On Islamic Movements and Their Call to the Sunnah

The Shaykh : What does Allah and the Messenger command you to do right now regarding the thing you are accusing others of?

The questioner : No, it is not an accusation; it is a question.

The Shaykh : There is no power or might except in Allah! You are not accusing them, you are not accusing them... So what are you asking about? What is it that you are asking?

The questioner : All Islamic movements in the present time focus most of all on the Sunnah.

The Shaykh : This statement is not correct. There is not a single movement that revolves around the Sunnah. There is not a single movement other than the Salafi Da'wah; it is the first one. Where are all the other movements?

The questioner : I do not mean you, the Salafi movement.

The Shaykh : There is no power or might except in Allah! You are saying: "All movements call to the Sunnah." I tell you: No. How did it enter your mind that they call to the Sunnah? Does the Tahrir Party call to the Sunnah? Do the Muslim Brothers call to the Sunnah? And they put videos and pictures in the mosques, and so on. What is this talk? Do not hold me to this; your question requires a session longer than this actual session.
