Ayat 61. And among them are men who hurt the Prophet (Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) and say: "He is (lending his) ear (to every news)." Say: "He listens to what is best for you; he believes in Allah; has faith in the believers; and is a mercy to those of you who believe." But those who hurt Allah's Messenger (Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) will have a painful torment.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Do not ask me unnecessarily about the details of the things which I do not mention to you. Verily, the people before you were doomed because they were used to putting many questions to their Prophets and had differences about their Prophets. Refrain from what I forbid you and do what I command you to the best of your ability and capacity". [Al-Bukhari Hadith # 7288]
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah At-Taubah Ayat 61. "He listens to what is best for you; he believes in Allah; has faith in the believers;
To be unnecessarily inquisitive and create differences and confusion in the Injunctions of Allah and His Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) leads to destruction. The safest course lies only in following the Orders of Allah and His Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) without `ifs' and `buts.' Hairsplitting in religious issues falls in this category. It opens the door for chaos and conflict and paves the way for disunity and separation. May Allah give sense to the Muslim Ummah to abandon this road and take the Right Path which ensures peace and security. Let it be absolutely clear that the Right Path is one and one alone. There cannot be multiple right paths, it is one and singular. Once a community leaves the Straight Path, it is sure to go astray.
