The Happiness of Servants is in theGuidance of the Best of ServantsThanks to Al-lah for sending his messenger with guidance and the religionof the truth, that he may make it topmost above all religion, despite thehatred of associators (those who associate others with Al-lah). Peace andblessings be upon the one who was sent down as a mercy for mankind, ourprophet Muhammad, his household and companions.No happiness for mankind and no salvation for them except throughfollowing the messenger as Al-lah states (what can be translated as): "And whoever obeys Al-lah and his messenger, he will cause him to entergardens from beneath which rivers run, eternally (abiding) therein; and thatis the magnificent triumph. And whoever disobeys Al-lah and his messengerand 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) theobedience of Al-lah and his messenger (peace be upon him) is the pole ofhappiness 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 humankindexcept to worship me." (Ath-Thariyat the winnowers]: 56)Al-lah (swt) orders them to obey him and his messenger. There is no worshipand obedience except for the duties and commandments of Al-lah, followinganything else is a delusion. This is why the prophet (peace and blessings beupon him) said: "whoever does an act which is not in agreement with ourmatter (Islam), will have it rejected." (Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)The Prophet (pbuh) also said: "whoever lives after me will see manydifferences, so you must keep to my sunnah and of the sunnah of the rightlyguidedcaliphs, cling to it firmly. Beware of newly invented matters, for everynew matter is an innovation and every innovation is misleading." (Reportedby At-Tirmidhi)
