Answer to a question posed by the Facebook Knights, WHO ARE THE PRESENT DAY MUJAHID, based on wrong interpretation of a hadeeth.... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Who are the people of the victorious sect? Al-Bukhaari said: “They are the people of knowledge (the scholars).” Many scholars said that the victorious group is the scholars of hadeeth. Al-Nawawi said: “It is possible that this group is scattered among all types of believers. Some may be brave fighters, or fuqahaa’, or scholars of hadeeth, or ascetics, or people who enjoin good and forbid evil, and other types of good people.” Al-Nawawi also said: “It could be a group of different types of believers, including those who are brave and skilled in warfare, faqeehs, scholars of hadeeth, Qur’aanic commentators (mufassireen), those who enjoin good and forbid evil, ascetics and devoted worshippers.” Ibn Hajar, may Allaah have mercy on him, explained the matter as follows: “They do not have to all be in one city; they could be gathered in one country or dispersed across the world. They may be gathered in one city or in a part of it. It is possible that one group may exist, then disappear, then be replaced by another group, and so on, until the Day of Judgement, when all will disappear except for one group in one city, who will disappear when the breeze decreed by Allaah comes.” islamqa.info/en/206
