Regarding the Obligation to Know the Guidance of the Messenger (PBUH)

From here it is understood the overriding necessity for the slaves to know the Messenger (PBUH), and the Message which he brought, because there is no path to success except at his hands, nor to know good from evil except through him, so no matter how urgent the need or how great the necessity, the need of the slave for the Messenger (PBUH), is far above it.

And what is your opinion regarding one whose guidance is concealed from you and whose message corrupts your heart in a moment? But only a living heart feels this, for a wound is not felt by a dead man. 1

And if happiness is dependent upon his ', guidance, then it is incumbent upon every person who loves salvation for himself to know his guidance and his life story (Seerah) and all his affairs in order to avoid the path of the ignorant.

And the people in this matter vary between those with a little knowledge, this with much knowledge and those who know nothing whatsoever; and Bounty is in Allah's Hand, He gives it to whom He wills and Allah is the Owner of great Bounty.

1. The end of a verse of poetry by Al-Mutanabbi: That begins:.Whoever dwells in disgrace, gets used to it.
