Om Reviving the Abandoned Sunnan
The Happiness of Servants is in the
Guidance of the Best of Servants
Thanks to Al-lah for sending his messenger with guidance and the religion
of the truth, that he may make it topmost above all religion, despite the
hatred of associators (those who associate others with Al-lah). Peace and
blessings be upon the one who was sent down as a mercy for mankind, our
prophet Muhammad, his household and companions.
No happiness for mankind and no salvation for them except through
following the messenger as Al-lah states (what can be translated as):
"And whoever obeys Al-lah and his messenger, he will cause him to enter
gardens from beneath which rivers run, eternally (abiding) therein; and that
is the magnificent triumph. And whoever disobeys Al-lah and his messenger
and transgresses his bounds, he will cause him to enter a fire, eternally
(abiding) therein, and for him is a degrading torment." (An-Nisa: 13-14) the
obedience of Al-lah and his messenger (peace be upon him) is the pole of
happiness that we revolve around and the abode of salvation that we seek.
Almighty Al-lah creates his creations to worship him as he says in the qur'an
(what can be translated as): "and in no way did I create the jinn and humankind
except to worship me." (Ath-Thariyat [the winnowers]: 56)
Al-lah (swt) orders them to obey him and his messenger. There is no worship
and obedience except for the duties and commandments of Al-lah, following
anything else is a delusion. This is why the prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him) said: "whoever does an act which is not in agreement with our
matter (Islam), will have it rejected." (Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
The Prophet (pbuh) also said: "whoever lives after me will see many
differences, so you must keep to my sunnah and of the sunnah of the rightlyguided
caliphs, cling to it firmly. Beware of newly invented matters, for every
new matter is an innovation and every innovation is misleading." (Reported
by At-Tirmidhi)
