Peace psyah bhai and for explaining this in detail. Allow me to input further to explain what is actually in my mind. By taking from your given example: that a person decided to go out in to the mountains to think about his life for a short while and then returned with some spiritual benefit so if another person wants to achieve the same there is nothing in wrong in him copying that act but what if this became a kind of trend although there is nothing wrong. Kindly note this trend will not come into existence over a night but it will be adopted very very slowly but effectively and I feel (I might be wrong) that one day it will be very hard to abundant this ‘way’ even if one wants too.

While in our gathering, when we don’t reach at any point we says to each others, lets start all over again from ‘Zero Point’ and that ‘Zero Point’ is ‘Qur’an and Sunnah of our Prophet PBUH’. But many of us don’t even wants to stat all over again. You can differentiate this by reading posts of all who posted here.

Moreover, one thought which never gets out of my mind that foremost of all ways, we have one ‘way’, that is the way of our Prophet PBUH, to follow. So do we still in need to follow other ways which comes second after the Prophet’s PBUH way?

Hope I was able to explain what we were exactly discussed with my friend.

P.S. I’m not saying I’m very knowledgeable and an expert but actually i’m started all over from Zero point and really need help to understand things better then before.

We cannot follow the example of RasoolAllah (SAW) directly … To think so if a fallacy. Who has seen RasoolAllah (SAW) to say he follows directly? Everything in Islam we have from Tariqah, to Aqeedah to Shari’ah has come to us from scholars, students who were were students who were students of the Salaf the followers of Aqa Sayyidina RasoolAllah Mustapha Abu Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (SAW) …

Anyone who thinks they are following Sunnah are really either following their own interpretation or someone else’s interpretation … It is better to follow someone else’s interpretation unless you have studied Islam at a deep level, even then most interpretations are based on previous interpretations.

People think they are following Sunnah by referring to hadith … But the hadith are snippets of recorded narrations … Tafasir and the poetry of Arabic tries its hardest to capture the fullest essence of the language and culture, but it has changed … We can only rely on those people who have copied their scholars perfectly … Just like we rely on the mutawatir unbroken chains of hadith for our peace of mind … Knowing that we will always be separate …

Yes, trends do become commonplace … But as long as we don’t start calling those trends as part of Islam but part of our way to get to enhance Islam inside us then this is not introducing a new matter. For if it was then going to mosque in a car, or using aircraft to travel to umrah or many things we do as modern day Muslims would be forbidden … We must be consistent in interpretation … That is more important.

These ideas I take from Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi and these are not my own …
