Dear beloved Bro. Please be informed that our creed is to affirm Allah's Attribute of having a Hand and the other attributes stated by Him in His Noble Book or by His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the purified Sunnah as our Salaf did(Including the 4 Imams).

[NasirAlHanbali]

@rednekbreaka Surah Sa'd 38:75 Allah says "(Allah) said O Iblis what prevents you from prostrating to one whom i have created with both my hands are you too proud or are you from the high exalted?" there goes an ayat from the Qur'an and who is more knowledgeble about Allah than Allah? and we dont say a hand like our hand no rather the principle of Ahl-us Sunnah is we dont ressemble Allah to any of his creation there is nothing like him

[sube3]

lol this is not the aqeedah of the salaf, its the aqeedah of teh ash'ariah

misleading title

[rednekbreaka]

@BroLetitGrow Show me one Ayah or Hadith which affirms 'hand" for Allah Subhana wa Taala

[zakuk77]

Asking an ashari sufi about the aqeedah of the salaf is like asking a wolf to babysit a lamb.

[choudry1231]

Asharies and the maturidies are deviant.

[mohammedsalmanbutt]

(2/2) ...establishing the sahabah as a source for taking beliefs from = which he was fought for by the ash'aris back then.

And if you don't want to read any of his works and just go by what other people say then good luck with that...

[mohammedsalmanbutt]

(1/2) It seems Ash'aris today ascribe themselves to the salaf now - perhaps you can unite with sheikhul-islam ibn Taymiyah now seeing as his whole life was dedicated to calling the people back to the understanding of the Sahaba - only Allah knows what you guys would believe today if it wasn't for Him using ibn Taymiyah to build back up the status of the sahabah in the eyes of the people - at least give credit where due. The first half of the book of Hamawiyyah is entirely for...

[bambinici]

@BroLetitGrow that is condition of our ummah in present era. wahabi-salafi with support of kuffar and saudies spread their false daawa and expropriated title ahl sunnah wal jamaa and the truly sunni became sectarian deviation with their kalam and ibada li kabr.

5. Ibn Hajar al Asqalani narrates in his book sharhul Bukhari that once a man entered and said: ya aba Abdillah! Ar-Rahmanu ^alal arsh istawa, kayfa stawa? imam malik looked up and said 'Al istiwa'u ma^lum wa la yuqalu kayfa, wa kayfa ^anhu marfu^ wa ma 'araka illa mubtadi^a which means the man said: o abu abdullah ar -rahmanu ^alal arsh istawa, how did he 'stawa' so imam malik looked up and said the Istiwa is known and we do NOT say how, that is there is no how and I c that u r innovator

[lebrocky]

3. The way of the salaf is that they leave the ayahs as they are without applying a meaning whatsoever. They would say 'bila kayf' without a how. however the wahabis a.k.a. you apply the literal meaning when these ayahs are mushabih and are not supposed to be taken literally.

4. We do not update our creed, we follow the creed of the salaf and Khalaf and we have a chain going back to the prophet whereas YOU have a chain going back to mohammed ibn abdul wahhab
