The Islaamic viewpoint regarding sects

11:25 AM Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Question:
There have to date appeared many sects, such as the differing Sooffiyyah sects: ash-Shaathiliyyah, al-Ibraaheemiyyah, and al-Qaadiyaaniyyah, etc. So what is the Islaamic viewpoint regarding these sects? And what is our position as Muslims towards them and towards that which their followers propogate of their evil and corrupted thoughts (in the name) of the religion of Islaam?

Response:
We acknowledge that which conforms to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), and reject that which opposes the Book and the Sunnah.

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
