What is the truth? Many believe that there are many truths but in fact there is only one truth. What is the one which is the truth? The truth is there is no God except Allah and Muhammad saw is the Prophet of Allah. Other than Allah is not God and to believe that there is other God other than Allah is to believe in falsehood. There is no God except Allah is the word of truth and to believe that there is no God except Allah is to believe in the truth. Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah is also the words of truth and to believe that Muhammad saw is the Prophet or the messenger of Allah is to believe in the truth. The word, Allah is the word of truth and the words of other than Allah are the words of falsehood. A person who believes in the words of Allah is believing the truth and the person who believe in the words of other than Allah is believing in falsehood. Many believe that there are many true paths but actually the true path is only one path? Which one path is the true path? The true path is the path of calling peoples to Allah. There are many wrong paths but there is only one true path. Which are the wrong paths? The wrong paths are the paths of inviting towards other than Allah. Many men are following the wrong paths but they think they are following the true path and they even invite others to follow the wrong path which they believe to be the true path.

There are many paths which are followed by men in this world but many of the paths are the wrong paths. Many do not know which one is the true path. Many follow and think that the paths which are followed by many are the truth path. There are many wrong paths but the true path is only one path. Prophet Muhammad saw had said with the approximate meaning; My umat will be divided into seventy three groups and there will be only one group from among the seventy three groups, which follows the true path. When the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw enquired, which group follows the true path, the Prophet Muhammad saw answered with the approximate meaning; the group which is on the true path is the group which follow me and my companions. However everyone in this world claims that they are on the true path. In reality there is only one group which follows the path of truth. The path followed by Muhammad saw and his companions. Which path is followed by Muhammad and his companions? That is the path of inviting others to Allah. Allah mention in the Quran with the approximate meaning; Say Muhammad to your followers that this is my path, the path of inviting others to Allah with firm belief and this is my path and the path of those who follow me. Many are following the wrong path but they strongly believe that the path which they are following is the true path and they even invite others to follow their path. There are some who even force others to follow the path which they believe to be the true path and even willing to kill others who are not willing to follow their path.

Men have the choice to either choose the correct path or the wrong. There is no one who should force others to follow the path which is not the path of his or her choice. The path of truth is the path which has been followed by the man of truth. Who is the man of truth? The man of truth is the man who practices the words of Allah in all of his actions. The words of Allah are the Quran and the man who follows the Quran is the man of truth. Who is the man who practiced the Quran? Who is the man whose actions are the Quran? Muhammad saw is the man who has practiced the Quran and all the actions of Muhammad saw are the Quran. Quran is the words of Allah. The words of Allah are the truth. The man whose actions are the Quran is the man of truth. Muhammad saw is the man of truth because all the actions of Muhammad saw are Quran. Whoever wants to become the man of truth must follow Muhammad saw. Sunnah of Muhammad saw is the practices of Muhammad saw. There is no one in this world who understands the Quran more than Muhammad saw. The Quran was revealed to Muhammad saw and the person who understands the most from among men in this world about the Quran is none other than Muhammad saw. Muhammad saw practiced the whole Quran. What was practiced by Muhammad saw is known as the Sunnah. Sunnah is the practical interpretation of the Quran. The meaning of the Quran is explained by the Sunnah. Quran is the words of Allah. Allah is the truth and the words of Allah are also the truth. Whoever practices the words of Allah in their lives is practicing the truth. The man who practices the truth is the man of truth. The man of truth is Muhammad saw. Whoever wants to become the man of truth must follow Muhammad saw. How far away our actions from the actions of Muhammad saw is how far we are from the truth? The truth must be compared with the actions of the man of the truth or with the Sunnah of Muhammad saw.

Many believe that there are many men of truth in this world but in fact there is only one man who is truly the man of truth. The man who is truly the man of truth is the man who practices the whole Quran and the man who is practicing the whole Quran is only Muhammad saw. The whole actions of Muhammad saw are the Quran and it is known as the Sunnah. A person who is practicing the Sunnah is practicing the Quran and the person who is not practicing the Sunnah is not practicing the Quran. The man who is truly the man of truth is Muhammad saw and whoever wishes to become the man of truth must follows Muhammad saw. A man will not become the man of truth if the man is not willing to follow the man who is truly the man of truth. Our actions are the actions of truth if our actions are following the actions of Muhammad saw. How far our actions are deviating from the truth is measured by how far our actions are deviating from the actions of Muhammad. We like to claim ourselves to be the men of truth when our actions are far deviated from the actions of Muhammad saw. The actions of Muhammad saw are the benchmark of truth and whoever follow the actions of Muhammad saw are following the truth. What is the source of truth? The source of truth is the Quran and Sunnah. Whoever follows Quran and Sunnah is following the truth. Whoever does not follow the Quran and Sunnah is not following the truth. Many claim, they are following the Quran but when they are not practicing the Sunnah it means they are not following the Quran. The Quran is the words of Allah and the Sunnah is the Quran in actions. The person who is not practicing the Sunnah is not practicing the Quran. The person who is not practicing Quran is the person who is not following the truth. Among the last advices which was given in the last sermon of our beloved Prophet Muhammad saw to the entire mankind is to follow Quran and Sunnah or otherwise men will become deviated from the true path.

Many Muslims believe they are on the true path but they are practicing many actions which are not Sunnah. Many ulama have introduced many practices which are not Sunnah and when Muslims are practicing actions which are not Sunnah; Muslims have become deviated from the truth. Generally all Muslims follow their ulama blindly because they believe their ulama are following the Sunnah. Many Muslims are not aware that many of their ulama are not actually following Quran and Sunnah and are actually deviated from the true path. When Muslims follow their ulama who are deviated, Muslims will also become deviated from the true path. Many ulama have introduces many practices which are not Sunnah but the Muslims on the other hand believe whatever practices introduced by their ulama are Sunnah. Many Muslims have become deviated from the true path because they follow their ulama blindly. How a person can become deviated from the true path? A person, irrespective whether the person is ulama or an ordinary Muslims, will become deviated from the truth path when the person does not practice the Sunnah of Muhammad saw. Ulama are the persons who have the fear of Allah in their hearts and because they have the fear of Allah in their hearts, they have the understanding of the Quran and Hadis. On the other hand todays Muslims believe ulama are the persons who have studied about Quran and Hadis. Many Muslims regards all the persons who have studied about Quran and Hadis as ulama. If the person who has studied about Quran and Hadis does not have the fear of Allah, Allah will not give them the understanding of Quran and Hadis. Many of those who have studied about Quran and Hadis are not ulama because they do not have the fear of Allah and they do not have the understanding of Quran and Hadis. Many of those who have studied about Quran and Hadis are not ulama but Muslims regard them as ulama and follow the ulama blindly.

Many practices which are being introduced by many ulama are not the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw but because the practices come from the ulama, Muslims believe that the practices are the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw. There are many practices which are not practiced by Prophet Muhammad saw but are reported in the false Hadis as the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw. Many Hadis, even those Hadis which were narrated by Imam Bukhari and Muslims are false Hadis. When Muslims are practicing the actions which are not Sunnah, Muslims will become deviated from the true path. What is the true path? The true path is following the Quran and Sunnah. When Muslims are not practicing the Sunnah, Muslims are still on the wrong path. Many Muslims believe that they are already on the true path only because they are Muslims. But the fact is Muslims are truly on the true path when they are practicing all the Sunnah which are fardu and Sunnat. Muslims certainly will not be on the true path when Muslims are not even practicing the Sunnah which is fardu on all Muslims. Muslims who are practicing only the Sunnah which is Sunnat on Muslims but are not practicing the Sunnah which is fardu on Muslims are also deviated from the true path. What is the Sunnah which is the most fardu on all Muslims? The Sunnah which is the most fardu on all Muslims is the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils. What is the Sunnah which is the second most fardu on all Muslims? The Sunnah which is the second most fardu on all Muslims is the performance of the five times daily prayers. Many Muslims who are regarded by many as good Muslims are only practicing the five times prayers but they are not practicing the Sunnah which is the most fardu on all Muslims. When Muslims are not practicing the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils they are actually not practicing the Sunnah which is the most fardu on all Muslims. When Muslims are not practicing the Sunnah which is the most fardu on all Muslims, Muslims certainly have become deviated from the true path.

What is the true work or the work of truth? There are many types of work but the work which is the true work is the work of inviting mankind to recite the Great Kalimah and to invite those who have recited the Great Kalimah to obey the orders of Allah. What is the Great Kalimah? The Great Kalimah; I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. The Great Kalimah is the Kalimah of truth and the work of inviting mankind to recite the Great Kalimah is the work of truth. A person will only become the men of truth when they do the work of truth. What will the persons who are doing the work of truth gain? When a person is doing the work of truth the person will gain iman. What is iman? Iman is obtained when the words of truth or the Great Kalimah is inside the person’s heart. When the Kalimah of truth is inside a person’s heart the person will become a man or a woman of truth. A man or a woman of truth is the man or woman who is the believer. A man or a woman cannot become the man or the woman of truth without doing the work of truth. There are many works but there is only one work of truth. The Great Kalimah is the Kalimah of truth. When the Great Kalimah is only on the mouth of a person, that person is only a Muslim. A Muslim will only become the person of truth or believer when the Great Kalimah is inside the Muslim’s heart. There is no One who is able to place the Great Kalimah inside the person heart except Allah. Allah will only place the Great Kalimah inside a person heart when the person is doing the work of truth.

In this world, men are not able to earn anything without working. In this world men need to work in order to obtain anything which men want. Allah is the One who is able to give us whatever we want. When we want to obtain anything we have to work. Allah orders us to work in order to enable us to obtain anything we want. It is not the work which gives us the things that we want but the One who gives us the things that we want is Allah. We work because it is the order of Allah and the intention of working is only to please Allah. In order to become the man of truth, man need to do the work of truth. Muslims are not doing the work of truth, Muslims will not become believers or men of truth. Beside the work of truth, all other works are means for men to obtain money and money are means for men to obtain materials. Men are able to use the materials only in this world. Men are not able to use the materials in the hereafter. In the hereafter, men need to use good actions and not materials. All other works are means to obtain materials but the work of truth is the mean to obtain good actions. Muslim is the person who has recited the Great Kalimah. When Muslim is not doing the work of truth, the Great Kalimah will not enter into his or her heart and the person will remains only Muslims. When Muslim dies they will have to enter into the hellfire before they can enter paradise. Muslim will only be able to enter paradise after they have been punished in the hellfire. When Muslim is doing the work of truth, until Allah is pleased with him or her, Allah will make the Muslim to become believers. When a believer dies, the believer will enter straight into paradise without having to enter hellfire. A person who is able to enter paradise without having to enter the hellfire is the person who is truly successful in this world and in the hereafter.

Nowadays nearly all the Muslims in this world are not doing the work of truth. Muslims are no longer doing the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and no longer reminding other Muslims about the Great Kalimah and to invite the Muslims to do the work of truth. Since nearly all the Muslims in this world are not doing the work of truth then it is logical to believe that there is hardly any from among the Muslims in this world who is the man of truth. A man of truth does not come by birth or come with descendents but a man of truth comes only with the work of truth. Many Muslims are waiting for the coming of Imam Mahdi whom the Muslims believe to be the man of truth. Since many centuries ago Muslims have been waiting for the coming of Imam Mahdi whom the Muslims believe is able to make the entire men in this world to become the men of truth. A man of truth is not born but the man of truth comes with the work of truth. A man will not become the man of truth without doing the work of truth. What is the work of truth? The work of truth is the work of inviting mankind to Allah or the work of inviting men to good and forbidding men from evils.

Many Muslims are still waiting for the coming of Imam Mahdi or the man of truth. The man of truth will only come, when Muslims are doing the work of truth. What is Imam Mahdi? In my opinion, Imam Mahdi is not a person but is the revival of the work of truth or the revival of the Sunnah which is the most fardu on all Muslims or the revival of the work of inviting men to Allah or the revival of the work to invite men to good and forbidding men from evils. When Muslims are doing the work of inviting men to good and forbidding men from evils then only from among the Muslims, will come out many men of truth. When Muslims are not doing the work of truth, Muslims may continue waiting for the coming of the man of truth or Imam Mahdi but the man of truth or Imam Mahdi will never come to the Muslims. Since more than one thousand years ago Muslims have been waiting for the coming of the man of truth or Imam Mahdi but until today Imam Mahdi has never come to the Muslims. Prophet Muhammad saw is the Prophet who is sent for entire mankind from his time until doomsday. Muhammad saw is the last Prophet of Allah and there will be no more Prophets who will be sent after him to this world.

A person is known as a Prophet when that person is receiving a revelation or wahyu from Allah. With the death of Prophet Muhammad saw there will be no more revelation or wahyu which will be revealed to mankind which means after Prophet Muhammad saw there will be no more Prophets who will be sent to the entire mankind. After the Prophet Muhammad saw, Allah may send Naib of Prophet Muhammad saw to the mankind but Allah will never sent anymore Prophets after Muhammad saw. Since the time of our Prophet Muhammad saw until the doomsday the Prophet for the entire mankind is Muhammad saw. With the death of Prophet Muhammad saw there will be no more revelation or wahyu given to entire mankind which means there will be no more new orders of Allah to men after the death of Prophet Muhammad saw. Allah had completed the sending of revelation or wahyu to men which mean Allah had perfected his orders and completed His favours upon men and Allah has accepted Islam as the religion for entire mankind.
