The Importance of Following the Sunnah in Islam

The Importance of the Sunnah

• The Qur'an deals with broad principles and essentials of religion, but lacks detailed explanations in some cases.
• The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) provides the necessary details through his practices and explanations.

The Role of the Prophet in Explaining Religious Institutions

• The prayer (Salah) and purifying dues (Zakat) are important religious institutions in Islam.
• The Qur'an provides the general command to establish prayer (Qur'an 24:43), but the Prophet himself explained the details of its performance.
• The revelations from Allah to the Prophet, facilitated by Angel Jibreel, are a source of the Sunnah.

The Necessity of the Sunnah

• A man who claimed that the Sunnah is not necessary and the Qur'an is sufficient was labeled as "stupid".
• The example of the prayer is cited, where the Qur'an doesn't specify the number of rak'ats (units of prayer) or recitation, highlighting the need for the Sunnah to provide these details.
