quote:
...Can we say to the new Muslim, "You are not required to follow this manhaj"?
No! Rather we say, "Your Islaam will never be true, sound Islaam, free of innovations and mistakes, unless you follow this manhaj, unless you follow what the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) and his Companions were upon...!"
- Shaykh Muhammad 'Umar Baazmool
