Why it is Obligatory to Ascribe Oneself to Salafiyyah

Overview:

Listen to the Imaam of Salafiyyah (Imaam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen al-Albaanee) recount his encounter with a man who does not feel that it is obligatory for one to ascribe himself openly to the truth – the madhhab of the Salaf.

Also the Sheikh answers the question of why it is not sufficient to just say "I am Muslim."

Arabic w/English translation

Listen Here

Ya Allah I ask that this audio is a benefit to all who listen to it. I ask ya Rabb that those who are not familiar with the manhaj of as Salafiyyah that they find the truth in it, and that if You in your mercy bring them to this haqq, that then You keep their feet firm upon it. Ameen

JazakAllah Khayr Kadafi. :) It's nice to see you back.

Salaam,

Following a discussion elsewhere, I am wondering, doesn't this contradict the Qur'an in the following places:

And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this Quran), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allahs Favour on you.....
[Surah Al-Imran, 103]


 And verily! This your religion (of Islamic Monotheism) is one religion, and I am your Lord, so keep your duty to Me.
But they (men) have broken their religion among them into sects, each group rejoicing in its belief.
But they (men) have broken their religion among them into sects, each group rejoicing in its belief.
[Surah, Al-Momenoon, 52:54]

Turn ye back in repentance to Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not ye among those who join gods with Allah,- Those who split up their Religion, and become (mere) Sects,- each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!
[Surah Al-Room, 32]

No comments? I'm disappointed! Here let me try again. There is this hadith as we all know:

The Prophet Muhammad said "Indeed those from before you from the People of the Book divided into seventy-two groups. And, indeed, this group (Muslims) will divide into seventy-three. Seventy-two groups will be in the Hellfire and one of them will be in Paradise. And it is the Jamaa'ah (group)."

Some people are deeming this a weak hadith saying that it contradicts the three verses mentioned in my post above. I suppose I'm inclined to agree with them. I'm not sure what to believe now. What do you guys think?

It does not contradict the ayahs you cited because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) merely prophesied that sects/parties will emerge. He warned us about them and commanded us to adhere to the main body [jamaa'ah] of the Muslimeen.

For example, many hizbs[groups] and sects emerged claimin' to be on the path of Ahlus-Sunnah but the scholars of truth exposed their deviant ideologies and falsehood. This is because the Prophet said that a group of his Ummah will always remain on the Truth untill the Day of Recompense and they are those who follow the path of those whom Allaah has favoured, namely the Prophets, the Siddiqun, the martyrs and the righteous.

Then who are "these" people? Are they scholars of hadeeth? Apparantly not since these hadeeths related by at-Tirmidhi and al-hakeem have been authenthicated by al-Haafidh al-Iraaqee in Takhreejul-Ihyaa and Shaykh al-Albaanee [the hadeeth scholar of the century] in as-Saheehah
