Quotes From The Scholars: Follow The Sunnah Even If The People Are In Opposition

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee رحمه الله و رعاه said:

 "The religion is by following, not with opinions and desires and moods(and personalities of the people).Rather, it is following the texts of the Qur'aan and Sunnah, even if the people oppose and differ from it and abandon it. Therefore, success is in following (the Kitaab and Sunnah) and destruction is in innovation."
