What does our Prophet (PHUB), the Sultan of Hearts, say about this?

"Prophets (nabîs) will not come after me. Prophethood has ended with me. But caliphs and imams will come after me. He who obeys them obeys me. He who rebels against them rebels against me."

"No Prophet will come after me, but scholars and caliphs will come. Whoever depends on them will depend on me, and whoever disobeys them will disobey me."

"Those who give you spirit will come, seek them out. Whoever does not depend on the Imam of the time will die in ignorance."

 "My Companions are like the stars in the sky. Whichever of them you follow, you will attain guidance."

 "Follow my Sunna (the traditions and practices) and the way of the righteous caliphs who came after me." "In every century, there will be those from my ummah (community) who compete in obedience to Allah and in good deeds."

"Whoever obeys me obeys Allah. Whoever rebels against me rebels against Allah. Whoever obeys the Imam (the Perfect Guide/Murshid or the Imam of the Time) is obeying me. Whoever rebels against the Imam has rebelled against me."

“None of the companions who pledged allegiance under the tree at Hudaybiyah will enter the Hellfire." "O people! You are all in astray, except those who attain Guidance. Wish that I may guide you."

"Surely Allah will send to this Ummah (community) at the beginning of every century a Mujaddid (reformer) who will renew the understanding of religion."
