The Najd Revival is a call back to the pure Islam of the Qur’an and Sunnah as understood by the Salaf as-Ṣāliḥ – not a new group or party. It presents Salafiyyah as the one saved path: a single Jamāʿah united upon clear evidence, sound ʿaqīdah, correct worship, and prophetic character, wherever they are in the world. True revival is a chain of knowledge, correct understanding, and righteous application – returning to Tawḥīd, Sunnah, humility, mercy, and justice.

At the same time, The Najd Revival warns against the internal hizbiyyah that has appeared among some who claim Salafiyyah: harshness, personality-based loyalties, refutation-obsession, and envy that divide Ahl al-Sunnah and damage the daʿwah. Drawing on the words of major Salafi scholars, it calls us back to following proofs over personalities, giving room for advice and tawbah, strengthening brotherhood, guarding the tongue, and rebuilding our communities on knowledge, worship, and prophetic manners – one Jamāʿah, one path, and one goal: worshipping Allah alone and following His Messenger ﷺ.

Islam places profound emphasis on the proper usage of the tongue. Words may be intangible, but their effects and consequences are far-reaching. A single careless word can sever kinship, sow discord, destroy years of trust, and invite sins that weigh heavily on the scales in front of Allah even before The Day of Judgment. Yet one sincere and righteous word, uttered purely for the sake of Allah, can uplift souls, heal wounded hearts, reconcile divided ties and brotherhood, spread authentic knowledge, understanding, wisdom, attain reward and mercy — and most importantly earn the eternal pleasure of the Most Merciful.

The Prophet ﷺ and the early righteous generations (as-salaf as-salih) regarded control of the tongue as one of the greatest signs of emaan (faith) and righteousness. Allah said: “Not a word does he utter except that with him is an observer ready (to record).

Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), upon him be peace, stands in Islamic tradition as a paragon (model) of tawhid (pure monotheism), sincerity, and in total and complete submission to Allah. Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) *fulfilled* all the commandments and trials placed upon him by Allah (God), and due to this unwavering faith he was made “a leader to all the nations of the world.” 

The Quran extols Ibrahim (peace be upon him) as “a model, an exemplar, obedient and not an idolater” in other words, an ideal example for all humanity. Islam even refers to itself as “the Religion of Abraham”, honoring him with the title Hanif (upright in true sincere faith and worship) and remembering him as Khalilullah, the intimate friend of Allah. Such praise in The Qur’an underscores that Ibrahim’s faith, character, and covenant with Allah are the gold standard against which any claim to Abrahamic legacy must be measured.

Islam is complete and perfect, leaving no room for religious innovation or personal desires. Allah said: “This day I have perfected for you your religion, completed My favor upon you, and have approved for you Islām as your religion.” 

The Prophet ﷺ likewise warned that “…and the worst of affairs are newly-invented matters; and every newly-invented matter is an innovation (bidʿah), and every innovation is misguidance.”

The perfection of Islām lies in its divine completeness — it admits neither addition nor subtraction. To assert that a new act of worship or belief was omitted from revelation is, knowingly or unknowingly, to imply that the Dīn was incomplete when Allah Himself declared it perfected, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had fulfilled and completed His Lord’s message and mission.
