Most Beloved People to Allah صفاتهم الذين يحبهم هللا تعالى
Surah Al-e-Imran #31
Say (O Muhammad - to the people) now = people
reading the Quran
There is a condition mentioned here
If you love Allah then you need to follow me (Prophet
Muhammad )
2 Results:
o Allah will love you
o Allah will forgive you your sins
Everyone says “I love Allah” – no one has an issue in that
But people differ in the second condition – to follow the Prophet
Verily Allah is oft-forgiving and most Merciful
Here it shows that there is no other way – you need to follow the Sunnah – you need to follow
Prophet Muhammad
Allah has connected it with His love as a condition – so it is essential (in a way obligatory) to follow
Prophet Muhammad
Faith/testimony has 2 parts
o هللا رسول محمد هللا اال اله ال ان اشهد
o I testify that there is no god but Allah AND that Prophet Muhammad is His messenger
It is a very important matter because Allah connected HIS LOVE to Prophet Muhammad
المتبعون لرسول هللا
سلم صلى هللا عليه و

THE WAY TO FOLLOW PROPHET MUHAMMAD
Walking on/following the path of the Prophet
Following without any questions, without any debates, without
thinking about logic, without any excuse, without thinking about
the wisdom
We need to follow him (blindly) – don’t follow anyone else blindly!
We need to act how he used to act – in certain situations – how he used to behave
In all matters of worship + In all matters of life (ways of life)
WHY? because he never did anything in his life unless it was revelation from Allah (divine)
Our goal is to worship Allah – so we follow the way of the Prophet
There are 2 conditions for accepted good deeds
o for the sake of Allah
o following Prophet Muhammad
WHAT DO WE FOLLOW THE PROPHET IN?
What do we follow him in?
2 kind of worship Obligatory & Recommended
We have obligatory acts of worship بجاو
o For these acts we HAVE to follow his way
o It is compulsory
o We need to follow him completely in those actions
We need to follow him in obligations 5 times prayer, Ramadan fasts, Hajj, ….
**********************************
For the recommended acts بحتسم
Duha prayer, fast on 9 DhulHijjah, how he slept, Tahajjud
prayer, how he ate, what dua he said when he left his house, etc its recommended to follow
him in all these acts (way of life) Not compulsory but recommended
The more you try to follow him – the more your rank with Allah is raised
o The more you apply the Sunnah acts in your daily routine o The more Allah will love you!
In order to follow him correctly you
need knowledge of what he did – so
you follow what he did and then Allah will love you

If you want Allah’s love – you follow the Prophet if you follow him then you cannot be the one who innovates or creates something new – because you are already just following!
When you invent in religion – it’s as if you don’t love the Prophet o Types of worship / sacrifice / fasts / dhikr, etc
Those people are invent/create acts/ways of worship in a way Prophet Muhammad never did
If something Prophet Muhammad did not do – we should not do
No one can do more in religion than what he has done
Don’t do anything unless you are sure he did it also
Little deeds that are 100% following the Prophet is more beloved to Allah than doing so many acts of worship but those are following this sheikh and that scholar (leaving the Sunnah)
Knowing that Allah loves us in return is an encouragement that we should strictly follow the Sunnah (Allah’s love + forgiveness of sins)
If you follow bida – you engage in acts of worship that are not clear – leaving the Sunnah which is very clear!
Hadith any act / deed that one will do that Prophet
Muhammad did not do – will not be accepted (will be rejected)
Following the Sunnah will be sufficient for us - we should be satisfied with it
People are not satisfied with the sunnah – so they create more duas – read certain surahs at certain times in life –
all that which the Prophet never did Imagine we take effort to do acts of worship – and then
you will find out it’s not been accepted = WHAT A WASTE!?!?! Follow the way of the Prophet – at least you get the reward
o Reward of the Life ( ايند ) o Reward of the Hereafter ( ةرخآ )
When you follow the Sunnah Allah will make your life easy for you and love you and forgive your sins
When you follow the Bida your life will become complicated and you will not be among those Allah loves
Person initiating a new act or worship – is like as if he thinks he is a messenger / or knows better
than Prophet Muhammad

Another Hadith every act of innovation is midguidance (every
misguidance is in Hell fire)
Misfguidance = then you will never reach your target (Paradise)
You will be misguided on the way (not being on ميتسملا طارص )
You need to obey Allah + the Prophet the و shows both these obedience are
compulsory – they need to be together – one is not enough
There are people/groups who just follow the Quran – they don’t follow the Sunnah
Allah says in this verse those who don’t obey both of them (Allah + Prophet ) they
are like the disbelievers and Allah does not love the disbelievers! Its opposite of the
previous verse
Shaitaan encourages people to innovate and spread in religion
Because it’s a matter of religion – extra prayer, extra dhikr – so people don’t take it
wrong
Sins leave guilt but bida (innovations) do not leave guilt so they are difficult to leave /
repent
It’s not an easy matter – may Allah protect us from all bida
Cannot follow anyone in the way of eating, sleeping, talking, maintain ties, celebrating
events in life – Eid, Marriage, etc
o Only follow the way of the Prophet
