He spoke about the verse: “And whoever opposes the Messenger after the clear proof has come to him and follows other than the way of the believers.”

The Shaykh : And I remind you of a verse, which is the saying of Allah the Exalted: This verse is what I use to affirm the obligation regarding the previous question. What is the distinction between a group that, like all groups, believes that the reference is the Book and the Sunnah? What is the decisive ruling? It is the way of the believers. Now, the Tahrir Party does not believe in the way of the believers, and this is part of their path. Whether they were a party at some point and then abandoned party politics, or they were not a party, or rather they have party ideas, the way of the believers is not followed by most of the existing Islamic groups today, such as the groups, parties, and old sects. They are not upon what the Muslims were upon. Therefore, we say—and this is important, and this religion is advice—that every Muslim, whether he is a Tahriri, an Ikhwan, or a Tablighi, must focus in his creed that returning to the Book and the Sunnah alone in this time is not sufficient, because every group, as we agreed earlier, claims, as the poet said:
“And every one claims a connection to Layla, *** But Layla does not approve of their claim.”
Who is the sincere group in their affiliation to the Book and the Sunnah? It is the one that follows the way of the believers. The first thing that comes to mind from this Qur'anic text is what came in its explanation in the Sunnah. Therefore, the Mu'tazilah and their like, and their followers, strike the Sunnah at its core so that the atmosphere is clear for them to interpret the Qur'an as they please. And so you heard what he said; that is his religion. I had hoped that this was a verbal slip, so we would say, “May Allah [mean it] with his heart and not with his tongue.” But unfortunately, that is his religion. Every verse can be interpreted by any interpretation from the interpretations that deviate from the way of the believers...
