All praise is for Allah who guided us to Islam and blessed us with it and placed us in the best nation, so we ask Him to grant us that we keep to that which He loves and is pleased with and avoid that which He hates and which angers Him.
Know that Islam is the Sunnah, and the Sunnah is Islaam and one of them cannot be established without the other.
1. The Prophet said, “He who turns away from my Sunnah is not from me.” Reported by al-Bukhaaree (Eng. trans. 7/1-2/no.l), Muslim (Eng. Trans. 2/703/n0.3236) and an-Nasaa'ee.
2. Abu Hurairah said that Allaah's Messenger said, "All of my Ummah will enter Paradise except those who refuse." It was said, "Who will refuse?" He replied. "Whoever obeys me enters Paradise and whoever disobeys me has refused." Reported by al-Bukhaaree (Eng. trans. 9/284/n0.384).
3. Imaam az-Zuhree (the famous taabi'ee, d.124H) said, “The people of knowledge who came before us used to say, ‘Salvation lies in clinging to the Sunnah.'” Reported by ad-Daarimee in his Sunan (no.96).
4. Imaam Maalik said, “The Sunnah is like the Ark of Noah. Whoever embarks upon it reaches salvation and whoever refuses is drowned.” Quoted by Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah in Majmoo' ul-fataawaa (4/57).
“…And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)…”
What Allaah gave as booty (Fai') to His Messenger (Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) from the people of the townships, - it is for Allaah, His Messenger (Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), the kindred (of Messenger Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), the orphans, Al Masaakin (the poor), and the wayfarer, in order that it may not become a fortune used by the rich among you. And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it) [1], and fear Allaah; Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment. (Al-Hashr 59:7).
[1] Narrated ‘Alqamah: ‘Abdullah (bin Mas’ud) said, “Allah curses those ladies who practise tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those ladies who get their hair removed from their eyebrows and faces except the beard and moustache, and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful whereby they change Allaah’s creation.” His saying reached a lady from Banu Asad, called Umm Ya’qub, who came (to ‘Abdullah) and said, “I have come to know that you have cursed such-and-such (ladies)?” He replied, “Why should I not curse those whom Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) has cursed and who are cursed in Allaah’s book!” Umm Ya’qub said, “I have read the whole Qur’an, but I did not find in it what you say.” He said, “Verily, if you have read it (i.e. the Qur’an), you have found it. Didn’t you read:
“And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it).” (V.59:7).
She replied, “Yes, I did.” He said, “Verily, Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade such things.” She said, “But I see your wife doing these things?” He said, “Go and watch her.” She went and watched her but could not see anything in support of her statement. On that he said, “If my wife was as you thought, I would not keep her in my company” (i.e. I would divorce her). (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadith No.408).
Narrated ‘Abdullah (bin Mas’ud - radiallaahu anhu): Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) has cursed the lady who uses false hair. (See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadith No.409).
