Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) said:
"Everyone who opposes the Jamaa'ah of Ahlus-Sunnah, then he is astray. There is no jamaa'ah according to us, except one: it is Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah [the Taa`ifatul-Mansoorah (the Victorious Group), the Firqatun-Naajiyah (Saved-Sect), Ahlul-Hadeeth, Ahlul-'Ilm (people of knowledge)]. Whatever opposes this Jamaa'ah, then it is in opposition to the manhaj of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam). We also say, everyone who opposes Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, then he is from the people of desires. And elements of opposition vary in ruling of them being misguided or outside of Islaam with relation to how large, small, far or near they are from the truth."

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (Radi Allahu Anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (SalAllahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:
“You must be truthful. Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with Allah as truthful. And beware of falsehood. Verily, falsehood leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. A man continues tell lies and encourages falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar.”

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
The Messenger (ﷺ) said: Indeed, Allaah [The Most High] has removed from you the pride of the pre-Islamic period and its boasting about ancestors. One is only a pious believer or a wretched sinner. You are sons of Adam and Adam (was created from) dust. Let the people abandon boasting about their ancestors, for they are merely fuel in Jahannam; or they will become more insignificant in (the sight of) Allah than the beetle which rolls dung with its nose.

Ridiculing is from the manners of the hypocrites
The Mufti Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez said:
Ridiculing is from the manners of the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Allaah the Exalted said:
"Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed. And whenever they passed by them, they used to wink one to another (in mockery); and when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting; and when they saw them, they said: Verily! These have indeed gone astray!"
(Soorah Al-Mutaffifīn 83:29-32)
Allaah the Exalted explained in the first part of the Soorah the recompense of the criminals, and the reward of the believers; then He clarified that the criminals ridicule the believers, laugh at them with words of contempt and disrespect. “And whenever they passed by them, they used to wink one to another (in mockery).”All of this is due to the hatred in their hearts.
And Allaah the Exalted said:
"But you took them for a laughingstock, so much so that they made you forget My remembrance while you used to laugh at them! Verily! I have rewarded them this Day for their patience; they are indeed the ones that are successful."
(Soorah Al-Mu'minūn 23:110-111)
Thus the disbelievers and people of misguidance ridicule the people of rectification and the Imams of guidance, such that their ridicule distracted them from the remembrance of Allah and pondering what will benefit them. Rather they busy themselves with ridicule, mockery, contempt, and disdain for the slaves of Allaah. And Allaah explained that it is from the characteristics of the hypocrites to ridicule the believers.
Allaah the Exalted said:
"If you ask them (about this), they declare: “We were only talking idly and joking.” Say: “Was it at Allah, and His Aayat and His Messenger that you were mocking?" "

A Treatment for Egotism
It is reported that Imâm Al-Shâfi’î – Allâh have mercy on him – said:
If you fear becoming deluded and impressed by your deeds then remember whose pleasure you are seeking, and the joy (Paradise) in which you want to be, and what punishment you fear. Whoever thinks about these things will diminish his deeds.

Me, Myself and I – Imam Ibn Al Qayyim (rahimahullaah)
Shaykh ul –Islaam Ibn Al Qayyim as-Salafi -Rahimullaah-
From his book ‘Za’ad al-Ma’aad’
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
‘Every Muslim should be warned of the oppression of: ‘I – My/Mine – I Possess’
Indeed these three words are what Iblees (Shaytan), Fir’awn and Qaroon were tried with.
Iblees said: ‘I am better than him’Fir’awn said: ‘Is not mine the Kingdom of Egypt,’Qaroon said: ‘This has been given to me only because of knowledge I possess.’
So regarding the saying of the Slave of Allaah ‘I’ – then the best that he can be described with is:
I am a slave who sins, makes mistakes, seeks forgiveness and recognizes this.
So regarding the saying of ‘My/Mine’ – and those statements similar to that is:
My sins, my crimes, my humbleness, my depravation and submissiveness.
So regarding the saying of ‘I Possess’:
Forgive me for my mistakes and what I do intentionally, in jest, or in seriousness and I possess all these shortcomings.

It is a severe strangeness towards Ahlu Sunnah, they fight us with all means, they fight us with the media which is heard, the media which is seen and the media which is written. It has reached the extent that even the families and friends are fighting this strange person who is holding onto the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger SalAllahu Alayhi Wasallam.
And regardless of all of that, we are happy with this strangeness, and are proud to be strange, because the Prophet of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him and his household) praised these strangers, he said:

Therefore, it is obligatory to reject these people. It is obligatory that they be rejected and they should not be given attention (i.e. listened to). This is so that they will return to with their Bid

—> The prohibition of going out with the Jamaa’ah at-Tableegh
Question: May Allaah treat you well, Oh noble Shaykh, the questioner asks: “Is it permissible to go out for a period of months, or weeks, or days, as is done by the Jamaa’ah at-Tableegh (Tableeghi Jamaa’ah)? Is this Sunnah or Bid
ah? And is it permissible to go out with this Jamaa’ah (group) if the person is learning (studying) Sharee’ah knowledge?
Response: This is not permissible. This is Bidah (innovation). This Khurooj (going out), which is for 40 days, or 4 months, or 4 days, or 40 days, or 4 months, this is Bidah. And this group is a Soofee Jamaa’ah, and it is confirmed that they are a Soofee Jamaa’ah from the Deobandees (a group of Soofees from India). They go from land to land in order to spread Sufism. It is not permissible for a person of the Sunnah and a person of Tawheed to go out with them. Because if he goes out with them, he is helping them in spreading their Bidah, and people will use him as an argument, and they will say, “so-and-so goes out with them.” Or they will say, “well, the people all go out with them.” Or they say, “well, they’re allowed in the country.”Therefore, it is obligatory to reject these people. It is obligatory that they be rejected and they should not be given attention (i.e. listened to). This is so that they will return to with their Bid
ah to their own country, and so they do not spread their Bidah amongst us. Also, it is not permissible to go out with them to teach them. This is incorrect. Then along with this, they do not accept being taught. They do not accept being taught, because they are people of deceit and people who have a program. They have come in order to teach you, they have not come so that they can learn something from you. They have come to teach you their Soofism and their Madhhab . They have not come to learn from you! If they wanted to learn then they would sit with the scholars (‘Ulamaa.) in the masaajid and read the books (of the Pious Predecessors). This is from the errors that it is not permissible to be decieved by. Yes.Shaykh Saalih ibn Fowzaan Audio :http://www.marabic.com/audio/other/oth013/0020331.htm
