The Path to the Unity of Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Therefore, in our time, we feel that we are in greater need than ever of unity of word and unity of rank. In my belief, there is no way to achieve this desired unity except by unifying the reference and unifying the constitution and law, which is undoubtedly one for the Muslims, because they have nothing but the Book and the Sunnah. No one can gather what has been scattered of the Muslims' affairs and unify their word upon one of the four madhahib, the madhahib of the people of the Sunnah as they call them, let alone the other madhahib such as the Shi'ah and the Zaydiyyah and their like. The Muslims cannot respond when they truly resolve to unify their word except by returning to the original source in which they all believe. This is the path that it is obligatory for us to follow: that we return to the Book and the Sunnah, seeking help in understanding them by what the Salaf were upon, and then by what the four Imams and others explained and detailed. We seek help with their sayings in understanding the Book and the Sunnah, and we do not make them the original source. That is better for us, so that we may respond to the call of our Lord, and He is the One who said—Mighty and Majestic—: [Al-Anfal 8:24] "And you will be gathered to Him," and all praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
The student : And that.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student :[Al-Anfal 8:24] .
The Shaykh[Al-Anfal 8:24], and all praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
The student : May Allah reward our Shaykh and our noble teacher, Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani, with the best reward, and may Allah make us and him among those who follow the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And I would like to point out first that if there are questions, the question should be of a type of brevity that is not wasteful, and if there are comments, they should not exceed three minutes, as we have been accustomed to in our previous meetings. Now, may Allah reward you, the brothers who wish to ask a question or make a comment, please record yourselves. Please, my brother Ali...
O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِThe student : And that.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student :
and that to Him you will be gathered.
وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَThe Shaykh
and that to Him you will be gathered.
وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَThe student : May Allah reward our Shaykh and our noble teacher, Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani, with the best reward, and may Allah make us and him among those who follow the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And I would like to point out first that if there are questions, the question should be of a type of brevity that is not wasteful, and if there are comments, they should not exceed three minutes, as we have been accustomed to in our previous meetings.
