Hadith
Al-ʿAbbas ibn ʿAbd al-Muttalib reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “He has tasted the sweetness of Imaan (faith) who is content with Allah as his Lord, with Islam as his religion, and with Muhammad as his Messenger.”
وَعَن الْعَبَّاس بن عبد الْمطلب قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ذَاقَ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا»
Muttafaqun ʿAlayhi (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
Ponder This Hadith
If tasting the sweetness of faith is tied to being content with Allah as God, Islam as the religion, and Muhammad ﷺ as the Messenger, then where is room for an alternative authority that redefines belief, worship, and guidance outside what he ﷺ delivered and requires you to seem him as God on earth?
