"Say: This is my way: I call to Allāh, I and those who follow me being certain, and glory be to Allāh, and I am not one of the mushrikeen." [12:108]

ʿAbdullah b. Mas’ūd – Allāh be pleased with him – said:

The believer sees his sins as if he is sitting at the foot of a mountain fearing that it might fall on him, while the sinner (fājir) sees his sins as a fly that lands on his nose, he just waves it away.

Al-Bukhārī, Al-Sahīh, The Book of Supplications, Chapter on Tawbah.

Ibn Hajr quotes in his commentary, Fath Al-Bārī:

Ibn Abī Jumrah said, “The reason for this [fear] is that the heart of a believer is illuminated; so when he sees from himself something that goes against what he illuminates his heart with, it is very distressing to him. The wisdom behind giving the example of a mountain is that a person might find some way to escape from other dangers, but if a mountain falls on a person he does not survive. In short, the believer is dominated by fear (of Allāh) due to the strength of īmān he has; he does not therefore feel falsely secure about being punished because of his sins. This is the way of the Muslim: he always fears and checks on himself, his good deeds are little to him and he fears even the small bad deeds he has done.”

It is reported that Sufyān b. ‘Uyainah – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Verily, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is the highest standard; things are measured by him: his character, lifestyle and behavior. Whatever agrees with [these] is true and correct, and whatever contradicts [them] is wrong.

Al-Khatīb Al-Baghdādī, Akhlāq Al-Rāwī wa Ādāb Al-Sāmi’ article 8.

Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (Rahimuhullāh) Said:

A man’s time is in fact his life, and his eternal life, whether it is eternal bliss or eternal suffering, is based on how he spent it. Time is passing quickly; whatever time he spends for the sake of Allāh and by the help of Allāh, this is his true life; any other time is not counted as part of his life, even if he spends it doing what animals do. So if he spends his time in heedlessness, idle entertainment and false wishes, and the best of what he spends his time in is sleep and idleness, then his death is better than his life.

It is reported that Ya’lā b. ‘Ubayd said, “We entered upon Ibn Sūqah, who said: ‘O nephew, let me relate to you something that will hopefully benefit you; for it benefited me. ‘Atā b. Abī Rabāh once said to us:'”

Those before you used to consider idle talk to be anything other than the Book of Allāh, or the enjoining of good, or the forbidding of evil, or speaking for the sake of your basic living needs. Do you deny that there are recording angels appointed over you? Sitting on your right and your left? Never is a word said except there is an observer prepared to record? Are you not afraid (ashamed) that your record of words and deeds be spread open only to discover that there is nothing of the hereafter in it?

Al-Dhahabī, Siyar A’lām Al-Nubalā` 5:86

And the followers of the Millah of Ibrāhīm are the most severely tested people because they follow the methodology of the Prophets in the Da'wah unto Allāh.

As Waraqah Ibn Nawafal said to the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم "No man has ever come with the likes of what you came with except that he was taken as enemy."

So if you see, in our time, those who claim to call to the likes of what the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم used to call to and upon the likes of his path, and he claims to be upon his methodology, yet he is not taken as enemy by the people of falsehood and authority (sultan), and instead he's calm and relaxed in their midst - then examine his condition.

He is either astray from the path; he has not come with the likes of what the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم came with and he took crooked paths,or he is a liar in his claim and he clothes himself in what he is not fit to clothe himself with.

Al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyād said:

“Do not become alienated with the truth due to small number of those who follow it. And do not be deceived by the falsehood due to the large amount of destroyed people.”

And better than this are His – the Exalted – words:

“And indeed Iblīs (Shaytān) did prove true his thought about them, and they followed him, all except a group of true believers (in the Oneness of Allāh).” (Saba 34:20)

Al-Junayd Ibn Muhammad said: 'The paths to Allāh (the Mighty and the Majestic) are all at a dead-end except for those who follow the footsteps of Allah's Messenger (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and his Sunnah. As Allāh (the Mighty and the Majestic) said:

لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ

“There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allāh an excellent pattern”

[Al-Ahzāb (33): 21]

Many claim to love the Prophet, may the peace and blessing of Allāh be upon him, yet they do not traverse upon the same path as him nor follow his way.

Imam ibn Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“In order for a place to contain something, it must be free from whatever contradicts it. This principle applies to mankind and all creation as well as to belief and desires. So, if the heart is obsessed by belief in falsehood, there will be no place for truth. Accordingly, if the tongue is involved in trivial discourse, one shall be incapable of useful speech, unless falsehood is abandoned. Hence, if the body is busy doing wrong actions, then acts of worship will be inapplicable unless these contradictory actions are abandoned. This is how this principle is applied to concrete objects, and it is also applied to belief and religion.”
