No
Connection With Us - If You Shun Sunnah
Similarly, the Holy Prophet
excludes from his fold one who shuns Sunnah. As such, he has said: "He
who shuns my sunnah - turns his face from them - he has had no connection
with me."
When His Holiness himself turns out any one from
his group, however much we may assert ourselves to be within the fold of
Islam and among the Umma-e Muhammadiyyah, we cannot enter this group. After
the Holy Prophet's
ruling and fatwa the learned ulema (divines) may or may not issue this
fatwa for any one. But the categorical thing is that such a man does not
remain a Muslim, rather he is not a Muslim. Then, in the world, he may
or may not believe it but he will come to know tomorrow, on the Day of
Judgement, at the Fountain of Kausar, when he will be turned away from
there; and the Holy Prophet
will himself say: "Destruction and remoteness be for one who changed his
way (of life) after me!"
Hence one should always be very fearful as regards
disobedience to Allah and His Prophet
and should keep following his auspicious sunnahs and methods with all the
force at one's command. But it should always be borne in mind that man's
baser self (nafs) and Satan will always keep telling him: "Well, you are
very weak. Where have you the strength to follow it (sunnah)?" Hence one
should try to save oneself from the Satan's guile and deceit, otherwise
the consequence will be very bad.
