Bismillāhi
r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm, in the name of Allaah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Our
Call!
Our
call is to follow the Qur’an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the
Salaf as Saalih. The Prophet Muhammad (salallaahu alayhi wasallam)
mentioned in the famous Hadeeth, narrated by ‘Imraan bin Husayn:
“Verily
the best among you is my generation, then those who follow, and then those who
follow them…” (Saheeh Muslim)
Salafiyyah
is the call to remove all types of polytheism and innovations in worship and
return the people back to the same belief and methodology the Prophet left us
upon. It is the call to understand the Quran and Sunnah upon the understanding
of the Companions, for indeed our Prophet warned and informed us that this
Ummah will split into sects and parties.
The
Prophet (salallaahu alayhi wasallam) said,
“Indeed,
the people of the Book before you split-up into seventy-two sects. And this
nation will split-up into seventy-three sects, seventy two are in the Fire and
one is in Paradise.”

In
another narration;
“All
of them are in the Fire except one.” It was asked, ‘who is that one?’ He
replied, “That which I and my Companions are upon.”

authenticated by al-Haafidh al-’Iraaqee in Takhreejul-Ihyaa‘(3/199) and
al-Albaanee in as-Saheehah (no. 204))
[1]: We believe in Allaah and His Names and
Attributes, as they were mentioned in the Book of Allaah and in the Sunnah of
the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam), without tahreef (distortion),
nor ta‘weel (figurative interpretation), nor tamtheel (making
a likeness), nor tashbeeh (resemblance), nor ta’teel (denial).
[2]: We believe that calling upon the dead and
seeking aid from them, and similarly with the living, in that which no one
besides Allaah is capable of, is Shirk with Allaah. Likewise,
believing that charms and amulets can bring about benefit along with Allaah, or
without Allaah is Shirk, and carrying them without that belief is
superstition.
[3]: We take the Book and the Sunnah upon
their apparent meanings, and we do not perform ta‘weel, except through a
proof that necessitates ta‘weel (figurative interpretation) of the
Book and the Sunnah.
[4]: We believe that the Believers will see their
Lord in the Hereafter, without inquiry into the modality. And we believe in the
Intercession (ash-Shafaa’ah) and in the people of Tawheed being taken
out of the Fire.
[5]: We love the Companions (radiyallaahu ’anhum)
of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam), and we hate those
who speak against them. We believe that to speak ill of them is to speak ill of
the Religion, because they are the ones who conveyed it to us. And we love the
Family of the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) with love that is
permitted by the Sharee’ah.
[6]: We love the People of Hadeeth and
all of the Salaf of the Ummah from Ahlus-Sunnah.
[7]: We despise ’ilmul-kalaam (knowledge
of theological rhetoric), and we view it to be from amongst the greatest
reasons for the division in the Ummah.
[8]: We do not accept anything from the books
of fiqh (jurisprudence), nor from the books of tafseer (explanation
of the Qur‘aan), nor from the ancient stories, nor from the Seerah (biography)
of the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam), except that which has been
confirmed from Allaah or from His Messenger (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam). We
do not mean that we have rejected them, nor do we claim that we are not in need
of them. Rather, we benefit from the discoveries of our Scholars and the
jurists and other than them. However, we do not accept a ruling, except with an
authentic proof.
[9]: We do not write in our books, nor do we cover
in our lessons, nor do we give sermons with anything except the Qur‘aan,
or the authentic and authoritative hadeeth. And we detest what emanates
from many books and admonishers in terms of false stories and weak and
fabricated ahaadeeth.
[10]: We do not perform takfeer upon any
Muslim due to any sin, except Shirk with Allaah, or the abandonment
of Prayer, or apostasy. We seek refuge in Allaah from that.
[11]: We believe that the Qur‘aan is the
Speech of Allaah, it is not created.
[12]: We hold co-operation with any Muslim upon the
truth to be obligatory and we declare ourselves free in front of Allaah from
the calls of Jaahiliyyah (pre-Islaamic times of ignorance).
[13]: We do not deem it correct to revolt against
the Muslim rulers as long as they are Muslims, nor do we feel that revolutions
bring about reconciliation. Rather, they corrupt the community. As for the
rulers of Aden, then we feel that fighting them is obligatory, until they
repent from heresy, Socialism and calling people to the worship of Lenin and
Marx and other than these two from those who professed disbelief.
[14]: We hold that this multiplicity of present day
parties is a reason for the division of the Muslims and their weakness.
[15]: We hold that the da’wah (call) of
the Ikhwaanul-Muslimeen is not an upright and righteous da’wah that
brings about the rectification of the community. Indeed, their da’wah is
political, not religious. It is also a da’wah of innovation, because
it is a call to making unknown allegiance and a da’wah of fitnah (trial,
discord) founded upon innovation, and all of it is built upon innovation.
[16]: We advise the brothers who work amongst them
to abandon them, until nothing of their time is afforded to that which does not
benefit Islaam and the Muslims. And it is upon the Muslim that his priority be
to Allaah in aiding Islaam and the Muslims upon the hand of any Muslim under any Jamaa’ah.
[17]: We restrict our understanding of the Book of
Allaah and of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu
’alayhi wa sallam) to the understanding of the Salaf of the Ummah from
the Scholars of hadeeth, not the blind-followers of their individuals.
Rather, we take the truth from wherever it comes. And we know that there are
those who claim Salafiyyah, yet Salafiyyah is free from them,
since they bring to the society what Allaah has prohibited.
[18]: We believe that politics is a part of the
Religion, and those who try to separate the Religion from politics are only
attempting to destroy the Religion and to spread chaos. Likewise, what has been
spread in some of the Islaamic countries that, ‘The Religion is for Allaah, but
the state is for the people,’ is a call of jaahiliyyah. Rather, everything
must be for Allaah.
[19]: We believe there will be no honour or victory
for the Muslims until they return to the Book of Allaah and to the Sunnah of
the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam).
[20]: We hate the present day parties: the apostate
Communist party, and the apostate Ba’thee party, and the
apostate Naasiree party, and the apostate Socialist party, and the
apostate Raafidee party. And we believe that all of the people are
divided into two parties: the party of Allaah, and they are those who establish
the pillars of Islaam and the pillars of eemaan (faith). And there is
the party of Shaytaan, and they are those who wage war against the Sharee’ah of
Allaah.
[21]: We oppose those who divide the Religion of
trivialities and important issues. And we know that this is a destructive da’wah.
[22]: We oppose those who put down the knowledge of
the Sunnah, and say that this is not the time for it. Likewise, we
oppose those who put down acting upon the Sunnah of the Messenger of
Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam).
[23]: We hold that the most important affairs must
be given precedence over others. So it is obligatory upon the Muslims that they
give importance to ’aqeedah (creed), then to thwart the efforts of
the Communists and the Ba’th party. So this cannot occur, except by
holding fast to the Book and the Sunnah.
[24]: We hold that no Jamaa’ah has the
capability of facing the enemies, whether it be the Raafidee, or the Shee’ee,
or the Soofee, or the Sunnee; until they have true brotherhood and
unity upon this ’aqeedah.
[25]: We oppose those who are arrogant and claim
that the callers to Allaah are Wahhaabiyyah agents. And we know that
their filthy intention is that they wish to place an obstruction between the
common-folk and the people of knowledge.
[26]: Our da’wah and our ’aqeedah 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 da’wah, nor should he think that it is
possible for him to purchase it from us for deenaar or dirham.
Since the politicians already know this about us, so they have despaired of buying
it from us with granted positions or wealth.
[27]: We love the governments in accordance to what
they have of goodness, and we hate them for what they have of evil. And we do
not permit revolting against them, except if we have seen clear disbelief from
them about which we have a proof from Allaah, with the condition that we are
capable of that, and that there not be any civil strife between the Muslims and
their opponents. Since the rulers portray those who revolt against them as
spies causing corruption. And thereupon, other conditions come in, refer to our
other books. And the most dreadful of governments is the Communist government
of Aden. May Allaah hasten its downfall and purify the Islaamic countries from
it.
[28]: We accept direction and advice from wherever
it comes and we know that we are students of knowledge, we are correct
sometimes and incorrect at other times. We are ignorant at times and
knowledgeable at times.
[29]: We love the present day Scholars of the Sunnah and
hope to benefit from them and regret the passing away of many of them.
[30]: We do not accept a fatwaa except
from the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu
’alayhi wa sallam).
[31]: We oppose those who visit the graves and other
than them from amongst those who allege heresy in praise.
[32]: We oppose the calls of jaahiliyyah such
as nationalism and Arab-nationalism. We oppose them and we name them calls
of jaahiliyyah and we hold that they are reasons for the downfall of
the Muslims.
[33]: We are awaiting the re-newer that that Allaah
renews this Religion with. Aboo Daawood (d.257H) relates in his Sunan from
Abee Hurayrah (radiyallaahu ’anhu), from the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa
sallam) said, “Verily Allaah sends at the head of every one hundred years a
re-newer for this Ummah to renew its Religion.”2
[34]: We firmly believe in the misguidance of the
one who rejects the ahaadeeth pertaining to the Mahdee,
the Dajjaal (Anti-Christ) and the descent of ’Eesaa Ibn Maryam (’alayhissalaam).
And we do not mean the Mahdee of the Raafidah. Rather, we mean
the leader from the Family of the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam), from
the people of the Sunnah filling up the earth with justice and
fairness, just as it was filled with oppression and injustice before. And we
say that he is from Ahlus-Sunnah, because cursing the noble Companions is
not from justice.
[35]: These are glimpses into our ’aqeedah and
our da’wah. And mentioning them with their proofs would lengthen the book.
Indeed, I have mentioned their proofs in al-Makhraj minal-Fitnah. So if
one has any objection to this, then we are prepared to accept advice if it is
truthful, and to refute it if it is erroneous, and to avoid it if it is
stubborn rejection. And Allaah knows best.
So
let it be known that this has not fully covered our da’wah and
our ’aqeedah, since our da’wah is from the Book and the Sunnah,
to the Book and the Sunnah, and our ’aqeedah is likewise. And
Allaah is sufficient for us, and He is the best of those who are trusted. And
there is no might, nor power, except with Allaah.

Our
Aim!
In the times that we are living in today many who claim to be “knowledgeable”
are mixing Islam with deviant ideologies, they are mixing the truth with
falsehood. Therefore, our main aim is to call people to the Salafi Methodology
(Authentic Islam) by providing a platform where users can have access to the
fatawa of the Scholars and authentic knowledge without having to worry about
unauthenticated knowledge.
There are numerous video sharing websites available where Islamic and
non-Islamic contents are shared, but none are free from inappropriate content.
Our website provides a platform where no inappropriate content is advertised
nor is it shared.
We plan to hold live classes about Aqeedah, Manhaj, Tawheed etc. From the
students of knowledge to teach people about the pure authentic Islam. We have
many more goals for this website In’sha’Allaah. We pray that Allaah subhanahu
wa ta’ala accepts our efforts and he makes this project and all of our coming
projects a success. We pray that He makes this website a means for us to enter
into Paradise. Aameen!
