Obedience to Rasulullah (PBUH)
Allah made it obligatory upon us to obey Rasulullah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him). To obey him regarding what is halal and what is haram:
“Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper.” [Qur’aan 7:157]
“He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah.” [Qur’aan 4:80]
“Say: If ye do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you sins.” [Qur’aan 3:31]
“And obey Allah and the Messenger, that ye may obtain mercy.” [Qur’aan 3:132]
Allah sent Rasulullah ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with the Qur’an to teach us our religion. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the living example as to how we should lead our life. Allah sent him at a time when the world was rampant with corruption and evil. When the world needed guidance, Allah sent him (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as a mercy to mankind.
