Imam Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhaab Is not "Wahhaabbi"!!!

Imam Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhaab Is not "Wahhaabbi"!!!

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessing of Allah be upon the best of the messengers, his family and all of his companions.

And then,

Prophet Mohamed (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said “Islam began as a stranger and will go back to being a stranger as it started, so give glad tidings to the strangers.” (Narrated by Muslim) .However, one of the indicators that really show how Islam became strange is that enemies of Islam are now the ones who are defining it, they are enabled, and whenever they talk, they should be heard. So you find most of the people who are talking about Islam in the West are the Jews and the Christians, moreover, in some of the Non-Muslim countries, Non-Muslim teachers are teaching the Islamic religion in the schools!!, and we find as well that most of the people who are talking about the Prophet Mohamed (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) are from his enemies: they draw up, insult, accuse, fabricate lies," And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves. So give them tidings of a painful punishment, Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted." ( al inshaqaq 23-25)

And in the blessed messages (da'wah) which convoyed the wave of anger against the spleeny drawings, the callers to Islam (Du'at) tried to prove for Muslims that this malice is not something new, and this is not the first insult for the Messenger of Allah, (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him), it happened before with our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) since he was sent and it was stronger than now. May myself, and my mother and father be ransomed for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him and his family). However, Muslims didn't learn yet that this is happening for whoever represents the Islamic religion.

As long as they inherited from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) the best message, they accordingly will inherit the hardships for the sake of this message.

The great caliphate Othman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) was died as a martyr because of the misunderstanding. And here is the father of the two grandsons Ali bin abi- Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) burned the people who deified him, which led them to a misunderstanding as well, as they said "we made sure now that you are Allah, as there is no one use the fire as a punishment except the one who created it"

Then days passed, and the temptation (fitnah) became aggravated and the strangeness of Islam increased….

And then lies have been spread about Al Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him), the matter which led him to ask Allah to end his life in a good way; however, Allah completed His grace upon him.

And later on, lies as well caused enmity between Ibin Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) and the governors, and he has been hurt for the Sake of Allah.

"Similarly, no Messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed! [53] Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!"

So the question now is….

Doesn't Islam have the right to talk about itself?!!.....
Doesn't the truth have the right to say the truth?!!....

We've said several times that: "People have heard about us, but they've never heard from us"!!...

However, despite all of this, we're saying that: Islam is like the rubber ball which has an opposite reaction, as much as you hit it strongly, it moves and react stronger, same thing with Islam, as much as its enemies trying to do their best to destroy it, the victory of Islam will be stronger and fulfilled!!!...

Allah is saying {think it not to be an evil to you; on the contrary it is good for you}, { and so will they continue to spend; but in the end they will have (only) regrets and sighs; at length they will be overcome: and the Unbelievers will be gathered together to Hell.}, { And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs}, { If any think that Allah will not help him (His Messenger) in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut (himself) off: then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages (him)!}

"Al Nour 11, Al Anfal 36, Yusuf 21, Al Haj 15"

Attacking Islam makes people more anxious to know about it, and this is a part of the laws of granting victory for this religion.

Do you know who have gathered people for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) when he came back on the night of the Night Journey (Israa' and Mi'raaj)?!!!

Guess who?!!......

Who was the one who had spread this miracle between people?!.....

It was the Islam’s worst enemy Abo Jahl!!!

Prophet Mohamed (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said “On the night on which I was taken on the night journey (Israa' and Mi'raaj ), when I came back to Mecca, I was scared and realized that people will not believe me”; pay attention here: The Messenger of Allah, thought that people will not believe him…then ponder how the victory will come.

While the Messenger of Allah was sitting alone, feeling sad, the enemy of Allah, Abo Jahl passed by him and asked in an insultant way: "What happened?"

The Messenger of Allah said: "I was taken on a night journey"
He asked him: "To where?"
The Messenger replied: "To Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis)"
Abo Jahl said: " And then you woke up among us?!!"

(Here Abo Jahl felt that he found what he was looking for, an obvious lie, so he can discourage people from accepting the calling of the prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him).

However, the prophet answered: “yes”

(Then Abo Jahl pretended that he believed the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him), in order not to frighten him, so he may change what he have said or deny it in front of the others)

Then he asked him in a foxy way (may Allah curse him): “would you tell your people what you have told me?”

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) replied: “yes”
Abo-Jahl started off calling people, until they have been gathered around him and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him).
At that moment, Abo Jahl (may Allah curse him) said in a foxy way: “tell them what you have told me”!!!

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "I was taken on a night journey".

People asked him: "To where?"
He answered to: "To Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis)"
They said: " And then you woke up among us?!!"
He said: "yes"

Some of the people were shocked, and others didn't believe.

Look how Allah managed the matter,
They asked him "can you describe it?"; (some of them were traveled to Jerusalem, and have seen the masjid before).

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said “I started describing the masjid, and while I was describing, I got confused about some specifications, at that moment I saw the masjid coming, and it has been put near to Dar Okal- so I resumed describing while I was looking to it”

then he said (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) “Although of these descriptions, I did not memorize it”; which means that the prophet didn't see all of this specifications during the journey, but Allah showed it to him while he was describing the masjid in Mecca.

Did you remember the words of the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him): "I was scared and realized that people will not believe me"?
Listen for what the people have said, they said: "he was correct about the description" (Narrated by Ahmed, classed as authentic by Al-Albaani)

And that is how the plotting of the polytheist against the religion became a victory for it, and there are much more examples for this situations, such as

Kuraysh agreement, at the beginning of the call to Islam (da'waa), as they agreed to get a man for every entrance of Mecca's entrances to stand at the entrance and warn the pilgrims and the merchants from listening to the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) which aroused the interest of the people to know more about him, and it became the first target for whoever enter Mecca, then once he heard from the Prophet, the faith steal his heart, and Islam snatch his mind….

Its really true…..

Once they heard from us “Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind]." (Qaaf 37)

If the listener treats fairly for a second, "He who fears Allah will be reminded." (Al' Ala 10)

Did You Hear about Wahhaabbism?
This is an expression which does not exist in any of the great scholars’s books, and to know about this expression, you have to know the answer of the following three questions:

1) Who created this expression?
2) Who do they mean by it?
3) Why did they spread it?

Search for the word, then ponder in whose books will you find it? and who is saying it?

It trip off the tongues of the (Sufism) who are asking help from the others not from Allah, it has been mentioned in the books of the people whose their hands will testify against them (if they did not repent) that they slaughtered animals on which has been invoked a name other than the name of Allah, and they wiped the door-steps (seeking for blessing), and they paid a lot of money to the vows boxes….

They are the ignorant people, who committed the major form of polytheism (May Allah keep us away from it, and grant all of us repentance before death).

And you find as well the word (Wahabbism) trip off the tongues of the Shiites
(Shiah) the Raafidis, who worships a group of the Prophet's family and curse the other group (may Allah be pleased with all of the Prophet's family)…. As they seeks Allah's help through Al-Hussain's and Fatima's virtue (may Allah be pleased with them), and curse A'aesha and Hafssa (may Allah be pleased with them).

The word is common also in the suspicions of the Ash’aris
and the Maatreedi, the people who deny the Divine attributes and went astray because of their misguided belief regarding the matter of Allah's attributes, they didn't follow the companions of the Prophet and the early generations of Islam (Taabi’een) in their understanding of Quran and Sunnah.

So, here we knew who created the expression "Wahhaabism", and remained to know who is meant by it?

They mean by this word: the people who believe in the oneness of Allah in object and aim!!!

If you try to forbid one of those ignorant people (who didn't learn the real monotheism) from seeking to approach Allah by virtue of some created being, or from praying in a masjid which included a grave, or to forbid him to swear by anything other than Allah, you'll find him surprised by what you're saying, and whether Allah will open his breast or he will need more guidance and clarification, but in case his ignorance was complex and not a simple ignorance, he will argue with you, using an insubstantial suspicions, and unauthentic evidences, even his mentioning to the authentic evidences, based on misunderstanding of this evidences, and his suspicions will include accusing you of being a Wahhaabbi, he will tell you: "you are Wahhaabbi"…..or he will talk to you in the plural form "you are wahhaabbi people"!!!!!....etc.

Glory be to Allah!!! To whom do they attribute the believer who forbids the major polytheism?

What is meant by the word "Wahhaabbi"?

The answer is that they associate it with the Imam that renewed the Islamic call "Mohamed Ibn Abd Al Wahab" (may Allah have mercy on him). So they meant by the word "Wahhaabbi" that you are one of his followers.

Here we're wondering, what we're suppose to say?!!
Shall we say: No…we're not Wahhaabbi?!....or we say: yes…we're Wahhaabi?!!

The answer is:

If they meant the monotheism "Tawheed", accordingly every Muslim will be Wahhaabbi.
If they attribute the monotheists who worship only Allah with no partners to Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhaab, who obeyed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and took the idols out of the masjid in order to obey the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) as he said "Those who came before you used to take the graves of their Prophets and righteous men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as places of worship; I forbid you to do that" (Narrated by Muslim). He established a monotheist nation. So who dislike to be attributed to this person?

If the one who shows respect towards Allah's attributes, didn't deny any of the words of Allah (Glory be to Him), didn't distorting the laws of Allah, whether distorting the verses or the meanings, so he believes that Allah is above His Throne, because He said" (Allah) Most Gracious is firmly established on the throne" (Taha 5) , he believes in Allah's Hand, because He said" the Hand of Allah is over their hands" (Al Fath 10), and believes that He (Glory be to Him) is above His creatures in the sky according to what He have said about Himself" Do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven" (Al Mulk 16) and according as well to what He have said about the angels" They fear their Lord above them" (Al Nahl 50)…. And adhere to all the Salafia beliefs, and affirm the attributes of Allah as He Himself and His Messenger have affirmed them, without discussing how, or misinterpreting them, or likening Allah to His creations. He believes that no one knows how is the attributes of Allah (Glory be to Him), so His rising over the Throne is real, He rose in a manner that befits His Majesty, not like anyone else, and His Hand is real and befits His Majesty as well, not like any other hand, and that is how we deal with all the attributes that He (Glory be to Him) and His Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) affirmed them: attributes in a manner that befits His Majesty, not like the attributes of any of His creations. "There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing." (Al Shura 11)

As I've said before:

If Allah asked me: "O My slave! Why did you say I descend every night and you did not say that My Mercy descends?

My answer will be "O Allah! I've said that you descend every night, because Your Messenger said that; is it possible after this answer to be considered as a sinner?!!
Certainly no, Allah (Glory be to Him) said “take what the prophet said to you and leave what he forbad you from”

On the contrary, if Allah asked me "O My slave! Why did you say that I'm not descending as My Messenger said, but it is My Mercy that is descending?
I may answer: "O Lord! I wanted to declare that You are above all attributes that imply shortcomings."

What would be the answer if He asked me after that "Are you denying the attributes that I've affirmed for Myself, and My Messenger affirmed it for Me?!...Do you know Me better than I and My Messenger know?!

Who will be the winner at that moment?!

Allah (Glory be to Him) said "Are you more knowing or is Allah?" ( Al Baqara 140)
And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said "I'm the most pious one, and the most knowledge of Allah"
(Narrated by Al Bukharri)

However, if whoever behave in such a good manner with the attributes of Allah, and understand the verses that Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) have said according to its real meaning will be called Wahhaabbi, so, which honor is supremer than that?!

And if they meant by "Wahhaabbism" the extremism or harshness so, Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhaab himself is not Wahhaabbi!!

If they mean that the people of Sunnah and Jamaa’ah "Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah" are blindly following Imam-Mohammad Ibn Abd El Wahhaab (may Allah have mercy on him) and they are thinking that he was protected from sin, and that is why they called them Wahhaabbi, as they follow the Imam in all his deeds, and believe in all of his beliefs without paying any attention to the evidences, we're definitely saying that this is a false accusation and cannot be applied to Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd El Wahhaab himself; and the people of Sunnah and Jamaa’ah "Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah" are so far from the imitation methodology, and they are criticizing it, as their scholars said " The opinion of everyone except the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) may be accepted or rejected", they said as well "If the hadith is authentic, so it is my ideology", and they said " if you found any conflict between any of my words and the Quran or Sunnah, do not pay attention to my words". And they don't have a methodology or a group or a school of thoughts called "Wahhaabism".
Here is the Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd El Wahhaab (may Allah have mercy on him) saying in his personal message number 37"I'm not calling for Sufism or a particular scholar, or specific imam, even those who I glorify them, such as Imam Ibn El Qaiiem, or Imam Al Zahabee, or Ibn Katheer, I'm calling for only Allah with no partners, and for following His Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him), and I'm willing not to reject the truth whenever it comes to me, and Allah is witnessing and His angels and all of His creatures that if I heard any true word, I'll surely accept it, and I'll not pay attention to any word conflict with it from my scholars, except if it has been said by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) as he never say any untrue word."

Consequently, if they meant by "Wahhaabbism" the imitation of a particular imam, so Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd al Wahab himself is not Wahhaabbi.
And if they meant by "Wahhaabbism" that they're a fanatic people who never excuse the others for ignorance, and they're anxious about denouncing the ignorant people as apostate ones, it is definitely false claims, because their scholars are calling people to monotheism, they're callers to Islam (Du'aat) not judges, they're teaching people the conditions of monotheism, and warning them from associating partners with Allah, and whoever Allah enabled him to judge or to rule, he should adhere to affirming conditions or negating preventives before denouncing anyone as an apostate, and from its guidelines:

The excuse for ignorance

The great scholar Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his book (al istaasah 2/629) “After knowing all what the Messenger have said, it became very clear that he did not allow his nation to seek anything from the dead people, prophets, or the righteous people or anyone other than Allah, whether seeking help or seeking refuge or anything else.

And he forbade his nation as well to prostrate to a dead person or to anyone other than Allah. We know very well that he forbade all of this; we know that it is considered as polytheism which Allah and His Messenger forbade us to do it, but because of the spreading ignorance and the lack of knowledge, we do not denounce anyone of the new generation as an apostate unless we clarify to him what the Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) have said.

Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd al-Wahab said in his book “Rasaal shakhsaya {personal messages} (125/3)”

“Regarding to what my enemies have said about me; that I denounce people as apostates just according to my opinion or according to my relationship with them, or that I denounce the ignorant person as apostate before I establish the evidence against him, they are slandering me in order to put the people off the call of Allah and His Messenger".

Sheikh Abd Allah the son of Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhaab said in “Dorarr al Sunniya (274/10)” “Seeking help or seeking your needs from the dead person is considered as a major polytheism which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and all Holy books, and all the Messengers as well agreed upon forbidden it, and denouncing whoever commit it as an apostate, but because of the spreading ignorance, we do not denounce a particular person as an apostate unless we establish the evidence against him, and clarify to him that this is a form of the major polytheism which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger. If he insisted on committing this deed after the evidence has been established against him, and he listened to the Quran verses and the Prophet's Ahadith, in this case we consider him as a polytheist, unlike the case with the ignorant person who his deed considered as polytheism, but we do not consider him as a polytheist until we establish the evidence against him"

Consequently, if they meant by "Wahhaabism" the rushing to denounce Muslim people as polytheists, so Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhaab himself is not Wahhaabbi.

And they're slandering as well if they meant by "wahhaabbi" that they're enemies for the Prophet's family (may Allah be pleased with them) and they doesn't give them their rights, in particular Ali, Fatima and Al Hussain (may Allah be pleased with them), all of this are nothing but fabricated lies which does not applied to Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhaab or his followers, as they are moderate, they love the Prophet's family without exaggeration or negligence.
Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhaab said in his book (Matters which has been summarized {Massa'el Lakhassha}) “The family of the Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) have the right to be loved and to be respected from this nation not like anyone else.” He said as well (may Allah have mercy on him) in his “Personal Messages (10/1)” “I believe that our Prophet is the last Prophet and the last Messenger, and the faith of any slave will not be correct unless he believe that he is the Prophet and believe in his message, and to believe as well that the best one in his nation is Abu Bakr Al Sedeek, and the next one is Omar Ibn Al Khattab, next to him is Othman, next to Othman is Ali, and then the others .” He also said in his book “The Monotheism (Al Tawheed) (21/1)” “when he mentioned the benefits of the hadith: (I'll give the banner tomorrow…)

Number 21: The virtue of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him):

And in the same book as well (1/47) he said “Number 13: what the Prophet has said whether to his family or the others" I cannot save you from Allah's punishment.” He even said to Fatima "O Fatima daughter of Muhammad, I cannot save you from Allah's punishment."

While we're reading that the leader of the Messengers told the leader of the women of the world that he cannot save her from Allah's punishment, and we definitely believe that he never says anything but only the truth, we think about what has been set in the hearts of the elites and we find out the meaning of monotheism and discover the strangeness of the religion"

Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd al Wahhaab talked about Ali in a fair manner in his book” The summarization of the biography (Mokhtasar al Sirrah) (321/1)” as he said “Ali and his followers were closer to the truth than Moa'wiyah and his followers. And both of the two groups did not get out of the circle of faith”.

And ponder how the great scholar Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) was soft while he was advising people who feel sad on the day of Ashoora:

“I'd like you to know (May Allah give you and me strength) that what Al Hussein had suffered in the day of Ashoora is considered as an honor and a reward from Allah in order to raise his status to have the same status of his righteous family, and to insult those who was unfair to him, and when the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) has been asked" which of the people are most sorely tested? ", he replied" The Prophets, then the righteous, then the next best, then the next best of people. A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment. If there is some solidness in his religious commitment, he will be more sorely tested, and if there is some weakness in his religious commitment the test will be lightened for him, A man will continue to be tested until he walks upon the face of the earth with no sin on him" (Narrated by Ahmed classed as authentic by Al Albaanni).

When the day of Ashoora comes the true believer remembers what had happened to Al Hussain, and just says " to Allah we belong and unto Him is our return" (Innaa Lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji’oon), as Allah commended him to do at times of calamity , in order to get the reward from Allah according to what He says, “those who have the blessings of Allah descend on them and they are the guided ones” here we notice the benefits of the calamities and what Allah had prepared for the patient people. {truly those who are patient are rewarded.}, and believing that the calamities comes from Allah will help to ease the pain.

I'm asking you by Allah; are there better manner and more love to the family of the Prophet than this, in case of denying the innovations of the exaggerators?

Do you know the names of Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd al wahhaab's kids?!

The eldest son is Ali, two boys named al Hassan and al Hussein, and then his daughter Fatima. (Dorrar al sunniyah 19/21)

Glory be to Allah!! What shall we say about those who claimed that Wahhaabbi people are the enemies of the Prophet's family?!!
If they meant by "Wahhaabbism", the enmity between Wahhaabbi people and the Prophet's family, so Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhaab himself is not Wahhaabbi!

And if they meant that they're the people who disobey the Muslim ruler and they rebelled against the Ottoman Caliphate and they were the reason for its fall, it is nothing but only fabricated lies which cannot be believed.

The Imam said in his message to the people of al-Qaseem in his book (Majmoo' al Moalafat 11/5). “I believe that it is obligatory to hear and obey the leaders of the Muslims, whether they are righteous or immoral, so long as they do not enjoin disobedience towards Allah. Whoever has become Caliph and the people have given him their support and accepted him, even if he has gained the position of caliph by force, is to be obeyed and it is forbidden to rebel against him.”

And Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd al Wahab said as well in (Majmoo’ah Mu’allafaat al-Shaykh, 394/1) “One of the main principles of unity is to hear and obey whoever is appointed over us even if he is an Abyssinian slave.”

Regarding to the lies which says that the Wahaabbi people were helped by the British to rebel against the Ottoman Caliphate and they were the reason for its fall, it is simply a silly lies which is easy to be dropped at the moment we know that this call has been originated and first developed in 1811, while the Ottoman Caliphate has been fallen in 1922, and the call of the Imam stared in Najd which had never came under Ottoman rule, and the rule of the Ottoman state never reached that far, no Ottoman governor was appointed over that region.

So if they meant by "Wahhaabbism" that they're the people who disobey the Muslim ruler, then Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd al Wahhaab himself is not Wahabi.

My dear brothers and sisters,

The evil tongues will never keep silent, and the evil pens will never stop….

And that is why this verse which Allah says should be clear to all of us “And let them not disquiet you who are not certain [in faith]”

They chose a name for one of the big scholars to be a title for the people who are adopting the righteous methodology, as an evil-affected indicator and a spleeny trying, in order to make people think that it is a new innovated call, and that is why they're saying " so and so (they mention a name of a scholar), is the first one who forbade to draw close to Allah by virtue of created things" and "so and so, is the first one who forbade visiting the shrines".

And here we say No….

It is an authentic call: it is not just older than Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhaab who has been died in 1206 (after the immigration), or older than the great scholar Ibn Taymia who has been died in 728 (after the immigration)….

It is the message of Mohammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, his family and his companions, it is older than the sending of him (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him), as Allah (Glory be to Him) said "And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, There is no deity except Me, so worship Me" (Al Anbiaa 25) and He said as well "And it was already revealed to you and to those before you that if you should associate [anything] with Allah, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers." (Al Zumor 65)

And all the Messengers were calling their people to these words "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him"
(Al A’raf 59, 65, 73, 85)

They want to minimize the calling of monotheism by attributing it to one person, in order to make people think that they're just a group of people….

And here we say No….

We're the authentic; we're the main nation; we're not just a group of the several groups, we're following the orders of the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) as he said "Follow me and my companions" (Narrated by Al Termethee, classed as authentic by Al Albanni).

Although people who adhere to Quran and Sunnah according to the understanding of the old generations (Salaf) are a few, they're the authentic even if most of the others were against them.

O Allah!! Show us the truth and help us to follow it, and to show us falsehood and help us to avoid it.

Peace and blessing of Allah be upon the Prophet Muhammad and his family, and praise be to Allah.
