Tickets To Paradise--Ticket #14 (Obey Allah and His Messenger)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “All my nation will enter the Paradise except those who refuse.” The companions asked, “O Rasulullah! Who would refuse?” He, Allah bless him and grant him peace, then said, “Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise and whoever disobeys me has indeed refused (to go to Paradise).” (Bukhari)

There is no path which leads to Paradise except the path of the Prophet Muhammad, Allah bless him and grant him peace, for Allah tied His love with following and obeying the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Allah says,

قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّـهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ ٱللَّـهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّـهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Say: 'If you love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you, and forgive you your sins; God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.' (31) Say: 'Obey Allah, and the Messenger.' But if they turn their backs, Allah loves not the unbelievers.
(Qur'an 3:31-32).

By not following the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, one may not achieve the love of Allah. Without the love of Allah, this life has no meaning. So, it behooves us to look to the sunnah of His Messenger, Allah bless him and grant him peace, and incorporate them in our lives and our worship the most and the best we can, and we should stay away from his prohibitions and dislikes, and leave those things immediately, if we are engaging in them.

May Allah guide us and grant us tawfiq. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
