What are the differences between us and Salafis?

Question

What are the differences between us and Salafis?

Answer

Salafis are deviates. They have deviated from the Path of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah which consists today of the followers of the Four Math-habs. Salafis reject the four Math-habs of the Ahlus Sunnah. The fundamental difference between Salafis and us is that they submit the Qur'aan and Hadith to the opinion of Ibn Taimiyyah who appeared on the scene 600 years after Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) while we do not interpret the Qur'aan and Sunnah. We follow the interpretation of the Sahaabah whose Students were the Aimmah-e-Mujtahideen.

There are numerous differences in Fiqhi Masaa-il and in Aqeedah between Salafis and the Ahlus Sunnah. They are on the path of deviation. A letter cannot deal with such a vast subject. We have written some books on this issue.
