Do the current sects fall under the Hadith 'My Ummah will be split...'?


469

Q 2: How can we explain the emergence of the present religious sects, where each sect has its own way of Da‘wah (calling to Islam) and each one of them wants to be on top. Do they or some of them come under the Hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him): My Ummah (nation) will split into seventy-three sects, all of which will be in Hellfire except one... ? How can we reconcile between the following groups: Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimun (the Muslim Brotherhood), Salafiyyah (those following the way of the righteous predecessors), Al-Khalafiyyah, Al-Takfir wa Al-Hijrah, Al-Tabligh and Sufism ...Etc.


A: The Din (Religion) of Allah is one and the way to Him is one, so whoever embraces and applies the religion of Islam and follows the very same way which the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) followed, they are the ones in the right.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
