Largest ijmah of the world muslims follow (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

1.Ibadate e ilahi ﷻ 2.Ghulamane mustafaﷺ   3.Mohabbate ahle bait(ra) 4.Azmat e sahaba(ra) 5.Sohbate auliya(ra)

You have to follow the Congregation for verily Allah will not make the largest group of Muhammad’s Community agree on error[Ibn Abi Shayba NO 354 ]

Allah will never let my Ummah agree upon misguidance, and the hand of Allah is over the group (Jama’ah), so follow the great mass of believers (Sawad ul-‘Azam), and whoever dissents from them departs to hell (Hakim 1/116 ,Tirmidhi 2256 , Cairo ed. `Aridat al-ahwadhi (11:9) )

“My Community shall never agree upon misguidance, therefore, if you see divergences, you must follow the greater mass or larger group Ibn Majah (2:1303 #3950)

“Verily Allah has protected my Community from agreeing upon error.”[Ibn Abi `Asim narrated it in the Sunna and Albani declared it hasan in his Silsila sahiha (3:319).]

Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman: ….. He said, “Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them).” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Describe those people to us.” He said, “They will belong to us and speak our language (i.e Arabic) ” I asked, “What do you order me to do if such a thing should take place in my life?”,He said, “Adhere to the CONGREGATION OF MUSLIMS and their Chief.” I asked, “If there is neither a group (of Muslims) nor a chief (what shall I do)?” He said, “Keep away from all those different sects, even if you had to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, till you meet Allah while you are still in that state.”( Bukhari Book 56 Hadith 803 )

(Sahih Bukhari 6881)  “A group of my community will remain victorious in the truth.”

 “A group of my community will remain victorious until the command of Allah comes upon them while they are victorious  .

They are the people of knowledge. Imam Bukhari explains the victorious group to be the people of knowledge, and hence it is established that the aimmat mujtahids and ulema of ahlus sunnah are this group,

(Sahih Bukhari 6882) Ibn Shihab reported that Humayd told him, “I heard Mu’awiya ibn Abi Sufyan giving a khutba in which he said, ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, “If Allah desires good for someone, He gives him understanding in the deen. I distribute, but Allah gives. This community will remain straight until the Final Hour comes (or until the Command of Allah comes).

“Allah’s hand is over the group.”[Sunan Tirmidhi , Hadith termed hasan] al-Munawi said: “Allah’s hand is over the group means His protection and preservation for them, signifying that the collectivity of the people of Islam are in Allah’s fold, so be also in Allah’s shelter, in the midst of them, and do not separate yourselves from them. Whoever diverges from the overwhelming majority concerning what is lawful and unlawful and on which the Community does not differ has slipped off the path of guidance and this will lead him to hell.[al-Munawi, Sharh al-Jami` al-saghir 3:449]

Ibn Umar (Ra) reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:  “Follow the great mass (as-Sawad al-Azam) for he who kept himself away from it, in fact would be thrown in Hell Fire.” (Ibn Majah; vide: Mishkat, 1/174, by A.H. Siddiqui). 

The translator of Mishkat-ul-Masabih (A.H. Siddiqui, pg. 113) said in the footnote to the last Hadith:  “There is a good deal of difference of opinion as to what the term Sawad al-Azam implies.The overwhelming majority of the scholars are of the view that As-Sawad al-Azam means the largest group of the learned scholars and pious persons whose opinions are held in high esteem in Islam.” 

“Whoever leaves the Community or separates himself from it by the length of a span, dies the death of the Jahiliyya (period of ignorance prior to Islam)”[Sahih Muslim (Imara #55) through Ibn `Abbas. Muslim relates it with slight variations through three more chains. Ibn Abi Shayba also relates it in his Musannaf.]
