Bismillah Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulillah
Peace be upon him who follows the guidance.
Deviant Sects you should Beware Of
Whoever amongst you lives after me will see much discord. So hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Khulafaa (caliphs) after me. Adhere to them and cling to them by your molar teeth, and beware of newly invented matters (in the Religion) for every bidah is a dalaalah (deviation, misguidance, heresy). [1]
History and Experience have proven that those who have adopted a way of using their own intellect instead of the pure way of following the Quraan and Sunnah through the understanding of the As-Salaf as-Saalih (The Pious Predecessors) have deviated. And not only did they misguide themselves but they became the cause of aba t of many others and after blackening their records of deeds they departed from this world.
So how can one identify the innovators and their innovations? Do we all have to be scholars? The answer is NO, as the answer is quite clear:
Whoever introduces in this Shareeah of ours what is not from it [in another narration: in it], then it is rejected. [2]
So take heed and beware O Muslim brother and Muslim sister!
These are brief descriptions of some of the most common innovated, deviated groups:
1) The Mushabbihah (or Mujassimah) :
A mushabbihah is one who performs tashbeeh: Those who declare that Allaah is like His creation and that the Attributes of Allaah are like the attributes of the creation. They are referred to as Anthropomorphists in English.
2) The Jahmiyyah :
A Jahmee is one who denies Allaahs attributes. This is Kufr. The correct belief with regard to the attributes of Allaah is the belief of As-Salaaf as-Saalih of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaaah. That is: We have faith in all of Allaahs attributes and we affirm both the textual wording (in the Quraan & Hadeeth) and we affirm the meanings:
- Without Tateel i.e. denying them or their meanings
- Without Tahreef i.e. interpreting them and changing their meanings
- Without Taweel i.e. distortive interpretation
- Without Takyeef i.e. explaining how they are
- Without Tamtheel i.e. likening them to those of the creation (Like the Mushabbihah)
They (the jahmiyyah) also declare that the Quraan is created.
The correct belief is that the Quraan is NOT created; it is the speech of Allaah.
3) The Naasibee :
One who has hatred towards Alee (radhiyaAllaahu anhu) and the family of the Prophet (sallaAllaahu alayhi wasallam).
4) The Raafidees :
Extreme sheeah, who call themselves ithnaa ashariyyah (The Twelvers) or Jafarees. They have deviated into Kufr in so many ways:
- They claim the Quraan is incomplete.
- They hold that their Imaams have a higher status than all humans even the prophets.
- They curse the companions and the wives of the Prophet (sallaAllaahu alayhi wasallam); except 6-7 companions.
-They declare their Imams are God. [As found in their book (Jila-ul-Ayoun, Vol. 2, Page No. 85]
- They ally with the Disbelievers, Hypocrites, Jews, Christians, the Pagans, and the various factions of the Malaahidah (Disbelieving Heretics) such as the Nusayriyyah, the Ismaaeeliyyah and others from astray ones
- They say, Our religion is taqiyyah (deception)!! And this is that one of them says with his tongue what is other than what is in his heart, This is lying and hypocrisy
5) The Khawaarij :
-Those who show disobedience [rebel and fight] against the Muslim rulers.
-They make takfeer (render someone a kaafir) of anyone who commits a major sin; and claim that he will forever abide in the Fire of Hell.
- They are known for Making permissible the blood of the Muslims.
This is the manhaj of the Khawaarij, and even if a person believed it in his heart and did not speak (with any of it) or did not act out any of it, he would still become a Khaarijee in his belief and opinion, which he did not express openly. *

6) The Mutazilah :
-They believe in Tateel (denying / negating Allaahs attributes). And they call this tawheed !!
-They also declare that the Quraan is created.
-They also share the beliefs of the khawaarij in : Rebellion and fighting against the Muslim rulers and hold it to be correct.
-They hold that the Muslims guilty of major sins are in a position between belief and disbelief and that they are destined to be in hell forever. They deny the punishment of the grave , and the descending of Isa ibn Maryam [to come and kill the dajjal]
7) The Jabariyyah (or Mujbirah) :
The Jabariyyah hold that people have no free will, and are not responsible for their actions, rather they are forced!
8) The Qadariyyah :
They deny Allaahs Pre-Decree (Qadar) ; and believe that man creates his own actions that are outside the Will and Power of Allaah !
9) The Ashariyyah :
-They perform manipulative distortion /interpretation (Taweel) of the attributes of Allaah . e.g. : the interpretation that the attribute of the Face of Allaah refers to His Essence (Dhaat) or concerning Allaahs Istiwaa (rising and being above His creation) to mean His power.
- They try to prove (proclaim) that the Attributes of Allaah have another inner meaning other than what is apparent from their meaning
-They do not allow/believe in Aahaad narrations to be used in matters of Aqeedah(belief)
- They negate all of the Attributes of Allaah except seven, which they say can be proven by intellect.!
10) The Murjiah :
The Murjiah are a sect who uphold the belief of Irjaa i.e. to hold that sins major or minor, do not affect Eemaan (faith) , and that Eemaan (faith) neither increases nor decreases. They claim that actions are not part of faith, that people do not vary in faith, that faith does not increase or decrease and that one should declare himself a Believer without saying, InshaAllaah [If Allaah wills].
The Murjiah are divided into four groups :
(i) Those who say that Eemaan (faith) is merely knowledge (marifah), even if this is not accompanied by testification (tasdeeq).
This is the statement of the Jahmiyyah.
(ii) Those who claim that Eemaan (faith) is a testification / condition of the heart only.
This is the statement of the Ashaairah (the Asharees).
(iii) Those who claim that Eemaan (faith) is merely verbal affirmation even if the person does not truly believe in his heart.
This is the statement of the Karaamiyyah.
(iv) Those who claim / say that eemaan is belief (itiqaad) in the heart and statement upon the tongue, but action does not enter into it. [ they are the lightest of the groups in terms of irjaa ]
This is the statement of the Murjiah al-Fuqahaa and this is a statement that is also incorrect since there is no eemaan without action.
The correct understanding/belief is: Eemaan (faith) is belief of the heart, statement/testification of the tongue, and action of the limbs. It increases with obedience to Allaah, and decreases with disobedience/sinning. *

11) The Sufees :
They have many offshoots e.g. deobandis , naqshbandees ,teejaneeyah , numerous tareeqahs (groups) . Some of their deviant/corrupt ideologies:
- the belief that God dwells in human souls, or that the Deity is incarnate in humanity. [This is disbeleif]
- the idea that the texts of the Book and the Sunnah have an outer, apparent meaning and an inner, hidden meaning.
- the concept of Wahdatul-Wujood. (The unity of existence i.e. that the Creation and the Creator are inseparable)
- they believe their shaykhs are saints who have divine inspiration , thus going to the extreme of asking/supplicating to/through them
- they have innovated dhikr, introduced music into Islaam and have trances and chants which are held in darkness or sometimes while naked
12) Jamaaat-ut-Tableegh :
They have strong influences from the sufis and share the beliefs of kufr and bidah as shown in their main book; Fadhaail-ul-Amaal. Some of their beliefs are:
- They endorse and practice grave worship
- The Messenger of Allaah(sallaAllaahu alayhi wasallam) is Haadhir wa Naadhir i.e. he is present everywhere and helps his loved ones during times of distress.
- They believe in the obligation of giving bayah (pledge) to their shaykhs (mawlanas)
- They introduced new method of giving dawah (khurooj) : going out for 3 40 days .
13) The Ikhwaan-al-Muslimoon :
- They remain silent and concede to the people in their performance of major Shirk, supplication to other than Allaah, performance of tawwaaf around graves, making oaths to the dead in the graves, sacrificing in their names and so on.
- The founder of this methodology(Hasan al-Banna) was a Sufi. He had a connection with Sufism to the point that he gave bayah (oath of allegiance) to Abdul-Wahhaab Al-Khusaafee upon (following) his Khusaafee Shadhilee (Sufi) order.
- The presence of innovations amongst them and their worshipping Allaah through them even to the point that the founder of this methodology acknowledged that the Prophet (sallaAllaahu alayhi wasallam) would attend their gatherings of dhikr and that he (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) would forgive what past sins they had committed !!
- They hate and despise the people of Tawheed and those who adhere to the Salafee Way.
-They are strongly into the beliefs of the khawaarij thus : they encourage suicide activities and killing of innocent people ; in the name of jihaad.
14) Hizb-ut-Tahreer :
-Originally a part of ikhwaan-ul muslimeen.
- They have the mutazilite belief of denying punishment of the grave.
-they reject that the Dajjaal will be brought forth.
-They call to work with sheeahs and other innovators.
- they call for establishment of the khilaafah and neglect the fundamentals i.e. establishing tawheed and the methodology of the Prophets.
15) The Suroorees :
- They attack the rulers and speak about them in a manner that results in evil, corruption and danger.
It appears that they declare the leaders to be disbelievers, but this can only be understood by way of their cir tances and actions and cannot be picked up from their words. This is since the path they take is the path of the Khawaarij or close to it, knowing that the religious texts state the obligation of hearing and obeying the rulers.
- They revile and accuse and attack the scholars who are upon the methodology of salafiyyah. *

16) The Qutubees :
Sayyid Qutb was not from the men of religious knowledge. His original status was that he was an author. Then he adopted the beliefs of the Asharees the belief of taweel (misinterpretation of Allaahs Attributes). He had the belief that the Quraan is created and has serious and vile errors, which the people of knowledge have refuted and exposed. But when they expose these errors, this results in the rage of the Qutubees befalling them by way of their criticizing, speaking ill and discrediting them.
17) Maturudiyyah :
-This is a philosophical (kalaam) group which is based on using rational and philosophical proof and evidence to establish the truths of religion and Islamic Aqeedah (belief).
It is obvious that this is contradictory to the methodology of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaaah, because the Quraan, Sunnah and consensus of the Sahaabah are the sources of guidance.
-their bidah (innovation) of dividing the sources of religion into rational matters vs. transmitted reports, which was based on the false notion of the philosophers who assumed that the religious texts contradict reason, so they tried to mediate between reason and the transmitted reports. This led them to force reason into fields where it has no place, so they came up with false rulings which contradicted shareeah, and that led them to say that they did not know what the texts mean and that only Allaah knows their meaning, or to misinterpret them altogether. In the view of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaaah, on the other hand, there is no contradiction between sound reason and the sound transmitted reports.
18) Braylwiyyah :
Deeply rooted in Sufi ideology and practices like :
- belief that the Messenger (sallaAllaahu alayhi wasallam) is alive
- offering salaah at the graves of their saints
- they gather after salaatul-jumuah reciting anasheed with the belief that the Messenger (sallaAllaahu alayhi wasallam) is present with them.
19) Takfeeris :
-This is a term used to define : Anyone who declares another Muslim to be a kaafir on account of any sin committed.
-They are those who declare the rulers and most scholars to be disbelievers.
-They encourage the common folk to revolutions and bloodshed against the Muslim rulers ; this is against the Shareeah.
O Sister BEWARE! O Brother BEWARE ! and REMEMBER :
Islam is complete and perfect ; with no need of innovations or subtractions nor modifications.
Our duty is to hear and obey. We need to learn and to stick to the Sunnah (with our molar teeth):
THIS IS SALVATION.
The Prophet sallaAllaahu alayhi wa sallam said:
Surely, I have left among you that which if you adhere to, you shall never go astray: the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of his Prophet, sallaAllaahu alayhi wa sallam. [And these two will not separate from each other until they come upon me at the Hawd (the Spring of Al-Kauthar.)] [3]
By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (sallaAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), my Ummah will be divided into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two will be in the Fire. It was said, O Messenger of Allaah, who are they? [in another narration: which is the saved sect?] He said, They are those who follow what I and my Companions are upon today.[4] *
