the erring ones.”

behind among you, the Holy book (Quran) and the Sunnah. If you follow these in letter and

spirit, you will never be strayed.” (Hakim Al-Mustadrik Book#1 Hadith # 318)

When  Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) was asked about the example of the Prophet (saw), she

said, “He was the walking talking Quran”.
