TIPS TO FOLLOW SUNNAh in the
21 century
st
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was sent by Allah (SWT) as a mercy to the worlds,
so that we may be guided to Allah (SWT) and achieve eternal happiness, just
by following his example. The best part is, the life and practices of our beloved
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) are by their very nature extremely easy to implement!
Why should we follow the Sunnah? Following the Sunnah in the 21st Century
The benefits and importance of following the Sunnah
are clearly outlined in this verse of the Qur’an: With our lives being so far distanced from the
Prophet’s (SAW) (both in time and location), it can be
difficult to see how implementing his example can
be easy. Here are 5 practical ways to incorporate the
Sunnah into your life:
“Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If you (really) love
Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you
your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
[Qur’an: Chapter 3, Verse 31]
If that isn’t enough to motivate us to follow our
beloved Prophet’s (SAW) way of life, Allah (SWT) tells
also us in a hadith Qudsi:
“…My servant draws not near to Me with anything
more loved by Me than the religious duties I have
enjoined upon him. And My servant continues to
draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that
I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing
with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees,
his hand with which he strikes and his foot with
which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me,
I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me
for refuge, I would surely grant him it…” [Bukhar
