In The Name Of Allah, The Most High, The Most Gracious, The Most
Merciful. All Praise is due to Allah The Most High, The Creator, The
Provider. He has no Partners, and is in no need of any. He is Alone; He made
the Heavens and the Earth. He knows what was before time, what is present
and what is after. He shows the straight path to whosoever He wishes, and
whoever He chooses to bless. He makes them the best among the best. O Allah,
send salutations on our Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace),
who is the last and final Messenger. After him there will be no Prophets to
come until the Day of Judgement.
What is the Sunnah?
Linguistically, Sunnah is an Arabic word which means a path or a way.
However, Islaamically, it is a primary source of law taken from the sayings,
actions and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him). As
Muslims we believe that the law Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him)
came with, is a divine revelation from our Creator, Allaah. However many
people believe that the Qur'aan is the only form of divine revelation, as it is the
literal word of Allaah; This view is incorrect as it contradicts the Qur'aan
itself. About the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him), Allaah says: “Your
companion (Muhammad) is neither astray nor being misled. Nor does he speak
of his own desire. It is (only) the revelation with which he is inspired” (Surah
An-Najm 53:2-4).
Thus as Muslims, we are required to believe that the Qur'aan and Sunnah go
hand in hand together as our sources of legislated law. Both are revelation from
almighty Allaah, the most High. The Qur'aan is composed of the actual words
of almighty Allaah, whereas the Sunnah is expressed through the words,
actions and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him). Another
difference is that the Qur'aan is recited formally in the prayers whereas the
Sunnah is not.
