SALAFISM - THE BLINDEST FORM OF TAQLEED

Whilst the Saudi Salafis of our era deceptively pride themselves with having unfettered themselves from the Taqleed which binds the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and his Sahaabah, they are the blindest followers (muqallideen), submitting to the dictates of a man who appeared on the Islamic scene almost 7 centuries after Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

Many Muslims are of the habit of saying the phrase: “FEE NAARI JAHANNAM” when they hear of the passing away of a non-Muslim especially so, if it was their enemy who passed away. Please comment

Rasulullah (S.A.W.) stated that actions will be judged with the final act committed. A man may have led a life of kufr, but he may have repented and embraced Islam a few minutes prior to the fateful appearance of the Angel of Death. It is, therefore wrong to utter: “Fee Naari Jahannam” when a person…
