 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له واشدوا أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله وتعالى today I want to start a very important series in which بإذن الله الكريم I hope to explain the reality of Salafiyah and what Salafiyah means his characteristics, his attributes وإن شاء الله يبنك the unpopular fallacies and the erroneous ideas that are pushed against Dawah Salafiyah but before I go into the سلب الموضوع before I go into the topic at hand I want to bring to your attention for important and vital introduction the first introduction is our messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم نبي الله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم he informed us he told us that after his death we are going to see innovation بداع we are going to see newly invented matters in the religion of al-Islam he warned us about it عليه الصلاة والسلام and he warned us about it severely اشد التحدير he told us to stay away from that innovation he also told us to stay away from those innovators عليه الصلاة والسلام he told us and he instructed us to follow and hold on to the Quran and his sunnah he also commanded us and he told us to hold on to the way of his rightly guided khulafa أبو بكر عمر أثمان وعلي and the companions in general صلى الله عليه وسلم following the companions and adhering to their way in how they took the Quran and the sunnah and how they implemented it in their life how they understood it how they acted upon it and were instructed by Allah on his messenger to follow them in that الله عز وعليه سلن القرآن والسابقون الأولون من المهاجرين والأنصار واللديين اتبعوهم بإحسان رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عن والسابقون the four fronts the Ali أنصار and the Muhاجرين الله mentioned سبحانه وتعالى first the Muhاجرين the Muhاجرين are the ones who migrated from Makkah to Medina the Sahabas who migrated from Makkah to Medina they are called the Muhاجرين they are the best of the companions and the ones that lived in Medina with the residence of Medina are called the Ansar رضي الله عنهم الله عز وعليه سلن يتبعوهم he mentioned the Muhاجرين and he mentioned the Ansar and Allah mentioned a third group of people واللديين اتبعوهم بإحسان and those who follow them in good we know we can't be from the Muhاجرين and we definitely know we can't be from the Ansar we have a third option we have a third option which is to be those who follow them in good we follow the Muhاجرين we follow the Ansar in good when we do that الله عز وعليه سلن يقول to us رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عن الله سبحانه وتعالى سبحانه وتعالى and we are pleased with Allah that's an important point that we understand that for Allah to be pleased with us سبحانه وتعالى we have to follow the Muhاجرين and the Ansar what is it that we follow them in? we follow them in their speech we follow them in their actions we also follow them in their belief what they believed we follow them in how they implemented the Quran and the sunnah in their lives الله عز وعليه سلن يقول to us that if we deviate from the path of the companions that we are going to be the dwellers of the Hawq Faya الله عز وعليه سلن يقول ومن يشاقق الرسول من بعد ما تبيّن له الهدى ويتبع غير سبيل المؤمنين نولّه ما تولّه ونصله جهن موساءة مصيرا الله عز وعليه سلن يقول anyone who turns away from the path of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم من بعد ما تبيّن له الهدى after clear cut evidence comes to you you turn away from the path of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when the evidence has been told to you and you were told what Allah and his messenger said in this matter you leave the Prophet's way and you also leave the path of the believers صلى الله عليه وسلم الله didn't just say you left the Prophet's path but you also left the path of the companions ويتبع غير السبيل المؤمنين and you follow a path other than the path of the believers when this ayah came down who were the believers do you and I were not there the believers at that time were the صحابة ابتداء first of all it was them they were the first believers we all entered that تبع and we just maybe fall into that but the sahabah is number one they were the believers of that time والذين اتبعوهم بإحسانين and ويتبع غير السبيل المؤمنين تتوز تجدر who follow those companions in good and those who stay away from their path but what do they do they follow them in their path those two ayahs you have to bring together if you stay away from the path of the companions and you abandon that path and you also abandon the path of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم what will happen to you نولي هيماتة والله whichever path you have chosen you like the ideology of a scholar you read his works you like the ideology of a 21st century or a youtube scholar that you saw of Allah and his messenger and the sahabahs نولي هيماتة والله ونصله جهنم وساءة مصيرا جهنم is going to be that person's final abode the last place you are going to be is in Hellfire جهنم is that a place you want to be in no what I just mentioned brothers and sisters is Salafiyah I have just explained to you what Salafiyah means السلفية is نسبة إلى السلف you are attributing yourself to the prophet you are attributing yourself to the sahabahs you are attributing yourself to the تابعين you are attributing yourself to the تابع والتابعين the three noble generation the prophet and his time which is the prophet and his companions and the تابعين which is the second generation and the third one is the اتبع والتابعين you are ascribing yourself you are attributing yourself to those three generation that's what it is السلفية نسبة إلى السلف it's an attribution to the سلف وهم من مضو and the salaf are those who preceded us they preceded us in two things they preceded us in time and in virtue it's not just time and أبو جهل preceded us in time but not in virtue so what we say is that they preceded us in time and they also preceded us in what? in virtue that's what the word السلفية means it means نسبة إلى السلف وهم من مضو السلف والصالح the pious predecessors they are the صحابة they are the تابعون and they are the اتباع التابعين that's who they are they are the ones that Allah mentioned in the ayah والسابقون الأولون من المهاجرين والأنصار والذين اتباعهم بإحسان رضي الله عنهم ورضو عن and we explain that verse you attribute to yourself to those three noble generations those three golden generation the three generation that the messenger mentioned in the حديث بخاري المسلم خير الناس قرني the best of people are my people ثم الذين يلونهم the second generation he said three generations he said خير الناس قرني the best are my generation the word in Arabic خير means أخير it's a superlative it's a superlative يعني أفعل أخير يعني the best of people is what خير الناس the best of people all people the ألف اللام here استغرقية it means all of the people who's the best خير الناس قرني my generation the prophets generation who's the prophets generation it was his companions me and my companions are the best who's next ثم الذين يلونهم and those who come after that's two that's the تابعين and then after that ثم الذين يلونهم the third generation the third ones so it's those three generations we call it the golden generation we call that the noble generation we call that the virtuous generation we call that pious predecessors we call them a set of us since they are the best of people يعني the prophets generation him and his companions and then they تابعين and then they تابعين we need to two things first of all attribute to ourselves to them we attribute ourselves to them we call ourselves سلفين attribute ourselves to them number two we live our lives the way that they lived it in terms of what they say in the religion we say it whatever they did in the religion we do it whatever they believed in the religion we believe it every statement that we say about this religion is a statement that we've taken from these three noble generation every action that we do is taken from these three noble generation and any belief that we have in our heart regarding this religion is taken from those three noble generation the حق منوطا بالتباع الصحابة رضي الله عنهم the truth والله is connected in following the companions والله the truth is connected with following the companions of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم they are a imma to self they're the head of the self when we say a self they're the forefront of the sahabas وأن الدين الحق and the true religion is what ما كان عليه الصحابة is what the companions were upon رضي الله عنهم سلافية is that to مثلوا الإسلام الصحيح سلافية means in simple terms what does it mean? it means the pure Islam the untampered Islam the clean Islam it refers to what الإسلام الغض الطريق the pure clean untampered untainted unchanged Islam كما جاء به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم as the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came with it قبل طروع المحدثات والبداع before innovation and newly invented matters happened in the religion إسلام أما السلافية is a term which is a synonym of what? it's a synonym of الإسلام الكامل الصحيح سلافية is a synonym it's a synonym of إسلام in its purest and completest sense it refers to إسلام at its purest most authentic and wholesome form also there are terms that are similar to السلافية but there are terms similar to السلاف which is what? أهل السنة والجماعة أهل السنة والجماعة أهل الحق أهل الأثر أهل الحديث الطائفة المنصورة الفرقة الناجية and other than those terms are all what? they are all a synonym of الإسلام بمفومها الكامل الصحيح it's a synonym of إسلام at its completest at its most authentic version brothers and sisters understand this point نبي الله محمد he came with a pure religion straight from Allah جيبريد gave the Quran to the Prophet the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم took that Quran and he passed it on to us صلى الله عليه وسلم the sunnah is a revelation from Allah the messenger conveyed it to his companions those companions they passed it on to the تابعين and those تابعين passed it on to the أتباع والتابعين صعابه passed it to the تابعين and the تابعين passed it to the أتباع والتابعين and the list went on that pure that pure Islam on the two sides there were innovations and groups that came طوايف came فرق came those are the فرق that we do not want to be associated with we are referring to that pure Islam from the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى يومنا هذا till today the messenger told us there's always going to be a group who are upon that path they don't turn right or left he said صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تزالوا طائفة من أمتي ظاهرين على الحق لا يضروا من خذلهم ولا من خالفهم حتى يأتي أمر الله على ذلك أو كما قال صلى الله عليه وسلم he said there's always going to be a group a group what are they طائفة a group ظاهرين على الحق they are always apparent they are always visible upon the truth they don't care about what people say لا يخافون في الله لو متلائم what the criticism of people say their statement their actions and their belief is all taken from the prophet عليه وسلم it is taken from the Quran it is taken from the صحابة the تابعين تصبقوا تابعين و هكذا they inherited it from each other ظاهرين على الحق لا يضروا من خذلهم ولا من خالفهم the one who deceives them and the one that opposes them doesn't harm them حتى يأتي أمر الله until the until the qiyamah comes there's going to be a group like that who are they they are the Salafi'un they are the Sunnah they are أهل الأثر they are الطائفة المنصورة الفرقة تناجيك whatever name you say it's the same as the other اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك it's the same as the other اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك اتشيك فرقي ولا حزاب like you find in other groups other groups their attribution is an attribution to or an affiliation to a particular group it is not attribution or affiliation to the Haq no it's not every group other than Salafiyah their affiliation and their attribution is to one of these two they are either attributed to what they are attributed to a person who started the group like the جهمية the جهمية are named after what they are named after جهمي من صفوان like the اشاعرة they are named after بالحسن الاشعري they are named after a person they are named after a person who came way after the صحابز انتابعين انتابعو تابعين or after all of that or they are attributed to a false notion that they believe in and misguided concept that they believe in they are attributed to that like the قدرية الخوارج they are attributed to what they are attributed to their deviated belief the خوارج لأنهم خرجوا they ex exited they left who did they leave the صحابز they left a Muslim body and the قدرية because they went against أهل السنة in the issue of قدر so they were called قدرية السلافية they are not being attributed to a particular individual and no they are not in any way shape or form attributed to what they are not attributed to a newly invented ideology that they came with neither of those two they are attributed to ال الحق they are attributed to the truth they are attributed to what the three golden generation that the prophet told us are the best of people if someone calls himself a Salafi should we accept that from them شكول إسلام من تيمية he said لا عيبة على من أضهر على مدهب السلاف وانتسب إليه وعتز إليه فليجبوا قبولوا ذلك منه بالتفاق فإن مدهب السلاف إلا يقولوا إلا حقا في المثال في المثال 49 إبنو تيميس وانتز مجموعة الفتاة لا يوجد تفاق على شخص يكتب منه who attributes himself to the مدهب السلاف who comes out and says I'm على مدهب السلاف الصالح there's no blame on that person what he's doing is very good وانتسب إليه وانتصب إليه وعتز إليه فليجبوا قبولوا وعتز إليه بل يجبوا قبولوا ذلك منه بالاتفاق فإن مدهب السلاف إلا يقولوا إلا حقا it is obligatory to accept that from him by unanimous agreement we accept that from him if he says I am a Salafi we accept it from him then a Salafi is not a group you don't have to have a membership card or you don't have to file an application form and wait for the approval it's none of that a person comes up to us and says أنا على مدهب السلاف الصالح we accept it from him shate away we accept it from the person this is by unanimous agreement فإن مدهب السلاف إلا يقولوا إلا حقا because the madhab of the Salaf is nothing except the truth ابنه تيمي زي this and the base and evidence for the statement of شيخه الإسلامي ابنه تيمي and the base and the evidence for the statement of شيخه الإسلامي ابنه تيمي is قوله تعالى وانها ذا صراطي مستقيمة فالتبيعو ولا تتبيعو السبولة فتفرق بكم عن سبيله ذلك مصاكم به لعلكم تتقون الله سبحانه وتعالى يسد وانها ذا صراطي that's my path فالتبيعوه follow my path ولا تتبعو السبول do not follow these other paths follow my path the prophet is saying وانها ذا الصراطي this is my path يعني the path of Allah follow the path of Allah عز وجل يعني follow the path of the مسلم صلى الله عليه وسلمة ولا تتبعو السبولة and do not follow the other path the deviated paths so there are other paths there are other paths ولا تتبعو السبولة فتفرق بكم عن سبيله it will take you away from the straight path ذلك مصاكم به لعلكم تتقون this آية عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله تعالى عنه he mentioned he said خطة لنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على الأرض خطة the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he made a line on the road on the on the on the earth and he took a tweak عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم and he made a line on the earth ثم خطة خطوطا عن يميني وعن شمالي and the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he made lines on the left and on the right نبي الله محمد after he recited this verse for them he wants to explain it to them he wants them to really understand what this آية is saying and this is what they say in English a picture draws more than a thousand words he wants them to truly understand take this information in because this is a big matter the division of the ummah the disunity of the ummah the pharaq and the groups coming out in Islam and he the prophet wants his sahabas to be upon clarity he said to them he took a tweak he made a path on the earth and then he made paths on the right and on the left عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم then the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said هاد سبيل الله this is the path of Allah the middle path the straight path is Allah's path this is the path that is going to take you to Jannah then the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said on the left and on the right there are there are paths on every single one of those paths there's a shaitan calling the people to it there's a da'i on the top of that path on YouTube calling you to that hellfire he's calling you to that misguidance the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم instructed his companions and us to follow that straight path صلى الله عليه وسلم how much more do you want the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to explain it to you what more clarity do you need if that's not going to make matters clear for you that you are at a time of great fitan disunity quarrels argumentations disputations you need to focus on what is that straight path وصلى الله عليه وسلم وذي تقوله سوف يتواجده وخالق يتواجده سوف يتواجده وبكر يتواجده سوف يتواجده كل of us have our difference in thinking our logic is not the same so whose rationality are we going to come back to whose rationale are we going to use as a reference point everyone has a thinking process is different from the other everyone perceives things in different ways the Quran in this one is judging us that's the haqam that we go back to ومختلفتم فيه من شيء فحكموا إلى الله you do not dispute one another in a matter except that the ruling is taken back to the Quran in the sunnah فإنت نازعتم فيه شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسول إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر if you truly believe والله everything you dispute in taken back to the Quran in the sunnah your answers for your problems you'll find it in the Quran in the sunnah it's right there in front of you وصول الله سبحانه وتعالى يسانين القرآن إن الدينة عند الله الاسلام the religion Allah accepts is Islam and what did I say before السلافية بمفهوميها العام السلافية what does it mean it means السلافية means what الإسلام بمفهوميها الكامل الصحيح السلافية is what is Islam at its whole complete authentic version that's what Salafiyah is إن الدينة عند الله الاسلام الله أصول سيزن القرآن وما أتاكم الرسول فقوضوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا anything that the Prophet ﷺ gives to you take from it and anything he prohibits you from stay away from stay away from it الله أصول سيزن القرآن وإن تطيعوه تهتدوه if you obey him and if you obey the Prophet ﷺ you'll be guided الله أصول سيزن ندأ آية اتبعو ما أنزل إليكم الربكم ولا تتبعو من دوني أولياء قليلا ما تذكرون الله سبحانه وتعالى he said follow اتبعو ما أنزل إليكم follow the Qur'an that has come down on to you the sunnah follow the athar that have come from the sahabas follow them and they are unanimous agreement follow that ولا تتبعو من دوني أولياء don't follow particular individuals don't follow a particular individual that opposed the Qur'an and the sunnah in a matter however how high that person may be and how noble that person may be don't follow the revelation الله أصول سيزن القرآن ثم جعلناك على شريعة من الأمر فاتبعها ولا تتبع أهواء الذين لا يعلمون إنهم لا يولو عنك من الله شياء الله سبحانه وتعالى he said ثم جعلناك على شريعة من الأمر فاتبعها ولا تتبع أهواء الذين لا يعلمون we have made you Muhammad upon a legislation we have set a path for you we have given you a religion فاتبعها follow it ولا تتبع أهواء الذين لا يعلمون do not follow the paths of those who don't know anyone who goes against the shari'a is from من الذين لا يعلمون he's from the people who don't know it's the shari'a or it's guidance سلفية it resembles following the messengers صلى الله عليه وسلم surrendering to what he commanded us صلى الله عليه وسلم following his تابعين يعني the sahabas those who followed him following the sahaba رضي الله عنه في أمور الدين كلها علميها وعمليها following the sahabas you want in all of the religion whether it be issues of عقيدة or issues of fiq we follow them الله سبحانه وتعالى he connected the truth following the companions and their methodology رضي الله عنه and to tread on their path والسيري على طريقهم and to follow their path وأو جبال الله made obligatory on us أخذت ديني منهم تلاقيا وفهمة that we take the transmission of the religion that they transmitted to us we take that from them whatever they've transmitted we accept it from them وفهمة and we understand the religion the way that they understood it فكما أننا نتلقى عنهم نصوص الوحييني فكذلك نتلقى عنهم فهمهما والعمل بهمهما the way that we take the Quran from them we say أبو بكر transmitted this Quran to us and عمر and عثمان and صحابهs we also take their understanding on these verses how is it possible that you take their transmission but you don't take their understanding we take both of it from them رضي الله تعالى عنه الله says in the Quran فإن آمنه بمثلي ما آمنتم به فقد اهتده if you believe in الله عز وجل the way that they believed in Allah then you will be truly guided the messengers صلى الله عليه وسلم he said in a hadith this hadith 16 companions narrated from the prophets 16 companions this hadith has reached حد التواتر multitude narration mass transmission it is a famous hadith known as حديث الافتراق the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said ستفترق أمته على 73 فرق my umma are going to be divided into 73 groups كلها في النار إلا واحدة all of them are going to be in the hellfire except one 72 of the groups are going to be in the hellfire and one group is going to make it to Jannah the sahabas they said من هي يا رسول الله what is that one group من هي يا رسول الله what is that one group that's going to be saved who are they the prophet said الجماعة the group who were the group that was alive at that time صحابة رسول الله يقومي they were the group they were the جماعة that day the prophet said the people are going to be saved are the جماعة the group صحابة in another narration the prophet told the صلى الله عليه وسلم who are they they said انا عليه واصحابي anyone who is upon that which me and my companions are upon so if you want to be from the saved group you have to be upon whose part the part of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم you also have to be on the part of these companions that is what salvation is this حديث حديث رفتراق it tells us that the ummah are going to be divided into how many groups 73 groups 72 are going to be in the house fire and 72 are going to be in the house fire and one group is going to be in جماعة this حديث حديث رفتراق my aim and objective is to insha'Allah تعالى speak about it in great details I'm going to be making a series إن شاء الله تعالى where I will be speaking about وصول الفراق الضالة the foundations of the misguided groups السلسلة إن شاء الله تعالى but all of the groups that deviated from that straight path of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم go back to five all of the groups who oppose the path of the prophet and his companions are five groups and this is the order that they were in the first group are the خوارج the second group are the روافضة the third group is the قدرية the fourth group is the مرجع and the fifth group is the صوفية all of the groups that deviated they go back to one of those five إن شاء الله تعالى if I live on I'm going to explain this حديث by going through these five فراق these five groups and I'm going to be speaking about them إن شاء الله تعالى in two ways the historical side and how they came about and I'm also going to be speaking about their عقيد and what they believed إن شاء الله تعالى but in this series I will not be speaking about it but this حديث showed us that the أمة is going to be divided into 73 72 are going to be in the hellfire and only one group is going to make it three who is that one group that's going to make it through the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم didn't say فلان فلان فلان فلان he didn't he connected it to a description that you and I can come with which is what ما أنا عليه وَالصحابي anyone who is upon that which me and my companions are upon if you follow the Prophet's path and the companion's path then you are from the saved sect you can live in Timbuktu you can live in China you can live in Toronto you can live in London you can live in Paris you can live in Istanbul you can live in Addis Ababa it doesn't matter that's the description that's needed for me ما أنا عليه وَالصحابي whatever me and my companions were upon you are a selfie whether you call yourself it or not it doesn't matter that's what it is the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم emphasized on this particular point more and this is going to be the last hadith for this series this is going to be the last حديث for today's episode is حديث عرباظ بن سارية where he said the Prophet said إنهما يعيش منكم whoever from amongst you is alive who lives فسيرا خلافا كتيرا he's going to see a lot of argumentations if you live on after me you are going to see a lot of خلاف a lot of difference of opinions the Prophet then told his companions he won't just tell them a problem and not tell them the solution that's not the way of the Prophet عليه وسلم أبدا there's a problem he tells them the solution what did he say to them he said hold on to my sunnah and the sunnah of the rightly guided خلافا عليكم بسنة وسنة الخلافا إراشي دين المهديين أضوا عليها بالنواجد وإياكم ومحدتات الأمور the Prophet said hold on to my sunnah and the sunnah of my rightly guided خلافا the Prophet didn't just say hold on to my path he didn't he said hold on to the path of my noble companions أبي بك العمر أكما أنه علي then the Prophet told us something else which is the opposite of the path of his and his companions he and his companions there's a path opposite to it what is that called it's called بدا إياكم ومحدتات الأمور stay away from that the newly invented matters the innovations that are going to be brought into the religion stay away from that stay away from that إياكم ومحدتات الأمور how can we stay away from it the Hadith itself told us how to stay away from it which is what تمسكوا بها وعدوا عليها بالنواجد hold on to the sunnah of the Prophet and the sunnah of the rightly guided خلافا hold on to it with your mowlet teeth if you hold on to it softly you're going to give it to the innovation don't hold on to it hard strong don't compromise don't compromise the Prophet told us سيأتي على الناس زمانون المتمسكوا بديني كالقابل على الجمرة there's going to come a time the one who's holding on to his religion who doesn't want to let go it's like he's holding a hot charcoal he's holding it but he's burning he wants to let go but if he lets go, he's let go of his religion but he can't hold on to it because he's burning him because everybody's insulting him everybody's calling him names he's considered to be an extremist he's this he's that there will come a time like that but brothers hold on to your Deen don't in any way shape or form turn away from that way إن شاء الله تعالى I'm going to stop there for today's episode إذن إلهي الكريم anything I might have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me إن شاء الله and his
