ما نصيحتكم لأهل السنة في جزر المالديف؟
نصيحتنا لهم بطلب العلم لأن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول من يرد الله به خيرا يفقهه في الدين و يقول صلى الله عليه و سلم خيركم من تعلم القران و علمه {يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ}و العلم يعتبر فضيلة للعبد و يعتبر نورا أسماه الله عز و جل :{أَوَمَنْ كَانَ مَيْتًا فَأَحْيَيْنَاهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُ نُورًا يَمْشِي بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ كَمَنْ مَثَلُهُ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِنْهَا}و يقول الله :{وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِى مَا الْكِتَـبُ وَلاَ الاِْيمَـنُ وَلَـكِنْ جَعَلْنَـهُ نُوراً نَّهْدِى بِهِ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِن عِبَادِناً وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِى إِلَى صِرَط مُّسْتَقِيم}فعلم كتاب الله و سنة رسوله هدى قال الله عز وجل :{هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً}و الهدى هو العلم النافع والدين الحق هو العمل الصالح هذا الذي أوصيكم به بطاعة الله سبحانه و تعالى و اجتاب البدع و الشركيات و الخرافات ...و تطبقوا السنة لقد قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم :(عليكم بسنتي وسنة الخلفاء الراشدين المهديين ، عضّوا عليها بالنواجذ ، وإياكم ومحدثات الأمور)و الله عز و جل يقول:{لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ}و يقول:{وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْراً أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالاً مُّبِيناً}و يقول الله سبحانه:{فَلاَ وَرَبِّكَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّىَ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لاَ يَجِدُواْ فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُواْ تَسْلِيماً}و يقول عز وجل :{لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ }...

Clearing the Doubts- Is Ahlu Sunnah of three groups? The Ash'aris? Maturidis? and Salafis?

Imaam Ibn al-Uthaimeen - may Allaah have mercy on him - said: "....whoever says that Ahl us-Sunnah are three groups: the Salafees, the Ash'arees and the Maatooreedees - then such a person is indeed mistaken. Rather we say: How can all three be considered Ahl us-Sunnah and they differ with each other? What is there after Truth, except misguidance. How can they all be Ahl us-Sunnah, whilst each one of them refutes the other - this is not possible - except if it is possible to reconcile the opposites. There is no doubt however, that one of them is truly Ahl us-Sunnah - but which one? Is it the Ash'arees, the Maturidees or the Salafees? Whichever of them agrees with the Sunnah is considered to be Ahl us-Sunnah, whilst whichever of them opposes it is not. So we say: The Salaf are Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, and this description cannot be true for anyone else other than them. So how can those who oppose the Sunnah be called Ahl us-Sunnah - this is not possible. How is it possible to say Ahl us-Sunnah are of three differing groups, but we say that they are in agreement? So where is the agreement and concensus? Rather, Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah are those who hold on to what the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) and his Companions were upon, and to the aqeedah of the Salaf - until the Day of Judgement - and they are the Salafees." Sharh Aqeedatil-Waasitiyyah (1/123)

Clearing the Doubts- Salafiyyah is a hizb?

Shaykh al-Allaamah Doctor Saalih al-Fawzaan

Question: Is Salafiyyah a hizb (party) from the various ahzaab (parties) and is ascribing to them blameworthy?

Answer: As-Salafiyyah (i.e. the Salafis) is the Saved Sect, and they are Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah. It is not a hizb (party) from amongst the various parties, those which are called "parties" today. Rather they are the Jamaa’ah, the Jamaa’ah upon the Sunnah and upon the Deen (religion). They are Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah. The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said, "There will not cease to be a group from my Ummah manifest and upon the truth not being harmed by those who forsake them neither by those who oppose them" and he (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also said, "And this Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of them in the Hellfire but one". They said, which one is this O Messenger of Allaah? He replied, "They are those who are upon what I and my companions are upon today". Hence Salafiyyah is a group of people (i.e. the Salafis) upon the madhhab of the Salaf, upon what the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) and his companions were upon and it is not a hizb from amongst the contemporary groups present today. Rather it is the very old Jamaa’ah, from the time of the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) which inherits (this way) and continues, and which never ceases to be upon the manifest truth until the establishment of the Hour, as he (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) has informed (us)." (Cassette: "at-Tahdheer min al-Bid’ah" second cassette, delivered as a lecture in Hawtah Sadeer, 1416H).

By Allaah, let them adhere to al-Islaam and al-Aqeedah and al-Manhaj, and warn of Hizbiyyah (partisanship) and the madh'hab (way) of Sayyid Qutb and takfeer (excommunication of muslims), and the view of the Khawarij. Warn against the Hizbiyyoon (Partisans) who (falsely) ascribe themselves as Salafiyyoon, warn about them!; As in this time there are those Hizbiyyoon who ascribe themselves to Salafiyyah but in reality they are far away from it. Warn about them strongly! Be careful of them. Tayyib , May Allaah bless you.

The Names of 'Firqaat an-Najiyyah' (Saved Sect) and their meanings!

The Noble Shaykh, Al-'Allaamah Doctor Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan said:

As this sect is the only sect safe from going astray, it is required to know its various names and characteristics, so you can follow it . It has great names which distinguish it from the other sects, and most important of these names and characteristics are:

Firqaat an-Najiyya (Saved Sect), Taaifah al-Mansoorah (Victorious Group), Ahlu Sunnah wal-Jama'ah (People of Sunnah and Jama'ah), and the meaning of them are as follows:

* As for Firqaat an-Najiyya (Saved Sect), they are the ones saved from the hell-fire, since the Prophet -sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam- said, ( كلها في النار إلا واحدة ) "All are in the hell-fire except one". This means, they are not in the hell-fire.
* They adhere to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Prophet - sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam - and it was the first ones of the former migrants and supporters who said the Prophet - peace be upon him -: (who was like what I am today and my companions). And they upon that which the first of the Muhaajiroon and Ansaar are upon, who said that the Prophet - sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam -:( هم من كان على مثل ما أنا عليه اليوم وأصحابي ) "They are upon what I and my companions are upon today."
* * And their people are Ahlu Sunnah wal-Jama'ah (People of Sunnah and Jama'ah): They are a distinguished by two great distinguishing factors:

1. They hold on to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah - sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam -to the point that they became its people. But as for the other sects they hold on to their own whims and desires, and they are not attributed to the Sunnah, but they are attributed to bid'ah and misguidance as it is with Qadariyyah and Murji'ah, or they are attributed to their founders as it is with Jahmiyyah, or they are attributed to their ugly actions as it is with Raafidah and Khawarij.

2. The second factor is: And they are the people of the Jama'ah, they gather themselves upon Haqq (truth) and not upon Tafarruq (separation, sectarianism). But as for the other sects they do not gather themselves upon Haqq, but they follow their whims and desires.

* * They are the Taaifah al-Mansoorah (Victorious Group) up until the Day of Qiyamah, because they give victory to the Deen of Allaah and Allaah gives them victory, as Allaah ta'ala said: (إِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ ) ( If you help (in the cause of) Allaah, He will help you, and make your foothold firm). (Muhammad 47:7) and as the Prophet - sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam - ( لا يضرهم من خذلهم ولا من خالفهم حتى يأتي أمر الله تبارك وتعالى وهم على ذلك ) "those who abandon them will not harm them, until the command of Allaah tabaaraka wata'aala comes about".

Clearing the Doubts- Warning about Ahlul Bid'ah is Gheebah?

الشيخ ابن عثيمين رحمه الله:
الكلام في أهل البدع ومن عندهم أفكار غير سليمة أو منهج غير مستقيم هذا من النصيحة وليس من الغيبة , بل هو من النصيحة لله ولكتابه ولرسوله وللمسلمين , فإذا رأينا أحدا مبتدعا ينشر بدعته فعلينا أن نبين أنه مبتدع , حتى يسلم الناس من شره وإذا رأينا شخص عنده أفكارتخالف ما كان عليه السلف فعلينا أن نبين ذالك , حتى لا يغتر الناس به

Shaykh Saalih al Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah) said:
Speaking about Ahlul Bid'ah who has with them deviant ideologies or who follow other then the correct manhaj, this is from Nasyha and this is not Gheebah. This is from Nasyha to Allaah,to His Book, to His Messengers and to the Muslimoon. If we see an Innovator calling to bid'ah then it is for us to make bayaan of him that he is an innovator, so that the people would know his evil. And if we see an individual who has an ideology which opposes what the Salaf were upon then it is for us to make bayaan of him too, so that the people are not deceived by him.

Light of Furqaan نورالفرقان

The da’wah of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and his Companions is established firmly upon al-Furqaan. Allaah the Most High said:
تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَالَمِينَ نَذِيرًا
“Blessed be He Who sent down the Furqaan (criterion and distinction between Truth and falsehood) upon His slave, that he may be a warner to the 'Aalameen (mankind and jinn).” [1]
And from the names of the Qur’aan is Al-Furqaan. And from the names of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) is Al-Mufarriq and Al-Faariq. So therefore the separation and distinction between Haqq (Truth) and baatil (falsehood) is from the foundations of the Deen and it’s fundamental principle.

And (from) the characteristics of Ahlul-Haqq is that they differentiate between Truth and falsehood, and they strive for the distinction of Truth from falsehood , and this is taken from the saying of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) regarding the companions who will be shaded by Allaah in His shade on the day when there will is no shade except His shade:
(( Two men, they love each other for the Sake of Allaah, they come together due to it and separate due to it )) [2]
So Taqwaa is the path of uniting the people of the manhajul-Haqq (the methodology of the Truth) and their coming together. And Taqwaa is the path of differing with the people of the false methodologies (manaahij al-baatilah). Allaah the Most High said:
يِا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إَن تَتَّقُواْ اللّهَ يَجْعَل لَّكُمْ فُرْقَاناً“O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allaah, He will grant you Furqaan.” [3]
So the mu’min has Furqaan by which he separates and distinguishes between the people of the deviated methodologies and false statements, and between the people of the methodology of the Haqq, the people of the one manhaj and the Straight Path. And like this the Companions of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) have mentioned, when al-Miqdaad bin Aswad said, from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم), that he “came with Furqaan. By it he separated between Truth and falsehood, and separated between a father and his son.” It was collected by Ahmad and authenticated by Al-Albaanee.

So the teacher, the Sunnee, he teaches his students Furqaan and makes them able to distinguish between Truth and falsehood. As for the teacher, the cheat, who makes most of his subject matter - I say most of it, not all of it – affiliating with the people of the da’waatul-baatilah and he agrees with what the mashayikhah of the jamaa’aat as-siyaasiyyah al-Islaamiyyah (the Islaamic political groups), this shaykh, the cheat, has extinguished the light of Furqaan that Al-Haqq (Allaah) said regarding it:
وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحًا مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلاَ الإِيمَانُ وَلَكِن جَعَلْنَاهُ نُورًا نَّهْدِي بِهِ مَنْ نَّشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِنَا وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ“And thus We have sent to you (O Muhammad) Roohan (an Inspiration, and a Mercy) by Our Command. You knew not what the Book is, nor what is Eemaan? But We have made it (this Qur'aan) a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our slaves We will. And verily, you are indeed guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path.” [4]
And the asl of Al-Furqaan is at-tafreeq (differentiation and distinction) between two things and the separation between them by manifesting the proof and the victory. And for that, Ummul-Mu’mineen, ‘Aa’ishah (رضي الله عنها) used to magnify Al-Furqaan due to its importance and greatness. So she would say: “By the One Who sent down the Furqaan upon Muhammad!” Collected by Ahmad and authenticated by Al-Albaanee.

So whoever is most in following closely and adhering tightly to what the Companions of Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم) were upon is the greatest in Furqaan. And whoever is farthest from ittibaa’ of the companions is the farthest from Furqaan and intertwines upon himself and his students the light of the Truth with the darkness of falsehood. So Blessed is He Who sent down Al-Furqaan upon His slave, that he may be a warner to the 'Aalameen.

And I ask Allaah, Al-‘Aliyy al-‘Adheem that He establish my brothers, the companions of the website of Tasjeelaat Nidaa’ al-Islaam upon manifesting al-Furqaan between Haqq and baatil and guide them in that.
