Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... I preferred to move on from that and spoke about one point. I mean, truly, in my mind, it is clear that all these groups demand the application of the Book and the Sunnah.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : But the disagreement centers on one point, which is [following] the methodology of the righteous Salaf as understood by the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). It would be desirable if you would open the windows to sit with these people and clarify this point. And, if Allah wills, we will find that many of them, by the permission of Allah the Exalted, are listening, if Allah wills, because... it opens the door for them so that, I mean, everyone can hear such matters clearly, especially since there are energies present among the youth that need this kind of discussion. May Allah bless you and reward you with good, and if Allah wills...
The Shaykh : A blessed suggestion.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : What do you think if I entrust you with its implementation?
The questioner : By Allah, I am ready. I am ready to offer my effort in this field, by the permission of Allah the Exalted.
The Shaykh : And we have been ready since we understood something of this knowledge.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : To meet with every Muslim.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Who testifies that there is no god but Allah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and [who follows] the methodology of the righteous Salaf. We are ready.
The questioner : The righteous Salaf. This is a very important point, because it is necessary to return to the sources.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. Peace be upon you.
The questioner: And upon you peace.
The Shaykh: Yes.
