This document discusses the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah in deriving Islamic creed and addressing heresies. It begins by defining key terms like aqeedah and the people of the Sunnah. It notes the sources of aqeedah are the Quran and authentic hadith. It outlines a breakdown of the discussion, including how Ahlus Sunnah derives rulings from these primary sources and refutes deviations, in accordance with established principles of interpretation. The document emphasizes adherence to the Quran, Sunnah and understanding of the earliest generations of Muslims.
4. “We Believe Jews and Christians will enter paradise because God says in the Quran…” Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. – Quran 2:62
5. Two ways of understanding this ayah: Either : This ayah is talking about all the Jews, Christians and Sabians who have ever existed or will exist Or This ayah is talking about the historical Jews, Christians and Sabians who followed their respective Prophets Which understanding is correct?
6. The Importance of Principles Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein many contradictions. -Quran 4:82 Principle: The understanding of one ayah cannot contradict another ayah. This is the first principle in Usool at-Tafseer: We start the Tafseer of the Quran with the Quran itself.
7. Many Ayat talk about the fate of the Jews and Christians*, for example: Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the mushrikeen will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures. -Quran 98:6 So now, which understanding Is correct? *For more on this subject see Sh.
