MY CREED…

Asalaamualaikum warahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu

1. I Believe in Allaah, his Names and attributes as they are mentioned in the
Book of Allaah and in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu
Alayhee Was-Sallam), without distortion, figurative explanation, nor
likening, nor resemblance nor denial.

2. I love all the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee

Was-Sallam) and I hate those who speak against them. Imraan bin
Hussain (Radhiallaahu Anhu) said, "Oh people learn the knowledge of the
religion from us (i.e. companions) if you do not do so you will certainly be
misguided." (al-Kifaayah pg.15)

3. I love the people of hadeeth and all of the Salaf of the Ummah from Ahlus-
Sunnah. Imaam Shaatibee said, "The pious predecessors, the companions,
the successors and their successors knew the Qur'aan and its sciences and
its meaning the best." (al-Muwaafiqaat 2/79)

4. I despise the knowledge of theological rhetoric and I view it to be from

amongst the greatest reasons for the division in ummah.

5. I only accept the Qur'aan and authentic hadeeth in issues of

jurisprudences, explanation of the Qur'aan, seerah and others. Imaam
Abdullaah ibn Mubaarak said, "The authentic ahadeeth are sufficient and
the weak ahadeeth are not needed." (al-Jaam'e al-Akhlaaq al-Raawee
2/159)

6. I do not perform takfeer upon any Muslim due to any sin, except Shirk
with Allaah, or apostasy or believing something to be lawful which Allaah
declared unlawful. Imaam Abu Haneefah said: "We do not make takfeer of
the people of the Qiblah [i.e. Muslims] due to a sin, even if it is a major sin
up until he considers the sin to be lawful and permissible. (Fiqh-ul-Akbar
pg.88, al-Manaaqib 1/77 of Makkee, Sharh Tahreer 3/318)

7. I should co-operate with the group that traverses the methodology of the
Book and The Sunnah in terms calling to Allaah and warning from Shirk
and to advise all groups that oppose this.

8. I do not deem it correct to revolt against the Muslim rulers as long as they
are Muslims, nor do I feel revolutions bring about reconciliation, rather
they corrupt the community.
 9. I hold that the multiplicity of present day parties is a reason for the
division of the Muslim and their weakness. So therefore I set about freeing
the minds from the fetters of blind-following and the darkness and
sectarianism and party spirit.

10. I restrict my understanding of the Book of Allaah and of the Sunnah of the
Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Was-Sallam) and to the
understanding of the Salaf of the Ummah and from the scholars of
Hadeeth, not the blind-followers of the individuals; rather I take the truth
from wherever it comes. Imaam Ibn Qayyim said, "The pious predecessors
would have great difficulty in handling and were not able to take someone
contradicting the texts of the Book and Sunnah with someone’s' opinion."
(Mukhtasar as-Sawaa'iq al-Mursalah pg.139)

11. I believe in cultivating the young generation upon in Islam, purified from
all that I have mentioned, giving to them a correct Islamic education from
the start, without any influence from the disbelieving western education.

12. I believe that politics is a part of the Religion, and those who try to separate
the Religion from politics are only attempting to destroy the Religion and to
spread chaos.

13. I believe there will be no honour or victory for the Muslims until they
return to the Book of Allaah and to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah
(Sallalahu Alayhee Was-Sallam).

14. I love the present day Scholars of the Sunnah and hope to benefit from
them and regret the passing away of many of them. Imaam Maalik said,
"The knowledge of hadeeth is your blood and flesh and you will be asked
concerning it on the Day of Judgement, hence look who you are taking it
from." (al-Muhaddith al-Faasil pg.416, al-Kifaayah pg.21)

15. I do not accept a fatwa except from the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of
the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Was-Sallam) and Sahaba (Razi
allah Ajmaeen) or salaf saleheen (Rehmat ullah aleh) and if not found in all
of them than a Mujtahid.
