 Revival of the Muslim Ummah is by Tasfiyah and Tarbiyah
From Fiqhul-Waaqi', pp. 49-51
Therefore, the key to a return of the glory of Islaam is:
Implementation of beneficial knowledge and establishing righteous and correct
actions, and this is a very great affair with the Muslims cannot reach, except
through the methodology (manhaj) of tasfiyah (purification and correction) and
tarbiyah (education and cultivation). These being two very great obligations. By
the first of these (i.e. tasfiyah), the following is intended:
1.. Purifying the Islamic Aqeedah from that which is alien to it, such as shirk,
ta'teel, ta`weel, refusing authentic ahaadeeth, because they are connected to
matters of 'aqeedah, and their like.
2.. Purifying the Islamic fiqh from erroneous judgements which are contrary to
the Qur`aan and the Sunnah, freeing the minds from the fetters of
blind-following and the darkness of sectarianism and party spirit.
3. Purifying the books of tafseer, fiqh and raqaa'iq (matters concerning the
heart) and other than that from ahadeeth that are weak and fabricated, or the
unsupported narrations from the people of the Book, and the reprehensible
narrations.
As regards the second obligation (i.e. tarbiyah), then by it I mean: cultivating
the young generation upon this Islaam, purified from all that we have mentioned,
giving to them a correct Islamic education from the start - without any
influence from the disbelieving western education. There is no doubt that
bringing these two obligations about requires huge efforts and sincere
cooperation between all Muslims, individuals and groups, from all those who are
truly concerned with establishing the desired Islamic society, each one working
in his own field and specialty."
