Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am a young man, and in our country there are many Islamic groups, including the Supporters of the Muhammadan Sunnah, the Salafi group, the Tabligh and Da'wah group, and others. Is it obligatory for me to adhere to a specific group, or should I worship Allah according to what came in His Book and the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), following the way of the righteous Salaf, and following the evidence wherever it is, without adopting any designation other than that I am a Muslim following the way of the Prophet and his Companions?
Answer:
Cooperation in righteousness and piety is good. So if you find a group that is upright and on a sound methodology, cooperate with them, because Muslims cooperate in righteousness and piety. The best of these groups that we know of now are the Supporters of the Muhammadan Sunnah, because they are on a correct creed and they call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah). They forbid shirk (associating partners with Allah) and bid'ah (religious innovations), so they are the best of the groups currently on the scene. Yes. May Allah reward you. It is finished. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
