Answer:
What madhab do we
follow
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 3585 Narrated by Mu'adh ibn Jabal
When the Messenger of Allah (saws) intended
to send Muadh ibn Jabal (r.a.) to the
Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, for each and every question
without exception our striving is to base the answers on only the guidance of
the Glorious Quran and the authentic and established Sunnah of the Messenger of
Allah (saws).
If perchance the Quran and the Sunnah are silent on an
issue, then and only then do we refer to the opinion of the eminent and
recognized scholars who have based their opinion on that matter in light of the
guidance of the Quran and the Sunnah.
Your
Question: i just wonted to know what maslak do the team belongs too.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah
Hajj verse 77-78:
O you who have believed, do ‘rukooh’ (bow down) and do ‘sajdah’
(prostration), and worship your Lord Allah Alone, and do righteous deeds: it
may be that you attain true success!
Exert your utmost for the cause of Allah, as one should. He has chosen you for His service, and has
not laid on you any hardship in your religion.
Therefore, be steadfast in the
religion of your father Abraham. Allah
had named you ‘muslims’ before this, and has named you (muslims) in this Quran
also, so that the Messenger may
be a witness in regard to you, and you
may be witnesses in regard to the rest of mankind.
Dear and beloved sister in Islam, Shias, Sunnis, Ismailis,
Salafees, Ahle-Sunnah, Ahle-Hadeeth, etc. are all sect names which man has
named and chosen for himself; ……the name which Allah Subhanah has Himself
chosen for the believers is ‘muslims’!
It does not behove and befit a true believer who sincerely
believes in Allah and the Last Day, to belong to any self-invented and man-made
sect or maslak; but rather one who sincerely believes should be proud to be
recognized with the name his Lord Most Gracious has chosen for His believing
slaves: ie. ‘muslims’.
Allah says in Chapter 30
Surah Rum aayat 31-32
This (Islam) is the right and true faith, but
most people do not know. (Be steadfast on this) turning wholly and sincerely
towards Allah Alone, and fear Him, and establish the Salat, and do not be
like the mushriks, who have set up their separate creeds and divided themselves
into sects, each sect rejoicing in what it has.
Allahs says in Chapter 42 Surah Ash-Shura aayat
13
He (Allah) has appointed for you the same Way of
Life, which He had ordained for Noah,
and which (O Mohamed (saws)) We have now revealed to you, and which We had
already enjoined on Abraham and Moses and Jesus, stressing this: "Establish
this Way and be not divided in it".
We absolutely assure you in the Blessed Name of the Lord
sister that we do not prescribe to any particular ‘maslak’, or ‘sect’, or
‘madhab’, etc…..we are more than honored and satisfied to be called and
recognized by the name the Lord Most Gracious has Himself chosen for the
believers: ie. muslims.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
