INTRODUCTION

The author [Shaykhul (ola Ibn Taymiyyah]— may Allah
have nurey upon hit —said

All praises belong to Allah, the One who st Tis raessen-
gees with the guidance aad the trae religion, that it may
Prevail over every otlier religion, And Allah is sufficient
asaswitness, And £ bear witness (hal nothing, has the right,
tu be worshipped except for allah. alone without partners,
affirming this and believing in Ilis Oneness, And 1 bear
‘witness that Murhaurunad is His slave and Hin messenger,
may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him and,
upon his Companions. As to what fallews

Uh is the belief of the saved vietorions vect, Altus Sunnah,
wal Jama’ah, up until the establishment of the Hour: belie!
in Allah, His angels, Llis hooks, His messengers, the restr
revtinn after death, and the divine deae, the good af il
and the bad of it. Ax ta what follows:

FAT ANATION,

Uheauthor said “AM praises hlouy te All, the One isha sent
iis messengers with the yuu and the tre religion, that it
sna prevail acer every fer religion. Ava Alli is suit ae
auf.” He sent Muhammad 38 with the guidance and
the hue religion ae Allat the Exalted said:
Iona)

ft is He who has vent Tis Mesunger with
guidance and the refigion of truth

Jia se Poot 9:33)

Guidance: i% beneficial knowledge ond wuthful. infor
mation: this is what is referred teas guidance. And the
true sligion is Une upright just legislation containing
commands and prohibitions. And Allah sent [the Prophet
223] with humcficial knowledge, righteous actions, and an
“upstanding principled legislation fo prevail overall othor
religions with the guidance [le vent him with. And Allah
is sulficient as a wilness over this great affai.

Then [the author] said, “And I bear wwilness Uat nothing
has the right to bw worshigned except fre AR, alte without
partners, affirming Shis and telieving in Tis Oneness.”
Meaning, confirming that He is the only One deserving
of worship. Ie is One in 1is essence and His names and
athibutes. He has no resemblance, He has no likeness, anu
He is One in His lordship. He is One in His creation of His
slaves. Ther is no Creator other than Flim, the Creator and
Provider. le is One in | lis divinity; no one ts deserving of
sworship except lim, “Aiming this” means, “Taftier this
great faba.” Tard means singling out Allah the Exalted,
for worship.

‘Then |the author| vent salutations upon the: Prophet $5,
a8 iL appears in the jadify that he 2 directed those who
supplicute to praise Allah and then send salutations upon,
the Prophet 4, Thay it is reconnnenved to precede: suppl
cations and wrilings with praise of Allah and glorification
se Lelonseon fae! al Psireat

of Him, testifving to I Tig Oneness and to the message of
the Prophet 32 this is one of the reasons for the supplica-
lion being aceepied, and nne.of the reasons for receiving
suicoess. For this reason, he said in the feulith of Fadalab
ibn “Lite

deh be

When one uf you supplicates, let him begin with praise of
Allah and glorification af Him, shen send salutations upea the
Prophet 2, and then let him supplicate as he wills.”

Then [the author] said, “As fo echat fallowss,” and this is a
slatemen! thal separates the apoech (afore and after it, The
intent i to transition into the topic, memning “as to what

follows the previous speech.”

“This isthe Belief” moans that vehat L ave mentioned is
the bell of the vietorions Saved Sect (Alay Surah
wl foratah) until the Day of Judgment. This is because
the Messenger of Allah 48 informed us that this mat
would divide into seventy thece sects, and all of thera wil
Be in the lire exept one. 1 yas sad, “Who ate they, ©
Messenger of ALIMK?" Le replied, “The Jama’ah.” And in
another wording, he sald, “Those sho att upon what |
and any Camnpuntone one upon”

These people are: Ahlus Sunnah wal Iama’ah, They are
called the Saved Sect and they are called the Victorious
Group up until the Day of Judgment, and they are called
the Aided Group up unti the Day of juuginent, All ot
those desoriptions are for one group, They are called viclo-

rious, they ate called saved, they are called Abs Sunnah
wal jomna‘ah, They are the Companions 8 and those whe
are upon their methodology; hey are Ahlus Sunnah sal
Jama’ah, And they are the Saved Sc, the Compantems
of the Prophet 3 and thew who are upon theiz path and
follow their exaanple; they are Ahkus Sunnah wal ound’ ah

Exchsled from them are the Jahmiyysh, the Ma’tazilah,
the Murjfah, and the Qadariyyah, And all. those who
joppone the Companions 4 will be from the seventy-two
sects The only ones who are fro the Saved Sect are thove
upon the methodology of the Companions concerning the
fawhtd of Allah, sincerity to Hinn, following His legislation,
and exalting Lis commands and prohibitions ae they come
in His Book and the Sunnah of His Prophel $3. These axe
the poople fraen the Saved Sect.
"THE SIX PILLARS OF KAI

And [the Saved Secl’s]belict is: belie in Altah, Llis angels,
Uis books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and
belief in divine decree, the good of it and the bad of il. The
‘agidat of Ablus Sunnah weal fams’ah stems from these six
principles
