bin Fawzaan bin Abdullaah al-Fawzaan  (A member of the Committee of Senior Scholars)

1.1 The ‘aqeedah and its importance with regard to it being the foundation upon which the deen is built.

1.2 The sources of ‘aqeedah and the manhaj of the Salaf in learning it.

1.3 The ways in which deviation from the ‘aqeedah occurs and the ways to protect oneself

“Know that the truth is that which Allaah has revealed and [given to] his Messenger (sallaal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) ..."

 

“Know that the truth is that which Allaah has revealed and [given to] his Messenger (sallaal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) in the Book and the Sunnah, even if its adherents and those who embrace it are few .What came in the Islamic Legislation is the truth, which a [person] is commanded to follow, even if the majority of the people free themselves from it and those who follow it are few.”

Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) said:

... Ascription to this methodology [of the Salaf] requires [an acquisition of] knowledge of its fundamentals  in order that the Muslim may adhere to it. [One is] required to have knowledge of the other methodologies that are in opposition to Salafiyyah in order to avoid them.

The Sahabah

 

...

Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: “Do not revile the Companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him) for an hour of their sitting (he means with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him) is better than the deeds of any of you for forty years”.

In another narration related by Waki`, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: (...Is better than the deeds of any of you in their whole life).

Therefore, whoever curses any of the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them all) of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) will be entitled to a serious punishment according to the consensus of Muslim scholars.

However, they (Muslim scholars), disagreed on whether they should be sentenced to death or not.

•  the most complete in Faith.

The Answering of Supplication

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah said:

What is the meaning of the following Hadith: When Allah wills good for His servant, He uses him. ?

 

The second question of Fatwa no. 14535

Question 2: What is the meaning of the following Hadith: When Allah wills good for His servant, He uses him. ?

Answer: It is related by Al-Tirmidhy and others on the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'When Allah wills good for His servant, He uses him.' They said, 'How does He use him?' He said, 'He guides him to do good deeds before he dies.'

(Part No. 3; Page No. 203)

Al-Tirmidhy commented, saying: "It is Hadith Hasan Sahih (a Hadith that stands at a higher level than a mere Hasan Hadith, but at a bit lower level than Sahih). This Hadith indicates that a person is judged according to his final deeds, and that a Muslim should adhere to obeying Allah (Exalted be He) by doing what He enjoins and refraining from what He forbids. Furthermore, he should increase his good deeds, hoping that Allah will reward him with a blessed end.

May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

The harm that the innovator in the religion brings is much, they block the path to Paradise & many Muslims don’t even realise.So beware of innovations & the callers to it & this is the reason why the Salafis warn against them as they take you away from the correct path…

Imaam ibn al-Qayyim (d.751H) رحمه الله stated:

“It is known that the sinner only harms himself, but as for the innovator (in the religion) he harms many and his tribulation and harms is in the foundations of (a person’s) religion whereas the tribulation of the sinner is in regards to his desires. As for the innovator, he lies in wait in order to block the people from the straight path, however the sinner is not like that. The innovator rejects the attributes of the Lord and His perfection and the sinner is not like that. The innovator contradicts what the Messenger came with and the sinners is not like that. The innovator cutts off the path to the hereafter (Paradise) from the people and the sinner (only) delays his journey to (Paradise) due to his sins.”
