Following the Pious Servants of Allah Ta‘ala

Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:

In Surah Faatihah we ask for guidance to the straight path. But what is this path and how will that guidance come? This is explained in the next verse:

صِرَاطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ

 “The path of those whom you have favoured”

They have adequate knowledge of the sharee‘ah and they also enjoy Allah Ta‘ala’s special grace. They are not those who stray away from the path of truth and righteousness.
