The fifth point is to avoid religious innovations and warn against them.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The 'Abassi festival: And the fifth principle, as I recall, is to avoid religious innovations, abandon newly invented matters, and shun them. Among the greatest of these religious innovations added to Islam, and attributed to it falsely and falsely, are the Sufi paths, which have gradually deviated and led people into various labyrinths, false beliefs, and philosophies that are entirely contrary to Islam. These religious innovations, these Sufi paths, this... the wretched innovator, which is not befitting a sane person, is also something we deny, and we call upon all people to agree upon one methodology:

Say, "This is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me.

قُلْ هَذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَة أَنَا وَمَن اتَّبَعَنِي

[Yusuf: 108]

And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from His way

وَأَنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ

[Al-An'am: 153]. Finally, we hope that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) will honor us by carrying this call, and that He will enable us to support it, and make us sincere callers to it in word and deed, and that He will please our eyes by allowing us to see its effects and results and its spread in our society and throughout the world, if Allah wills.

And that day the believers will rejoice ⁽⁵⁾ In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ * بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنصُرُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وهو العزيز الرحيم

[Ar-Rum: 5], and all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
