We praise and thank Allāh (عز وجل) for providing us with scholars of the calibre of Shaykh Rabīʿ bin Hādī, Shaykh Aḥmad al-Najmī, Shaykh ʿUbayd al-Jābirī, Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalī (رحمهم الله) and others, all of whom authored tremendous works in methodology and have important statements and clarifications which are concise and full of important principles. With this important contribution, they have provided Ahl al-Sunnah a solid criterion to judge the words and deeds of those who claim attachment to the Salafī methodology. This knowledge of the scholars does not die with them but remains for the ummah and provides them with milestones of truth along the path for all those who come after them.
