QUESTIONS IN THE LIFE OF A MUSLIM

What should we do about the differences?
Our reference is the Sharia'a, following the Book of Allah(Subhanna wa ta'ala)(the Quran) and the Sunnah of His Prophet(Sala Allahu alaihi  wa salam). Allah(Subhanna wa ta'ala) said in the Quran:

O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those of you who have authority and knowledgeAnd if you differ about a subject, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the Day of Judgement, it is better and the right way. "(An Nisa,59)
Which will be the community saved on the day of Judgement?
The Prophet(Sala Allahu alihi wa salam) said:

"My nation will split into seventy-three groups, all deserve the fire except one. " Someone said: Messenger of Allah, which is this group? Replied, Those who cling to me and  my companions. "Narrated by Tirmidhi.
The truth and the guide are to follow the teachings of the Prophet and his companions and to refrain from all innovations in Islam.

What is the Meaning of La ilaha ila Allah ?
Deny that there is no god with the right and deserving to be worshiped except Allah. Saying that only Allah is the One God who deserves our worship and devotion.
Can we understand the Quran without recourse to the Sunnah?
It is forbidden to leave the Sunnah. Allah ordered us to follow the Sunnah in the Quran : 
"The precepts that has sent the Messenger to you, respect it and deny how much He has forbidden."
                               (Al Hashr,7)
The Sunnah was revealed to explain the Qur'an. We can only access  to the details of religion through the Sunnah.
The Prophet (Sala Allahu alaihi wa salam) said:
"I was revealed the Qur'an and a similar knowledge (the Sunnah). I do not rule out that an ignorant man sitting on his couch says:"Meeting only, which orders the Quran, leaving only what it prohibited"
                     Narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud.


What is Ihsan?
The Prophet (Sala Allahu alaihi wa salam) has said in response to who asked about the Ihsan:
"Is that you worship Allah as if you see Him, because if you do not see him,  He sees you." Narrated by Muslim.
What are the rights of the companions of the Prophet?
Our obligation to the companions of the Prophet(Sala Allahu alaihi wa salam) is love them and beg  the pleasure of Allah (Subhanna wa ta'ala) upon them when we pronounce their names, saying: May Allah be pleased with them (Radia Allahu 'anhum).
We most honor them both in our hearts and with our words, spreading their virtues and noble deeds. Teaching  to all Muslims, not to mention their mistakes, and the differences that existed between them, for the companions of the prophet are human beings, and therefore it is normal to make mistakes and sins. They were not infallible but judged according to their best performance of the broad knowledge they had of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Vied with each other to overcome, and the best of them were these ten, in descending order: Abu Bakr, Omar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Az-Zubair, Abd al Rahman ibn Auf, Saad ibn Abu Uaqqás, Said ibn Zaid and Abu Ubaida ibn al Jarrah. The best after they, are immigrants and supporters among the Muslims who participated in the battle of Badr, then the rest of the Helpers and then the rest of the companions. The Prophet (Sala Allahu alaihi wa salam) said:

"Do not curse my Companions, for if any of you spend the equivalent of (the mountain of) Uhud (in Allah's cause), this would be equivalent to a handful or even half a handful that have spent one of my Companions."
                    Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim
And He also said:
"Whoever curses my companions, laid on him the curse of Allah, His Angels and all people."
                     Narrated by al-Tabaraani
What are the obligations to the authorities of the Muslims?
Muslims owe allegiance to their rulers and Muslim authorities as they pleased and what not. They should not revolt even if it is unfair. They should not curse or pray against it. Must beg to be enlightened by Allah to rule properly.
If the person ordered to disobey Allah, do not obey that order but continue to obey what is in accordance with obedience to Allah.
The Prophet(Sala Allahu alaihi wa salam) said:
 "Listen and obey  the authority , Even if punished you or take your belongings, listen and obey. "
