Warning Against Sectarianism and Factionalism Among Muslims

Question:
Abu 'Abd al-Muhsin from Najran, please go ahead, Abu 'Abd al-Muhsin. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy. Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. In the recent period, there has been a lot of talk about the sects in Islam: this one is a brother, this one is a Tablighi, this one is a Salafi, which leads to division among the Muslims. What is your guidance? May Allah reward you with good, if Allah wills, especially since it has reached the point of some cursing of some scholars and supplications against students of knowledge. Thank you. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
My brother, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us about the splitting up, and they said, "This community will split into seventy-three sects, all in the Fire except one." It was asked, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Whoever is on today and my Companions." It is obligatory for Muslims to be one group upon the Sunnah, the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and what the righteous Salaf were upon. The one who opposes this must repent and return to this methodology. Allah the Exalted said: Warning against the misguided sects is obligatory. It is not said that people are free or that everyone goes their own way. It is obligatory for Muslims to return to the truth, to be a community, and to hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together, and not to split up, and not to be like those who split up and differed after the clear proofs had come to them, and for those is a great punishment. Yes.
