Overview

The fitnah of ghair muqallidiyyat (abandoning the following of a mazhab) is an extremely dangerous and overwhelming fitnah of contemporary times. Generally, simple-minded youngsters as well as unwary Muslims, who are uneducated of the basics of Deen, but have the desire for practice, fall prey to this fitnah. The picture painted by those who abandon following of mazhabs seems very attractive and appealing to the layman as he is invited towards following the Qur'aan and Hadith directly opposed to following an Imaam. Furthermore, a calculated effort is being made to cause the Ummah to abandon the safe path which the Ummah treaded upon for many centuries. As a result, doubts and suspicions are instilled regarding the great Imaams, the pious of the past and at times even regarding the illustrious Sahaabah (Radhiyallahu Anhum). It is the Islamic duty of every individual to search for the truth. During this search one will come across different sects and groups all inviting him under the banner of Islam to adopt their way. What should a person do at such a time? How should he differentiate haqq (truth) from baatil (falsehood)? In this regard, Rasulullah PBUH gave the Ummah some guidelines to follow in order to understand whether a group is on the right path or not. Nabi PBUH declared that the group that holds on firmly to his way and the way of the Sahaabah, are the rightly guided ones. All other groups are deviated from the truth of Islam. This book is for those who wish to reach the truth with regard to the topic of Taqleed, i.e. the need to follow an Imaam in order for one to be able to correctly practice on the Qur'aan and Sunnah. It also highlights the dangers that one will face in abandoning Taqleed of one of the four Imaams and adopting the path of the ghair muqallideen (those who do not follow an Imaam). Insha Allah, if this book is studied without prejudice, it will prove beneficial in creating the correct mindset and understanding of Deen within the reader.
