Affiliation with Islamic Groups and Sects

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a young Egyptian and I am very confused, wavering between whether to be with the Salafis, or the Tabligh, or the Muslim Brotherhood, or the Jihadists, or the Takfir and Hijrah group? Clarify all of these for me, and show me the saved sect, and know that I will argue with you before Allah that I asked you about this.

Answer:
All these sects you asked about must fear Allah and be upright in the command of Allah, all of them, and they must seek what Allah and His Messenger have ordered, whether the Supporters of the Sunnah, or the Muslim Brotherhood, or the Tabligh group, or others; all of them must fear Allah and cooperate in righteousness and piety, and not dispute, and strive to obey Allah and His Messenger, call people to good, teach them good, and what benefits them in this world and the Hereafter. The closest to me in terms of good and sound creed are the Supporters of the Sunnah, who are with you in Sudan and in Egypt. You should stick with the Supporters of the Sunnah and benefit from Shaykh Muhammad Ali Abd al-Rahim, and the gatherings of the Supporters of the Sunnah in your Cairo, and they are among the best of people, and among those of sound creed, and among the followers of the Sunnah, all of them having sound creed and calling to Allah, and they are among the best of people, and the Tabligh group, and all of them have good in them and there is good in them, but the Supporters of the Sunnah are stronger than them in creed, better than them in creed, and in scrutinizing the creed and caring for it. And those, if Allah wills, have good in them; they should be better than their current state in caring for the creed, calling people to the character of worshipping Allah alone, holding fast to the Sunnah, and not being lenient in these matters. The point is that the Supporters of the Sunnah are the strongest in this matter, so stick with them and you will be in a good state, if Allah wills.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
