While Islamic material could legitimately be broken down
into many more categories, we've chosen to limit our presentation to these four,
partly for brevity and partly due to the answer given by Shaykh Muhammad
Ibn Sālih al-Uthaymīn
1,
when asked:
Question:
What are the most distinguishing characteristics
of the "saved group?" And is a deficiency in these characteristics sufficient
to expel a person from this "saved group?"
Answer:
The most distinguishing characteristic of the
"saved group" is holding fast to that which the Prophet
was upon
regarding 'Aqīdah, worship, manners, and social dealings – these four issues,
you find the "saved group" cleary distinguished in them.
