The Difference Between the Saved Sect and the Victorious Group
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it true that there is a difference between the saved sect and the victorious group? We hear people repeating this claim during these days.
Answer:
The scholars, both in the past and in recent times, have not distinguished between the saved sect and the victorious group. This is a new, invented statement. A group cannot be saved unless it is victorious, and it cannot be victorious unless it is saved. They are descriptions of one single sect: they are the people of the Sunnah, they are the community, and they are the saved sect. This is derived from the collective evidence of the hadiths describing them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
