Our Call and Mission
At Masjīd Abi al-Dardā’, we are dedicated to upholding the true and authentic teachings of Islam, guided by the Quran, the Sunnah, and the understanding of the righteous predecessors (Salaf). Inspired by the principles outlined in "This is Our Call" by Al-’Allaamah Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee (d.1421H), we adhere to the following key values:
Core Principles of Our Mission
Commitment to the Quran and Sunnah
We emphasize the importance of following the divine guidance of the Quran and the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in every aspect of our worship, beliefs, and daily lives. This adherence to divine revelation is the cornerstone of our call.
Following the Path of the Salaf
We base our practices and understanding on the teachings of the righteous predecessors, who best exemplified the pure teachings of Islam. By emulating the early generations, we strive to maintain the purity and integrity of our faith.
Rejection of Innovations (Bid'ah)
We firmly reject any innovations in religion, whether in beliefs or acts of worship. Innovations distort the original teachings of Islam and lead to misguidance. Our call advocates for a faith free from any additions that deviate from the core teachings of Islam.
Unity Through Truth
Our mission is to unify hearts on the guidance of the Quran and Sunnah, avoiding divisions and extremism by adhering to the truth. We aim to foster a sense of brotherhood and solidarity among Muslims, based on shared authentic principles.
Knowledge-Based Worship
Worship in Islam must be based on sound knowledge. We emphasize the importance of learning the fundamentals of the religion, understanding its principles with clarity and sincerity, and ensuring that our worship is performed correctly.
Clearing Misconceptions About Islam
We strive to address misunderstandings about Islam, refuting false claims and presenting the religion as it was revealed by Allah. Through education and dialogue, we aim to correct misconceptions and promote a true understanding of Islam.
Emphasis on Tawheed (Monotheism)
The foundation of our mission is the worship of Allah alone, without associating any partners with Him. We reject all forms of shirk (polytheism), whether major or minor, and call to the pure monotheism that was practiced by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
Belief in Allah's Names and Attributes
We believe in Allah and His Names and Attributes as mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), without any distortion (tahreef), figurative interpretation (ta‘weel), making likenesses (tamtheel), resemblance (tashbeeh), or denial (ta’teel). This belief is central to understanding and worshipping Allah correctly.
Warning Against Shirk
We emphasize the grave danger of shirk (associating partners with Allah) in all its forms. Shirk is the greatest sin and leads to misguidance and destruction. We diligently warn against any practices or beliefs that compromise the oneness of Allah, as preserving Tawheed is essential for salvation.
Promoting Ethical Conduct and Morality
Alongside religious obligations, we emphasize strong ethics, kindness, and justice in interactions with others. Good character is an essential part of our faith, and we strive to embody the moral and ethical teachings of Islam in our daily lives.
