Advice for the one who has become righteous regarding the division among the youth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, the questioner says: I have recently become righteous, and I am in the midst of this division that is occurring among the youth. Everyone says the truth is with him, and so-and-so has no truth. What do you advise me? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The truth is not with the youth. The truth is in following the Sunnah and following the sound methodology; that is the truth, whether the youth are upon it or they oppose it. You follow the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community and the truth. If they are not pleased with that, leave it and do not follow them. Praise be to Allah, we have a sound and correct scale, which is the Book and the Sunnah, and what the Salaf of this Ummah were upon. And we in this land, praise be to Allah, are upon one methodology and one school of jurisprudence. Our rulers and our common people have no other methodologies or other schools of jurisprudence that contradict the school of the people of the Sunnah and the community. So we proceed upon this methodology. Whoever comes with us, praise be to Allah, and whoever turns away from it, we leave him and do not pay attention to him. Yes.
