Question:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, so what is this sect? Is it the group of the Muhammadan Sunnah, or the group of jihad, or the group of the Salafis?
Answer:
The saved sect are the followers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); they are the saved sect, whether they call themselves Salafis, mujahideen, the Muslim Brotherhood, or anything else. They are the followers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who followed the Book and the Sunnah, who established the oneness of Allah, who were sincere to Him in their deeds, and who followed their Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Even if they commit sins and do evil deeds, they are still within the saved sect.
As for those who deviated from his religion and his path and introduced into the religion what Allah has not permitted, they are the other seventy-two sects.
As for the people of the Book and the Sunnah who held fast to them, who took them as their religion, and who acted upon them, they are the saved sect. Even if some of them commit sins and do evil deeds, this is under the will of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), and it does not exclude them from being among the saved sect.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The Jews split into seventy-one sects, and the Christians into seventy-two sects, and my Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of them in the Fire except one.
