Adopt the Sunnah





Hazrat Anas (ra) reports that Rasoolullah (saws) advised "Whoever cherishes my Sunnah, indeed he cherishes me and whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah."

[Tirmidhi]

Explanation: As Muslims, it's our belief that every Sunnah of our beloved Nabi (saws) is filled with blessings of Allah Ta'ala. It was for this reason that Allah (Swt) granted the Shaabah (rd) and Muhadditheen capabilities required to preserve the Sunnah. Alhamdulillah a large amount of authentic literature is available in which the blessed Sunnah of Rasoolullah (saws) is preserved to this day for the follower to adopt and implement in his life.

In another hadith, Rasoolullah (saws) said, "He who holds firm to my Sunnah when corruption is rampant in my Ummah will attain the reward of a hundred martyrs." [Al-Bayhaqi]

The Sunnah of Rasoolullah (saws) is not restricted to acts or places of worship only. Instead, it is comprehensive and covers all aspects and situations of life such as one's social and moral conduct, business dealings, his dressing etc. It also applies to all places whether the Masjid, business place, the home or even while one is on a journey to any far off land. In every situation, one must draw guidance from the lifestyle of Rasoolullah (saws) thereby turning everyday habits into acts of worship.
