Aslam

Praise be to Allah.Ahl

al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah are those who adhere to the Sunnah and who unite

upon it, not turning to anything else, whether that be in matters of

belief (‘aqeedah) or matters of actions which are subject to shar’i

rulings. Hence they are called Ahl al-Sunnah because they adhere to

it (the Sunnah), and they called Ahl al-Jamaa’ah because they are united

(mujtami’oon) in following it.

If you examine the followers of bid’ah (innovation),

you will find that they differ concerning that which they are following,

with regard to beliefs, methodology and practices, which indicates that

their being far removed from the Sunnah is commensurate with the extent

to which they have introduced innovations.
