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)
