Bismihi Ta'ala

The term Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah is used for those people who strictly base their doctrines upon the Qur'an, Sunnah, and Ijmaa (Consensus of Sahaabah or Tabi'oon). It is a term used to differentitate from the many deviant sects that formed from the first century of Islam until present day.

The term Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah is derived from a combination of Qur'anic Verses and Sound Narrations. A verse of Surah al-Nisaa states: "Whomsoever opposes the Rasool after guidance has become manifest (Sunnah), and follows a way other than way of the believers (Jama'ah), then we will turn him towards al the deviant ways he wishes to turn but the result will be Jahannam. Such a bad abode."

The term Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah has been derived from this verse, for the very reason that the Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah do not oppose the way of the Rasool or his rightly guided companions in their doctrines.

The Ahaadith that indicate this term are many. It would be difficult to encompass all of them at this moment. Here are some of the Ahaadith related to his term: Rasoolullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam is reported to have ordered the people to follow his way and the way of the rightly guided Caliphs. Also, in some Narrations, the Companions of Rasoolullah have been described as perfect role models for salvation, because their way of life would not contradict the teachings of Allah and his Rasool.

Also, many Ahaadith speak on the Jama'ah, and that whosoever seperates from them wil become prey to Shaytaan.

We may conclude from this that the term Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah is not a term which is newly introduced, in fact it is derived from a combination of many sound verses of the Qur'an and Ahaadith.

It seems from the question that there is a lack of knowledge and understanding in this regard. Not every single detail of Shari'ah must be explicitly expressed or declared in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Sometimes, rulings are derived from indications, and implications of verses or ahaadith. For this reason, a whole science, known as Usool al-Fiqh is established in order for a Scholar to recognise and identify the correct sources of Islamic Law and methods to deduce rulings from those sources. Some rulings are deduced from Dalaalat al-Nass, Ibaarat al-Nass, Ishaarat al-Nass, and Iqtidhaa al-Nass. This isn't the place to discuss this in-depth.

If the rulings of Sharia'ah were so clear cut and explicit for every individual of this Ummah to understand according to his or her discretion then there would be no sound Islamic Learning. Neither would there be the need for Jurists or Muhadditheen whom exerted all efforts and abilities and spent their entire lives struggling to deduce rulings from the Sound Sources of Islamic Law.

There is need for great understanding. May Allah bless us all and grant us understanding of the Deen. Aameen

Your success and my success lies in following the commandments of Allah, shown by the Prophet (saw)

. If Muslims adopt any other way it will surely lead to failure and the ultimate doom.

Remember this life is only a test.

I would however suggest you go spend some time with a local Islamic scholar in your area/city, it will be very beneficial to you.

Actually the reason i am asking is that..

I per my puny knowledge i know that islam is about beliefs. If we go nearly 100 years back no one would give so much importance to quran and sunnah, i am confused why the trend has suddenly started.

Everyone is suddenly saying every muslim should become wali of allah and if anyone is a sinner/faasiq, he is doomed in this world and the hereafter, i mean how can you be so sure of muslim's fate because of his sins and much more importance is given to looks and clothing than needed.

i think some people are giving much more importance than needed and restricting muslims in limits which shariah has granted leniency.

Please correct me,if i am wrong.

What you have mentioned is called....istidraj

www.muftisays.com/forums/12-virtues/8410-what-is-istidraj...

This is the state of a person who is favoured by Allah but lives a life of sin. Allah is allowing him time to realise and return to the right path.

It's all a test, Allah sometimes tests through poverty and sometimes through success, sometimes through your own health and sometimes your own children. But remember everything in this life is temporary they won't last and neither do you take it with you when you die. When Alexander the Great passed away he said bury me with my arms open so the world may know, that Alexander had everything but he went with nothing. As Muslims we believe that we take our deeds with us.

True success is adherence to Quran and Sunnah to the letter and to die on Iman/whilst reciting Kalimah and therefore Insh'Ala leading to Jannah.

Who told you no one gave importance to Quran and Sunnah ???

That Deen which does not have Quran and Sunnah is not Deen at all but probably some kind of misguided innovation or even worse probably not even Islam.

Because Allah made Deen the benchmark to measure success, not worldly things.

If the world was worth a mosquito's wing to Allah, He would not give a kafir a sip of water to drink.

So it doesn't really matter who has or doesn't have from material things because it's not something by which success is measured according to Allah.

I think i'm missing something....

100 years ago people cared muuccchhh much more about quraan+hadeeth and islaam in general than what we do today. If you read islamic history, you will realize that muslims of before attached so much of importance to every word of the Quraan/Hadeeth that they not only lived for it, but willingly died for it.

Please don't become a saint, im asking you nicely. Like the rest of us, just work on becoming a proper muslims first.

You have a really wrong idea about the history of Islam. This is not a 'sudden' phenomenon. Since the revelation of the Quran 1400 years ago, itself this matter was implied, that we Muslims should struggle to get close to Allah Ta'ala. Its not a new phenomenon.

For the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (saw)

the basic principles are from the Quran and the Sunnah, it has been like that for all these years. Its really foolish to say that its a 'new' phenomenon.

1. Allah Ta'ala mentions in the Quran that Quran is a means of guidance:

" This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah "
(Al Baqara, verse 2)

So we follow the Quran,

2. Allah Ta'ala commands us to obey the Prophet (saw)

:

"Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and beware (of evil): if ye do turn back, know ye that it is Our Messenger's duty to proclaim (the Message) in the clearest manner."
(Ale Imran, verse 92)

So we follow the Sunnah.

The Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) has been accepted as an important source of Islamic law, next in importance only to the Holy Qur'�n. This status of the Sunnah has remained unchallenged and undisputed throughout the centuries. There have been many differences among Muslims in their juristic opinions, but the authority of the Holy Qur'�n and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was never denied by any jurist. Leaving aside some scattered individuals who separated themselves from the main stream of the Muslim population, nobody has ever refused to accept the Sunnahof the Holy Prophet(Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) as a sacred source of the Islamic law

2. What is true success.?

Every soul has to taste death. It is on the Day of Judgement that you shall be paid your rewards in full. So, whoever has been kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has really succeeded. The worldly life is nothing but an illusionary enjoyment. al-Imran 3:185
