ASCRIPTION TO THE SALAFI MANHAJ FINAL PART

 

THE ASCRIPTION TO OTHER JAMAA’AAT

Ascription to Naqshbandeeyah

‘This Tareeqa (way) ascribes itself to Muhammad Baha-uddeen Shah Naqshband. The ascription for this 

Tareeqa[38] is from his name and it has became known with that. He was born in the village of Bukhara 

(717 – 791 A.H)’ ‘He was given the title of Naqshband because of a print of the word ‘Allaah’ engraved upon the front of his heart, due to a lot of remembrance of Allaah.

It has been said he was called Naqshband, because the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-placed his noble palm on the heart of shaykh Muhammad Baha-uddeen al-Awaysee Naqshband, so it became engraved on his heart.’ ‘Ahmad al-Farooqi as-Sarhindi (1034 A.H.) revived and spread the Tareeqa in India.’[39]

ASCRIPTION TO THE SALAFI MANHAJ PART 4

 The Necessity of the Title ‘Salafeeyah’ to Distinguish from Ahl-ulBida’

‘’Muhammad Nasir- Deen Al-Albaani (d.1420A.H) -Rahimullaah- said:‘Indeed all the sects, no matter how close or how far they are from the Book and the Sunnah, it is not possible for any one of them to say, ‘I am upon the Manhaj of the Salaf -due to an excellence from Allaah –Azza wa Jal – except for those who embody the Manhaj of  the Salaf as-Salih in their Dawa’, Manhaj and manners. 26] ‘’Ubayd bin Abdullaah al- Jabiree said: ‘So you do not find a   halafee (one who opposes Salafeeyah), especially from those who ascribe themselves to the modern day Dawa’ groups, except that he hates the ascription to Salafeeyah. Because
Salafeeyah is not just an ascription, rather Salafeeyah is singling out pure sincerity for Allaah and singling out following the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam.’[27]

Muhammad Nasir- Deen Al-Albaani (d.1420A.H) -Rahimullaah- was asked: ‘Why don’t the Salafeeyoon leave these titles?’ ‘’Al-Albaani -Rahimullaah- answered: ‘If you leave off the ascription to so and so Hizb (party), and to such and such Hizb, and leave off the ascription to such and such Madhab (school of thought) then at that time we can say we are Muslims. As for these names then they exemplify divisions in this Ummah due to current ideologies and biasness to Madhahib. Therefore, there is nothing wrong, if we say: we will gather all these ascriptions into one ascription and this is not possible for anyone from those people (those who follow Madhahib and Ahazaab[28]) – if they have knowledge of the truth that they can dispute whether that the Dawat-us-Salafeeyah is the true Dawa’ or not, and as proof for this we use the saying of Allaah Ta’ala:  

وَ مَنْ يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدَى وَ يَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّى

 وَ نُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ سَاءَتْ مَصِيراً 

<< And whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has become clear to him and follows other than the way of the believers – We will give him what he has taken and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination. >> [An-nisai 115]
