THE IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING THE SUNNAH OF PROPHET MOHAMMED SAW

we must try to follow the sunnah of prophet mohammed sall aliahi wa sallam and keep away from scholars who go against
the holy quran the sunnah and the 4 imams of fiqh The Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat is the largest group of Muslims and the only
group whose beliefs and teachings are truly in accordance with the Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam). . In many Ahadith, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) strongly advised the Muslims to follow
his Sunnah and to remain steadfast upon the path of his Sahaba, the Salf-e-Saliheen and the majority of Muslims to remain
steadfast upon the way of the Ahle Sunnah. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) clearly warned his Ummah to
completely abstain from joining in the gatherings of or listening to the words of any of the other misguided groups that will
appear amongst the Muslims, whose beliefs will contradict the beliefs of the largest group of Muslims. The Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "In the period prior to the Day of Judgement, false and deceitful groups will emerge. They
will say things to you, which neither you nor your forefathers will have ever heard before. Stay away from these deceitful
people and do not let them come near you! Do not be misguided by them and do not let them cause strife amongst you!"
(Sahih Muslim) To believe in any of these "Islamic groups makes a person a hypocrite, Shia, Rafazi, Khaarijite, Qadiani,
Ghair-Muqallid (Ahle Hadith), Tablighi, Deobandi, Maudoodi, Ahle Quran (People of Quran), etc. which are totally out of
Islam. Any person who falsely claims to be the true Mahdi is misguided and a Faasiq. Any person who says that Almighty
Allah can lie, that the Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knowledge are like those of animals, that the Prophet
Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is not the Final Messenger, that the swearing of the Sahaba does not make one a
criminal, that the Prophet's knowledge is less than Shaitaan, etc. is a KAAFIR (totally out of the folds of Islam). We should
not perform Salaah or associate with such persons as their companionship is detrimental to our Imaan.
