In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

“As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.” [Quran 6:159]

“For Allah; He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship ye Him: this is a Straight Way. But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to the wrongdoers from the Penalty of a Grievous Day!” [Quran 43:64-65 ]

Praise be to Allah, from Whom we seek help and pardon, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls. He whom Allah guide has no one who can lead him astray, and he whom He leads astray has no one to guide him. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (saw) is His servant and apostle. He sent him before the coming of the last hour with truth giving good tidings and warning. He who obeys Allah and His Apostle follows the right path; and he who disobeys them shall harm none except himself, and he will not harm Allah in the least. O Allah, shower your peace and blessings upon our master, Muhammad (saw), who fulfilled the role of Apostle eminently, delivered to mankind what was Divinely entrusted to him, who strove for the welfare of his people, who dispelled their pain and suffering, who rescued them from the darkness and who struggled hard in the way of Allah, and who devotedly served his Lord to his utmost conviction, and on his progeny and his companions. The best speech is that embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance given by Prophet Muhammad (saw).

Sayyidina Al-Irbad (rad) said: One day the Apostle of Allah (saw) led us in prayer, then faced us and gave us a lengthy exhortation at which the eyes shed tears and the hearts were afraid. A man said: Apostle of Allah! It seems as if it were a farewell exhortation, so what injunction do you give us? He then said: I enjoin you to fear Allah, and to hear and obey even if it be an Abyssinian slave, for those of you who live after me will see great disagreement. You must then follow my sunnah and that of the rightly-guided caliphs. Hold to it and stick fast to it. Avoid novelties, for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error. [Narrated by Imam Abu Dawood]

Abu Shaamah (d. 665 AH) said, "The order to stick to the Jama'ah means sticking to the truth and its followers; even if those who stick to the truth are few and those who oppose it are many; since the truth is that which the first Jama'ah from the time of the Prophet (saw) and his Companions, radi-Allaahu anhum, were upon. No attention is given to the great number of the people of futility coming after them." [Al-Baa'ith ala al-Bid'ah wal-Huwaadith, page 19]

We see today that some people who associate themselves with Islam are trying their best to divide the Muslim Ummah. They are misguided and misguiding innocent Muslims with their deviant beliefs. They are propagating disinformation about the aqeedah (beliefs) of the Salaf us-Salih. They claim that scholars of Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jamaah (Salaf us-Salih) were anthropomorphists. Insha-Allah, we will refute the claims of Ahl al-Bidah wa Dalalah on this site.
