The Meaning of the Ummah in the Hadith of the Split
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: It is mentioned in the hadith that the ummah (the Muslim community) will split, or is going to split. What is meant by the ummah here? And is the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) statement that all of them are in the Fire?
Answer:
They are the ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) before the split. As for after they split, they differ in their splitting. Some do not leave the ummah but become misguided and not mistaken, while others leave the ummah and become liars. They differ in their splitting; they are not on the same level.
