Why We Should Follow the Understanding of the Salaf
" The words of the Salaf are the scale for accepting and rejecting the words of the khalaf (latecomer), and NOT the other way around.The manhaj of the Salaf is a manhaj of FOLLOWING and SUBMISSION.
This Religion has been completed in the lifetime of the Messenger and Allāh chose and praised the first generations for preserving and conveying the risālah of Rasûlullah to the rest of us.
We will never reach their level, we will never achieve their knowledge and we will never attain their merits.
The Sahābah have surpassed the rest of this Ummah by a length no-one will ever be able to catch up!
So we must know our place in this Religion as followers of the religion they conveyed to us, and not consider ourselves those who are reviewing what they brought in order to decide whether or not it is acceptable.
Far far away is this from the way of the Salaf.
One of the biggest reasons of misguidance today is letting the words of the khalaf be the scale for the acceptance of the words of the Salaf."
