The spirit of returning to the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet as a slogan in the da'wah of the Salafi to make them a source of religion. The Salafi purification movement is a theological critique based on concerns about the purity of Islamic teachings from the influence of Gorontalo local culture.
