Taken from the book Shariat and Tasawwuf by Hadhrat Maseehul Ummat, Maulana Mohammed Maseehullah Khan (ra) wherein they narrate a few statements of the pious sufiya of the past about adhering to the sunnah.

In this regard Bayazid Bistami (ra) says:

“Do not be deceived if you see a performer of supernatural fears flying in the air. Measure him on the Standard of the Shariat – how he adheres to the limits of the Commands of the Shariat.”

Hadhrat Junaid (ra) says:

“All avenues besides the strict following of Rasulullah (saws) are closed to mankind.”

Hadhrat Nuri (ra) says:

“Do not venture near to one who lays claim to a condition which brings about transgression of the limits of the Shariat.”

Hadhrat Khwajah Naseeruddin Chiraghe Dehlawi (ra) says:

“Obedience to Rasulullah (saw) is imperative.   Such obedience is essential in word, act and intention because Love for Allah Ta’ala is not possible without obedience to Hadhrat Muhammad Mustafa (saws).”

Khwajah Mueenuddin Chishti (ra) says:

“He who adheres to the Shariat, executing its commands and refrains from transgression, progresses in spiritual rank, i.e. all progress is dependant on adherence to the Shariat.”

Hadhrat Hakimul Ummat (ra) says in Ta’limuddin:

“Whoever acquires the wealth of Wusul (Attainment, having attained the Love of Allah ) has acquired it by virtue of following the Sunnat.”
