Muhammad (pbuh)  
     
1. Narrated by the humble servant of One Islam, whose name means al-Haqq from Allah’s Apostle in vision, saying: “All that a pure believer needs is within the True and Holy Qur’an. This is the first. Honor the sacred deed (constitution) of One Islam second. Respect these authentic Hadith of Allah's Apostle and no other is the third. Finally, honor all other sacred scripture that respects Allah as one who loves all life, peace and wisdom. Never raise false sayings and false scripture above these four things.”  
2.

The Prophet said, “I am no more than man; when I order you anything respecting One Islam, receive it; and when I order you anything about the affairs of the world, then I am nothing more than man.”

 
3. The Prophet said, “Allah gives men and women the ability to think, to reason and to choose. Therefore you yourself do not need to be told the surety of words claimed to be from me. If a person tells you a saying claimed to be from me that advocates evil, cursing, death or ignorance, if they tell you any sayings that defy the notion of Allah being eternal love, wisdom and gentleness then the gifts given to you by Allah should be enough to see through such evil and false statements.”  
4. The Prophet said, “If anyone claims authority to speak on behalf of Islam who is a prince in a palace of Gold and marble then they are an imposter. If anyone claims authority to speak on my behalf who wears the finest threads and eats more than their fill, advocating death and destruction then they are false teachers. Only a man that humbles himself as the lowest servant, who dresses with modesty and respects knowledge and science is worthy to speak with authority.”  
5. The Prophet said, “Only fools follow kings and tyrants on matters of faith. ”
