What is Salafism & Wahhabism? | Dr. Shabir Ally & Dr. Safiyyah Ally 

I really want to thank you for your channel. I live in a very small remote part of California and there are no mosque in my area. During Covid I reverted to his Islam by myself in my house. Best thing I’ve done for myself since I quit drink 12 years ago. . Since then I’ve been watching your channel on the regular. You’re like my mosque it’s like my virtual mosque. My virtual Islamic center. Thank you so much for all you do.

I commend Dr Shabir Ally for his continuous service to Islam and pray to Allah for strength and blessings to Dr Ally and the sister in their untiring efforts in the service of Islam. May Allah reward us all with Jannatul Firdaus, Ameen.

It should be emphasised that despite the different schools of Islamic jurisprudence, we all have one Quran🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Avoid unnecessary division amongst the people who believe.

As with many of the movements what I understand is mostly about political groups, the main thing is follow the Qur'an and Hadiths. May Allah Guide us.

Assalamu alaikum Beautiful conclusion. We should not separate as Muslims and should respect and tolerate eachother for the sake of unity. And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided. Qur'an 3.103

Im not Muslim, but I have been watching your videos out of curiosity. It's very nice to see what your beliefs are outside of what people in america believe Islam is. I am not an athiest at all but I follow no particular religion. I am actually in the middle east now and I have met alot of muslim people who are very kind, so I thought I should do my due diligence and learn a little about their beliefs. I really do think Islam is great though. As you would say, Peace be upon you.

Salaf سلف means "predecessor". If we add صلح "righteous" to it then we are speaking about the pios predecessors that include the first 3 generations of this Ummah, the Sahaba, those who learn from them and followed them and those who learned from them and followed them. 3 generations in total. Basically these 3 generations made sure everything was gathered, documented and they are the best for a reason. To follow them is to follow the correct understanding of the Quran and Sunnah. Note: people might claim to follow the Salaf and yet they don't. Alhamdulillaah most of those who claim do so, but then we have exeptions and those who dislike the Salaf Al Salih in general will take this opportunity to generalize abd slander everyone. Then we have the "Wahabi". Not only is this a invented slander by some deviants that did not like لا إله إلا الله, they made up a non existing sect all based on the Name and Attribute of Allah, Al Wahhaab. If we break it down, Wahhab is Allah. So who are they referring to? They say: "Abd Al Wahhab" . Mkay..But that is still the wrong person. Then they will finally tell you: "We mean Muhammad". Okey, now it makes sense. So you had issues with Muhammad, why not then call this non existing sect "Muhammadis"? Its because that is too obvious. Every Muslim is a Muhammadi i.e a follow of Muhammad ﷺ. So even the way they formunalted the name is a deception. Anyways, they accuse Sheikh Ul Islam رحمه الله of fighting people who worshipped other than Allah and *that it is wrong* as if the Prophet ﷺ didn"/ fight shirk in the same land of Arabia. They claim he fought in a war that happened in a diffefent century than the century he lived in. They accuse him of rebelling against the Ottomans in his own home town that wasn't even occupued by the Ottomans. And when you ask the evidences then there is never any. Even worse, the Imam is known for his books in Aqeedah and his view on rebelling against the Muslim leader and yet they claim the opposite, clear evidence that these people slander. Best part, the non Muslims who wrote a Wikipedia article on "Wahhabism" state that *no one actually uses this name nor calls themselves by this name* . So clearly this is a slander and the worst kind since its Allah's name and attribute that is being used to spread lies.

I love the open-minded conclusion of the Sheikh Masha Allah 🥰

Your explanations on such topics are highly beneficial to both reverts and other Muslims. I urge you to continue on the excellent work of enlightenment and service to Islam, and for all of us Muslims to contribute what we can, in the work of da'wah.

A broad and non-sectarian approach in the discussion, which is what we muslims need, as Dr.Shabir wisely stated that "there's good and bad in all movements ."

Middle path is suratal mustaqeem as long basic tenets of Islam such as Tawheed and Hazarat Muhammad ❤️ ﷺ seal of all prophets ( No prophet will come after him) are not compromised we must consider them as part of islamic body and there should be no doubt on their sincerity. Following aqeeda of Salaf saleheen is right way definitely they followed Prophet Muhammad ❤️ ﷺ and were sincere . May ALLAH swt guide everyone towards it . Ameen

Al-Bukhari narrated from 'Ubadah ibn as-Samit [radhiyallahu 'anhu] that he said: "The Prophet (Peace be upon him) called us and we gave him the bay'ah that we would listen and obey whether we were active or tired, in difficulty or in ease, and even if others were preferred over us. And that we were not to rebel against those in command, unless you see open kufr [kufran bawahan] for which you have a clear proof from Allah." (Sahih Bukhari)

I'm not a Muslim but I've been interested in learning about different cultures and religions for decades. Recently, my curiosity began to turn sour due to a certain online community that cares more about hating on lgbt people, ex-Muslims, liberal Muslims, etc. rather than contributing something positive to the world. I've only seen a few of Dr. Shabir Ally's videos but he has gained my admiration.

Thats why they were made to believe, that Whatever you ruler do, donot rise against him. This is the worst attack on the spirit of Islam.

What is rational, what is logical, what is humane, what is spiritual and what is true faith in God.. Once i was in Madina visiting the beloved Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) grave.. i was passing by waiving my hand and scaff along the barricaded pathway.. just trying to express my love.. surprisingly i was shouted syirik! syirik! syirik sheikh! by one of the guard.. sadly as i recalled if someone accuse you of disassociation in Allah and if Allah judge otherwise the blame will be upon the accuser.. i'm surprise people could be so quick in judging others.. that may lead to disunity, quarrels, disputes and conflicts.. i remember a hadith the Sahabat Bilal(RA) would roll his bare body at the prophet grave in tears of his longing.. is it a bidaah not ride camels to work or use toothpaste instead of siwak.. some would be so dogmatic, narrow or shallow in their insistence.. that they forget to apply other tens or hundreds of hadiths to smile, to be peaceful, to be kind and loving to one another in the true faith of Allah.. just my humble opinion, may Allah forgive, guide and bless us all.. Ameen..

Some Muslims who claim them self as salafissm they are not pleasent to be around they are very pushy about religion and how to be in it especially for women if they are not covered like them I mean fully covered it seems never is good enough how much you do.

This interview is inconclusive. He mentions about bad and good in every group, but fails to mention them.That leaves so many unanswered questions. Did Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahaab introduced Salafism or did he revived the Aqida?As far as the hadeeth goes regarding the term Salafi. The prophet saws taught his daughter Fatima before his death, advising her,"Fear Allah, be patient, and I am the best Salaf for you ".This hadeeth is in Bukhari.Also what he fails to make mention off,is the fact that the Muslims at the time were known as,Ahlul Athaar, Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamaa'a, Ahlul Hadeeth, Asalaful Saaligh.The Great Hambali Scholar,Imam Aghmad Ibn Hambal had advised the people in his time, not to take from Shaafi'e, Abu Ghaneefa, or Maaliek, AL Awzaaie but take where they took from, which was where? The first generation which is the Salaf of this ummah.The muslim brotherhood is not upon the way of the Salaf, but rather they have Gawaariej mentality. To revolt where as the Salaf practice what the prophet saws had ordered with, and that is not to revolt against your leader.So in essence the Salafies are adhering to the best of their ability to obey the prophet saws had ordered with.So this interview is short of the actual truth of who the Salafi follow. Surah Waqi'a verse 13 Allah makes mention of a multitude of people who will follow in the beginning and a few in last days which we find ourselves in.In my opinion, each muslim is by nature a Salafi if he claims to follow the prophet saws and his companions.

Quran is the Guide , Only to Allah (God) we need to submit and believe in all his Scriptures, all Prophets and Angles.

Really enlightened by the discourse. A born muslim,but found none who could answer some of my queries. No biasness openness to truth keeping in line with the Quaran and hadith. Thank you and thank you Allhumdulillah.

Unfortunately, a lot of wrong information The Salafi movement follows the first generations, not Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab. The books of creed, most of the books that are taught are the books of Ibn Taymiyyah. In the doctrines, the books of Ahmad ibn Hanbal are studied, and these are older than Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab, who has only about three books. Hasan al-Banna is said to have been an Ash'ari Sufi in the Shadhili way The Brotherhood is not based on Salafism, but rather a political thought and a mixture of Ash’ari, Sufi and other sects and religions. It has nothing to do with Salafism and seeks to unite Muslims to their rule for a political, not religious, goal. She says monotheism is something that is common to Muslims, so you will see Sufis building shrines, And he pleads with the righteous saints at the shrines, and this contradicts Islamic monotheism, which is the message of all the prophets. He lied assuming that the Salafis say that God has a hand like a human being And he lied when he said that the Salafis say that God has a king like man Nobody says that. He lied that 9/11 was linked to the Salafists, because 9/11 was orchestrated by the leaders of Al-Qaeda and everyone knows that Osama bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri were from the Muslim Brotherhood and had nothing to do with the Salafists, rather they were insulting the Salafi scholars in Saudi Arabia. Rather, they are fighting the rulers of Saudi Arabia who adopt the Salafi ideology, and their outbursts in Saudi Arabia are many. Unfortunately, Shabeer made a mistake and lied in this meeting. We are waiting for a response from the Salafi Muslim sheikhs He admitted with shame that he read the chains of hadith from the predecessors because they are the people of hadith and they are the ones who know this science without the other Islamic schools of thought that strayed from the approach of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh

I have the impression that Shabir and Safiyyah conflated the topic on schools of thought (madhahib) and aqeeda. Those who adhere to the aqeeda salafiya do follow madhahib. In Saudi Arabia, many people follow the Maliki madhab and Hanbali madhab as well, and others follow Shafi'ee and Hanafi madhabs. Hence, following a salafi aqeeda does not mean against any school of thought. The conflict is between those who are fanatics of a certain school of thought and those who are salafis because salafis, even though they follow a school of thought, they reject the ruling of their madhab if it is repugnant/contradictory to an established Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w because the Prophet is infallible on all matters of the religion while the Imams of the madhahib were not. As a matter of fact, all those famous Imams of the madhahib made a disclaimer that people should reject their (Imam's) opinion or rulings if it is against a sahih hadith. As for me, to be a salafi, it means that you strive to follow the Sunnah according to the understanding of the salafus-saleh (first 3 generations), follow any of the madhab because the madhab provides the details on how to perform all acts of worship but you should not be a fanatic to any madhab because the Imams of the madhahib were not infallible people.

Alhamdulillah . What is called in our time “Salafiyyah” are the Sunnis, or Ahl al-Hadith wa al-Athar, in short, who follow Islam as stated if they want to define the interpretation of Surat Nadhrun in what the Companions, the Successors, and their followers said, and our scholars and sheikhs have a Mutawatir chain of transmission in this regard. We are not like Al-Ash'ari, Al-Maturidi, Ibadi, and Rafidah. If they want to interpret a verse, they turn to philosophy. If they see a hadith that contradicts their opinions, they say it is weak, or they change its meaning and philosophize based on it. As for whoever denies the attributes of God Almighty, such as His being leveled above the heavens, or His face, or His hand, or His leg, or who says that the Qur’an is created and that God does not speak, then they are Al-Jahm bin Safwan, the Mu’tazilites, Abdullah Al-Ibadi, the Rafidite Shiites, the Zaidis, the Kalabiyya, the Ash’aris, the Maturidis, and all of these people do not have a prophetic hadith or a saying of a companion. To prove the validity of their religion. The Muslim Brotherhood are not Salafis, but rather they are Ash'ari Sufis. Your conclusion reminds me of the Indian Emperor Akbar, who invented a new religion

In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the merciful. Is Calling Oneself As AHLUL HADEES or a SALAFI Justified when Allah Named us as Muslims: And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims." (Quran 41:33) The verses in which Allah the Lord almighty called us as Muslims were revealed at the time where there were no sects in Islam, The Whole Muslim Ummah was One body, By the Passing of time unfortunately the Muslim Ummah was divided into several sects, Khawarij , Shia, Qadiyani, Baha'i, Parvezi, Barelvi (Grave worshippers), Deobandi and many more sects, Every sect call themselves to be Muslims. All these Sects seperated from the main body (Rasoolallah ﷺ and his Sahaba) follow their dignitaries blindly even if they contradict in the vital issues of Aqeedah (Belief) hence they are deviated. The way of Understanding Quran and Sunnah (Hadees) according to the understanding of Rasoolallah ﷺ and his Sahaba is Called MANHAJ E SALAF, people those who follow this understanding are the part of that Main body, called as Salafi's or AHLUL HADEES. This is the only Rightly guided Sect. Sunan Ibn Majah 3992 It was narrated from 'Awf bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The Jews split into seventy-one sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy in Hell. The Christians split into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of which will be in Hell and one in Paradise. I swear by the One Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, my nation will split into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two in Hell.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, who are they?” He said: "The main body." ("What I am upon and my Companions." Jami` at- Tirmidhi 2641). 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 JAZAKALLAH KHAIR 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

first. You will not find anyone identifying themselves as a Wahhabi, this is the fallacy of the straw man. secondly. Salafism or Ahl al-Athar is a matter related to the doctrine, meaning that you are a Muslim who understands your religion in the same way that the first three generations understood it, especially the understanding of the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions. He mixes between fiqh and belief. The four schools are schools of fiqh, but when the question is about Salafism, the comparison is, for example, about Ash’ari or Maturidi (like the Taliban, many think that they are Salafis and this is not true), the Mu’tazilites (like Shabir Ally himself, but with a liberal touch), Kulabi, Jahmi and even Shias or Ibadites ... (doctrinal schools, the difference between them is doctrinal not just a difference in fiqh) I think he does it on purpose or he is speaking out of ignorance.

17:13 I got my answer Thank you!

Sincerely explained everything, mashallah, glad to discover ur channel Sheikh.❤️ Mashallah

Subḥana’llāh How is an average person supposed to decide between what is good and bad without having broad knowledge of Islam, since one have to follow the explanation of Quran and Sunna from someone, isn’t it better to follow a school of thought another word view of group of scholars of early generations. Despite of so many different opinions in gray space between the school of thought, there is no hatred or arrogance between the followers. Sadly the Wahabi and the Salafi brothers are far away from this quality. It is absolutely wrong statement to say that all schools have good and bad, because opinion of all schools of thought are base in authentic sources which one might disagree with, actually it’s the individual followers of schools of thought have good and bad in them which is understandable. Finally I like to advise the interviewer to have some manners not to call someone (ie dr Shibbir) by name who’s way older then her in age and much knowledge then her in Islamic knowledge. May Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala grant me and you all beneficial knowledge and understanding of Islam.

Sincerely, You either read and learn a lot to know or you don't read and you don't know. Dr. Shabir Ally is mistaken in his definitions of salafi and "wahhabi". Salafism is Aqeedah not a school of jurisprudence (madhab). All 4 major schools of jurisprudence are salafi. Sheikh AbdulWahhab is of the Hanbali school of jurispudence. As for the phrase "Wahhabi",,,, accusing a man with that phrase ( one of the 99 names of Allah) is linguistically the equivalent of calling him godly. As for its use as an insult or term of derision, well,,,,, after you meet God, tell us how it went. Would love to learn what you know about God's names and their use(s) that the rest of the Ummah does not know. As an interesting observation,,, in general I have noticed that those who comment on the opposing side of the salafi/"wahhabi" videos online are on the whole the rudest and most insulting. If you have no manners, you have no Deen. Regardless of which side you are on.

Most salafis are innocent or victims of blissful ignorance. However, can we say the same of the Saudi-Wahhabi establishments and the scholars and daees (missionaries) who support them? Let the Quran speak about the Wahhabi-Salafi movement. i) (We said): 'David, We have made you a caliph in the earth. Judge with justice among people and do not yield to your own preference in case it should lead you from the Path of Allah. Surely, a terrible punishment awaits those who stray from the Path of Allah, because they forget the Day of Reckoning. (Quran 38:26) ii) O you who have believed, obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allāh and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result. (Quran 4:59) iii) Say, "O Allāh, Owner of Sovereignty (Malik al-Mulk), You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand1 is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent. (Quran 3:26) iv) O you who have attained faith, be mindful of Allah and leave aside what has remained of usury, if you are believers. But if youpl do not, then be informed of a war from Allah and His Messenger. Yet if you repent, then your capitals belong to you-(thus) you do no injustice, and you are not done injustice. (Quran 2:278-279) v) O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians for intimate friends. They are friends to each other. Whoever takes them as intimate friends is one of them. Surely, Allah does not take the unjust people to the right path. (Quran 5:51) I am disappointed in you, Dr Shabir Ally, for omiting out how the Saudi Wahhabi scholars took 5,000 pounds per month from the British and rebelled against the Ottoman Khilafah (rulers). The Khilafah was established by the Prophet (pbuh) himself and the Salaf given by Allah. The Wahhabi-Salafi movement do not condemn this act of treachery betrayal to the Ummah. The Saudi-Wahhabi alliance did not re-establish the Khilafah! Rather the Wahhabi scholars approved the Saudi rulers to be kings (Malik). Only Allah is al-Malik (Quran 3:26) Do you know any Wahhabi-Salafi scholar who condemned Saudi government allowing banks and ARAMCO to do usurious transactions such as lending and borrowing money on interest? Have Allah not declared war on them including the scholars who support them? And what about those who do not point out the errors (nahiya anil munkar) vi) [Such believers are] the repentant, the worshippers, the praisers [of Allāh], the travelers [for His cause], those who bow and prostrate [in prayer], those who enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and those who observe the limits [set by] Allāh. And give good tidings to the believers. (Quran 9:112) Are they truly salafi? Dr Shabir, why did you not forbid the evil they are doing and allowing the rulers to do? Please don't embarass yourself, Dr Shabir Ally.

Alhamdulillah I got Tohid from Salafi! The Abdul Wahab was the one who focus the follow only authentic source only. Now Saudi Arabia is the only one nation who holding Tohid without mixing it.

I don't believe someone who cruel and harsh is the true muslim

Just a food of thought for my Sunni brothers and sisters: This Hadith is from Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and I'm sure everybody is familiar with but nobody take it seriously. My ummah will be divided into 73 sects. All of them will be in the Hell Fire except one. (Sahih Moslem) The DAY when We shall call together all human beings with their (respective) Imam. Quran 17:71 Personally I TAKE my religion from the one who was appointed by Allah, the one who was the first accepted Islam. The one who was raised by Prophet himself and the one who was married the daughter of the Prophet. Off course there are so many other proofs to support my believes but that I just leave it to this for now.

Shabir sahab should go through more books to Learn about imam e Azam imam Abu Hanifa r a ......Imam was a tabie no doubt......wahabis are against the ahlul sunnah aqeedah......

Even mere seeing him trimming his beard tells me he could not be upright in creed... Good and bad in what..?! No Salafiyyah no pristine Islam!

I am a proud catholic who studies theology of different religions, this is a good discourse, I have some knowledge of Islam as well.

If you learn Salafy methods. You'll found that all imam ahlu hadits is following salaf in understanding Quran and Hadits. بارك الله فيك ....

We proud to be folowing salafisom as much we can . We try to folow the sunna of Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him . We refuse to folow the innovation in islam .... The people who are innovating new to islam the get ready to reserve seat to hellfire ..

Dr Shabir is wrong about the Salafee thinks the hand of Allah is like a man's hand. Please have a Salafee talk about what Salafee is instead of someone who is not Salafee. One who is one of the leaders of the Salafee movement, because you have people claiming Salafee and are far from Salafee. Get Abu Khadijah, or Hasan As Samoli, or others. Let them be on your show and talk about the Salafee or Wahabism madhhab. Because Dr Shabir is saying things that are not correct. May Allah guide all of us. Ameen

Salafism is true Islam the way of the prophet ﷺ

“As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects you have no part in the least, their affair is with Allah. He will in the end tell them what they used to do.”(Quran 6:159) So we should not call ourselves as of any Mazhab, instead we should call ourselves as Muslims.

Without doubt the clear, manifest, distinguished, evident proof of this title and ascription, which is to say: I am a Muslim upon the Book and the Sunnah and upon the methodology of our Salaf as-Salih, and that is to summarise it by saying: ‘I am a Salafi’.

Assalamualaikum! Jazak Allahu Khayran. Excellent massages. From Malaysia.

The Wahhabism is a movement founded by Abd al-Wahhab ibn Rustam al-Ibadi in 171 AH, and it is a group of Kharijites that originated in Morocco, where its founder declared all Muslims to be infidels and disrupted the Hajj. When the call for monotheism was established in the Arabian Peninsula at the hands of Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, may God have mercy on him, at the beginning of the twelfth century of migration, and Imam Muhammad ibn Saud supported him, the Ottoman Empire at that time called their call Wahhabism to alienate Muslims from them. They overwhelmed the ignorant people because the names are similar, but history has revealed them. The Arabized Standard in the Fatwas of the People of Morocco (1/168) quotation: Noor Muhammad bin Fayd Ahmad Al-Arkani

We don’t describe the Hands of Allah as hands of His creation. The speaker hasn’t explained it correctly. We do take these things literally as Prophet Muhammad and his companions took them literally. We never call ourselves wahabis. We are proud to be called Ahlul Hadith / Salafi / Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jammah / Sunni. All these names are synonyms of each other.

Shabir Ally's face is seperate from his beard it's mind boggling...it's like two different things in one. I wonder what led him to do that the need behind it and why he did not do it in his past years. I feel as if it's showing his facial features just like a modern day hijabis who wear hijab while showing everything.

I was watching your channel for sometime now, and I hope you will pose my question to Mr shabir ally because I watched a lot of his debates and very much enjoyed it. And I would really happy if you will notice and answer my question which I was wondering for quite sometime. So my question is a little bit related to your today's topic. I would like to know about other great yearly scholars of islam who were very reputable and respected also in the first three generation but who's were not lucky to be survived or later embraced or joint with classical four schools. I would like to Mr shabir ally will elaborate who were they at least just names and I could read their biography because it's so interesting for a lot of ordinary people. I'm not sure I guess Sufian as Sauri was one of them. I hope you won't ignore my message. Thank you very much and good luck in your job. Truly yours Akimkhan from Kazakhstan.

🩸🩸🩸If you go around the world many incorrect teachings have crept into Islamic practice ( especially in South Asian part of the world). I believe Islamic teachings have to be understood the way earlier generations of Muslim understood from prophet and for that you need proper extensive education from Islamic universities. Imagine every Tom, Dick and Harry read Islamic scriptures and give their own interpretation then even none Muslims can read Islamic scriptures and give their own understanding. I think that would be disastrous. We should always strive to understand Islamic teachings the way prophet taught and I think that earlier generations of Muslims were the best at this. FYI, Salaf is not a sect. Peace ✌️

Dr. Shabir Ally: I listen lot of your debates with none muslims but today answer is totally confused. You must dare enough to reject or accept the truth but don't give diplomatic answer (All are good and All are bad). Tolerance is part of Islam you no need to divert the toping. Lady asked you very clear Question Salafi is good or Bad? you must gave clear answer (You accept them or Reject them) don't tell every religion have good thing and bad thing so just take good thing from every religion and make a new good religion. Dr. Shabir Ally... Your explanation is not acceptable

So to summarize if I understood correctly. The four schools of thought put the Quran first then Sunnah then other things like tradition. But the Salafis put most emphasis on the Sunnah so that is first. And the Wahabis put most emphasis on the tradition so that comes first. But overall they share a lot of overlap, just shifts in priorities.

I'm a muslim. as far as i seen, many people tend to think that this kinda movement as a sect. It isn't. I think it's a compulsory for muslims to follow the early generations/Shahabah (salaaf), especially on aqidah subject and their way of thinking. Because they learned the quran and hadith and its tafseer directly from Rasulullah peace be upon him. As explained in the video, people often try to interpret (takweel) the attributes of Allah, that Allah himself mentions in the Quran. But as far as the Shahaabah do, this clearly PROHIBITED. You CAN'T intrepret (for example) Allah's hand as a kind of "power". But just explain it literally as Allah intrepret himself in the quran. BUT we DON'T think how and what his 'hand' is look like, especially compared to human hands or his creation type of hand. This is how the salaaf tafseer, and the aqidah of the salaaf. And as muslim who follow their teaching, we are automatically a salafy by definition. I see nothing wrong with that. And the way they learn today is also the most scientific afaik. This makes the new generation more interested in studying Islam at its purest.

Islam has so many divisions. I like how this man acknowledges that it is no different than the various schools of thought in Christianity.

They can dress it up all they want but schools, wahabis, salafis etc are all sects forbidden within Quran. There is only submission to one God. The Quran warms against sects but man can't help following other men.

I asked one Rabbi did he read the Surah Al Qahf do they study the Quran to have knowledge what the Quran says ? He said yes I did. So I asked do you have the same story in the Torah about Moses traveling with Khidr Aleyhisalaam? He said there is not such an event in the live of Prophet Moses . If there was such an event we Jews must have it recorded in our records. And I said then why it is in the Quran ? He said I have no idea .

He always misleads the ummah

Assalamu AAalaykum: I am keenly following you a lots and endlessly loves for both of you. Can you kindly sends me 30 different recitations of Glorious Qur' an...

"O People! No Prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore O People! and understand words that I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and the Sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray." Last sermon of prophet Muhammad salallahu alayhi Wasalam

These 4 schools of thought were within the first 300 years. So Salafism is among them. But not Wahabism.

You don't even know the difference between Salaf, Salafi and Salafiyah...

Alhamdu lillah I didn't understand Islamic creed until I left Brotherhood nonsense and went to a salafi masjid

The tv program should invite the right alim ulama who really understands what is salafy, so the world not miss took about salafy, in our country Indonesia Masya Allah and Alhamdulillah spread really fast.. Salafy teachs us back to the right path to the way Rosulullah alaihi sholatu wassalam and the sahabat from the wrong traditions that we follows over years and years..

I also know 2 or 3 hadtih ,, Muhammad (pbuh) said I fear most of one thing in our islamic age that at end time , a group of follower will come to existence and they will claim they are true Muslim (extremist) ,but they were far from Islam is like an arrow will separate from his bow,,whenever you see them killed them and that reward will grant you on day of judgment.. 2. A man will come from najd who cause greatest fitna amongst the whole Muslim world ,they will call themselves true follower but there back is always in front of true teaching. .. So nice try to defend deviants,,, 3. Whenever u find difficult to follow the true teaching of Islam in end time,,,,follow largest group of Islam,,, Now which group have largest group of Islam in current time it's Sunni sect( hanfi,shafi,hanbali,Maliki).. And a nice try to defend Medina university who is established in 1900 century,,,,

Avoid every group who spread anger and divide Muslim more than before

He Portray Completely WRONG Explanation Of Salafism. Dr Shabbir You Have Zero Knowledge Of Salafism, you are misleading Muslims, May ALLĀH guide you to the truth, Aameenn

so you agree there are 4 more types of Islamic teachings after Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) I don't agree with the concept of shia sunni hanafi etc. etc. I believe they are spreading falsifications confusions & making Islam difficult to follow.

10:23 bruh Salaf never ever interpreted those verses by saying that they r metaphorical they never distorted the meaning of the Qur'an they used to believe in the understanding of the companions of the Prophet peace be upon him and the companions used to believe in those verses literally without using the word "how" because they r the part of unseen and the knower of unseen is ALLAH SWT

This was really interesting to listen to. Thank you!

Rasullallah Said " I am leaving among you two successors: * The Book of Allah, is a rope stretched between the heavens and the earth, and عترتي اهل بيتي Ahllulbeity, and they will not be separated until they come back to me at alhawd.* Al-Suyuti's graduation (Hamm Tabb) on the authority of Zaid bin Thabit. Al-Albani's investigation (Sahih) See Hadith No.: 2457 in Sahih Al-Jami’. According to this hadith, unless you follow Ahlullbeit, you will lead yourself astray.

Brother.. you never answered correctly. Are they good or bad.. THE TRUE AND BEST ARE THE 4 IMAMS . AND WHO'S EVER FOLLOW THEM.. IMAM SHAFI RA SAY كل ما خطر في باليك فالله خلاف ذلك... This is the ultimate proof and truth.. you can not take the Quran letraly

As a Muslim from the Shia school of thought this man speaks truth unlike a lot of others like him who spread false lies and who destroyed the shrine of imam Hussein.

Understanding Quran and Sunnah are important, read and lean on your own that’s very important, my Allah forgive all our sins

This is not time to bring dispute speech of Islam rather talk to unity. Allah show us true path. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤💕

Why didn't dr. Shabeer mention the reson as to why Mohammed bin abdullwahab start the movement? The biddah in the Arabian peninsula and the Islamic world was spreading very much and people started to do shirk as to worship trees or rocks or Graves. It was a dark time . Thank Allah that people like Mohammed bin Abdul wahab were there to teach people the right way .

If there is no public criticism of the govt .....simply put its not islam The whole thing exist to basically make sure the said monarchs(rulers) stay in power for ever What a shame Hence the mess we r in as a ummah

Quran has to be explained with the help of Hadith, when people start explaining it in their own logic it often leads to misinterpretation of core values, often all these sects end up with extremism or terrorism, the four imams give us the best explanations, remember many Hadith were lost afterwards, imam Sha'afi knew almost 1 Million Hadiths, but now we have like 10k valid Hadiths, do Four imams are our best chance to follow true Islam, don't fall into these new age traps.

Thank you my scholar, you explain very well

I am a irreligious person and even I can say, this man is very good. He makes a very informative and clean explanations. He never do any propaganda. A value resource for Muslims and an irreligious person myself. Regardless of your beliefs and ideologies, it is very important for self to gain information, make and understanding of things, and keep your self objective. As long as you keep your objectivity and senses, ideologies, beliefs keep you from extremist and very subjective thinking. This will result with non-hate and harmony between different groups of people. I personally find it stupid to see any Muslim or Cristian, etc. person to be bad just because I am irreligious, I believe religious people should do the same against people like me. It is of course applicable as long as red lines are not crossed, in which it is very important where those red lines are drawn. It is very important to judge a person by his/her character and not by only by his/her beliefs and ideologies.

At least he admits that he has to lean on the salafis as they rely strictly on Qur'an and sunnah

Actually ibnu Abdul Wahab misinterpreted the ideology of salafusswaliheen and make fake claim that he follows them. Actually that man represented some of deviant ideology of ibn taymiyyah who is controversial figure Muslim Scholars.

Hasan al-Basri on Khawarij: Rebels fight for sake of the world, not Islam Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi reported: A man from the Khawarij came to Hasan al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, and he said, “What do you say about the rebels?” Hasan said, “They are seekers of the world.” The man said, “Why do you say that when one of them goes out with his spear until it breaks and he leaves his family and children?” Hasan said, “Tell me about the ruler. Does he prevent you from establishing prayer, giving charity, and performing the pilgrimage?” The man said no. Hasan said, “As I see it, he has only prevented you from seeking the world and you have fought him for it.” Source: al-Baṣā’ir wal-Dhakhā’ir 1/34

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless you guys for your good work

To quote just one Hadith : 'Stay with the Majority of my Ummah for the Majority of you will never go astray " The Salafi movement is a very small minority. Just think about that for a moment. Thank you

Need to emphasize here that despite of factions among Muslims worldwide, we are being confronted with some ideologies that have brought down Islam as a way of life. To some extent that LGBT and One World Religion are on the rise while ulama' are stunned with worldly matters and wealth. Don't get involved with mazhabs and perceptive thinking as means and ways to conclude which one is right because we still have alQur'an and Hadiths for reference.

omg I don't know a single Salafi who thinks Allah has a hand like one from the creation. Allah is not likened to his creation. This is a basic belief.

He pretends to know but he answers no questions and gives no details

SubhanAllah excellent!

Such an accessible discussion. Great to learn as a Catholic.

Despite the fact that I do not follow the same school of thought with the sheikh, I believe he is amazing. He deserves the title "Allamah" which is a status above "Aalim"; both derived from "ilm" meaning knowledge. On top of that he is "Mujtahid". He reads, evaluates then draws his own conclusion "qawl". Most Indian scholars are distinctive and exemplary.

Please study the Noble Quran and learn the Sunnah, "...In the house of commons, parliament,,in it's library there is a speach of William Gladstone, who was the prime minister, 1878,..He made a speach, in it he says, British secret service, is going to make Quran, translations which will not have jihad, or Tawheed, so there we're, 3,.infamous persons in whose name they got these, translations made, mirza ghulam Ahmed Qadiani, reza Ahmed Berailwi, and Ghulam Ahmed parvaiz,,..all 3 Quran translations are banned in, makkha and Medina,,,.plus 21 Arab countries have banned these translations,

Wahabi ??? No such thing. There was a imam wahab. Salafeh is one who follows Quran and sunnah and the practice of the sahabah and the consensus of the scholars. Did the prophet Muhammad saalahualayhewasalaam not teach the companions ??? Did the sahabah not preserve the Quran and the sunnah ??? Did the prophet Muhammad saalahualayhewasalaam say that the scholars inherit the knowledge that the prophets leave behind ??? This guy is off base. Allah says he has a hand. We have a hand. But our hand is not like the hand of Allah. We have eyes. Allah sight is not like our sight. Allah sees everything. We can't see around the corner or see thru a wall. We say as Allah has said. Allah is above his throne ..in a manner that suits his majesty. This guy is way off base. All sunni Muslims should follow Quran and sunnah and the practice of the sahabah and the consensus of the scholars. This is the correct way to follow Islam. The proof is in quran and the sunnah the authentic hadith.

Muslim narrated from Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman [radhiyallahu 'anhu] that he said: "I said: "O Messenger of Allah, we were in a state of evil, then Allah brought us this good that we are in now. Will there be evil after this good?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Will there be good after this evil?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Will there be evil after this good?" He said: "Yes." I said: "How?" He said: "There will be after me leaders who do not adhere to my guidance, and who do not follow my Sunnah. " (Sahih Muslim) Note: The best examples of the consequence after the Caliphs are overthrown : Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan.

Alhamdulillah, May Allah always guide Dr Shabir & his daughter Dr. Safiyyah.

Salafi are those adhere to the creed and methodology to the best generation of the salaf and sunnah, they follow the teachings firmly and practices according to the pious predecessors(salaf) and sunnah who were granted paradise that’s the main goal. They’re salafis that are too harsh and water down the aqeedah nowadays. Stay with the jamaah who are upon the truth ie Abu khadeejah, Abu hakeem, Abu idris etc

Imam Abu Hanifa Noman bin Sabit RA was born in 80 Hijry. Real salafi are Hanfi

Saud and Wahab: you scratch my back and I scratch your back! Both miguided!

Great explainations. Thanks Dr Shabir. Assalamualaikum

Subhaanallah, the status of our ummah. "And glad tidings to the strangers". When i saw the scarf and the line of questioning i know some ignorance is about to go down.

The mind boggling thing is Quran and bukhari-Hadith both say “DONT BE DIVIDED INTO SECTS” Yet we have plenty And yet we like to identify with one or the other So confusing

Wahabism or Salafism is the worst form of Taqleed or blind following that has devastated Islam and the Muslim Ummah since the death of Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Whereas the glorious Koran refutes blind following calling such followers the worst creation of Allah.

A project of the brittish empire to devide the Ottoman Empire. Thats all you need to know about it.
