The questioner : The hadith narrated by Mu'awiyah from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
The Shaykh : seventy-two in the Fire and one
The questioner : in Paradise, namelyJami` at-Tirmidhi 2641Da'if (Darussalam) Is democracy in this time, or the parties that have become established in our country, does it fall under this hadith, meaning is it included in them? Meaning, will it be among these seventy-two sects?
The Shaykh : No, and of course it is not Islamic, but the intended meaning of the sect or the different sects in religion, and democracy and communism and so on, these are not religious sects, these are secular sects, so these are outside the circle of Islam. When did I say? Yes, what is wrong with you, do you not believe in the Hereafter? You forgot the hadith? The answer was made clear to you.
The questioner : Of course, this person who was upon the fitrah
Another questioner : Peace be upon you
The questioner : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings, he will be upon the fitrah, for example, from our children, it is permissible for us, and praise be to Allah, by the grace of Allah, and then the grace that you and I awoke and we had religious awareness that this is the path, it is the path of salvation, may Allah make us among the saved, you and I.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : Now it is possible that our children come, for example, we have parties in Jordan, a party, for example, Arab nationalism and so on, and he thinks that this path is straight, for example.
The Shaykh : From where does he think?
The questioner : From the call that he is called to.
The Shaykh : The issue has gone beyond what I was aiming at, Allah said:[Al-Kahf 18:103-105] So the disbelievers think that they are doing well, but do we say about the disbelievers that they are a sect from the seventy-three sects? The answer is no.
The questioner : Now I understood.
The Shaykh : Well, peace be upon you.
The questioner: And upon you peace.
Verily, among the People of the Book, they divided into seventy-two sects, and this Ummah will divide into seventy-three sects, seventy-two in the Fire and one in Paradise

What I am upon and my Companions
مثل ما أنا عليه و أصحابيThe Shaykh : No, and of course it is not Islamic, but the intended meaning of the sect or the different sects in religion, and democracy and communism and so on, these are not religious sects, these are secular sects, so these are outside the circle of Islam.

(104) [They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work." (105) Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him

The Shaykh : Well, peace be upon you.
