In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
'Aouf ibn Maalik (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said,"The Jews divided into 71 sects: one is in Paradise and 70 are in the Hellfire. The Christians divided into 72 sects: one is in Paradise and 71 are in the Hellfire. And by the One Who has my soul in His Hand, this nation of mine will be divided into 73 sects: one is in Paradise and 72 are in the Hellfire." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who do you see they (i.e., the members of the saved group) are?" He said, "Al-Jamaa'ah (those who are upon the way of the Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) and his Companions)." (Ibn Maajah)
::So, let's beware of secularism. There's no need to put ourselves in separate categories when we are supposed to be one Muslim Ummah. It's a shame that we see so many right now.::
Allah Knows Better.
