Question:
We seek advice on adhering to the methodology of the righteous predecessors, because the sects have multiplied and evil has increased.
Answer:
You must adhere to what the righteous predecessors were upon, but you will not be able to adhere to it until you know it. Study the creed of the predecessors. This is what leads the state and the scholars, may Allah grant them success, to establish the creed of the predecessors—tawhid (the oneness of Allah)—in the schools, institutes, and colleges, and in the mosques, for this purpose. Yes.
