Why is salafism the very best, the very purest, form of Islam?

Question

I've seen their clothes and appearance which seems very pure and unchanged over time, but this is only external. What else is there?

Answer 1

I though Islam was perfectly written?

If that's true then how can there be different denominations of it, somethings not right here.

{Psst} Find a new religion.

Answer 2

In the well known hadeeth, Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam explains that the best Muslims were those of this generation, and then the one after them, and then the one after them.  These three are referred to as the "Salaf us-Saalih" or the righteous predecessors.

Ascribing to the Sunnah is the same as ascribing to the Salaf, it essentially means the same thing, one leads to another.

Imaam al-Asbahaanee (d.535H) - rahimahullaah - said: "The sign of Ahlus-Sunnah is that they follow the Salafus-Saalih and abandon all that is innovated and newly introduced into the Deen." [Al-Hujjah fee Bayaanil Mahajjah 1/364]

Abu Haneefah (d. 150H) (rahimahullaah) said: "Adhere to the athar (narration) and the tareeqah (way) of the Salaf (Pious Predecessors) and beware of newly invented matters for all of it is innovation" [Reported by As-Suyootee in Sawn al Mantaq wal-Kalaam p.32]

lbn Taymiyyah (d.728H) - rahimahullaah - said: "There is no criticism for the one who proclaims the way (madhdhab) of the Salaf, who attaches himself to it and refers to it. Rather, it is obligatory to accept that from him by unanimous agreement (Ittifaaq) because the way (madhdhab) of the Salaf is nothing but the Truth (Haqq)." [Majmoo al-Fataawaa 4:149]

Imaam adh-Dhahabee (d.748H) - rahimahullaah - said: "It is authentically related from ad-Daaraqutnee that he said: There is nothing more despised by me than 'ilmul-kalaam (innovated speech and rhetorics). I say: He never entered into 'ilmul-kalaam, nor argumentation. Rather, was a Salafee (a follower of the Salaf)."[Siyar 16/457]

As-Sam'aanee (d.562H) said in al-lnsaab (3/273): "As-Salafi: this is an ascription to the Salaf and following their ways, in that which is related from them." lbn al-Atheer (d.630H) said in al-Lubaab fee Tahdheebul-lnsaab (2/162), commenting upon the previous saying of as-Sam'aanee: "And a group were known by this ascription." So the meaning is: that the term Salafi, and its ascription to them, was a matter known in the time of Imaam as-Sam'aanee, or before him.  

Answer 3

Because they say so with the tip of their swords, in ways some blasphemous and wayward Christians did centuries ago.

Many scholars would argue that mystical sects of Islam, like Sufism, are a purer form of a religious lifestyle.

Practioners of salafism who advocate violence, and the oppression of free will and access to modern education are the antithesis of pure religious devotionals, and are often found in groups and organizations that are condemned as terrorists by the international community of nations, and many other humanitarian NGOs.  

Answer 4

because it was created by England.  :)

Answer 5

because the purest form of islam has the greatest number of nutcases

Answer 6

They are a created sect, a biddah to Islam. Their faulty beliefs go against the Quran and Sunnah but they make it look like they are the true followers when they are not. They will talk so much about Quran and Sunnah but they hide their foul beliefs. They are a deviant sect.
