**BISMILLAH IR-RAHMAN AR-RAHIM (In The Name Of ALLAH, The Most Beneficient,The Most Merciful)**
ISLAM means "Submission" -to the will of Allah and obedience to His law.
MUSLIM means "one who submits" (to Allah).
--It is time to realise your faith and purpose of life..humans are created for a reason..not just by chance or for play...search for the truth..as the truth comes only to people who seek the knowledge!.WHAT IS SALAFIYYAH AND WHO IS THE SALAF??? The word "Salaf" is a condensation of "Salaf-as Saalih" which means "The Pious Predecessors". The Salaf are the first three generations of Islam: 1) The Prophet and his Companions 2) The Taabi'een (the generation after them) 3) The Atbaa'tul- Taabi'een (the generation after the taabi'een). The Taabi'een never met the Prophet, but met the sahaabi (companions).So who are the people that follow the Salaf-as-Saalih? They are termed as "Salafi" or "Salafiyyah". In the Cassette, "at-Tahdheer min al-Bid'ah" , Shiekh Saleh al Fowzan was asked: "Is Salafiyyah a hizb (party) from amongst the parties. And is ascribing to them (i.e. the Salafis) a blameworthy thing?" To which he replied: "As-Salafiyyah (i.e. the Salafis) is the Saved Sect, and they are Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah. It is not a hizb (party) from amongst the various parties, those which are called "parties" today. Rather they are the Jamaa'ah, the Jamaa'ah upon the Sunnah and upon the Deen (religion). They are Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah. The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said, "There will not cease to be a group from my Ummah manifest and upon the truth not being harmed by those who forsake them neither by those who oppose them" and he (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also said, "And this Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of them in the Hellfire but one". They said, which one is this O Messenger of Allaah? He replied, "They are those who are upon what I and my companions are upon today". Hence Salafiyyah is a group of people (i.e. the Salafis) upon the madhhab of the Salaf, upon what the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) and his companions were upon and it is not a hizb from amongst the contemporary groups present today. Rather it is the very old Jamaa'ah, from the time of the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) which inherits (this way) and continues, and which never ceases to be upon the manifest truth until the establishment of the Hour, as he (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) has informed (us)."
Shaykh Muhammad Nasir Uddin al-Albani / Source: Al-Asaala h, Issue 9...... QUESTION: Why use the name Salafee? Is it a call towards a party or a group or a madh-hab (school of thought)? Or is it a new sect in Islaam ? ANSWER: Indeed, the word Salaf is well known in the Arabic language as well as in the religious terminology. But what concerns us here, is its discussion from the religious standpoint. Thus, it has authentically been reported on the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, that during the sickness from which he died from, he said to Faatimah, radyAllaahu 'anhaa: "…So fear Allaah and have patience. And I am the best Salaf (predecessor) for you." [Saheeh Muslim: no. 2450]
REJECTED SUNNAH VS BEAUTIFIED OPINION:: It is reported that Al-Awzâ’î said, “Follow the narrations [ways] of those who have preceded (the Salaf) even if people reject you; and beware of people’s opinions, even if they beautify them for you.†[Al-Âjurrî, Kitâb Al-Sharîrah Vol.1 p138; Ibn ‘Abd Al-Barr, Jâmi’ Bayân Al-‘Ilm wa Fadlihi Vol.3 p373.]
