Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a message received from the questioner, your sister in Allah, Sumayyah 'Ali from Sudan. She says: Tell us, O Shaykh, about the saved sect, and does it belong to a specific name? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows: The saved sect is the sect that followed the methodology of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his Companions, and those who followed them with excellence. These are the saved sect; they are those who held fast to the Book of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and they proceeded upon his guidance and the guidance of his Companions and those who followed them with excellence in speech, action, and creed. They are the ones referred to in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
my nation will split into seventy-two, all of which will be in Hell apart from oneتفترق أمتي على ثلاث وسبعين فرقة، كلها في النار إلا واحدة
Sunan Ibn Majah 3993Sahih (Darussalam)
It was said: O Messenger of Allah! Who are they? He said:
The group.الجماعة
And in another wording, he said:
Whoever is upon what I and my Companions are upon.من كان على ما أنا عليه وأصحابي
These are the saved sect, those who hold fast to the great Book, which is the Qur'an, and the pure Sunnah, and who proceed upon the path of the Companions, the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and those who followed them with excellence. They are those who revere the Book of their Lord and judge by it, and likewise the Sunnah of their Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They test the sayings of people against the Book and the Sunnah, acting in accordance with the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) :
And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messengerفَإِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ
[Al-Nisa: 59] and acting in accordance with His saying (Mighty and Majestic):
And in anything over which you disagree - its ruling is [to be referred] to Allah.وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ
[Al-Shura: 10]. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
