Keeping To The Sunnah.

[Abu Fauzi]

As-Salaam alaikum,
The Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:--

"Let me not find one of you, reclining on his couch, when he hears something regarding
what I have commanded or forbidden saying: 'We do not know. What we find in Allah's
Book we have followed'. [Abu Dawud].

This is a good reminder against today's casual attitude with which some Muslims, unfortunately, discard the Sunnah of our Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. Allahu, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, repeatedly links obedience of Allah to obedience of His Messenger. Allah says: "And whoever obeys the Messenger, thereby obeys Allah"-(4:80) and "Whatever the Messenger gives you take it, and whatever he forbids you, refrain from it."(59:7)... there are many Ayats of the Holy Qur'an itself condemning having a 'Qur'an only' approach.

To divorce the Sunnah from Islam is to render Islam ineffective..... for example, the Qur'an directs us to pray, but without the Sunnah how do would we know how to pray? The Qur'an directs us to pay/give Zakkat, without the Sunnah, how would we know what and/or how would we calculate the amount in giving the Zakkat??

:wa: this hadith is related to warn hadith rejecters.

I honestly do not see why there are people who even reject sunnah..the examples you give are perfect, yes pray but how..etc.

Yet they are out there.. :facepalm:
