Clarification of the Correct Creed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, may Allah bless you: What is the correct creed that I must follow, as it was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
The correct creed is that which conforms to the Book and the Sunnah, and it is what the Salaf of this Ummah and their followers from among the scholars and the four Imams who followed the righteous Salaf were upon, as He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Himالْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَانٍ رَّضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ
[At-Tawbah 9:100]
. So the correct creed is what the righteous Salaf were upon, who are the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and those who came after them. This is the correct creed. And praise be to Allah, this creed has been recorded in extensive and concise books. So you must read and study these books with the scholars to know what the correct creed is from these books. Yes.
