Our noble brother, Aboo ‘Abdullaah Hasan as-Sumaalee introduces the topic by illustrating the way of the Imaams of the salaf with regards to clarifying the belief of ahlus-sunnah vs. ahlul-bid’ah. A crushing blow to the mumayyi’een who claim that refutation is fitnah,
‘The differentiation of ahlul-bid’ah and ahlus-sunnah is something that the ‘ulamaa have done since the very beginning of time. For when you see them, writing books such as usoolus-sunnah of Imaam Ahmad, the intention behind authoring these books is to clarify the ‘aqeedah of ahlus-sunnah wal-jama’aah. For example, from the usoolud-deen, from tawheedul-ulohiyyah, tawheedul-asmaa’ was-sifaat. And likewise, ash-sharee’ah of Imaam al-Aajurree, again, a similar book with similar structure. And the second reason these books were authored was to clarify the difference between ahlus-sunnah and ahlul-bid’ah. If you were to go and read usoolul-i’tiqaad of Imaam al-Laalikee'ee, you would see the belief of the khawaarij mentioned alongside the belief of ahlus-sunnah in regards to the one who commits a major sin… Likewise you will see mentioned, the methodology of the murji’ah that were mistaken with regards to the belief of eemaan. And if you were to go to sharhus-sunnah of Imaam al-Barbahaaree, you would see that he mentions the Khawaarij and from their signs is that they rebel against the rulers, and from the belief of ahlus-sunnah is that we obey the rulers over us…” (Transcription from the audio lecture)
The Signs of ahlus-sunnah in opposition to ahlul-bid’ah:
- We implement the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) in every matter
- We take and implement that which is found upon the sahaabah (radiyallaahu 'anhum)
- We busy ourselves with Tawheed
- We do not sit with or listen to ahlul-bid’ah
- We desire to join the Jama’aatul-Muslimeen (upon the sunnah).
- We bring to life the sunan of Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).
- We do not stick blindly to any speech other than the speech of Allaah and Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).
- Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil
- We use hikmah in our da’wah
- We give importance to knowledge built upon the Qur’aan and the sunnah and the athaar of the salaf and acting upon this
- tasfiyah wat-tarbiyah (Purification and Education)
