Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Salam

I would like to know

1. Does this websites is of Salfis?

2. Does the Moderators of this websites is Salfis?

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Are we salafis

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Beloved and dear Brother in Islam, our sole intention is to follow The Quran and the Sunnah, and Allah is our witness neither is this humble website of ours nor its moderators Salafis, Shafeis, Hanafis, Malikis, Hanbali, or any other sect for that matter!  Our sole and only intention is to follow the guidance of the Quran and the Sunnah, and we would consider it an honor to be recognized only by the name that Allah Subhanah has chosen for the believers: that is, ‘muslims’.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah Hajj verse 77-78:

O you who have believed,  do ‘rukooh’ (bow down) and do ‘sajdah’ (prostration), and worship your Lord Allah Alone, and do righteous deeds: it may be that you attain true success!  Exert your utmost for the cause of Allah,  as one should.   He has chosen you for His service, and has not laid on you any hardship in your religion.   Therefore,  be steadfast in the religion of your father Abraham.   Allah had named you ‘muslims’ before this, and has named you (muslims) in this Quran also,  so that the Messenger may be a witness in regard to you,  and you may be witnesses in regard to the rest of mankind.

As much as we do respect the opinions of every great and eminent scholar of the past who devoted their lives in the clarification of the Islamic Fiqh and Jurisprudence, we absolutely assure you that neither this humble website nor its moderators are Salafis, or aligned towards any other sect….all of us are content and satisfied to be recognized by the name Allah Subhanah Himself has chosen for the believers; ie. ‘Muslims’. 

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),   one can be assured of never ever being misled;   but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.  

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
