“And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not
(other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This He
has ordained for you that you may become pious” (al-Anaam 153).
Allah has thus announced that there is His path and there are other
paths that divert one from His path. Anyone with true faith will desire
with great intensity to follow that one true path. That one path,
obviously, is the path laid out in Allah’s revelation to the Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), comprising
both the Quran and the Sunnah.
It is part of the great mercy of Allah upon the Muslim
Nation—a feature that distinguishes this Nation from that of all of the
previous prophets—that Allah promised to preserve the revelation to
the final Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Allah
