What's SUNNATH JAMATH'

Recognising a Sunni Muslim?
:
Question: I have recently been converted to Islam. I am a bit confused as to the different groups of Islam. I have been converted in England as a Sunni.I understand Sunni but since being here I see that there are so many different groups and I am not sure how to go about finding a jamaat that is Sunni. Please can you shed some light on this and maybe help me in learning more about Islam. My family are all Hindus and Christians so I cannot seek their advice.
Answer: You would find many people and groups claiming to be Sunni and also saying that they are from the ahlus sunnah, but their actions are far away from the teachings of the Prophet (s.a.s). The way to recognise anyone is through their actions. Upon this, you will be able to know who are the true followers of the Prophet (s.a.s) and who arenot. In some jamaats, although the Muslims know themselves to be Sunni Muslims, due to the lack of knowledge and also their unwillingness to change, you will find that they are practicing certain things which amount to innovations. There are others who really do not pay attention todeviant groups and their teachings, they simply know that they are Muslims and they leave it as that. In many cases, there are those who simply follow what they have seen and learnt from others, thinking it to be the correct thing, although they are wrong. In this way, you will find many Muslims doing different things, yet, thinking to themselvesthat they are correct.
My advice to you is that you try to learn as much as possible from authentic scholars about Islam. The Darul Uloom in Trinidad conducts many classes, you can attend any of these classes. As for the different Masjids, I know that in our areas like Munroe Road and Warenville Jama Masjid in Cunupia, the teachings are in accordance to the creed of the ahlus sunnah, you are welcome tothese Masjids/
And Allah knows best.::-> Be patient. Allah has a plan for you!
