The course book is designed to help you, as a Muslim, identify the correct ‎sources, principles, and beliefs of the evidenced ‎methodology of Islaam upon scholarship and proofs, in order to be able to distinguished what opposes them.‎

‎
‎
It has been narrated in the two ‘Saheeh’ collections of al-Bukhaaree and Muslim that the Prophet, may ‎Allaah’s praise ‎and His salutations be upon him, said, ‎
‎
‎
‎ {The one whom Allaah intends good for He gives him understanding of his religion.}. ‎
‎‎
‎
As Muslims, each of us wants to have a good understanding so that we can ‎properly practice Islaam, as best as we are ‎able.‎ However, one challenge is the presence of different voices, claims, and calls, ‎all with different ideas, practices, ‎and opposing priorities, yet all saying ‎‎[This is Islaam!] One of the scholars of ‎the early centuries, who stood firm upon the guidance of the Sunnah ‎was Imam as-‎Sizjee. He advised us that,‎
‎ ‎‎
‎
‎”It is upon every Muslim who wants to be saved from misguidance, that they ‎do not turn and rely upon each and ‎every individual, nor depend and trust every ‎book available, and that they do not give controlling influence over his ‎affairs ‎except for the one who clearly stands upon guidance….”* ‎
‎
‎
Speaking about how we can learn to test the correctness of the person who makes claims that something is truly part ‎of this religion, he, may Allaah have mercy upon ‎him said,‎
‎
‎
‎”The one who seek safety and deliverance from the harm of these people, and to ‎be protected from following ‎deceptive desires as a Muslim, then his scale and ‎measure must be the Book of Allaah, and the transmitted reports of ‎the Sunnah, ‎applied to every single matter he hears about or sees. If he has knowledge of ‎these two sources they he ‎must weigh matters against the guidance of both of ‎them, and how it was followed by the first three generations.‎
He should not accept from anyone, any statement, without first requesting from ‎that person the support which clearly establishes its soundness and correctness ‎in Islaam, in the form of a clear verse ‎of the Qur’aan, or a narration of a verified ‎matter from the Sunnah, or to the statement of one of the Companions ‎authentically ‎transmitted.” ‎
