Are Innovators part of al-Firqah an-Nājiyah (the Saved Group)? - Sheikh Ibn Baz السؤال: هل المبتدع خارج عن الفرقة الناجية، و الطائفة المنصورة؟ Question: Is the innovator excluded from al-Firqah an-Nājiyah (The Saved Group), and at-Ṭāifah al-Manṣūrah (The Victorious Group)? الجواب: المبتدعون ليسوا من الطائفة المنصورة، Answer: The innovators are not from The Victorious Group, كـالرافضة، والجهمية، والمعتزلة، والكرامية، وأشباههم، (Innovators) Such as the Rāfiḍah, Jahmiyyah, Muʿtazilah, Karrāmiyyah, and those like them. الطائفة المنصورة هم أهل السنة والجماعة، هم أتباع الكتاب والسنة The Victorious Group are Ahl as-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah: They are the followers of the Kitāb (Qurʾān) and Sunnah, الذين لم يبتدعوا في دين الله ما لم يأذن به الله، those who do not innovate in the dīn (religion) of Allāh that which Allāh did not legislate. لما سئل الرسول ﷺ عنهم قال: هم من كان على ما أنا عليه وأصحابي قال: هم الجماعة. When the Prophet ﷺ was asked about them, he said : “They are those who are upon what I and my Saḥābah (Companions) are upon,” he (also) said: “They are the Jamāʿah (group unified upon the truth).” فـالطائفة المنصورة، والفرقة الناجية هم أتباع النبي ﷺ So, The Victorious Group, and The Saved Group (both these terms refer to the same group) – they are the followers of the Prophet ﷺ. الذين لم يحرفوا، ولم يغيروا، ولم يبتدعوا، بل تمسكوا بالكتاب والسنة، Those who do not distort, change, or innovate. Rather, they hold on to the Kitāb and Sunnah. وساروا على منهج سلف الأمة من الصحابة، ومن تبعهم بإحسان في القول، والعمل، والعقيدة، And they tread upon the methodology of the Salaf of this Ummah (pious predecessors), which consists of the Companions and those who followed them with righteousness in statements, actions, and beliefs. هؤلاء هم أهل السنة والجماعة These are the people of Sunnah and Jamāʿah. الذين وحدوا الله، عبدوه وحده واستقاموا على شريعته، Those who make Tawḥīd of Allāh (single Him out) by worshipping Him Alone and are steadfast upon His Sharīʿah (Islamic legislation), وآمنوا بأسمائه، وصفاته، وأمروها كما جاءت على الوجه اللائق بالله and they believe in His Names and Attributes, and accept them exactly (as they were revealed) in a manner befitting to Allāh, من غير تحريف، ولا تعطيل، ولا تكييف، ولا تمثيل، without Taḥrīf (distortion), Taʿṭīl (negation), Takyīf (asking how) and Tamthīl (likening Allāh to His creation). واعتمدوا في أعمالهم ما جاء في الكتاب والسنة في الأقوال، والأعمال. نعم. And they base their actions and sayings on what has come in the Kitāb and Sunnah. Yes.
