Refuting Claims That the Salafī Methodology Is Unsuitable
Imām Muḥammad Amān al-Jāmī


There isn’t a methodology that is more ideal and suitable; rather, there isn’t a single suitable methodology other than the methodology of the Salaf of this Ummah—the Companions (رضي الله عنهم), the Tāba‘īn, and whoever followed their path and emulated their actions—because Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is the one who devised it. Therefore, disliking it undoubtedly conflicts with believing in him (صلى الله عليه وسلم).
Those who transmitted this methodology were those honourable men whom Allāh chose to accompany His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and whom He prepared to succeed him (صلى الله عليه وسلم). They are Abū Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān, ‘Ali, and their brothers (رضي الله عنهم). Therefore, is there a Muslim who believes that this methodology is not suitable?
