وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُهَٰجِرِينَ وَٱلْأَنصَارِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَٰنٍ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى تَحْتَهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
“And the first forerunners (in the faith) among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them exactly (in faith) – Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.”
Welcome to Salafi Gambia,
Salafi Gambia is dedicated to propagating the Orthodox Islamic beliefs in The Gambia.
Our aim is to learn, act upon and call to Orthodox Islam, the Religion of The Prophet Muhammad, may Allāh extol him in the highest company of the Angels and grant him peace, the way that he and his companions believed and acted.
We declare ourselves free from any innovated belief or practice and those who call others to that.
Allāh, The Blessed and Most High, said,
ٱلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمَ دِينًا
“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.”
The Qur’an 5:3
Our Call
We believe and act as Allāh said, The Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, explained and how the Sahabah understood.
Allāh, The Most High, has said,
وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُهَٰجِرِينَ وَٱلْأَنصَارِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَٰنٍ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى تَحْتَهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
“And the first forerunners (in the faith) among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them exactly (in faith) – Allāh is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.”
The Qur’an 9:100
And The Prophet, may Allāh extol him in the highest company of the Angels and grant him peace, said,
“Whoever does an action that is not from our affair will have it rejected.”
Authenticated by Muslim
The first thing that we call all the people towards, is the same thing that all the Prophets and Messengers called to, and it is the worship of Allāh, The Most High, alone and the forsaking of all the false objects of worship.
Allāh, The Most High, has said,
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُ فَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
“And verily, We have sent among every nation a Messenger (proclaiming): ‘Worship Allāh (Alone), and avoid the false deities.’ Then of them were some whom Allāh guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified. So travel through the land and see what was the end of those who denied (the truth).”
The Qur’an 16:36
This means the worship of Allāh, The Perfect, alone and the abandoning of all false objects of worship, whatever they may be.
