Sheikh Muhammad Saleh al-Munajjid
It is incumbent to adhere to the
understanding of the Salaf, because this way has at its beginning the
pious gathering of the Sahabah who took the religion directly from the
Messenger of Allah. They were the best of those who understood the
teachings and adhered to them in a way that gained the Pleasure of Allah
– the Most Gracious.
“And the first to embrace Islam of the
Muhajirun and the Ansar and also those who followed them exactly (in
Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with
Him.” [Soorah At-Tawbah: 100]
The belief of the Sahabah is an example
for us to follow, as Allah says in the Qur’an: “So if they believe in
the like of that which you believe, they are rightly guided, but if they
turn away, then they are only in opposition.” [2:137]
Furthermore, the Qur’aan exhorts us to follow the way of the believers, which is a reference to the way of the Sahabah.
“And whoever contradicts and opposes the
Messenger (Muhammad) after the right path has been shown clearly to him,
and follows other than the way of the believers. We shall keep him in
the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell – what an evil
destination.” [Soorah An-Nisaa: 115]
