A Response to Those Who Link Daesh to Salafism and the Al-Durar al-Suniyyah

Question:
One of the preachers in our country attacks the creed of the righteous Salaf, saying that al-Qa'ida and Daesh are a Salafi growth. Another said that the books of al-Durar, the collection al-Durar al-Suniyyah, are the source of terrorism. We ask for clarification and explanation. May Allah reward you.

Answer:
This is misguidance. This is terrorism. This speech is terrorism. It frightens people from the call to truth, the call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), the call to the Sunnah. It frightens them from that and attributes to it what is innocent of it. So what is upon him are the misguided sects, and he attributes them to the school of the people of the Sunnah. He attributes them to al-Durar al-Suniyyah. This is a lie and a fabrication. He wants to invalidate the call to Allah the Exalted and to distort it to what he wants, which is misguiding people and making them disdain the school of the Salaf. There is no salvation except by the school of the Salaf. Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The end of this Ummah will not be set right except by what set right its beginning." This is as in the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "You will split into..." They said: "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Those upon whom I am today." This is the correct methodology and the sound methodology. Yes.
