In the name of Allah most
gracious most merciful
Assalaamualaikum wa
rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu,
Adhere to the large
group[community] of Muslims.
Its essential to remain with
the community
----------------------------------------------
Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 184
Narrated byMu'adh ibn Jabal
Allah's Messenger (peace be
upon him) said: Verily Satan is the wolf of a man just as the wolf is (the
enemy) of a flock. He seizes the solitary sheep
going astray from the flock or
going aside from the flock. So avoid the branching paths; it is essential for
you to remain along with the community.
Transmitted by Ahmad.
Stick to the group of Muslims
and their Imam (ruler).
----------------------------------------------------------
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith
9.206 Narrated byHudhaifa bin Al Yaman
The people used to ask Allah's
Apostle about the good but I used to ask him about the evil lest I should be
overtaken by them. So I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! We were living in
ignorance and in an (extremely) worst atmosphere, then Allah brought to us this
good (i.e., Islam); will there be any evil
after this good?" He
said, "Yes." I said, "Will there be any good after that
evil?" He replied, "Yes, but it will be tainted (not pure.)" I
asked, "What
will be its taint?" He
replied, )There will be) some people who will guide others not according to my
tradition. You will approve of some of their
deeds and disapprove of some
others." I asked, "Will there be any evil after that good?" He
replied, "Yes, (there will be) some people calling at the
gates of the (Hell) Fire, and
whoever will respond to their call, will be thrown by them into the (Hell)
Fire." I said, "O Allah s Apostle! Will you
describe them to us?" He
said, "They will be from our own people and will speak our language."
I said, "What do you order me to do if such a state
should take place in my
life?" He said, "Stick to the group of Muslims and their Imam
(ruler)." I said, "If there is neither a group of Muslims nor an
Imam (ruler)?" He said,
"Then turn away from all those sects even if you were to bite (eat) the
roots of a tree till death overtakes you while you
are in that state."
To maintain the community
-----------------------------
Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 3694
Narrated byAl-Harith al-Ash'ari
Allah's Messenger (peace be
upon him) said, "I command you to do five things: to maintain the
community, to listen, to obey, to emigrate, and to
fight in Allah's cause. He who
secedes from the community as much as a span has cast off the tie of Islam from
his neck unless he returns, and he who
summons to what the pre-Islamic people believed belongs to the assemblies of Jahannam even if he fasts, prays, and asserts that he is a Muslim."
Ahmad and Tirmidhi transmitted
it.
Adhere to the group of Muslims
and their Chief
---------------------------------------------------
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith
4.803 Narrated byHudhaifa bin Al Yaman
The people used to ask Allah's
Apostle about good, but I used to ask him about evil for fear that it might
overtake me. Once I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! We were in ignorance
and in evil and Allah has bestowed upon us the present good; will there be any
evil after this good?" He said, "Yes." I
asked, "Will there be
good after that evil?" He said, "Yes, but it would be tainted with
Dakhan (i.e. Little evil)." I asked, "What will its Dakhan be?"
He said, "There will be
some people who will lead (people) according to principles other than my
tradition. You will see their actions and
disapprove of them." I
said, "Will there be any evil after that good?" He said, "Yes,
there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of
Hell, and whoever accepts
their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them)." I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Describe those people to us." He said,
"They will belong to us
and speak our language." I asked, "What do you order me to do if such
a thing should take place in my life?" He said, "Adhere to
the group of Muslims and their
Chief." I asked, "If there is neither a group (of Muslims) nor a
chief (what shall I do)?" He said, "Keep away from all
those different sects, even if
you had to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, till you meet Allah while you
are still in that state."
My community will remain well
till they dont delay Asr salah
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 418
Narrated byAbuAyyub
Marthad ibn Abdullah said:
When AbuAyyub came upon us to fight the infidels and in those days Uqbah ibn
Amir was the Governor of Egypt, he (Uqbah)
delayed the sunset prayer.
Hence AbuAyyub stood and said: What kind of prayer is this, Uqbah? He said: We
were busy. He said: Did you not hear the
Apostle of Allah (peace be
upon him) say: My community will remain well, or he said: will remain on its
natural condition, so long as it would not delay
the evening prayer until the
stars shine brightly just like a network.
Main stream of the community
---------------------------------
Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 1306
Narrated byAbuMusa al-Ash'ari
Allah's Messenger (peace be
upon him) said, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious looks down on the middle night
of Sha'ban and forgives all His creation
except a polytheist or one who
is mushahin (innovator in religion and out of the main stream of the community.
Transmitted by Ibn Majah.
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 4278
Narrated byAbuHurayrah
The Prophet (peace be upon
him) said: Allah will raise for this community at the end of every hundred
years the one who will renovate its religion for
it.
From Quran :
--------------
22:18 Pickthall Hast thou not
seen that unto Allah payeth adoration whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever
is in the earth, and the sun, and
the moon, and the stars, and
the hills, and the trees, and the beasts, and
many of mankind, while there are many unto whom the doom is justly due.
He
whom Allah scorneth, there is
none to give him honor. Lo! Allah doeth what He will.
From the day Adam alai salam
set foot on earth till the last human to be on earth.
Many[large ppl will be
muslims]% : many [large ppl will be disbelievers]%
Muslims% :
Non-muslims[kuffar]%
Muslims with [small]sects :
Kuffar with various religions
so condition is large/many for
Muslims.That is mainsteam muslims.
large/many or majority
--->the Quran & hadith followers.
Allah subhanawatala is the
wisest.he repeats he is wise many times in Quran.He has very wisely chosen the
word "many" because he is speaking about
Muslims & kuffar ratio.
when we speak of muslims
correct belief ratio:then among the muslims the large number belief is correct
as they fit into the category of "many"
So altogether large number of
people in paradise.
56:10 And those Foremost (in
Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).
11These will be those Nearest
to Allah:
12 In Gardens of Bliss:
13 A number of people from
those of old
14 And a few from those of
later times.
56:38 For the companions of
the Right Hand.
39 A (goodly) number from
those of old
40 And a (goodly) number from
those of later times.
For non-muslims[kuffar]
---------------------------
6:116 If thou obeyedst most of
those on earth they would mislead thee far from Allah's way. They follow naught
but an opinion, and they do but
guess.[This is for Kuffar][non-muslims]as
per the contextual verses.
6:116, 12:103, 5:49, 12:38
--------> for kuffar.
Allah knows best.
