Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)
Abdullah ibn Umar (RadhiyAllahu Anhuma) narrates:
“The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “My Ummah will face what Bani Israel faced step by step, even if one of them approached his mother publicly (sexually) there will be one of my Ummah will approach his mother. The people of Israel divide into divided into 72 sects, my Ummah will divide into 73 sects, all of them are in the hellfire, and one of them is in paradise.” We asked “which one is saved?” the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “the one that is Me and my companions.” (Al-Tirmidhi)
“The one that is Me and my companions” is referring to the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah (Adherents to the Sunnah and the Jama’ah i.e. Companions of the Messenger). They are on the Haq (truth).
A person should seek knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah to be guided on the true path. Hence, without knowledge one cannot be guided.
Allah Ta’ala says,
“There has come to you, from Allah, a Light and a clear Book; with it Allah guides those who follow His pleasure to the pathways of peace, and brings them out, by His will, from the
depths of darkness into the light, and guides them to a straight path.” (5:15-16)
The meaning of ‘a Light’, it is the actions that emanate from the respected body of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and a means of guidance in directing people towards the straight path. (i.e. His Sunnah)
Please read the Aqeedah (belief) of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah:

And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
