Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) stated about the Prophets and Messengers (alayhimus salaam):

Allaah guided them to the straight path -in knowledge and deeds, particularly the Ulul Azm (The five best Prophets and Messengers—Muhammad, Nuh, Ibraaheem, Musa and Isa] All these Messengers were from the righteous servants of Allaah; rather they are from the foremost of the righteous servants and guides of the righteous servants. Allaah chose them and guided them to the straight path. This is the guidance of Allaah besides which there is no other guidance. [1]

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:

Every person who accepts the statements of these atheists is one of two people; either he is ignorant about their affair or that he is an oppressor who wishes for ascendancy and corruption in the earth or combines both traits in him. This was the state of affairs of the followers of pharaoh about whom Allaah stated: [فَٱسۡتَخَفَّ قَوۡمَهُ ۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُ‌ۚ – ”Thus he [Fir’aun (Pharaoh)] befooled and misled his people, and they obeyed him. ” [Soorah Zukhruf: Ayah: 54] [2]

The people of common sense are agreed that the one whose perception or manners are corrupted or both of them, then his statements will become nonsensical. [3]

Do not be deceived—you may not be described with what you know

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

How many people know about love of Allaah, its rulings and all the affairs it necessitates; but his heart is deprived of it?! And how many a slave knows and bears witness to the pre-decree of Allaah and the excellence of sufficing oneself with Him; but when that which has been decreed takes place in opposition to what he likes, you see him anxious—having neither tranquility (and) certainty nor repose?! And only the one whose heart has acquired knowledge and awareness of Allaah in truth is tranquil about Allaah being sufficient for him, whilst submitting to His judgments, whatever the state of affairs may turn out to be.  And how many people know the rulings of trade and its details; but at the time of dealing, buying and selling, he does not deal in a beautiful manner with others?!  This is the same in many affairs with regards to this pattern of behaviour.

Therefore, do not be deceived when you know something that you will be attributed to it, and that is why it is legislated for the slave to ask Allaah for beneficial knowledge, and that is knowledge that produces actions (as its fruits).  And Allaah knows best.
