Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In a lengthy question, summarized as follows: What are the principles of the Salafi call, what is their relationship to the call of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, and are the groups currently present in the scene, such as Tabligh and the Muslim Brotherhood, the fruits of the call of Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab?
Answer:
The call is the call of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and of those reformers who followed his example. It is a call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), to the worship of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and to repentance from sins and disobedience. This is the correct call. Any other calls that do not focus on tawhid and do not focus on 'aqidah (creed) are not correct calls. These are calls with their own goals and objectives. If their goal were the face of Allah, they would have started with 'aqidah, just as the messengers (peace be upon them) did. The first thing they do with their nations is call them to 'aqidah and correct their 'aqidah. This is the correct and sound methodology. Whoever deviates from it is not calling to Allah, but rather calling to what he himself desires.
