AND VERILY, THIS IS MY STRAIGHT PATH, SO FOLLOW IT. By Shaykh Aḥmad Bin Yaḥyā An-Najmī Verily, I was requested to give a statement about the ʿAqīdah of the Victorious Group, whom the Prophet (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) spoke about: لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَائِمَة بِأَمْرِ اللهِ ؛ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ ، أَوْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللهِ ، وَ هُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ “There will not cease to be a group from my nation being established upon the Command of Allāh, they are not harmed by those who forsake them, nor those who oppose them until the Command of Allāh comes, while they are triumphant over the people.” [Reported by Muslim, Al-Bukhārī with what is similar to it] In another narration: لَا تَزَالُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى أَمْرِ اللهِ ، قَاهِرِينَ لِعَدُوِهِمْ ، لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ وَ هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ “There will not cease to be a group from my nation, fighting upon the Command of Allāh, triumphant over their enemies, they are not harmed by whoever opposes them, until the Hour comes to them, while they are upon that.” [Reported by Muslim] I preferred to write what Allāh made easy, because, a statement that is written remains and the benefit from it continues through the passing of time. I hope that Allāh will bring benefit by way of that.
