In this powerful reminder, the noble shaykh clarifies the reality of the term “Salafi” and addresses the misconceptions surrounding this affiliation. He explains that Salafiyyah is not a newly invented sect or a modern political movement, but rather an honourable affiliation to the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ (the Pious Predecessors)—the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and those who followed them upon the truth. The shaykh highlights the statements of the scholars regarding the creed and methodology of the Salaf, and reminds us that the people of truth have always faced criticism and accusations, just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ faced accusations from his enemies. May Allah keep us firm upon the Qur’an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the righteous predecessors.
