Al-I'tisam bi-Sunnah | Ibn Taymiyyah



Al-I’TISAAM BIS-SUNNAH


Shaikhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah –rahimahullaah- said, as occurs in Majmoo 'ul-Fataawaa (4/137):

They used to say: Clinging to the Sunnah (al-I'tisaam bis-Sunnah) is salvation.

Maalik –rahimahullaah- said: The Sunnah is like the Ark of Nooh: whoever embarks upon it will be saved, and whoever remains apart from it will be destroyed;’ and this is true, for the Ark of Nooh was only boarded by those who attested to the truthfulness of the Messengers, and followed them; and those who did not board it had rejected the Messengers.

So following the Sunnah is to follow the Message which came from Allaah.
So the one who follows it is just like one who boarded the Ark along with Nooh, outwardly and inwardly; and the one who fails to follow the Message is just like one who failed to follow Nooh'alaihis-Salaam, and failed to board the Ark along with him.
