"And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful."" {Surah Al Hashr: 10}
The Prophet SAW advised his Ummah to follow the ways of the pious predecessors and warned us not to innovate, this lecture is reminder of these things and aboout the ways in which the Salaf performed their actions and their unadulterated beliefs. At a time when modernisers are seeking to undermine the very bases of our religion and innovate in the way in which the texts are understood, this is a timely reminder of the ways of the best generations which we should seek to emulate.
