The Best Sunnah for Its Practitioner: The Unification of the Supreme Path of Sovereignty (Discourse on the Sunnah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And the Sunnah is the best for its practitioner, so it unifies the supreme path of sovereignty".
Allahu Akbar. This is the unification of the path, because we have now the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, who is the intended and desired goal. Therefore, one must be sincere to Him, one must be truthful in seeking Him, and one must also follow the path that leads to Him, is that not so? This is necessary. If a person said, "By Allah, I love with all my heart to reach Makkah," and he prepared the mount and everything, but then he went east, where is he going? He said, "I am going to Makkah." Is this correct? Why? Because he did not follow the path that leads to Allah. It is necessary to follow the path that leads you to Allah. What is the path? There is only one path, and it is the path of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) — I ask Allah to grant me and you success in following it — there is no path other than this one.[Al-An'am 6:153]. For this reason, he said: "And the Sunnah is the best", meaning the highest in excellence, which is the best guidance for its practitioner, "so it unifies the supreme path of sovereignty".
