The difference between the salafi and the rest of the world is aqeedah.,with the majority of the world following Ashari/Maturidi/Tahawi.What I find amazing is that salafis declare kufr on those following Ashari/Maturidi aqeedah but use the books of Imam Nawawi.,Imam Qurubi,Ibn Hajar Asqalani,and other scholars who were all Ashari in their aqeedah.

[@sanaullasharief5319]

[@a-rmohamed1167]

+sanaulla sharief It is public knowledge he was first of the mutazilite ,then formulated the aqeedah of ahlus sunnah and as Sheikh Yusuf Qardawi said "The world is Ashari".We are forbidden to declare kufr on another group unless it violates a basic belief of Islam.(eg another prophet after ours)The salafis/wahabis who declare kufr on Asharis beware--its a boomerang and hits you right back in the face(based on hadith)

[@hammadahmad6312]

Salafis are Athari in Aqeedah, which is an accepted School of Aqeedah, but the problem is them not accepting the others and calling them Mushriks. Unlike Traditional Sunnis, who accept the acceptable Ashari, Maturidi, Tahawi and Athari Schools. Same goes with their Fiqh, they are rooted in Hanbali Fiqh which developed over time to what we see as Salafi Fiqh, basically Hanbali Fiqh can also be called Salafi Fiqh. Again, their Fiqh is acceptable. But the problem is not accepting the other Fiqhs and just plain bashing them instead of having proper academic discussions.

[@muhammadjoshua7464]

@@hammadahmad6312 not really, Imam at tahawi is also an athari but He doesn't say Allah has parts or contained with directions. I think the current Salafy aqeeda is more resembling the dhahiri (literalist) or mushabbih (anthropomorphist)

You do not need to watch a youtube video nor do extensive research to get to the conclusion that Salafis are not on the Haqq or the path of the Prophet (saw), you simply need to spend upwards of five minutes with one or two of them in a room. Everything about their manners and personalities is in stark contrast to the prophetic tradition they expertly rant about. And no, I'm not a "Sufi", rather simply someone who is studying the deen and committing to the fundamentals of our faith and communicating my personal observations.

Even, they interpret from their own point of view. They are cherry picking. Im former of salafism, i found some contradiction between their jargon and their act. and the way they cover up MBAW history is disgraceful. And this makes me suspicious. But I know, most of salafi followers will not be interested in reading the history of the beginning of their creed. They like come in 21 century, if they found any opinion, argumen, statement from other recent or previous scholars that isnt same with their point of view, they will violate them instantly. Arrogance is the core and the fuel of this creed. Because i have experienced and watched on its followers.

By simply calling themselves 'Salafi', when they are not actually of the first three glorious generations, they seek to give themselves a veneer of authority and superiority that is mostly baseless. In reality, they should be called pseudo-Salafi. It is ironic enough that their references (like Albani and crew) are further from the salaf (in time, place, and thought) than the traditional authorities of the four schools. Also, I have yet to find a self-proclaimed salafi that can quote scholars who actually were members of the salaf (like Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, Urwah ibn Zubayr, etc.)

Very unfortunate to see people just throwing arguments without any authentic reference! Curious mind wants to know what kind of scholarship you guys have while criticizing Abdal Hakim Murad?

[@mhmd_old7]

That his entire argument is bulit upon philosophy, he refers to the scholars (being at a specific time period). But if you open up a book on history or scholarship, you'll see all sorts of devaints pop up. So you end up with a need for an earlier source to refer back to, which is the Salaf (3 generations from the Sahabah to their followers to their followers' followers). Otherwise if you interpret it differently, it makes kuffar zanadiqah like the Jahmiyyah to be followed. It makes even simple innovators to be followed as scholars and taken from being made equal to the actual reliable scholars. Now what he says is quite opposite to that, in the case that he doesn't talk about following the Salaf themselves directly (when they had scholars and books and teachings). He talks about following the 4 Imams of the Madhahib and later scholars. Which is complete nonesense of course purely from a fiqh perspective due to there being no evidence of the obligation to follow them. The Asha'irah on the other hand whom he mentions in the video base their aqeedah on philosophical interpretations of the Quran and Sunnah. Which again, has no basis whatsoever in the Quran or Sunnah and is simply innovation.

Assalamo aleykom, I love you in God. In Sahih Muslim [1847, chapter of obligation to stay with the majority (Jamaa) in period of fitna], the Prophet warns us about the predicators that invite people to hell and that we must stick to the majority of the Muslims. It has been narrated on the authority of Hudhaifa b. al-Yaman who said: People used to ask the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about the good times, but I used to ask him about bad times fearing lest they overtake me. I said: Messenger of Allah, we were in the midst of ignorance and evil, and then God brought us this good (time through Islam). Is there any bad time after this good one? He said: Yes. I asked: Will there be a good time again after that bad time? He said: Yes, but therein will be a hidden evil. I asked: What will be the evil hidden therein? He said: (That time will witness the rise of) the people who will adopt ways other than mine and seek guidance other than mine. You will know good points as well as bad points. I asked: Will there be a bad time after this good one? He said: Yes. (A time will come) when there will be people standing and inviting at the gates of Hell. Whoso responds to their call they will throw them into the fire. I said: Messenger of Allah, describe them for us. He said: All right. They will be a people having the same complexion as ours and speaking our language. I said: Messenger of Allah, what do you suggest if I happen to live in that time? He said: You should stick to the main body of the Muslims and their leader. I said: If they have no (such thing as the) main body and have no leader? He said: Separate yourself from all these factions, though you may have to eat the roots of trees until death comes to you and you are in this state. In Sahih Bukhari : Volume 9, Book 88, Number 206: Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman: The people used to ask Allah's Apostle about the good but I used to ask him about the evil lest I should be overtaken by them. So I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We were living in ignorance and in an (extremely) worst atmosphere, then Allah brought to us this good (i.e., Islam); will there be any evil after this good?" He said, "Yes." I said, 'Will there be any good after that evil?" He replied, "Yes, but it will be tainted (not pure.)'' I asked, "What will be its taint?" He replied, "(There will be) some people who will guide others not according to my tradition? You will approve of some of their deeds and disapprove of some others." I asked, "Will there be any evil after that good?" He replied, "Yes, (there will be) some people calling at the gates of the (Hell) Fire, and whoever will respond to their call, will be thrown by them into the (Hell) Fire." I said, "O Allah s Apostle! Will you describe them to us?" He said, "They will be from our own people and will speak our language." I said, "What do you order me to do if such a state should take place in my life?" He said, "Stick to the group of Muslims and their Imam (ruler)." I said, "If there is neither a group of Muslims nor an Imam (ruler)?"

Allah Almighty is the final and only Judge. This is what should concern us all. A thorough and sincere reading of the Quran might help us realize that we will be judged by Allah SWT based on our words, actions, thoughts and intentions. While our words and actions are easier to assess and analyse, our thoughts and intentions are complicated and unknowable to us. It is only Allah Almighty who can truly know them and judge them. We all need to educate ourselves the best way we can and then make our choices in life. And we need to fear the Creator of the Worlds every moment of our lives on Earth.

First off, the video is misleading because he didn't say anything specifically targeting Salafis. He was making a general observation. Now if he was making a comment against salafis with those remarks, then he's making a strawman of the salafi position since no reputable salafi out there would say we understand the Quran and the Sunnah according to our own intellect and understanding, and that our understanding is more correct that the traditional scholars. In fact, it's the salafis who stress the importance of going to the understanding of the earliest 3 generations to understand the Quran and the Sunnah, and sticking to that understanding as much as possible. So if that's the case, then that's such a lie and misrepresentation of salafism

Buti: “If a Muslim sees a proof for something in the books he reads, is that a sufficient reason to disregard the madhhabs that contradict his understanding, even if he doesn’t know their evidences?” Salafi: “It is sufficient.” Buti: “A young man, newly religious, without any Islamic education, reads the word of Allah Most High “To Allah belongs the place where the sun rises and where it sets: wherever you turn, there is the countenance of Allah. Verily, Allah is the All-encompassing, the All-knowing (Qur’an 2:115), and gathers from it that a Muslim may face any direction he wishes in his prescribed prayers, as the ostensive purport of the verse implies. But he has heard that the four Imams unanimously concur upon the necessity of his facing towards the Kaaba, and he knows they have evidences for it that he is unaware of. What should he do when he wants to pray? Should he follow his conviction from the evidence available to him, or follow the Imam who unanimously concur on the contrary of what he has understood?” Salafi: “He should follow his conviction.” Buti: “And pray towards the east for example. And his prayer would be legally valid?” Salafi: “Yes. He is morally responsible for following his personal conviction.” Buti: “What if his personal conviction leads him to believe there is no harm in making love to his neighbor’s wife, or to fill his belly with wine, or wrongfully take others’ property: will all this be mitigated in Allah’s reckoning by “personal conviction”? Salafi: [He was silent for a moment, then said,] “Anyway, the examples you ask about are all fantasies that do not occur.” Buti: “They are not fantasies; how often the like of them occurs, or even stranger. A young man without any knowledge of Islam, its Book, its sunna, who happens to hear or read this verse by chance, and understands from it what any Arab would from its owtward purport, that there is no harm in someone praying facing any direction he wants-despite seeing people’s facing towards the Kaaba rather than any other direction. This is an ordinary matter, theoretically and practically, as long as there are those among Muslims who don’t know a thing about Islam. In any event, you have pronounced upon this example-imaginary or real-a judgement that is not imaginary, and have judged “personal conviction” to be the decisive criterion in any event. This contradicts your differentiating people into three groups: followers of scholars without knowing their evidence (muqallidin), followers of scholars’ evidence (muttabi‘in), and mujtahids.” Salafi: “Such a person is obliged to investigate. Didn’t he read any hadith, or any other Qur’anic verse?” Buti: He didn’t have any reference works available to him, just as you didn’t have any when you gave your fatwa on the question of [threefold] divorce. And he was unable to read anything other than this verse connected with facing the qibla and its obligatory character. Do you still insist that he must follow his personal conviction and disregard the Imams’ consensus?” Salafi: “Yes. If he is unable to evaluate and investigate further, he is excused, and it is enough for him to rely on the conclusions his evaluation and investigation lead him to.” Buti: “I intend to publish these remarks as yours. They are dangerous, and strange.” Salafi: “Publish whatever you want. I’m not afraid.” Buti: “How should you be afraid of me, when you are not afraid of Allah Mighty and Majestic, utterly discarding by these words the word of Allah Mighty and Majestic [in Sura al-Nahl] ‘Ask those who recall if you know not’ (Qur’an 16:43).” Salafi: “My brother,” he said, “These Imams are not divinely protected from error (ma‘sum). As for the Quranic verse that this person followed [in praying any direction], it is the word of Him Who Is Protected from All Error, may His glory be exalted. How should he leave the divinely protected and attach himself to the tail of the non-divinely-protected?” Buti: “Good man, what is divinely protected from error is the true meaning that Allah intended by saying, “To Allah belongs the place where the sun rises and where it sets . . .”-not the understanding of the young man who is as far as can be from knowing Islam, its rulings, and the nature of its Qur’an. That is to say, the comparison I am asking you to make is between two understandings: the understanding of this ignorant youth, and the understanding of the mujtahid Imams, neither of which is divinely protected from error, but one of which is rooted in ignorance and superficiality, and the other of which is rooted in investigation, knowledge, and accuracy.” Salafi: “Allah does not make him responsible for more than his effort can do.” Buti: “Then answer me this question. A man has a child who suffers from some infections, and is under the care of all the doctors in town, who agree he should have a certain medicine, and warn his father against giving him an injection of penicillin, and that if he does, he will be exposing the child’s life to destruction. Now, the father knows from having read a medical publication that penicillin helps in cases of infection. So he relies on his own knowledge about it, disregards the advice of the doctors since he doesn’t know the proof for what they say, and employing instead his own personal conviction, treats the child with a penicillin injection, and thereafter the child dies. Should such a person be tried, and is he guilty of a wrong for what he did, or not?” Salafi: [He thought for a moment and then said,] “This is not the same as that.” Buti: “It is exactly the same. The father has heard the unanimous judgement of the doctors, just as the young man has heard the unanimous judgement of the Imams. One has followed a single text he read in a medical publication, the other has followed a single text he has read in the Book of Allah Mighty and and Majestic. This one has gone by personal conviction, and so has that.” Salafi: “Brother, the Qur’an is light. Light. In its clarity as evidence, is light like any other words?” Buti: “And the light of the Qur’an is reflected by anyone who looks into it or recites it, such that he understands it as light, as Allah meant it? Then what is the difference between those who recall [Qur’an 16:43] and anyone else, as long as all partake of this light? Rather, the two above examples are comparable, there is no difference between them at all; you must answer me: does the person investigating-in each of the two examples-follow his personal conviction, or does he follow and imitate specialists?” Salafi: “Personal conviction is the basis.” Buti: “He used personal conviction, and it resulted in the death of the child. Does this entail any responsibility, moral or legal?” Salafi: “It doesn’t entail any responsibility at all.” Buti: I said, “Then let us end the investigation and discussion on this last remark of yours, since it closes the way to any common ground between you and me on which we can base a discussion. It is sufficient that with this bizarre answer of yours, you have departed from the consensus of the entire Islamic religion. By Allah, there is no meaning on the face of the earth for disgusting bigotry if it is not what you people have” (al-Lamadhhabiyya (b01), 99-108). Buti concludes the story by saying: I do not know then, why these people don’t just let us be, to use our own “personal conviction” that someone ignorant of the rules of religion and the proofs for them must adhere to one of the mujtahid Imams, imitating him because of the latter’s being more aware than himself of the Book of Allah and sunna of His messenger. Whatever the mistake in this opinion in their view let it be given the general amnesty of “personal conviction.” like the example of him who turns his back to the qibla and is his prayer is valid, or him who kills a child and the killing is “ijtihad” and “medical treatment” (ibid. 108). www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/nuh/buti.htm

Since the time Anas Bin Malek radiya Allah anhu said: if the prophet peace be upon him comes now among you, he will recognize the Salat "prayer". It is the Manjah that has been taken later on from Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal and his school, passing by Shaikh Al-Islam Ibn Tameyah and his great student Ibn Alqayyem. and for those dear brothers who would like to follow the truth, it's very good not to be judgmental, some "Salafi" brothers have the problem of Ujb "arrogance" but many Sufi brothers have the problem of going too far away from Quran and Sunnah. Allah made his Noble Quran easy for ALL Muslims. and he has said it many times in Surat Al-Qamar: "And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful?".

[@knightowl787]

The most important principles and teachings of Islam are very clear in the Quran and don't require commentary. It provides very clear guidance for daily living. But it definitely helps to have the commentary and insights of the scholars. So it isn't either..or but the middle way between extremes as advocated in the Quran. Use your own understanding AND the teachings of the scholars. Allah says in the Quran the religion of Islam is meant to be easy to understand and practice: 2:185 Allah desires ease for you and not hardship; 4:28 Allah desires to lighten things for you, for the human being has been created weak.

That's a missuse of the blessed verses of the noble Qur'an. And extreme arrogance to say that we (AS INFALLIBLES) can understand Quran without tafseer.

You deny all this when you say just the so called Salafis are the ones trying live like the Salaf would. No, all ahlul Sunnah try to do that. Salafis just don’t like what the tradition says.

The commonest reason why the anti-madhhab view develops is because they do not realise the depth of our religious tradition (Google: "Understanding the Four Madhhabs"). Especially those who grow up in non-Muslim country, who view the Islam of their fathers as 'cultural' and 'backward', and who are impressed by Saudi-trained, English-speaking 'scholars' (a word thrown around too often these days). If we just realised the legacy of our religion, we would cling onto it with our back teeth.

[@Jehan99100]

I love brother Murad and he has much knowledge but on this point here I must disagree with him. The Prophet (saw) warned us of a time when "ulama" will come and mislead the ummah. How can we know if we are being mislead if we blindly follow scholars and not question? Islam never had a clergy, we never had an exclusive group who speaks on behalf of God. I have nothing but respect for our past scholars, but they not infallible. This is why we should gain knowledge so we also can know the truth.

Also it is true that some groups of Salafis today do not know how to study or deal with the Fiqh/Jurispudence of the past Islamic scholars, many of them mixed up the study of the Usool ul-fiqh, Qawaa'id Fiqhiyyah and Fiqh, they study each one of these upon a different Fiqh Madhab, ignoring completely the fact that each Madhab had its own set of Usool ul-Fiqh, Qawaa'id and Fiqh.

I agree with his point and he right that Salafi’s often go to far and too extreme. I myself was susceptible to this, until I realised that Islamic jurisprudence is far more complicated and nuanced than to just ignore the concept of Madhabs entirely. However, in my experience the criticism of this brother is not entirely aimed at Salafi’s, as most of the Salafi’s I know also recognise the value of Mathabs. However, I will admit that it is still a problem of general understanding among many Salafi’s, who mistakenly think that they are free from Madhabs, while following scholars who themselves are Hanbali.

Be a true Salafi. Anyone who opposes this path though he is a Muslim but is an Ahlul Bidah.

It is shirk because, they claim to possess absolute knowledge of the ruling of God and His Messenger. They give God a direction and a form. The pious predecessors would attribute the opinion to themselves. They were people that knew God and His Messenger. They knew that no one’s understanding or intellect could encompass God’s religion. Now them psuedo-salafis aka wahhabis have monopoly on the religion. They are people of innovation(their rulings are based on personal convictions), going against the consensus. Dont let them fool you with "We follow the quran and sunnah" it is deceptive. They claim to understand the way, when they dont even get their knowledge through a chain of transmission that goes back to the Messenger(PBUH). But most of all they are dangerous to the Sha'ria.

My query is that why we, "believers", if applicable, struggling to invite people, around the world, to believe in a religion? Why don't we leave it to God's will, as per the verse's interpretation,?

Is that right? Thank you very much. Texas, USA
