| Proper Attributions When Talking About Ahl Al Sunnah Wal Jama’ah | |
| 2004-05-04 | |
| When we are talking about Ahl Al Sunnah Wal Jama’ah, we are not speaking about Abu Hanifah, nor Imam Maalik, nor Imam Shafi’i, nor Imam Ahmed, we are speaking about the salaf, though, all four imams are from Ahl Al Sunnah Wal Jama’ah. A Deen is always attributed to Allah (swt) A Millah is always attributed to a nabi e.g. Millat Ibrahim (as), Millat Muhammad (saw) A Firqah (sect) is always attributed to belief matter - Aqeedah e.g. Ahl ul Sunnah Wal Jama’ah, Mu’tazilah (rationalists), Ash’aris, Maturidis, etc. A Madhab is always attributed to a Juristic scholar e.g. Hanafi madhab = Abu Hanifah (ra), Maliki Madhab = Imam Malik (ra), Shafi’i Madhab = Imam Shafi’i (ra), Hanbali Madhab = Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (ra). Al U’zaa’ie = Imam Al U’zaa’ie, Al Thawrie - Imam Al Thawrie, Al Salaamie = Imam Al ’Izz ibn Abdul Salaam etc. A Jama’ah is always attributed to a particular duty or obligation
