Abandoning the call to the Book and the Sunnah among all Islamic parties and sects

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Today, you do not hear a voice raised from any group, sect, or party calling for Muslims to return to the Book and the Sunnah in matters where they differ, except the people of the Sunnah, the people of hadith, in all lands of Islam. They are the only ones who call people to what their Lord called them to, which is returning to the Book and the Sunnah
And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day فإن تنازعتم في شيء فردّوه إلى الله و الرّسول إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر
[An-Nisa 4:59]
So if today the Islamic callers, except for those we have excluded, do not apply this divine command to return to the Book and Sunnah in cases of disagreement, how can they establish the state of Islam? One who lacks a thing cannot give it. Therefore, we are extremely keen to practice Islam as a whole, and specifically regarding this hadith which addresses the existing problem today
Allah will impose upon you a humiliation which He will not remove from you until you return to your religion. سلط الله عليكم ذلا ينزعه عنكم حتى ترجعوا إلى دينكم
Religion must be held with absolute certainty in the heart of every Muslim that it has only one concept, because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) described His noble Book by saying, Blessed and Exalted is He:
If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction. ولو كان من عند غير الله لوجدوا فيه اختلافا كثيرا
[An-Nisa 4:82]
So the existence of this disagreement, whether in beliefs, rulings, or methodologies, as is the reality of Islamic groups today, is proof that it is not from Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). What is the methodology that Muslims must follow if they are serious and sincere in wanting to regain their honor and glory? He (peace and blessings be upon him) answered a question like this by saying:
until you return to your original religion حتى ترجعوا إلى دينكم
Sunan Abi Dawud 3462Sahih (Al-Albani)
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned something similar to this remedy in another hadith, and that other hadith is also true... .
