Attaining "Siraat al-Mustaqeem"

بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد

In Majmoo` al—Fataawa (18/287-288), Shaikh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

“Abiding by the Sunnah (of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) in (our) speech and in (our) actions, in all the matters pertaining to worship and habits, is from the perfection (and attainment) of the Siraat al-Mustaqeem (the straight path). And other than that, if it is not from the things that are prohibited (i.e. there is no clear text prohibiting it or allowing it), then (acting upon) it will be imperfect or less likely to be correct. Verily! The best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.”
