Principles of the Salafī Methodology
The Prophet ﷺ promised that a group following the truth will always exist until the Hour. Therefore, the claim that no saved sect exists today is false.

Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi’i explains that when both praise and criticism exist, detailed criticism takes precedence if it comes from reliable scholars. However, if the critic is weak, biased, or has a hidden agenda, their criticism is not accepted. Context and credibility must be checked.
