DHALÂLAH - ضلالة

 

Literally: An error. The state of being astray or lost.

As an Islamic term: Deviating from îmân and Islam. Going astray from the way of Islam, haqq and haqiqah. Any deviation from as-sirât al-mustaqîm. Being rebellious towards Allah. Falling into bid'ahs. Deviating from tawhid, which is the istiqâmah of belief. Dhalâlah makes its owner a kâfir even if he claims to be a Muslim and accepts the pillars of îmân.

Dhalâlah is the opposite of hidâyah.

Yes, the Sunnah and actions of that personage certainly are the finest examples to emulate, the soundest guides and the strongest laws to uphold as principles since, by the consensus of both friends and foes, Ahmad (asm) is the place of manifestation for the highest degrees of moral virtues, and since, unanimously, he is the most famous and distinguished personage among mankind, and since, through the indication of thousands of miracles, the testimonies of the Islamic world that he established, the perfections of the Islamic world and the affirmation of the haqiqahs of Al-Qur’an Al-Hakîm, of which he is the herald and interpreter, he is the most excellent, perfect man and greatest murshid, and since, as a result of following him, millions of people of perfection have advanced in the levels of attainment and perfection and have reached the happiness of both worlds.

Happy is the one who has a great share of following the Sunnah. One who does not follow the Sunnah, if it is out of laziness, it is a great loss; if he considers it unimportant, it is a great crime; the criticism of it, which reeks of pronouncing it to be false, is a great dhalâlah.
