Trend and Sunnah...

I am no scholar in religion.. in fact, one who is still so new and searching. All this while, simply reading and taking what my brain tells as good, therefore adapt.. but once I start to listen to sermons, talks by the different Ustaz, learned people of the religion.. it is something so scary to know how easily one can slip, simply by thinking what is good to be correct.

The best, is still to always refer to Quran in no matter what. Attend classes from different speakers, and most of all.. dua, ask Allah and only Allah for guidance and never to be set astray. 

إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّينَ
Surely We have sent down to you the Book with the Truth; so worship Allah, making the religion faithfully His. (Az-Zumar 39:2)  

Sesungguhnya Kami menurunkan Al-Quran ini kepadamu (wahai Muhammad) dengan membawa kebenaran; oleh itu hendaklah engkau menyembah Allah dengan mengikhlaskan segala ibadat dan bawaanmu kepadaNya.

A new word I was introduced to... "Thagut". May we be spared.  

اللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ  ۖ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَوْلِيَاؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُمَاتِ  ۗ أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ  ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

Allah is The Ever-Patronizing Patron of (the ones) who have believed. He brings them out of the darknesses into the light. And for (the ones) who have disbelieved, their constant patrons are the Taghut (i.e. false gods, idols, devils and seducers) who bring them out of the light into the darknesses; those are the companions of the Fire; they are therein eternally (abiding). - Al-Baqarah 2:257

وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ   ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلَالَةُ   ۚ فَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ

And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): "Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Taghut (all false deities, etc. i.e. do not worship Taghut besides Allah)." Then of them were some whom Allah guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified. So travel through the land and see what was the end of those who denied (the truth).
