The Stability of the ‘Aqeedah of the Salaf & Its Safety From Alteration
Verily the pure unadulterated correct Islamic Aqeedah is the most important of all affairs and the most imperative of the obligations. Therefore, it is a must to place the concern for this before the concern for everything else. So when we reflect upon the biographies of our righteous predecessors (may Allāh have mercy on them and house them in paradise, and grant them good on behalf of the Muslims), we find them giving great concern for the affair of Aqeedah. Their concern for it was intense, and they gave it precedence over all other matters. It is the greatest of their concerns, the utmost of their intents, and the noblest of their purposes. Their concern for the Aqeedah manifests in various areas and is the reason for them preserving and maintaining it by authoring beneficial works and valuable books to establish the Aqeedah, clarify it, and mention its evidences. Also to protect the Aqeedah from the plots of the plotters, the assault of the violators, and those who negate and who distort it.
Our Obligations Concerning the Companions – Shaykh Abdur-Razzaq al-Badr
A small excerpt from the book: The topic of this discussion is entitled “Our obligation concerning the noble companions” (May Allāh be pleased with them); which is an enormous duty and a great demand (by Islām) that is fitting for us all to peek our interest and devote the utmost concern for. The honored reader should also know that our obligation to the companions is a part of our obligation to our religion is a part of our obligation to our religion; the religion of Islām which Allāh has approved for His servants. No other religion besides it will not be accepted from them as Allāh says, “Truly, the religion with Allah is Islām.” [Sūrah ʿAli ʿImrān 3:19] Likewise, Allāh says, “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter, he will be one of the losers.” [Sūrah ʿAli ʿImrān 3:85] This true religion and straight path is the religion of Allāh. Allāh selected a trustworthy Messenger; one who is a sincere advisor and wise; an honored Messenger who is Muḥammad (Peace be upon him). He conveyed this religion in a complete manner, explained it fully; and established what His Lord ordered in the most perfect aspect and circumstance as Allāh ordered him, “O Messenger (Muhammad)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allah will protect you from mankind. Verily, Allah guides not the people who disbelieve.” [Sūrah al-Mā’idah 5:67]
