No one can achieve nearness to All a h without following his religion. No action can be acceptable to All a h without being followed through his religion and be in accordance with his Shariah , and performed in accordance with his Sunnah. In the first couplet of this Qa si dah, it was explained that the only way to achieve nearness to All a h was through the Holy Prophet sa , and whoever does not drink from this spring is deprived forever because all other springs have dried up. In other words, with resorting to the Holy Prophet sa as a medium, no one can reach the Royal Court of Allah the Exalted. COUPLET 48 He is the pride of the pious, the holiest ; He is the pride of the spiritual legions of men of virtue.
