These people think that following the Sunnah is
difficult. For example, Ribaa has been made Haraam but they feel like they need
it for their business (or buying property etc.) or that they need it to make a
profit, and a result of this they leave off the following of the Sunnah.
Some people leave obeying the ruler because they
want to gain power. By doing this, they leave obedience to the ruler and by
extension honouring the Sunnah. This is in order to please people or gain power
for themselves.
“Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah though it
displeases the people, then Allah becomes pleased with him and He will make the
people pleased with him. Whoever seeks the pleasure of the people and it
displeases Allah, then Allah becomes displeased with him and will make the
people displeased with him.” [Classed as Saheeh by al-Albaanee in Saheeh
at-Targheeb (2250)]
Another example is the Hijaab. Some people leave
wearing (and ordering the wearing of) the Hijaab and try to feminise women.
Their argument is that they want to seek reform, they want to advance (i.e.
claiming Islaam is backward), and as a result they leave the honouring of the
Sunnah (TN: these are examples but the ruling upon those who have such ideas
may differ, some falling into sin and others perhaps into Kufr – and Allaah’s
Protection is Sought).
The point here is that in order to honour the
Sunnah, one must be following it and submitting to the revelation, to accept it
all, not remaining upon it with any form of doubt, spreading and teaching it,
refuting innovations and to rule by it in all our affairs.
