Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
My dear brother in Islam,
You must be very careful of these people. These people have been referred to as the sheep in the wolves clothing. They will take your Imaan, love and reverence for the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon Him), and tear it to shreds.
They will first be so nice and polite to you, that you will regardlessly think that there is no other such nicer person in the world that god has sent down. Yet they may not even be a Sunni 'Alim.
They may claim to be a Sunni, and will be hiding behind such a name for their own personal gain/for the gain of their organisation, in terms of expansion.
They may simply be a propagator of their own sect, selected specifically for soft targets like yourself and others. In order to gain the potential that they need for their achievements. There achievements will then be taken back to their leader in victory of what they have caught, yet in the name of Islam, they will be of those whom the beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon Him) has forewarned the whole ummah about.
Have you not heard the ahaadith-e-mubarikah of Our Master the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon Him), who clearly stated :
"Without doubt my Ummah will never be gathered in misguidance. Whenever you see disagreement, then hold fast to the Sawaad-e-A'zam" (ibn-e-Maajah).
This clearly means that the Ummah of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon Him), will never oppose the gatherings of the great awliya'-Allah, will never denounce the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon Him) in their books, and then reprint them cutting out the denunciations once noticed by the great Scholars, in order to save face, will never presume that there may be the possibility of another Messenger, will never tear down the signs of Allah the Almighty, in the forms of shrines and birth places, will never deny the god-given powers to their prophets and Messengers, to the as'haab, and their followers, to the Imams and asfiyaa', to the awliya', and the atqiya', to the nujaba', and sulahaa'.
My brother in Islam, these are only some of the very many things that they oppose, and the only way to battle this, is by either staying completly away from them by not evening listening to them, or, by equipping yourself with the necessary knowledge of Islam. This may include the learning of ahaadith which the Beloved Messenger of Allah (peace be upon Him) has told us about. Their circumstances of appearance, their reasoning and authenticity, their narrators and relators.
My brother, the world can become full of ignorance, once you start slackening. Once you stay focused on what your deen is, then by Allah you will hold firm to it, just as when you start a relay, there is no stopping until you reach the finishing line. This is what is meant by keeping hold of. This is what is meant by steadfast, this is what is meant by being firm...
You should study the six books of hadith, and learn the aayahs of the Qur'an which relate to the excellence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon Him). You should learn the Duruds and the Du'as, which send numerous bounties and endless blessings upon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon Him), and most of all you should listen to the command of your parents whom Allah no doubt from one time or another, did show the right path.
My brother in Islam! If what i have told you about has made you understand, then please take this on board. If it has made you feel fearful, then this is Allah the Almighty watching you, and if you already feel that you have what has been presented to you, then you may still refer back to me and i shall confer with you.
May Allah the Almighty keep us all firm upon the one religion of Islam, by its consecutive blessings that have been bestowed on us.Wallahu a'lamu bith thawab
