THE CORRECT PATH

There is only one correct path and there is only one true path. The true path is the path threaded by our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. Many people think that the true paths can be many. They say all paths are true as long as all the paths will make us to reach the same destination. They argue that we can follow many different paths, as we like, as long as all the paths will make us to reach the same destination. They say, for example, there are many ways or roads to Kuala Lumpur. When can take any roads we like since all the roads will lead to Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately, we cannot apply the same argument in Islam. The path mention in the Quran is not the same path or the roads leading to a place. The path mention in the Quran is the ways of life. The correct ways of life is the ways of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and that way of life will lead us to Allah. The destination that we have to reach is not a place but the destination is having the love and the acceptance of Allah until we become the lover of Allah. The ways of life of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is the ways of life love by Allah and whoever follows that way of life he or she will becomes the lover of Allah. Once a person becomes the lover of Allah, he or she has reached his or her destination and he or she has become successful in this world and hereafter.
To become successful is the aims and the desire of every person in this world. Everyone wants to become successful and Allah, who has created us, wants us to become successful. Allah wants us to become successful more than we want ourselves to become successful. The path that will lead us to success is the path taken by our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. The path or the ways of life taken by the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w colored by the aims of life of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w .The aims of life of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is to please Allah until Allah is pleased. Allah is pleased when all the entire humankind belief and obeys Allah. He stops business and concentrate wholly with the work of dakwah CLICK. He spends time doing the work of dakwah from morning until evening and he met everyone and call them to Allah. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w did the work of inviting the non-Muslims to accept and to recite the Kalimah I bear witness there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah CLICK. When they becomes Muslims, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w will asked them to obey the orders of Allah and the first order of Allah is the work of dakwah, which is to invite the non-Muslims to enter Islam.
Nowadays Muslims are not in the path of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w since the work of dakwah which is the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam is not become the work of any Muslims. Nowadays Muslims have forgotten that the work of dakwah is the main work of every Muslims and it is the first order of Allah upon entering Islam, and the work of dakwah is obligatory on all Muslims. All Muslims including the learned Muslims have totally forgotten the work of dakwah on non-Muslims. Muslims are very unaware of the fact that the works of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam are their work and the negligence of that work will bring the wrath of Allah upon the Muslims. When Allah is not pleased with the Muslims, Allah will not answered the prayer of Muslims, Allah will not grant whatever the Muslims ask from Allah and Allah will not help the Muslims against their enemies. The enemies of the Muslims will always overpower the Muslims when Allah’s help is not with the Muslims. The condition of nowadays Muslims is because Allah is not with the Muslims. Allah is not with the Muslims because the Muslims have neglected the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam CLICK and the work to reminding the Muslims to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam CLICK.

When Muslims are neglecting the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam and reminding the Muslims to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam, Muslims will not be in the correct path.  To be in the correct path Muslims must follow the Sunnah of the Prophet and the Companions of the Prophets s.a.w. The Sunnah of the Prophet and his companions begins with the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam and reminding the Muslims to obey the commandments of Allah. The first Sunnah or the first order of Allah is the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam. When Muslims are not following the Sunnah of the Prophets and his Companions, the Muslims are not in the correct path. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w used to say with the approximate meaning that my umat would divide into seventy-three groups and only one group is following the correct path. When his companions asked who are in that group. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w answered that the one in the correct path is the ones that follow my Sunnah and the Sunnah of my companions’.  Both the Prophet s.a.w and his companions do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam and to remind the Muslims about the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam, but we do not do that same work as they did. Are we in the correct path or are we in the deviated path. Until and unless we do the same work as our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions did, we are in the wrong path. We do not like to be on the wrong path and neither we like people to tell us that we are in the wrong path. We always like to be in the correct path and we like people to tell us that we are in the correct path. We like to be in the correct path does not mean we are in the correct path. The correct path in the eyes of Allah is the path taken by the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions and the path begins with the work of calling the non-Muslims to enter Islam and to remind the Muslims to do the work of calling the non-Muslims to enter Islam.

To be in the correct path we cannot follows other than the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. We can only follow the scholars that follow the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. We cannot ask the people to follow the scholars when the scholars do not follow the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. We may call the scholars that do not follows Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions as ulama’ or those who fear Allah but in the eyes of Allah they are not ulama’ as all ulama’ follows the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. All ulama’ do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam and reminding the Muslims to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam.
