About Ahlus Sunnah

The Ahl as-Sunnat Wal Jamaat is the largest group of Muslims and the only group whose

beliefs and teachings are truly in accordance with the Noble Quran and Sunnah of the Most

Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam). The beliefs of this group are the same as thebeliefs of the Sahaba or Noble Companions of the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa

Sallam) and the Salf-e-Saliheen (our great pious predecessors). In many Ahadith,the Beloved

Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) strongly advised the Muslims to follow his Sunnah and to

remain steadfast upon the path of his Sahaba, the Salf-e-Saliheen.

1. Hazrat Abdullah Ibn-e-Abbas says that the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him)

addressed the people at the time of last hajjO people! Im leaving behind among you, the Holy

book (Quran) and the Sunnah. If you follow these in letter and spirit, you will never be strayed.

(Hakim Al-Mustadrik Book#1 Hadith # 318)

2.The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Follow the way of the largest

group of Muslims

! For, he who deviates from this group will be thrown into Hell!

[Sunnan Ibn Majah, Hadith # 3950]

3. The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Allah will never allow my Ummah

to unite upon misguidance and incorrect beliefs. Allahs mercy, blessings and protection are

with the largest group of Muslims. And he who deviates from this largest group of Muslims

will be thrown into Hell. ( Sunan Al Tirmizi Vol.2 Pg.39)

4. The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: He who deviates from the largest

group of Muslims, even as much as a hand span, has himself cut off his connection with Islam.

(Abu Dawud)

5. Allah will never let my Ummah agree upon misguidance, and the hand of Allah is over the

group (Jama'ah), so follow the great mass of believers (Sawad ul-'Azam), and whoever dissents

from them departs to hell(al-Tirmidhi (4/2167) a narration authenticated and reported by

al-Hakim (1/116), and al-Dhahabi agreed with him, Scholars explained that Sawad al Azam

here refers to great Ulama

Translation:Hadrat Abu Masud (RA) narrates: Stick to the Jamaat because Allah azza Wajjal

will NEVER GATHER THE UMMAH OF MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM)

5.Ibn Taymiyya, in his Aqeedat-il-Wasitiyyah (pg. 154) says: "Their creed is the religion of Islam

which was sent to the world by Allah through the Prophet (Peace be upon him). But the Prophet

(Peace be upon him) said, 'My Ummah will get divided into 73 sects and each one will go to Hellsave one and that one is the Jama'at.' Also in one Hadith he said, 'They are those people who

will follow this path which I and my Sahaba follow today.' Therefore they have caught hold of

Islam unalloyed from every adulteration and these are the people of Ahl as-Sunnah Wa'l

Jama'ah. This group

includes the truthful, the martyrs and the virtuous; it includes the minarets of guidance, lamps in

the darkness and owners of such superiorities and virtues who have been already mentioned. It

includes the saints and also those Imams on whose guidance Muslims are unanimous. It is this

successful group about which the Prophet (Peace be upon him) has said: 'One group from my

Ummah will always remain dominant with truth; the opponents will never be able to harm its

members or afflict them up to the Doomsday.'"

6.Imam Rabbani Mujaddid Alf Thanni (Radi Allahu anhu)(971AH-1034AH) states in his famous

book Maktubaat " The way of Salvation is followance of the Ahl as-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah.

May Almighty Allah bestow blessings upon the Ahl as-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah, in their speech, in

their actions, laws, for this is the successful group. Besides this, all other groups have become

victims of deception. Today, nobody realizes how much these misled groups will be punished,

however, on the Day of Judgment this secret will become apparent. Even though at that time

this knowledge will be of no benefit to the misled."

"It is compulsory for the wise people to amend their beliefs to be in accordance with the beliefs

of the Ahl as-Sunnah Wa Jama'ah because this is the only group which will be saved from the

fire of Hell." None of the Sahaba, the Salaf-e-Saliheen or the pious scholars of Islam followed

the new ideas or beliefs. They strictly abstained from the groups who followed these deviated

ideas and beliefs. Their beliefs and actions opposed these new ideas and beliefs. All the great

scholars of Hadith and the great scholars of Fiqh of the four Schools of thought and their

followers, all held the belief of the Ahl as-Sunnah Jama'ah. In addition, all the great piousMuslims and the Sufi Saints of the past and present, followed the way of the Ahl as-Sunnat Wal

Jama'ah. Their great literary works stand witness to this fact." Also the believes of Ahl as

sunnah are present on this website.
