- In every time period there will be fitan so we must look to the Salaf to see how they addressed it
- From the deception of the Shayṭān is that he casts doubts and whispers to the hearts and seeks to cause division
- What gives the Salaf salvation is what will give us salvation, the time period changes, the principles do not
- The methodology of Islām has been laid out
- We should accept the haqq (truth) when it comes (and not be emotional and argumentative)
- After rejecting the truth, all that’s left is misguidance
- For those who abandon studying ʿaqīdah and shy away from issues of manhaj, they should fear for themselves in times of fitnah
- No one can escape fitnah, you will be tried and compelled to take correct positions
- With each fitnah, it’s the same people each time who are confused, and it is the same people who are firm, this is because their hearts are salīm
- There are those who leave clarity and engage in spreading doubts, they are attracted to this and pursue it
- There are those who follow their desires instead of their dīn, putting aside the principles of Islām to reach a personal goal
- It is amazing to see people speculate about the scholars, their justice, their uprightness, when people have not sat with them and seen their manners and behaviour
- No matter if you’re a student of knowledge or a layman, do not sacrifice the unity and togetherness of your community for the sake of personal dispute and conflict because your animosity and its affect on others will be your responsibility
- The Salaf followed the Sunnah and wouldn’t give it up for anyone (a given speaker, tribe, countryman, entourage etc.)
- This daʿwah requires men, the predecessors (Salaf) sacrificed greatly to protect the dīn of Allāh, do we honour this dīn like they did?
