Know that we live in times where truth is overshadowed, clarity is clouded, and falsehood is given prominence under deceptive labels. The darkness of innovation and fabrication has spread, and the foolish ruwaybidah—those unworthy of speech—have taken to platforms, poisoning the minds of the people. They adorn their misguidance with the garments of Sunnah while carrying the corruption of the Khawarij, disguising their Surooriyyah under the noble banner of Salafiyyah. Yet Allah has promised victory to His religion, the methodology of prophethood, and His righteous allies. The promise is certain, but it is upon the people to take the means.
So hold tightly to the scholars of Sunnah, those who are known for their steadfastness upon the Salafi methodology, whose banner is raised high in defending the Sunnah of Al-Mustafa ﷺ. Be with them, cling to their guidance, and do not precede them with opinions, for true safety lies in adhering to their understanding. The major scholars of Sunnah are the beacons of clarity in these turbulent times, so do not be deceived by those whose reality has become exposed to every sane person—those who praise the Khawarij, associate with them, and link their students to them.
Cling to the principles of Sunnah, for they are a shield against misguidance. Beware of falling into hypocrisy, deceit, and falsehood, for these are the paths of destruction and deviation. Be sincere, be firm, and seek the truth with humility. Beg Allah for guidance, for He is the One who turns the hearts.
And know that when the dust settles, clarity will emerge. Many are deceived by what appears before them, but time will expose all realities—will you find yourself upon a noble steed, steady upon the path, or will you realise too late that you were merely riding a donkey? The difference lies in whom you follow and which path you choose. May Allah guide you, protect you, and grant you the honour of upholding His religion with sincerity and truth.
-Abu Zakariyya Ahmed Al-Hudaydi
