Abu Iyaad goes through the works of: - The Permanent Committee of Scholars - Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree - Shaykh Abdus-Salaam Burjis - Shaykh Abdullah Bukhari Explaining the Principles of the Salafi Dawah. More Notes available on www.learnaboutislam.co.uk What is Salafiyyah? It is the way Messenger of Allah and the companions and to call to it with wisdom and call to that which is best while striving oneself in acting upon what he calls others to. It is the balanced middle way “Thus We have made you, a balanced nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger be a witness over you.” 2:143 Shaykh Fawzan said the word Salafi does cause a split, between the Salafis who are upon the way of the Salaf (the Messenger of Allah, his companions and those who followed them) and the people of innovation and misguidance. This is a praiseworthy distinction. “And I followed the religion of my fathers Ibrahim, Ishaaq and Ya’qoob, it is not for us to associate anything as partner with Allah” (12:38). We ask Allah to make us from those upon the Madhab of the Salaf. We do not just gather people, but we call them to the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, in accordance to the undersanding of the Salaf and the sound creed. “And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun and the Ansar and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.” 9:100 “ihsaan” in this verse means “itqaan” means being precise in following them and reference to those who follow them in knowledge and action. So it is upon you to learn the madhab of the salaf and so you can hold fast on to it.
