Fundamentals of invoking the path of righteous predecessors

Sheikh al-Albani (رَحِمَهُ الله) said: “The foundations of calling the path of righteous predecessors rest on three pillars: (1) the noble Qur’an, (2) the authentic Sunnah, (3) understanding these two pillars in accordance with the understanding of the righteous predecessors (al-salaf al-salih) from among the Companions, their followers and those who follow them.

 And the reason for the delusion of all currents, whether new or old, is that they do not hold on to the third pillar! “
