This platform teaches Islam in the easiest, clearest, and most heartfelt way. It is a beautiful path to learning Salah, Wudu, manners, and knowing Allah.
What is the Sunnah?
Sunnah refers to the words, actions, habits, character, and lifestyle of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
How he performed the prayer, how he ate, slept, interacted with people, and made supplications—everything was a lesson for us.
The Sunnah is a path that helps us become more beloved servants of Allah.
Why is the Sunnah so important?
Allah, glorified and exalted, has revealed the Holy Qur'an for us. But to teach us how to put the Qur'an into practice, what Allah wants, and how to worship, Allah sent the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
That is to say, the Qur'an is the word of Allah, and the Prophet ﷺ has given us its practical teachings.
As the Qur'an commands the performance of prayer, we learn from the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ how to pray, how many rak'ahs, and what to recite.
The Qur'an mentions zakat, fasting, and Hajj, but the Prophet ﷺ taught us how to perform them.
In the Holy Qur'an, Allah says
“Indeed, the Messenger of Allah is an excellent example for you.”
Surah Al-Ahzab 33:21
In the Holy Qur'an, Allah further says
“Accept what the Messenger gives you, and refrain from what he forbids.”
Surah Al-Hashr 59:7
He also said
“If you love Allah, then follow me, and Allah will love you.”
Say, "O people of the Scripture, do not go beyond the limits in your religion, and do not follow the desires of a people who have gone astray before."
What is the benefit of following the Sunnah?
- God's love can be found.
- The deeds are beautiful and complete.
- Blessings come in life.
- You can earn rewards even for small deeds.
- On the Day of Judgment, one can draw close to the Prophet ﷺ.
Remember
The Qur'an and Sunnah together show the complete path of Islam. It's not enough to read the Qur'an alone; you must also learn how the Prophet ﷺ lived according to it.
The more we follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the more we will be able to walk on the right path of Islam, insha'Allah.
May Allah grant us all the ability to live according to the Qur'an and Sunnah. Amen.
1. Saying “Bismillah” before starting work.
