Question:
Out of our four Maslaks which is the most accurate Maslak which follows the Quran & Authentic Traditions of Prophet Mohammed (SAW), and also let me know about the prominent books of that Maslak. I'll be highly obliged if you'll guide me to follow the right path of Islam.
Thanking you, yours brother in Islam.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
So long as a Muslim is following the correct evidence (daleel) and has the desire to follow the Sunnah properly, there is no harm in following any of the Imams when it comes to rules of fiqh. In the case of the ordinary Muslim (who is not educated in fiqh), his madhhab (school of thought) is that of the mufti whose knowledge he trusts. But problems of the worst type occur when people become fanatically devoted to one particular imam or madhhab, to the extent that they reject the truth or ignore other sound evidence because of this.
Allaah warns against rejecting the word of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (interpretation of the meaning): “… And let those who oppose the Messenger’s commandment (i.e., his Sunnah) (among the sects) beware, lest some fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, etc.) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them.” [al-Noor 24:63]
this seems to be a topic that causes alot of fighting among the ummah
I am basically a revert and this has put an awful lot of doubt in my mind even it did lead me to questioning everything in islam Alhamdulilah im still a revert but it pains me to see muslims fighting over the internet as to which sect they belong.
well i had accepted islam nearly two years ago now because i believed that Allah is one and the prophet mohammad pbuh was his last messenger however i was not praying or doing anything islamic it took me a while to absorb everything
I started only practicing 8 or 9months ago, thats when i Actually BECAME A MUSLIM Alhamduliah i joined this forum then.
Well i go to my local mosques and i learnt how to pray etc etc and learnt all the stuff... until people started telling me ''oh you are hanafi'' you pray like hanaifi'' i didnt know what on earth they were talking about. thats how i was thought how to pray. so then they told me what it was, i said fair enough but still not really caring what they were saying. just know that it had something to do with the four imams...
Its not my fault i was thought how to pray that way but whats with labeling?
Im currently studying salafi at the moment... but brothers and sisters please be careful with reverts. it can really make them even consider leaving islam thats why im educating myself now

walaikuam assalam,
sister dont get depressed. Ignore such MUSLIMS!
Just purify your intentions and worship Allah and keep on seeking what is the right method of prayer without paying attention to what the people have to say. Allah will give you the truth. Allah swt will look at the effort we have made to get to close to HIM by searching the truth, He will not punish us if we stayed in sajda 0.5 milliseconds more than the time Prophet bpuh spent in sajda.

Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed

i had the same problem. but alhumdullilah i had a good freind who explained really the differences between the madhabs is minor (eg holding hands on chest or navel) and they only arise because the prophet would do things differently at different stages of his life, often in response to how the condition of muslims were at the time. you cant label anybody incorrect or else you would label the prophet saws wrong.
my father gave me the best reason for this. he said Allah does not wish for any of the sunnah of his prophet to be lost, so he set some people to follow as the prophet did late in his life, and others to follow as early muslims did (eg raisnig the hand to ears for every takbeer).
nowadays for sure there have been some things that people do based on weak hadith and others that are just made up. these are the people who are the real innovators.
