"And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, leave it." [Qur'an 59:7]
The arabic word "Sunnah" denotes the way Prophet Muhammad (saas), the Messenger of
Allah, lived his life. The "Sunnah" is the second source of
Islamic jurisprudence, the first being the Qur'an. Both
sources are indispensable; one cannot practice Islam
without consulting both of them.
The Arabic word "Hadith" is a narration about the life of the Prophet (saas) or what he approved.
