[ < 1 min read ]

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

Sunnah (Arabic: سنة‎) are the traditions and practices of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w that constitute a model for Muslims to follow. The sunnah is what all Muslims of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w’s time saw, followed, and passed on to the next generation. The sunnah is documented by hadith (the verbally transmitted record of the teachings, deeds and sayings, silent permissions or disapprovals of Muhammad s.a.w.), and along with the Al-Quran, are the divine revelation delivered through Muhammad s.a.w. that make up the primary sources of Islamic law and belief and theology.
