A Summary of the Words on the Obligation of Adhering to the Methodology of the Salaf.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... and the summary is: the methodology of the Salaf must be adhered to, and it is the guarantee that the Muslim will be from the saved sect, and not from the misguided sects. That is the protection.
And it is necessary to draw attention, finally, to the fact that when we call all Muslims to adhere to the Book and the Sunnah, and to the methodology of the righteous Salaf, for the clear proofs and authentic evidence we mentioned earlier, we are not distant from them in the original faith in the Book and the Sunnah. Rather, we do them the favor of calling them to the Book and the Sunnah. This is because we believe they are sick in their beliefs, in which they have deviated from the Book and the Sunnah. So we call them as the obligation of calling requires, which is a fundamental rule for everyone who wants to call to Islam. That is His saying—Blessed and Exalted is He:[An-Nahl 16:125]. It is obligatory that we not be lax with these people who have deviated from the methodology of the righteous Salaf; not only in many rulings, but also in many beliefs, as we mentioned earlier, for example, regarding the attributes, the punishment of the grave, and the like. We call them in the best manner, and we do not declare them disbelievers, nor do we separate from them, due to his saying—peace and blessings be upon him: .
Perhaps this amount is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Is there anything?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ... in some of the questions.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : ... May Allah reward our Shaykh with the best reward for this advice, which is understanding this religion according to the methodology of our righteous Salaf. There are some questions that help in completing this topic, so we present them to our Shaykh.

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best
ادْعُ إِلَى سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالحِكْمَةِ وَالمَوْعِظَةِ الحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُمْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُThat Allah should guide a man through your hand is more beloved to me than the red camels.
لَأَن يهدي الله على يديك رجلًا أحبُّ إليَّ من حمر النعمPerhaps this amount is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
