Asalamu alaikum.
I'm a revert of about two years. And I've been curious for a while. What is Salafism in relation to the four Sunni madhabs and other sects of our deen?
I'm genuinely confused by this.
JazakhAllahu kheyran.
Masalaama,
Daniel.

Q 2: What is the definition of 'Salafism'? What do you think of it?
A: Salafism is a term generally used to refer to the Salaf (righteous predecessors) of the first three generations of Muslims which include the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet), Tabi`un (Followers, the generation after the Companions of the Prophet) and Tabi` Al-Tabi`un (Successors, the generation after the Tabi`un). The Messenger of Allah attested to their righteousness when he said: The best of people are those of my generation, then those who follow them, and then those who follow the latter. After that there will come people whose witness will go ahead of their oaths, and their oaths will go ahead of their witness. Narrated by Al-Bukhari, Muslim and Imam Ahmad in his Musnad
The word 'Salafis' is the Arabic plural of 'Salafi' i.e. a description given to a person who follows the way of salaf mentioned above. It refers to the righteous predecessors who follow the example of the early Muslim generation in their adherence to the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet and calling people to act upon them. They are also known by the name of "Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah (those adhering to the Sunnah and the Muslim community)".
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and comapnions!
