Importance of following Sunnah!

Sidi wa sanadi Hazrat Moulana Mohammad Taqi Usmani sahib db told us:
=
“Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Thani (Sheikh Ahmed Sirhindi Naqshbandi) ra said,
‘Allah SWT initially gave me the outward knowledge of Shariah and made me excel in it. Then I turned towards the inner wisdom Sufiya possess. All praise to Allah SWT, He made me do extremely well in them also. And Allah SWT bestowed all His bounties on me and eventually elevated me to such a high station that our lord, the mercy for the universe (Prophet Mohammad salallaho alehey wa alehey wasalam) conferred the royal cloak of honor to me by his very noble hands.
Furthermore, Allah SWT made me move forward additionally to much higher stations to the level that if I speak of it, the scholars of the exoteric Shariah will give a verdict that I am a unbeliever (kafir) and Sufiya will label me to be a heretic (zindeeq). But how can I deny this? It is a fact.
-
However, after achieving all these exalted stations I make a prayer (dua). Whoever says ameen after it, inshaAllah he will also receive salvation (magfirah).
-
The dua is:
O Allah! Give me the tawfeeq to follow the example of prophet salallaho alehey wa alehey wasalam (ameen).
-
O Allah! Keep me (steadfast in) following the example of prophet salallaho alehey wa alehey wasalam till I die (ameen).
=
This is because, after all this journey I found out that it is due to this following of Sunnah of prophet salallaho alehey wa alehey wasalam, that this was achieved.'
Therefore, we should make a solemn determination from today onwards that we are going to perform all the Sunnah of prophet salallaho alehey wa alehey wasalam. Then, inshaAllah, we will observe how bliss, noor, barakah and luminosity is instilled in our lives. =
=
By Allah SWT, the delight of life is not achieved by indulging in transgressions and sins. Ask regarding this pleasure from those individuals who have molded their lives in the example of Prophet salallaho alehey wa alehey wasalam. "
(Islahi-mawaiz 236-7)
