The Victorious Group

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “There will not cease to be a group amongst my Ummah upon the truth; neither will they be harmed by those who betray them nor those who oppose them until the command of Allah arrives [i.e. the day of judgement]”. [Al-Bukhari]

Al-Allamah Salih Al-Fawzan, may Allah preserve him, stated:

This group will not cease to exist in the Ummah. The Ummah will not be deprived of this Sunni Group. This Taa’ifah (Group) can be one group. If it adheres to the Qur’an and the Sunnah, it is the Taa’ifah Al-Mansoorah (The Victorious Group), even if it is only one. The Ummah will not lose this Sunni Group, this good group, and all praise be to Allah, until the command of Allaah comes to pass (i.e. the Day of Judgment]. “They will not be harmed by those who forsake them”. Amongst the people are those who forsake them and those who oppose them, but they will not be harmed. This is from Allah’s Grace upon His servants and that He will establish the truth for the one who aids the truth and call to it, even if evil is rife. There will be those who adhere to good, call to it and spread it amongst the people. Not all the Ummah will be misguided, rather, some will remain upon truth, but they might be strangers, as the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “Islam began as a strange thing and it will return as a strange thing, and glad tidings to the strangers”. They asked, “Who are the strangers O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “They are those who will be upright when the people become corrupt”.. and in another version of this hadith “Those who rectify what the people have corrupted”. These are the strangers because the majority of the people oppose them, belittle, forsake and keep away from what they are upon, but this will not harm them. “They will never be harmed by those who forsake them nor by those who oppose them”. Allah will make them remain so that His Proofs remain amongst the creation until the end of time.

This group maybe in the East, the West, or the North etc…They are not in a specific place, but they are present. Whoever wants will find it. It is present and all praise is due to Allah. Alhamdulil laah, we – at present – are upon a correct methodology, upon a sound methodology; our methodology is that which the Qur’an and sunnah necessitate, our learning is based upon the Qur’an and the Sunnah. We study Tafsir, hadith and its explanation, the Aqeedah of the pious predecessors and that which they were upon. Alhamadulil laah at present we are upon a correct path, a sound methodology and straight path. We ask Allah to keep us firm upon it until we meet him, neither substituting nor changing it.
