Salafi Maktab — Islamic Library

"

Salafiyyah is not a newly invented methodology, nor is it a party or group that people affiliate themselves with. Rather, Salafiyyah is the methodology of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ — the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and those who followed them in goodness.

It is adherence to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ upon the understanding of the early generations of this Ummah. Whoever follows this methodology is upon the truth, whether he calls himself Salafi or does not call himself Salafi."

"

The Salafiyyah are Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jamāʿah. They are those who follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah upon the way of the Salaf of this Ummah — the Companions, the Tābiʿīn, and those who followed them with excellence.

Therefore, calling to Salafiyyah is not calling to a sect or a group; rather, it is calling to Islam in its correct and pure form."

"

Salafiyyah is not a partisan affiliation, nor is it restricted to a specific time or place. Rather, Salafiyyah is the correct methodology which the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions were upon.

As for those who think Salafiyyah divides the Ummah, then this is false — because division only occurs when people abandon the truth."
