Shaikh Abdul-Azeez Bin Abdillah Bin Baaz said:
Fitnah also occurs due to following doubtful
matters and the desire. How much fitnah occurred on many people due to them
following doubtful matters that do not have any foundation, like it happened to
the Jahmis the Mu’tazilis, the Shiats, and the Mur'jis
and other than them from among the deviated sects of the people of innovation!
They are tempted by doubts that misled them from the right path and took them
out of the way of the Ahlus- Sunnah Wal-Jamaa’ah. So this became a
Fitnah for them and for other than them, except those whom Allâh the Almighty
favored.
And the only way of being safe from all
kinds of Fitnah is by holding fast to the Book of Allâh and the Sunnah of His
Messenger (sallahu alayhi wa salaam)
As it is narrated from Ali from the Prophet (sallahu alayhi wa salaam), that he said:
“There will be
fitnah” they said: what is the way out O Messenger of Allâh ? He said: “The Book
of Allâh; it contains the chronicle of those before you and the news of what is
after you and the criteria of what is between you”[1].
And what is meant by Fitnah in the hadith
includes the Fitnah of desire, doubts, war, innovations and all kinds of
Fitnah; and there is no other way one can be safe from them except by seeking
the understanding of the Book of Allâh and the Sunnah of the Messenger of
Allâh (sallahu alayhi wa salaam) , and by being well acquainted with the methodology of the predecessors
of the Ummah from among the companions and whoever follow their footsteps from
among the leaders of Islâm and those who
call to the guidance. And everything that the people speak with, adhere to and
connect with at their time of peace and war and in all their affairs must be
referred to the Book of Allâh and the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallahu alayhi wa salaam) . Allâh the Most High said:
“O you who believe! Obey Allâh and obey the Messenger [Muhammad
[peace be upon him]] and those of you [Muslims] who are in authority. [And] if
you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allâh and His Messenger
[peace be upon him], if you believe in Allâh and in the Last Day. That is
better and more suitable for final determination”.[2]
Meaning the best outcome and this is the only true way and the only
true path.
