Al-Allaamah
Ahmad Al-Najmi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
“In
order to be acquainted with the straight path one has to return to the Quran
and the Sunnah, and that which has been affirmed in the seerah of the
Prophet ﷺ, the actions of
the rightly guided caliphs and rightly guided scholars who came after them and
this cannot be known except from the Hadith and by way of it, one will
become acquainted with understanding in the religion and the rulings of the Sharee’ah,
the actions of the Sahaabah and their creed, the actions of the early
rightly guided imams - those who
(transmitted and based their lives on) hadeeth and were people of sound
creed. Therefore, it is obligated on you to (adhere) to that; strive in (this
path) and do everything within your capability to be acquainted with it.”
