“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
The Sunnah: The Practice and Lifestyle of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Ita’at-Ur-Rasul ﷺ Obedience to the Messenger (ﷺ)
‘He who chose the path contrary to the Prophet’s ﷺ will never reach his destination.”
the revival of the Islamic millat (community) is impossible without complete submission and obedience to the Holy Prophet ﷺ. But this can be achieved only when, in respect of faith (iman), action, morals and behaviour, the Muslim becomes a walking specimen of the Holy Prophet’s ﷺ good example, and his life becomes a practical interpretation of the Quran – as that of a true believer (mumin) .
There are two things in Islam: the Book and the Sunnah.
In short, the thing that is necessary for a Muslim’s success and spiritual perfection is the Prophetic Sunnah.
The Prophetic Sunnah is in fact an explanation and description of Allah’s Book.
Allah Most High says: – “And we have revealed unto thee the Remembrance that thou mayst explain to mankind that which hath been revealed for them, and that happily they may reflect.” (16/44) .
In the holy Quran there are commandments regarding ablution (wuzu), bathing (ghusl), prayer (salat), fasting (saum), surplus- wealth tax (zakat), pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj), recitation of blessings for the Prophet (Durud), invocation (dua), remembrance of Allah (zikr), and similarly, marriage (nikah), divorce, sale and purchase, morals and social life, national politics and settlement of quarrels and litigation. In short, all the religious commandments are present in it in absolute form, stated in a concise manner. But the explanation of these commandments and the details of their minutiae have been given by the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Hence to follow and obey him is to follow and obey Allah.
“Whose obeyeth the messenger obeyeth Allah” (4/80).
Obedience to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and conformance to his acts is as much necessary after him as it was during his auspicious lifetime.
“I have left two things amongst you. As long as you keep them grasped firmly, you will not go astray. (They are) Allah’s Book and my Sunnah.” (Jame Bayan al-Ilm, with ref. to Mustadrik)
The Holy Prophet ﷺ had brought a complete and perfect religion in the world.
There is a tradition in the Abu Da’ud Sharif, that a Jew sarcastically inquired of Hazrat Salman Farsi: “Your prophet has taught you the manners of istinja (washing or cleaning the private parts after easing nature) He replied: “Yes, yes. He has taught us not to use less than three clods for instinja and has forbidden us to use the right hand for this work and has also forbidden the use of dung and bones for it. ” The point is that Hazrat Salman Farsi ra took pride before that Jew upon the comprehensiveness of the Holy Prophet’s ﷺ teachings even to include etiquette of convenience.
“And if ye have a dispute concerning a matter, refer it to Allah and the messenger if ye are (in truth) believers in Allah and the Last Day.” (4/59)
Meaning that if any dispute arises in any matter, one should refer it to Allah, i.e. to the Book of Allah and the Prophet’s ﷺ Sunnah.
Lo! Those who oppose Allah and His messenger, they will be among the lowest…58/20
Verily it is I and My Messengers who shall be victorious. ….(58/20)
“He who shuns my sunnah – turns his face from them – he has had no connection with me.”
“Those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned” (26/227)
He who complied with him complied with Allah undoubtedly and he who disobeyed him disobeyed Allah undoubtedly.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
