And what is required is to call the Muslims to stand steadfast upon the Religion of Allāh, and to uphold His Sharīʿah and to co-operate in doing good, and to fear Allāh. By this, their ranks will unite and their word will be one, and they will be a single body, a single building and a single army in opposition to their enemies.
Proceeding Upon Knowledge
Imām al-Bukhārī (d.256H) – raḥimahullāh- said:
‘‘Chapter: Knowledge comes before speech and actions, as Allāh – the Most High – said:
‘‘So have knowledge that none has the right to be worshipped except Allāh, and seek forgiveness for …
I say: There is not either in the Book or the Sunnah that which allows multiple groups and parties.
Al-ʿAllāmah Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn
The Fatāwá of Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn Bāz
[Q]: What is the obligation upon the Muslim scholars with regards to the large number of jam’iyyaat (societies) and jamāʿāt (parties) in the Islamic lands and elsewhere, and with regards to the differences that exist between them, to the point that each group declares others to be misguided. Do you not see that it is befitting to enter into explaining the like of this…
Therefore, the key to a return of the glory of Islām is:
Implementation of beneficial knowledge and establishing righteous and correct actions, and this is a very great affair with the Muslims cannot reach, except through the methodology (manhaj) of taṣfiyah (purification and correction) and tarbiyah (education and cultivation).
Purifying the Islamic ʿaqīdah from that which is alien to it, such as shirk, taʿtīl, taʿwīl, refusing authentic aḥādīth, because they are connected to matters of ʿaqīdah, and their like.
Imām al-AlbānīThese being two very great obligations. By the first of these …
Splitting up (tafarruq) is not from the Religion, because the Religion commands us with unity, and to be one jamāʿah (community), and one Ummah upon the ʿaqīdah of tawḥīd, and upon following the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam).
Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn BāzAn important set of questions and answers surrounding: the importance of ʿaqīdah, the harm of multiple Islamic groups (and movements), and the incumbency of following the manhaj of the salaf.
Splitting up (tafarruq) is not from the Religion, because the Religion commands us with unity, and to be one jamāʿah (community), and one Ummah upon the ʿaqīdah of tawḥīd, and upon following the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
Al-ʿAllāmah Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān
Firstly, al-Daʿwah al-Salafīyyah is the pure Religion which calls to Tawḥīd and sincerity of worship. It is the daʿwah or the call to belief in Allāh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgement, and belief in Qadar (pre-Decree). Therefore, al-Daʿwah al-Salafīyyah is the daʿwah of all of the Prophets, from Nūh who was the first Prophet, all the way to Muḥammad ﷺ who was the last and final Prophet and Messenger to be sent to mankind.
Shaykh ʿUbayd ibn ʿAbdullāh al-Jābirī
Al-daʿwah al-Salafīyyah is the daʿwah of the people to act in accordance with that which the Messenger of…
Yes they bring a salafī to give a talk, but they spread matters that are innovation, and they bring someone to the same place at which you spoke in today, tomorrow they bring someone who contradicts that. Have you understood? So the reality is that I do not allow this, nor do I hold that it will rectify and put them aright. And we advise our brothers who go to them, and we give them information about them, so many of them, and all praise is for Allāh. Understand the affair!
Al-ʿAllāmah ʿUbayd ibn ʿAbdullāh al-Jābirī
Our daʿwah and our ʿaqīdah is more beloved to us than our own selves, our wealth and our offspring. So we are not prepared to part with it for gold, nor silver. We say this so that no one may have hope in buying out our daʿwah, nor should he think that it is possible for him to purchase it from us for dīnār or dirḥam. Since the politicians already know this about us, so they have despaired of buying it from us with granted positions or wealth.
