FOUNDATION OF ISLAM

PART – 6

 15.  Al-Irbaad bin Saariyah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

            I enjoin you to fear ALLAH and I enjoin you to listen to and obey (your ruler) even if he is an Abyssinian slave because he among you who lives after me will see great disagreement. You are bound, therefore, to follow my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-guided Khulafa (caliphs). Hold to it fast and keep away from innovation in religion. Any new thing in religion is innovation and every innovation is mis-guidance. (Abu Dawood, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah, Mishkat)  

 

16.   Al-Irbaad bin Saariyah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

        ALLAH will not cause all my people to be misled. The HAND of ALLAH is over the (Muslims) community. If anyone separates himself (from them) he will be separated in the Fire (from them). (Tirmizi, Mishkat)  

 

17.   Sayyidina Ibn Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

            Follow the great majority of Muslims for he who separates will be separate in the Fire. (Ibn Majah, Mishkat)  

 

18.   Sayyidina Mu’aaz bin Jabal (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

        Surely, the devil is a wolf to man just as the wolf that devours sheep. It catches the sheep that walks by itself, far away from the flock or the one that keeps itself at a distance. (Ahmad, Mishkat)

       

19.   Sayyidina Maalik (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

        I have left with you two things and you will not go astray as long as you hold fast to them, the Book of ALLAH and the Sunnah, of HIS Messenger, Muhammad (SALLALLAHO-ALAIHE-WA-AALEHI-WASALLAM) . (Muwatta, Mishkat).

20.   Sayyidina Abu Hurrayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

        My example and that of all other Prophets (Peace Be upon Them) is like a palace that was built beautifully, but the place of one brick was left incomplete. Those who watched it went around it admiring its beauty but wondering at the missing brick. So, I am the one who has filled the place of the brick; the palace (of Prophet-hood) is completed with me and with me the Messengers (Peace Be upon Them) have all been sent. I am the (final) brick (of the palace of Prophet-hood) and the seal (or last) of the Prophets. (Peace Be upon Them)   (Bukhari, Muslim and Mishkat) 

 

21.   Sayyidina Abu Hurrayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

        The last Day will not come until about thirty deceivers are born, each of whom lays claim on being the Messenger of ALLAH.  (Bukhari)
