> Discarding the Sunnah


> Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Let me not find one
> of you, reclining on his couch, when he hears something regarding wh

> und in Allah's Book we have followed.’ [Abu Daud]
>
> This is a good description of the casual attitude with which some
> Muslims, unfortunately, discard the Sunnah of our Prophet (sal
> Allahu alaihi wasallam). Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) repeatedly links
> obedience of Allah to obedience of His Messenger. Allah (subhana wa
> ta’ala) says: “And whoever obeys the Messenger, thereby obeys
> Allah.” (41:80) and “Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it,
> and whatever he forbids you, refrain from it.” (59:7) Innumerable ay
> aat of the Quran itself condemn having a ‘Quran only’ approach.
> To divorce the Sunnah from Islam is to render Islam ineffective. For
>  example, the Quran says to pray but without the Sunnah how would we
>  know how to pray?
