Ahmed Hamed – What Are The Sources Of Islamic Knowledge

			Welcome to the program, Islam insight, a very special series essentially dedicated for a new Muslim
brothers and sisters, how do we commit ourselves to gain knowledge regarding Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him like to know is he just compulsory for him? Somebody told me that a Muslim is not
allowed to have relationship with a non Muslim knowledge revives the spirit of Islam.
		

			Can you have the question from you better? A Salaam Alaikum alaikum. Salaam,
		

			Brother, what are the sources of Islamic knowledge?
		

			What are the sources of Islamic knowledge in Islam? You see, Islam is a religion is a way of life.
And the last panel to Allah has blessed us with the Koran as a manual for us to live. And an example
a practical example of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him to follow to emulate and to copy. In
Islam, essentially, there are two sources of knowledge. Number one is the Quran. And two is the
Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him. Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran,
in Surah, Ibrahim surah, number 14. And number one, at least number
		

			this is the Book which We have revealed to you or Mohammed is the one so that you may take people
from darkness to light. So Allah shows the purpose why Quran was revealed, it has been sent down so
that Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and take people from darkness to light. That's the purpose.
So essentially, the source for the Muslim oma, which all the Muslims unanimously have the consensus
is number one, or the primary one is the Buddhist Koran. That's the main source. The second source
is the authentic teachings of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Allah Subhana Allah
has favored us a lot and blessed us with the life and example of Prophet Muhammad peace be wanting a
		

			lot of my disease into the sewer number 33 and 21 love for the governor la comme si rasulillah he
was voted the best example for you, for all of us to follow is in the life of Prophet Muhammad,
peace and blessings be one and Alhamdulillah
		

			the teachings of Prophet Muhammad peace be binding is also preserved. And he is also recorded so
widely, that we do not find a single way of life single aspect of life that we do not see a guide
from
		

			everything from cradle to grave, we see that it is there in the Quran, and a deeper explanation in
the life of Prophet Muhammad peace be one. So these are the two essential elements that you need to
make sure these are the two primary sources to gain knowledge and hamdulillah. Both of them are
authentic, perfect and preserved. Furthermore, you need to also realize that there are other
authentic literature based on the Quran and the authentic teachings of Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him, that you can gain the knowledge from this supplementary knowledge that you can actually
understand, like for example, the scene, if you want to know the interpretation, the deeper meaning
		

			of one ayah you can go back to the Tafseer the interpretation or the meanings of the rules for art
and the most authentic of all which again the Muslim Ummah has unanimous agreement is the field of
Nicosia. You see, this is the Tafseer which helps you to understand the Ayat of Allah Subhana Allah,
essentially, because it is in the Quran, taught by Muhammad peace be upon him and understood by the
companions of Muhammad Sallallahu. The best framework that you need to understand Islam with regards
to his sources is that you need to first follow the Koran, teachings of Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him. And keep in mind the understanding of Sahaba the companions of Prophet Muhammad, peace be
		

			one and that's how you basically empower and learn the essential
		

			Sources of Islam. So, as Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said, I am leaving, I am leaving two
things behind you
		

			two things, he was very specific to things. If we stick to these two things, we will never be
misguided, right? And he said, the Koran and my example, my son, so a person if he would like to be
		

			in terms of living Islam, from the authentic sources, he must go back to the roots and that is the
Koran and the teachings of Muhammad peace be upon him as a supplementary source. He may refer to the
Farsi the interpretations and the other authentic Islamic literature, which does not contradict with
the Quran, and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad peace. Hope that answers your question. We have a
question from you, this brother but how do we commit ourselves to gain knowledge? Yeah, this is
panela is a is a million dollar question. How do we commit ourselves to knowledge we see when we
know knowledge is important we understand and realize that we have to gain knowledge
