A Gift From Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Taimiyyah To Those Whose Love & Hate Is Either Based Upon Following One Particular Scholar Or Based Upon Following A Certain Group Of Scholars Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah rahimahul-llah said: “The people of truth and Sunnah do not follow except the Messenger peace is upon him who would not speak out of desire. He is the one whom must be believed in everything he told and obeyed in everything he commanded. And such status is not permissible for any of the Imams after him, rather everyone’s statement can either be accepted or rejected except the Messenger peace is upon him. And whomever made a person other than the Messenger (peace is upon him in a way whoever loves him and agrees with him is from Ahlus-Sunnah and whoever disagrees with him is from people of innovation and division-like it is present in sects- he is from people of innovation, misguidance and division”.

So it is incumbent on the person to seek the inward understanding in his heart and to act upon it for that what is hidden in heart becomes apparent at times of trials. And it is impermissible for anyone to belief in a statement or call to it just because it is said by his companions (i.e. a , nor it is permissible for him to fight for it. Rather he should do that because it is from what Allah and His Messenger have commanded or what Allah and his Messenger told because that is an obedience to Allah and His Messenger”.
