Ahlus-Sunnah do not divide: that is the Methodolology of the Salaf
Shaikhul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728 AH) stated: “Allāh, the Most High, said: “And they shall not cease to differ except those on whom your Lord has bestowed His Mercy – and for that did He create them.” So He has stated that the people on whom mercy is bestowed do not differ. And the people on whom mercy is bestowed are the followers of the Prophets in both speech and action. They are the people of Qur’an and Hadeeth (Ahlul-Qur’ān wal-Hadeeth) from this Ummah – and whoever opposes them in anything then he is the one who leaves the mercy of Allāh to the extent he opposes them.” (Majmoo’ al-Fatāwā 4/25)
Allāh, the Most High, said: “And they shall not cease to differ except those on whom your Lord has bestowed His Mercy – and for that did He create them.” (Hood 118-119) ‘Umar Ibn ‘Abdil-‘Azeez (d. 102AH, rahimahullāh) said: “He (D) created the people of His Mercy in order that they do not differ.” (Ahkām al-Qur’ān 3/1072 of Abu Bakr Ibn al-‘Arabī)
Abu Ja’far at-Tahāwī (V) said: “We see that the Jamā’ah (the united body) is the truth and correct, and division/splitting is deviation and punishment.” (Creed of At-Tahāwiyyah 2/775 (the sharh))
Shaikhul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (V) said: “Indeed the united body (al-Jamā’ah) is a mercy and splitting is a punishment.” (Majmoo’ al-Fatāwā 3/421)
Allāh, the Most High, said: “Verily those who divide their Religion and break up into sects, you O Muhammad have concern in them in the least…” (Al-An’ām: 159) Al-Baghawī said: “They are Ahlul-Bid’a and Ahwā (people of innovations and desires).” (Sharhus-Sunnah 1/210) Ash-Shātibī said: “Sectarianism is from the specific characteristics of the innovators.” (Al-I’tisām 1/113)
Ibn Taymiyyah stated: “Innovation is coupled with splitting just as the Sunnah is coupled with the Jamā’ah (the united body). So it is said: Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamā’ah (the people of Sunnah and the united body) just as it is said Ahlul-Bid’ah wal-Furqah (the people of innovation and splitting).” (Al-Istiqāmah 1/42)
And by Allāh besides whom there is none worthy of worship! This is what we have learnt from the ‘ulamā of this age over the last 20 years and more; this is what we learnt from Al-Albānī, Ibn Bāz, Ibn Uthaimīn, Muqbil Ibn Hādī (rahimahumullāh), and Sālih al-Fawzān, Rabī’ Ibn Hādī, Ubaid al-Jābirī, Muhammad Ibn Hādī and other than them. It is true that those with a disease in their hearts have tried to infiltrate and sow discord between the Salafis but Ahlus-Sunnah, and specifically their scholars, have remained vigilant and repelled these incursions and continue to do so. Shaikh Rabī’ Ibn Hādī stated: “By Allāh there are people who wear the garbs of Salafiyyah, they do not enjoin the good, nor forbid the evil let alone against ahlul-bid’a. This is something present. By Allah! These people are more severe upon Salafiyyah than the apparent people of innovation and all the opposers. They wear the garbs of Salafiyyah, and they deceive the people, they rebut the truth, and they aid falsehood – and this is something present…” (Quratul-‘Aynain p. 100)
