Ahl ul Sunnah are Remembered
Translated
By
Abbas Abu Yahya
Shaykh ul Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah said:
Ahl ul Sunnah die but their remembrance is revived.
Ahl ul Bida die and their remembrance dies.
This is because Ahl ul Sunnah revive that which the Messenger brought, so they have a share of the saying of Allaah:
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَك
<<And raised high your fame? >>
[Inshirah: 4]
Ahl ul Bida rejected what the Messenger came with, so they had a share in:
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ
<< For he who makes you angry (O Muhammad) – he will be cut off (from every good thing in this world and in the Hereafter). >> [al-Kawthar: 3]
[Majmoo al-Fatawa 16/528]
قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله :
🔹أهل السنة يموتون ويحيا ذكرهم
🔸وأهل البدعة يموتون ويموت ذكرهم
لأنَّ أهل السنة أحيوا ما جاء به الرسول
فكان لهم نصيب من قوله: {وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَك ﴿٤﴾} [الشرح4] وأهل البدعة شنؤوا ما جاء به الرسول، فكان لهم نصيب من :
{إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ ﴿٣﴾} [الكوثر3]
