It is for you to follow the footsteps of the Messenger -saww of Allah -azwj and his -saww Sunnah, and the footsteps of the Imams -asws of Guidance from the People -asws of the Household of the Messenger -saww of Allah -azwj from after him -saww and their -asws Sunnah.

So the one who takes to that has been guided, and the one who avoided that and abandoned it, went astray, because they -asws are the ones -asws for whom Allah -azwj Commanded (the people) to be obedient to, and for their -asws Wilayah.
