1. We worship Allah by way of Tawheed. So we do not supplicate to anyone besides Allah nor do we seek refuge in anyone besides Him in matters of bringing about good or repelling some harm. We call to Tawheed first and we clarify that there is no Islam without Tawheed and that whoever calls unto other than Allah has committed disbelief.

2. Our Creed is established upon the principle that "Allah is described with what He has described himself with in His Book and upon the tongue of His Messenger (sallAllaahu ?alayhi wa sallam), without resorting to tahreef, tamtheel, tashbeeh, ta'teel or ta'weel."

3. We affirm for Allah the best of Names, which He has affirmed for Himself and which He has praised Himself with, whether they are mentioned in the Qur'aan or the Sunnah.

4. We believe that there is no path towards achieving Allah's contentment, or a way towards Paradise, except through the Way of Allah's Messenger (sallAllaahu ?alayhi wa sallam). And whoever seeks a way towards gaining Allah's contentment through other than the Way of Allaah's Messenger, then he has gone astray and been blinded from the truth. And he has lost in this world and the next.

5. We believe that the Legislation of Allah is what has been brought down through the two revelations: The Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallAllaahu ?alayhi wa sallam). This is what our Lord has indicated in his saying: "Then we placed you on a Sharee'ah (Legislated System) based on Our Command, so follow it, and do not follow the desires of those who have no knowledge." [Surah Al-Jaathiyah: 18]

6. We believe that the Qur'aan is the Speech of Allah, which was revealed and not created, and that the Sunnah is what explains and clarifies it. The Qur'aan is interpreted by the Sunnah and by the interpretations of the Sahaabah (Companions) and those who followed them in goodness. So the interpretation of the Qur'aan is by way of the narration, meaning by way of the Sahaabah, the Taabi'een and the Ahaadeeth concerning it.

7. We are obligated to take the Sunnah according to the way of the Muhadditheen - in terms of their authenticity or weakness. So we take what is found to be authentic and leave off what is weak.

8. We are obligated to worship Allah through the Sunnah, by following it and by implementing it. This is based on the Prophet's saying: "Whoever does a deed, which is not in accordance to our affair (i.e. the Sunnah) is rejected." And in another narration: "Whoever introduces into our affair (Sunnah) that which isn't part of it is rejected."

This is a summary and some brief words on our da'wah. And may the peace and blessings of Allah be on Muhammad - the best, most dutiful, most pious and purest of creation - and on his family and his Companions.
