Be with the Truthful!
Allah says in the Holy Qur’an: يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ وَكُونُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ O People who Believe! Fear Allah,...
Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ وَكُونُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
O People who Believe! Fear Allah, and be with the truthful. (9:119)
Allah did not say it is enough to have Imaan and be pious, but He says you must also be with the truthful. Follow the truthful people, stay attached to the way of the Awliya and seek advice from the truthful Ulama!
Why? You have Imaan, you have piety, but there is no guarantee that these will forever remain in your possession. Whereas, being with the truthful will provide you with that guarantee – as when Shaytaan comes and attempts to mislead you with his evil, these people (the truthful) will protect you. They will save both your Imaan and your Taqwa (piety).
This is why it is incumbent upon you all to follow the most truthful of this age, the biggest and the most steadfast upon the truth – Taajush Shari’ah (Mufti Akhtar Rida Khan). Follow him and he will protect you from the Shaytaan, whether it be in the form of human or jinn, he will save you from every form of Shaytaan.
