The Prophetic methodology is the path of the saved sect and the victorious group. It is based on pillars, which are: returning to the Book (Qur'an) and the Sunnah with the understanding of the righteous predecessors from among the Companions and those who followed them in righteousness; calling to the Tawheed of Allah and the sincerity of worship for Him alone, without any partner; warning people against polytheism in all its forms and diverse manifestations; calling to adherence by exclusively following the infallible (Prophet); rejecting the blind following (taqleed) of men and following desires; avoiding innovations and disavowing them both outwardly and inwardly, along with distancing from the people of desires and opposing them by all possible means, in every way; seeking beneficial knowledge from its sources; and honouring the scholars who follow guidance, avoid desires, and comprehend the Book and the Sunnah with the understanding of the righteous predecessors.

وَمِنْهَاجُ النُّبُوَّةِ، هُو مَنْهَجُ الفِرْقَةِ النَّاجِيَةِ، وَالطَّائِفَةِ المَنْصُورَةِ، وَهُو قَائِمٌ عَلَى دَعَائِمَ؛ هِي : الرُّجُوعُ إِلَى الكِتَابِ وَالسُّنَّةِ بِفَهْمِ سَلَفِ الأُمَّةِ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُم بِإِحْسَانٍ، وَالدَّعْوَةُ إِلَى تَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِخْلَاصِ العَمَلِ لَهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَتَحْذِيرُ النَّاسِ مِن الشِّرْكِ عَلَى اخْتِلَافِ صُوَرِهِ وَتَنوُّعِ مَظَاهِرِهِ، وَالدَّعْوَةُ إِلَى الاتِّبَاعِ بِتَجْرِيدِ المُتَابَعَةِ للمَعْصُومِ ، وَنَبْذُ تَقْلِيدِ الرِّجَالِ وَاتَّبَاعِ الهَوَى، وَمُجَانَبَةُ البِدَعِ ، وَالبَرَاءَةُ مِنْهَا ظَاهِرًا وَبَاطِئًا، مَع مُجَانَبَةِ أَهْلِ الْأَهْوَاءِ وَالقِيَامِ عَلَيْهِم بِكُلِّ مُمكِنٍ فِي كُلِّ سَبِيلٍ، وَطَلَبُ العِلْمِ النَّافِعِ مِن مَظَانِّهِ، وَتَقْدِيرُ العُلَمَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الهُدَى وَيُجَانِبُونَ الهَوَى، وَيَفْقَهُونَ الكِتَابَ وَالسُّنَّةَ بِفَهْمِ السَّلَفِ الصَّالِحِينَ.

The morning and evening supplications are more important than the breaths you take and should be a rule adhered to. Beware of neglecting them, or else you will have entered the battle without a weapon, exposing your chest and making yourself a target for an enemy who will show no mercy (i.e., Shaytan).

أذكار الصباح والمساء أهم من النَفَس، وينبغي أن تكون قانونا يُلتزم. أهم من النَفَس! إياك أن تُفَرِط فيها، وإلا فقد دخلت المعركة بغير سلاح. كشفت صدرك، واستهدفت لعدو لن يرحمك.

Sheikh Muhammad Sa’eed Raslan حفظه الله

And every knowledge that does not instill fear [of Allah] in you is a burden upon you. Knowledge is that which instills fear [of Allah] in you: “It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah.” Knowledge is what instills fear [of Allah] in you. Any knowledge that does not benefit you must harm you. The knowledge that does not benefit you harms you because you establish the proof against yourself. Thus, the knowledge that you do not act upon is a detriment to you. You will be questioned about it: “Why did you not act upon it?”

وكلُّ علمٍ لم يورثك خشية فهو وبالٌ عليك, العلم ما أورثك الخشية { إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ}, قال: العلم ما أورثك الخشية, كلُّ علمٍ لا ينفعُك, لابدَّ أن يضرَّك, العلم الذي لا ينفعك يضرُّك؛ لأنَّك تُقِيمُ الحُجَّةَ على نفسِك, فالعلم الذي لا تعملُ به مضرةٌ عليك, ستُسألُ عنه, لمَ لم تعمل به؟
