Salafi Audio UNLIMITED

This lecture by Abu Khadeejah 'Abdul-Waahid (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) was recorded LIVE at the Manchester Summer Conference 2019 on the 23rd of June 2019 at the Salafi Centre of Manchester and posted on the Learn About Islam Islam official SoundCloud account.

The companions never differed in Aqeedah or the foundations of the religion. He explains how their creed came about and how this links with the beliefs common among Muslims today.

Abul-Hasan al-Ash’ari (d. 329 AH) whom the Ash’ari's ascribe themselves to, was a Mu’tazilee until the age of 40. He then adopted the ideology of the Kullaabiyah. Jahm ibn Safwaan and Ja’d ibn Dirham the predecessors of ibn Kullaab were so extreme that they were executed due to their extreme beliefs.

He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) gives details of their deviations and explains how they are all linked.

Abul-Hasan al-Ash’aree later started to seek knowledge, and after studying from the Hanbali's he repented and returned to the Sunnah. This is the belief that he died upon, as he stated himself in his books and so did his companions.

In fact, the Ash’ari's take the belief of Ash’aree when he was upon the way of the Kullaabiyah. They even adopted the original ideas of the Mu’tazila and Jahmiyyah that even ibn Kullaab refuted.

In it, he (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) traces back the creed of the Ash’ari's to ibn Kulaab (d. 240 AH). He lived in the same era as Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal (d. 241 AH). The majority of Muslims today are upon this creed.
