No hard feelings, nothing personal, just, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TRUTH, you know.

Allah says: "And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allaah (i.e., this Qur'an), and be not divided among yourselves." Surah Aali-`Imraan [3:103]

2. And He says: "And do not be among the polytheists. Of those who split up their religion and became sects, each sect rejoicing in that which is with it." Surat-ur-Room [30:31-32]

The Messenger, sallallahu alejhi we selem, said: "I counsel you to have Taqwaa of Allaah and to hear and obey, even if an Abyssinian slave were to command you.For, verily, whoever amongst you lives (to grown old), he will see many differences. So stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided khaleefahs. Cling tightly onto it and hold onto it with your molar teeth. And beware of newly invented matters. For, indeed, every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is a thing that leads astray, and everything that leads astray is in the Hellfire."

And he also said: "Indeed those from before you from the People of the Book divided into seventy-two groups. And, indeed, this group (Muslims) will divide intoseventy-three. Seventy-two groups will be in the Hellfire and one of them will be in Paradise. And it is the Jamaa'ah (group)."

And in another narration, Muhammed, sallallahu alejhi we selem, said: "Everyoneof them in the Hellfire, except for one group that which I and my companions areupon."

Ibn Mas'ood, r.a. said: "The Messenger, sallallahu alejhi we selem, drew a linefor us and then said: 'This is the Straight Path of Allah.' And he drew lines on the left and right of it, and then said: 'These are paths of which there is not one except that there is a devil upon it calling towards it.' Then he recitedthe statements of Allah: 'And verily, this is My Straight Path, so follow it, and do not follow (other) paths for they will separate you away from His path."

Allah, subhanehu we te'ala, has commanded us to hold tightly onto the Glorious Q

ur'an, and to not be like the polytheists who divide their religion into sects and parties. And the honorable Messenger, sallallah ualejhi we sellem, has informed us that the Jews and the Christians have divided into many sects, and that the Muslims will divide into more sects than them. And that these groups will subjected to the entrance into the Hellfire due to their deviation and their distancing away from the Book of their Lord and Sunnah of their Messenger, sallallahualejhi we sellem. He also informed us that one saved sect from among them will enter Paradise, and it is the Jamaa'ah (group), THOSE WHO CLING TIGHTLY ONTO THEBOOK OF ALLAH AND THE AUTHENTIC SUNNAH, and the actions of the companions of theMessenger of Allah.

The Methodology Of The Saved Sect

1. The Saved Sect is upon the methodology that the Messenger, sallallahu alejhiwe selem, was upon in his life and the methodology of his companions after him.And that was (the following of ) the Glorious Qur'an which Allah revealed unto His Messenger, sallallahu alejhi we selem, and that which he explained to his companions by way of the ahaadeeth (narration's) that have been authentically reported on him. And he commanded the Muslims to hold tightly onto the two, by his saying: "I left upon you two things of which you will never go astray after them:The Book of Allaah and my Sunnah. They will never be separated until they returnto me at the Haud (the Pond)."

2. The Saved Sect returns to the Words of Allah and the words of His Messenger,sallallahu alejhi we selem, at times of differing and controversy, acting upon the statement of Allah, the Most High: "And if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it back to Allaah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allaah andin the Last Day. That is more suitable for final determination." Surat-un-Nisaa' [4:59].

And He also says: "But no, by your Lord, they can have no Eemaan (Faith), untilthey make you (O Muhammad) a judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission." Surat-un-Nisaa' [4:65].

3. The Saved Sect does not put the speech of anyone before the speech of Allaahand His Messenger, sallallahu alejhi we selem, acting upon the statement of Allah: "O you who believe! Do not be forward in the presence of Allaah and His Messenger and fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing." Surat-ul-Hujuraat [49:1].

Ibn 'Abbas, r.a. said: "I fear that rocks from the heavens are about to descendupon you. I say to you: The Messenger of Allaah said, and you say: Abu Bakr and'Umar said."

4. The Saved Sect gives importance to the Tawheed of Allah. And that is the sing

ling out of Allah in terms of His worship, seeking of assistance, supplication at times of hardship and ease, scarifies, oaths, reliance, and other than that from the types of worship. It is the foundation by which the only correct Islamicstate can be established. And there is no doubt that the Shirk (association of partners with Allaah) that is currently present in the Islamic states should be eradicated. This is because it is one of the requirements of Tawheed. Thus, victory will not come to any group that disregards Tawheed and does not oppose shirkand its types.

5. The Saved Sects revives the Sunnah of the Messenger, sallallahu alejhi we selem, in their act of worship, behavior and lifestyles. And due to this, they become strangers among their own people, as the Muhammed, sallallahu alejhi we selem, has informed us would happen with his words: "Indeed Islam began as something

strange and it will return to being strange as it began. So Toobaa is for the strangers."And in one narration, he said: "So Toobaa is for the strangers those who correctothers when the people have become corrupt."

6. The Saved Sect does not become fanatical with the words of anyone, except forthe words of Allah and His Messenger, sallallahu alejhi we selem, the one protected from sins and who do not speak from his own desire. As for other than him from among mankind, no matter how high his degree may be, then he is prone to error and sin. This is due to the statement of the Messenger: "Everyone of the tribe of Adam sins. And the best of the sinners are the ones who (constantly) make repentance."

Imaam Maalik Rahimahullaah said: "There is no one after the Prophet except thatyou may take and abandon from his statements, except the Prophet."

7. The Saved Sect are the people of Hadeeth, of whom the Muhammed, sallallahu alejhi we selem, said: "There will not cease to be a group from my ummah, dominantupon the truth. The ones who abandon them will not be able to harm them, untilthe decree of Allaah comes."

A poet said: "The people of hadeeth are the people of the Prophet."

8. The Saved Sect honors and respects the Scholars of Islam and they do not go extremities in following anyone among them. Rather, they take the understanding from the Qur'an, the authentic Sunnah and from all of the scholars statements aslong as they are in agreement with the authentic narration's and these are in agreement with their words. This is up to the point that they advise those that follow them to take from the authentic texts and to abandon any statement that opposes it.

9. The Saved Sect commands the good and forbids the evil. And so they forbid theevil of the innovator and the destructive groups that divide the ummah and innovate into the religion and into the Sunnah of the Messenger, sallallahu alejhi we selem, and his companions.

10. The Saved Sect calls the Muslims towards holding fast to the Sunnah of the Messenger, sallallahu alejhi we selem, and his companions until victory is prescribed for them and enter Paradise by the bounty of Allaah and the intercession ofthe Messenger after haven been given the authority to do so by Allaah.

11. The Saved Sect declares the evil of the conventional man-made law system which forces mankind to oppose the ruling system of Islam. They call the people torule by the Book of Allaah which was revealed to aid mankind in this world and the next. And Allah knows best what is correct for them. His rule is establishedand does not change through the course of days. And it is correct for the peopleof all times. There can be no honor for he Muslims except in their return to th

e studying of Islam, individually or in groups or through the governments, in accordance to Allah's statement: "Verily, Allah will not change the condition of apeople, as long as they do not change it themselves." Surat-ur-Ra'ad [13:11].12. The Saved Sect calls the Muslims to the Jihaad in the way of Allah and it is an obligation upon every Muslim who is capable and in the means of doing it. And the Jihaad should be in the following ways:

A. Jihaad with the tongue and the pen. This is done by calling the Muslim as well as others to the correct form of Islam and the Tawheed of Allaah free from any form of Shirk such as that which has become widespread in many of the Muslimlands. And which the Messenger of Allaah informed us would occur admits the Muslims, by his saying: "The Hour will not be established until a tribe from my umma

h joins the polytheists and until a tribe from my ummah worship idols."

B. Jihaad with the wealth. This is done by giving money for the spreading of Islam and the publication of books of Da'wah calling towards the correct views. Itshould be done by the distribution of wealth to the authors who will then assists those, whose hearts are from among the weakest of Muslims so that it may strengthen them. It should be done by the manufacturing and the purchasing of weaponsand equipment for the Mujaahideen (those who fight for the sake of Islam), andother necessary things such as food, clothing and things of that sort.

C. Jihaad with the body. This is done by fighting and joining in the battlefieldfor the purpose of giving victory to Islam, so the words of Allaah can be raised high, and so the words of the disbelievers can be put low. The Messenger has

indicated these types of Jihaad, in His statement: "Wage Jihaad (fight/struggle)against the polytheists with your wealth, yourselves and your tongues."

The Signs Of The Saved Sect

1. The Saved Sect are the fewest among people. The Messenger, sallallahu alejhiwe sellem, supplicated for them with this statement: "Toobaa is for the stranger: A people who rectify (themselves and others) among people who are in much evil. Those who disobey them are greater in number than those who obey them." 16

The Glorious Qur'an has informed us of them. Allaah, praising them, Says: "But few of My slaves are grateful." Surah Saba' [34:13].2. The Saved Sect are the ones who a majority of the people hold as enemies. They are trodden upon and insulted by being given bad names. Consequently, they take the example of the Messenger, sallallahu alejhu we sellem, of whom Allah has spoken about, when He said: "And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies;shayaateen (devils) among mankind and jinn, inspiring one another with adornedspeech as a delusion." Surat-ul-Ana'aam [6:112].

And this was the case with our Messenger, sallallahu alejhu we sellem. His people would call him a "magician" and a "liar" when he would call them to worship and believe in only Allaah, even though, before that they used to call him the "truthful" and the "trustworthy".

3. Shaikh 'Abdul 'Azeez Bin Baaz Rahimahullaah was asked concerning the Saved Sect, so he responded: "They are the Salafiyoon and everyone who follow the footsteps of the Salaf-us_Saalih (The pious predecessors; the Prophet his companions and everyone who follows their methodology)."

These are some of the methodologies and signs of the Saved Sect, I will talk some more, in later chapters of this book, on the Aqeedah (belief/creed) of the Saved Sect, who are also known as the Victorious Group, so that we may be upon thei

r Aqeedah, if Allaah wills.

Who Is The Victorious Group?

1. The Messenger, sallallahu alejhi we sellem, said: "There will not cease to bea group from my ummah dominant upon the truth. Those who abandon them will notbe able to harm them until the Decree of Allah comes."

And he said: "If the people of Shaam become corrupt, then there is no good in them. And there will not cease to be a group from my ummah that will be victorious

. Those who abandon them will not be able to harm them, until the Hour is established."

2. Ibn Al-Mubaarak Rahimahullaah said: "To me, they are Ashaab-ul-hadeeth."

3. Al-Bukhaaree Rahimahullaah reported that 'Alee Ibn Al-Madeenee said: "They are Ashaab-ul-hadeeth."

4. And Ahmad Ibn Hanbal Rahimahullaah said: "If the victorious group is not theAshaab-ul-hadeeth, then I do not who they are."

5. Imaam Ash-Shaaf'iee Rahimahullaah said that Ahmad Ibn Hanbal gave a speech and said: "You are more knowledgeable of hadeeth than I am. So if a hadeeth comes

to you, that is authentic, then inform me of it until that becomes my opinion, regardless of whether it be from Hijaaz, Koofah or Basrah."
