Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I heard from some of those who claim to be scholars that he says there is no group today that can assert that it represents the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the methodology of his Companions, but rather there are groups, and each group is closer to the truth than the other. What is the correctness of this statement?
Answer:
This is from the takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) people who declare people disbelievers and misguide them. In it, there is a group, and praise be to Allah, the earth is never empty until the Hour comes. This group continues to exist. This statement contradicts the hadith. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Blessed and Exalted is He). The hadith indicates that there is a group that remains upon the truth until the command of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) comes, whereas this person says there is no group upon the truth.

A group from my Ummah will remain manifestly upon the truth, and those who abandon them or oppose them will not harm them, until the command of Allah comes.
لا تزال طائفة من أمتي على الحق ظاهرين لا يضرهم من خذلهم ولا من خالفهم حتى يأتي أمر الله
