Some criticize the Salafis, saying they have no methodology in calling to Allah, and asking why they do not form a party like the others. What is your answer?

Al-Halabi : This is a question that has been asked many times, and you have answered it repeatedly, but our brotherThe questioner : insists on asking about this so that all the brothers may benefit. He says: There are those who criticize the Salafi callers to Allah, saying they have no methodology or organization. What is the answer? And is there a necessity for organization on the model of contemporary parties? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : We disavow to Allah any resemblance to those who contradict the texts of the Book and the Sunnah, which prohibit division. And one of the strongest causes of division is blind, deaf, and mute partisanship. So we disavow to Allah any resemblance to those who take partisanship as a means of calling to Islam, without realizing that partisanship divides the Muslims beyond the division they are already living and experiencing in this time. That division is a result of an earlier, ancient division. We are now living in the worst of these results, and we do not stop there; rather, we create new causes and means that increase the division among the Muslims, and even within the single group that belongs to acting upon the Book and the Sunnah. There, a party is established under the name "The Salafi Party," which differs from the Salafis in general in that it is organized in this manner. In my opinion, it follows the organization of some Islamic parties that do not affiliate with the Da'wah known in some countries as the Salafi Da'wah, in other countries as the Da'wah of the Supporters of the Muhammadan Sunnah, and in a third set of countries as the Da'wah of the People of Hadith. There are some parties that affiliate only with Islam, which has no concept for them; and if it does have a concept, it has multiple, mutually contradictory faces, the most extreme kind of contradiction. They are content only to agree on Islam. As for what Islam is? What is the creed of Islam? Each person from this same party gives you an answer that differs from the other. There is no surprise in this regarding such parties that do not adopt the Salafi Da'wah as their methodology in their understanding of their religion, whether in creed, rulings, or conduct. There is no surprise in that, because they do not know. But what is it that we hear in this recent time, people from among us and within us who call with our call, affirm our tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and follow the Sunnah of our Prophet with us? Now they have been influenced by the other groups, so they have formed parties and blocs. And it is not against the other parties, but against those who were with them, because they did not join their party, so they became their enemies and opponents. That is part of the evil of contradicting the like of the saying of Allah the Mighty and Majestic: So Islam does not recognize partisanship at all. Rather, it is obligatory that we be like one body; if one part of it is afflicted, the rest of the body responds to it with fever and sleeplessness. But we have tried partisanship before this new party. We tried it, and it divided the ranks of the Muslim people who are united by the call of Islam. Why? Because they declared on many occasions that the community of Muslims is only such-and-such a party; only these are the community of Muslims. This is part of the evil of partisanship, bloc-building, and division in the call to Islam...
