[quote="ENDURE4ALLAH"]Asalama Alaikum Brother/sister 'thisisnotabdi'
Indeed one cannot be sure that one is on the correct path but we can try and imitate the correct way that the Prophet (sallahu alyewasalam) and his companions did, surely sticking close to the sunnah and Quran will not mislead you if your adviser and Saviour is Allah Aazz'wa'jaal.
Your second accusation being that i think i am better...pray where did i state that i thought myself to be better than them?
It is indeed wrong of you to accuse without proof.
As for unity...i meant REAL Islamic brotherhood/sisterhood cannot be achieved with people of Bidah...living peacefully side by side can be achieved but not religious acceptance as that would defeat the whole purpose of exposing and discouraging Bidah.
Maybe you should read carefully what i wrote...pardon me for being emotional in my post but i mean neither to be arrogant or proud and Allah knows best my intentions...but i will not hide the fact that i despise bidah and people whom know what they are doing is bidah and yet still continue...for shirk is the gravest sin of them all...May Allah keep us safe from that evil.
Bidah is such a hidden sin that at times it is impossible to see and in order to avoid that we must gain knowledge inshallah.

salaam sister, sorry if i accused you of being arrogant. but fact remains, if we cannot be united with muslims who differ from us in their interpretation then how on earth are to establish a caliphate? the world is full of muslims who do NOT call themselves salaafis what of them? are we to shun them and not accept their devotion to god simply because their scholars differ from ours? since when was it a religious obligation to wholeheartedly believe in the people who ruled the muslim lands after the prophet(scw) death.
as for bidah, or innovation, i wouldnt speak of it, i refuse to brand someone a lesser muslim than me simply because we differ in interpretation. we share the same religion, pray to the same god, and follow the same prophets, why then should there NOT be religious unity?
anyways, thanks for your reply sis, and do reconsider your stand against other muslims. we are one and the same. but of course allah knows best and we should leave him to judge who is the better muslim.
