And here is a beneficial quotation about this topic from Islamqa:

The first thing is being keen to follow what the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) brought, and to persevere in adhering to it.

In order to attain high status before Allah, may He be exalted, He has stipulated a condition that must be met, namely following that which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) brought. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say, [O Muhammad], ‘If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful’”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:31].

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has enjoined us to follow the Messenger, obey him, take him as an ally and love him, and has enjoined that Allah and His Messenger should be dearer to us than all others. He has guaranteed that, through obedience to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and loving him, we may attain the love and honour of Allah. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say, [O Muhammad], ‘If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful’”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:31]

“And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided”

[an-Noor 24:54]

“and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be admitted by Him to gardens [in Paradise] under which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein; and that is the great attainment”

[an-Nisa’ 4:13].

And there are many similar verses in the Qur’an. No one has the right to drift away from that which is established in the Sunnah, stated in the teachings of Islam, proven in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and was what the early generations of the ummah adhered to.

End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (1/334).

This following cannot be imagined to have happened without learning and understanding that which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) brought. The first step in following Islam is to learn about it from its authentic sources, and to persevere in doing so.

It was narrated from Humayd ibn ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan: I heard Mu‘aawiyah saying in a speech: I heard the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “If Allah intends good for a person, He causes him to understand Islam.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (71) and Muslim (1037).

It was narrated from ‘Uthmaan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The best of you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5027).

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Included in the meaning of the words “The best of you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it” is teaching both the letters and their meanings; in fact learning its meanings is the first intended purpose of teaching its letters (and how to recite it). That is what increases faith.

End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (13/403).

The way of the early generations was to persevere in learning what the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) brought, then after that they persevered in acting upon what they had learned.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas‘ood said: If one of us learned ten verses, he would not go beyond them until he learned their meanings and put them into practice.

Narrated by at-Tabari in his Tafseer (1/74).

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We lived for a short time of our lives when the youngest among us would learn about faith before learning the Qur’an. A soorah would be revealed to Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), so he [the youngest among us] would learn what that soorah said was halaal and haraam, and what limits it said were to be adhered to, the way you learn the Qur’an. Then he said: I saw men, one of whom would learn the Qur’an and recite everything in it, from beginning to end, not knowing what therein was a command and what was a prohibition, or what limits were to be adhered to, reciting it rapidly like broadcasting seeds.

Narrated by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak (1/35). He said: This is a hadith which is saheeh according to the conditions of the two shaykhs [al-Bukhaari and Muslim], and I do not know of anything wrong with it. And adh-Dhahabi agreed with him.

It was narrated that Abu ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan as-Sulami said: Those of the companions of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) who taught us the Qur’an told us that they used to learn ten verses from the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), and they would not learn the next ten until they had learned what those ten verses contained of knowledge and dictated of actions. They said: So we learned knowledge along with how to act upon it.

Narrated by Imam Ahmad in al-Musnad (38/466); classed as hasan by the commentators on al-Musnad.
