Sadeboi, Great explanation and a wise decision not to engage with 'Enlightened' Sista
American Salafi, Welcome back
A great post by Fiisabeelelah outlining what is meant by Dacwa Salaffiyah
"Assalamu a'leykum,
Let me clarify one thing, the path of the salaf-us-salih is a path. not a Hizb(group) or a private members club. so for a man to be called a follower of the salaf he must walk the path. and the path is not speech. and according to aqeedah of ahlu sunnah. Al-Imaan is speech and action of the limbs. so without action it doesnt make a difference if someone calls himself 'salafi' at the end his deeds will be weighed.
As for these people that try and make the the path of the salaf a hizb. then we tell them as the shiekh ibn utheymeen (rahimahuallah) said 'there is the path of the salaf and there is a group called the salafi's and there is a difference between them'.
So we should strive to follow them in their 'Ibaadah, in their Zuhd in their Taqwah and in their Jihaad in the path of Allah.
So we should follow the way of the salaf to the best of our ability, and then hope for the Rahma of Allah. And there is no room for self-rightousness in this deen. and as Umar (RA) said'Take account of yourselves before your are brought to account.'.
wa'alikuma salaam."
Shilling,
