Adopt the Sunnah


                                                            Adopt the Sunnah !!

Hazrat Anas (RaziAllahu Anhu) reports that RasoolUllah (Sallallahu Alahi wasallam) advised " Whoever cherishes my Sunnah, indeed he cherishes me and whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah " (Tirmidhi)

Explanation: As Muslim, its our belief that every Sunnah of our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alahi wasallam) is filled with blessing of Allah Ta'ala. It was for this reason that Allah swt granted the Sahabah R.Z and Muhadditheen capabilities required to preserve the Sunnah. Alhamdulillah a large amount of authentic literature is available in which the blessed Sunnah of RasoolUllah (Sallallahu Alahi wasallam)  is preserved to this day of the follower to adopt and implement in his life.

In another Hadith, Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alahi wasallam) 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 (Sallallahu Alahi wasallam) 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 (Sallallahu Alahi wasallam) thereby turning everyday habits into acts of worship.
