Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Guidance has been interpreted in various ways, for Allah sent Muhammad with guidance. It was interpreted as the Qur'an, interpreted as Islam, and interpreted as knowledge. Which of these is most correct?

Answer:
Knowledge and guidance are one thing, and the Qur'an is also knowledge. The Messenger is the path, and Islam is the path; all of it encompasses the straight path. It encompasses Islam, it encompasses the Messenger, and it encompasses the Qur'an. For this reason, Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) says in his tafsir of Surat al-Fatihah: "Guide us to the straight path." It was said: the Qur'an. It was said: the Messenger. It was said: Islam. It was said: the Qur'an. It was said: the Messenger. And all of it is true. All of it is true. Yes.
