The Difference Between the Salafis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Tablighi Jamaat

Question:
A questioner was harsh with us in his question, saying: "I swear by Allah, I will complain to my Lord about you on the Day of Resurrection, for you have covered me up." I hope you will be generous and give a ruling. Abu 'Abdullah said: "Shaykh, should I continue with it?" He said: "I hope, I hope, and I hope that you will drop it. I hope, I hope that you will drop it. If we know the answer, we will answer. Allah knows best."

Answer:
He says: "We have a teacher who says he is a Salafi, and that the Tablighi Jamaat are regressives, and that the Muslim Brotherhood, including As-Sayyid and Tariq al-Suwaidi, are misguided regressives, and that they are from the Muslim Brotherhood. He asks: Who are the Muslim Brotherhood? Who are the Salafis? Who is the Tablighi Jamaat? Clarify this for me, O our Shaykh, for I have done good in it, and I have doubted my religion, my righteous colleagues, and our scholars. Is his statement correct?" He wrote: "My brother, there are books written that clarify who the Muslim Brotherhood are and what their methodology is, and there are books that clarify who the Tablighi Jamaat are and what their methodology is. Buy them from the markets and read them. If Allah wills, you will know who the Tablighi Jamaat are and what their methodology is, and you will know who the Muslim Brotherhood are and what their methodology is. As for the Salafis, they are those who are upon the methodology of the Salaf al-Salih (the Pious Predecessors); he is called a Salafi if he is upon the methodology in reality, not just by himself or by claim, but upon the methodology in reality. This is the Salaf."
There are specific books on this. There are books about the Tablighi Jamaat. A book by Muhammad Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him), the Pakistani scholar. And a book by Taki al-Din al-Jilani, the Moroccan. And a book by Shaykh Mahmud ibn 'Abd Allah al-Tuwayji (may Allah have mercy on him). The group in the Tabligh and their methodology has writings about them.
There are also writings about the Muslim Brotherhood that clarify their methodology, including their own books. Read from their books and you will know their call, their methodology, and what they are upon. And the writings of al-Banna, his memoirs, and the writings of al-Qutb, especially *In the Shade of the Qur'an* (or *The World in the Path*? - *Note: The Arabic says "al-'Alam fi al-Tariq" which is likely a mishearing of "fi Zilal al-Qur'an" or a specific title, but literally "The World in the Path"). This clarifies their methodology. And those who refuted them, or do you not know what the errors are that they have? From the books that refuted them, it is not few. Yes.
