Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah

Q: I have recently seen some of the YouTube videos of Sheikh Imran Hosein from Trinidad. However, I have some doubts and reservations regarding some of the things which he has mentioned in his lectures on YouTube. 

I have also read some of his Islamic books and articles, and find that he is promoting certain beliefs which are in contrast to the beliefs that we have learnt in madrasah. Among the beliefs which he subscribes to and promotes are the following two beliefs: 

1. He claims that Nabi Isa (‘alaihis salaam) had been crucified, and thereafter, Allah Ta’ala gave him life. 

2. He claims that the manner in which a certain verse is recited today is incorrect and is not part of the actual Qur’aan that was revealed by Allah Ta’ala upon Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Rather, the people who came after Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) made a change to that word of the Qur’aan Majeed. He says that the verse “وَاِنّه لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعة” can only be read as وَاِنّه لَعَلَمٌ لِّلسَّاعة and it is incorrect to read it as وَاِنّه لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعة . 

Can Mufti Saheb please explain whether this person’s beliefs are acceptable or whether they go against the correct beliefs of Islam and will render one out of the fold of Islam for subscribing to them? 

I have also heard that Sheikh Imran Hosein is coming to South Africa soon. Will it be permissible for people to attend his lectures? 

Q: What takes a person out of the Ahlus sunnah wal jama'ah?

Q: I want to enquire regarding Ash'ari and Maturidi theology/beliefs. What do they entail and why do we (اهل السنة والجماعة) follow these imams?

What beliefs of these do we follow as Ahnaaf/Shawafi?

How does following them tie into following the madhaahib?

Is there any detailed books on this authored by reliable authors?

Q: Is there a difference between Wahabbis and Deobandis? If yes, what is it? I know it can be a bit irrelevant but I don't go to shrines and family go. I haven't told them, I just make excuses so, I shared this with some friends and close friends said that I should write to someone but few of them said that it means that my sect is Deobandi and some said Wahabbis.

I'm sure if it's necessary to have a sect? Please tell me if I'm on the right path and if it's according to our Deen? If not then what should I do?

Q: Someone says that the Ashaaira were never found in the time of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and also in the time of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum). He says that they are only recent and its not good to follow them. What is a good answer to to give him?

This is what he is saying: Among the ulama in the time of our Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), there were no Ashaaira. Most Muslims know that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is of the highest level in all aspects. He says that the ulama believe that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is of the highest in all aspects of Islam. Who knows about Allah more? Till the big ulama like the 4 imams, there was no one who was part of the Ashaaira. Why were they are not Asharis? This Ashari thought is a bidah. No Sahaabah or Tabieen had even an iota of belief as an Ashari.

Q: What is the belief of the Ahlus Sunnah regarding Allah Ta'ala? Is Allah Ta'ala All-Present or is Allah Ta'ala only above the heavens?

Q: Who are Maaturidis, Asharis and Atharis? Can you please tell in detail?

Q: I want to know about Imam Abu Mansoor Maaturidi and Imam Abul Hasan Al Ashari? Do all the people of ahl sunnah wal jamaat and followers of Aimma Arba believe in their aqaaid?

Q: Which people are included in the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaat? Are deobandis, barelvis and ahle hadeeth included in the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaat?

Q:

1. Who are the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah?
2. Are the following groups from them a) Shia b) barelwi c) qaadiyaani d)deobandi e) salafi?
3. Who are the ash-'ari, mamaati, hayaati and maturidi and what are their believes?
4. Are they from the ahlus sunnah wal Jama'ah?
