Muiz Bukhary – Words from the Quran and the Sunnah #04 – As-Sunnah

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato Bismillah Ar Rahman AR Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil
alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam. We begin by
praising Allah azza wa jal, the Exalted the Almighty, the majestic and we asked him to send his
choicest of blessings and salutations upon our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi
wasalam his family members, his companions and all those who tread upon his path with utmost
sincerity until the day of karma, words from the Quran and the Sunnah. I welcome you to this
beautiful series during the blessed month of Ramadan, where we hope to pick and choose words from
		

			the Quran and from the Sunnah of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And we attempt to unpack these
words as much as possible did using as many lessons as possible in a move to gain a better
understanding of these words. So, the beautiful and noble word for today's episode is the word
asuna, a tsunami in the Arabic language. So, as is our practice across these episodes, and generally
this is what I attempt to do, when it comes to powerful words of this nature.
		

			You will see when you go through the books of Hadith, through the classical books of faith, scholars
lemma, follow a similar style when it comes to defining words they will go on to discuss the literal
definition, otherwise known as the lower than definition, and then they would go on to discuss the
Sharron definition, the technical definition. So, this particular word asuna, literally, it stems My
dear brothers, my dear sisters from sunnen in the Arabic language, which can be defined as pareek in
the Arabic language, you might be familiar with the word toric, which basically means road path,
pathway,
		

			away basically, so it could be you see, it can be translated
		

			or understood rather the word road or way can be understood in its literal sense and even that can
be understood in its metaphorical sense. So for example, in English, you would say a way of life. So
there are two the same word is used way. But now here in the
		

			literal sense, before we get into the technical definition,
		

			of Jani, it can be
		

			a pathway, it's generally used for any kind of fat, any kind of road or any kind of way, regardless
of whether it is a praiseworthy way or a blameworthy way. Now, when we get into the sharen
definition, you will see that we are being pretty specific, but here literally it has a more broader
understanding and this is established when we go through the ahaadeeth like the one record in the
book of Imam Al Bukhari, Rahim Allah
		

			And besides the Lucha de rhodiola, one on one interview sallallahu alayhi wa sallam call the
prophets that alone widely read them. So, side by side the Hydra the Allahu anhu he narrates the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, that you will follow
		

			Sanjana mannkind publikum you will follow the veils of those before you all Chevron Chevron where
they are on B there are in you will follow them. In other words, there are ways the nation's before
you spend by spend and qubit by qubit had the low the hollow Hydra bobbin so much that even if they
were to enter a hole of a
		

			lizard, a spiny tailed lizard, you would follow them into that hole and then the Sahaba with one
little Halima Jemaine, will be the Prophet sallallahu Sallam at that juncture listen to the Hadith
of the Prophet. They went on to say Yo, rasulillah
		

			Allahu Akbar nosara. Are you talking about the Yehuda nesara to which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam responded, saying whom else who else am I talking about? You will follow them so much to
the extent that even if they were to go into the hole of a lizard, you would attempt to follow them
into that as well. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us a better understanding. I mean, so here My
dear brothers and sisters, you see the same word being used senate and hear it's not necessarily in
a praiseworthy context. It's being spoken about in a blameworthy context. Similarly, you have
another Hadith that has been recorded the book of Imam Muslim Rahim Allah, man, Sunnah Phil Islami
		

			so Nathan has center for all melebihi rabada whoa cootie Bella who miss Lou agilely Manami levy
hawala Yun kusumi oh god him shake. So the one who establishes some good practice in the deen and if
it was to be followed after him, bye
		

			He would be assured of reward like the one who followed it without their rewards being diminished in
any respect. So if one were to establish a good practice, the understanding of the head is one word,
establish a good practice. And if you have people after this individual following this individual in
continuing the good practice, now this individual who established the practice would keep accruing
rewards without the rewards of those who are practicing it after him being diminished in any way.
Look at the generosity of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Now coming back to what we were trying to point
out, the Hadith continues and now the prophets Allah Islam says woman sudden nephele Islam is sooner
		

			than say,
		

			for ami Libya by the Hootie by Allah He myth Lu was ramanamma, Bihar Well, I and kusumi ozeri him
che and the one who establishes some evil practice, which has been followed now subsequently by
others, he would be required to bear the burden like that of one who followed this evil practice
without there's being diminished in any respect. So just as how you have an individual accruing good
deeds, when establishing something good if you were to establish something bad and if people were to
go on to continue the sin, to continue the evil, the Wise the transgression, Allah, Allah, may Allah
protect us. This individual who established this evil and bad thing would continue to accrue
		

			sin, may Allah protect us all. So as you can see, the word sonet is used. When you're when you're
talking about its literal definition, it's used in praiseworthy contexts. It's also used in
blameworthy contexts. So I hope we've established clarity with regards to his literal definition.
Now moving on to its shery definition. So Chara, and technically,
		

			the scholars of Hadith, Allah, Allah, Allah Hadith, the scholars of Hadith, they define Sunnah and I
want you all to pay close attention. Now. The scholars of Hadith they define sooner to be
		

			the whole of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam acquire Luna be set along widely when he was
alum, a file on Nabi sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam and then the career of the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam and you also have
		

			safer, safer, healthier, healthier, and you have the Sierra, all of this encompasses when you say
sooner. The term Sunnah is an umbrella term that encompasses and covers are called the statements of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, a file the actions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam, and then the career the approvals of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And then you
have so far, the outside of the, the attributes of the profit Be it healthier, healthier, meaning
you would have the outwardly appearance related descriptive descriptions and descriptive features
that are in place with regard to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And similarly, you would
		

			have
		

			narrations that talk about the the mannerisms of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the inward
attributes of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and then you have also the Syrah of the Prophet
discussing the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam included into the term so now, so this
is how the aroma, scholars of Hadith define the term so now when you say so now you are including
all these areas, the statements of the Prophet, and that would be the Hadith of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam know for example the prophets Allah isms reporter have said in dermal
armor lupini yet, that your actions are based upon your intentions or let's take a shorter Hadith of
		

			the Prophet Allah Islam. His report draft said, mean Hosni Islam ilmari dar kumala Jani. It is from
the son of the Islam of an individual it is from the excellence of the Islam of an individual that
he or she leaves that which does not concern that individual have powerful, very concise and short
words that carry a lot of meaning very deep and powerful lessons that can be deduced. So these come
under aquarell the statements of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then you have a file the
actions of the prophets of Allah Islam now for example, the Prophet salaallah Islam his report
proves it so low comma right to Munoz only pray as you have seen me praying and then the Prophet
		

			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went on to demonstrate and show us how to pray. For example, with
regards to Hajj with regards to amaravati the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, Who do I need Manasa
come take your rituals from me. So we learned the rituals of Hajj, the rituals of Rama from the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he performed it and showed it to us so we follow suit. So these
are all what actions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And then you have the approval of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Now there were junctures where the Prophet did not
explicitly say things do or don't do, nor did the Prophet sallallahu Sallam at times indulge in
		

			action, but rather, the Prophet would have remained quiet and
		

			approved matter
		

			approved of a matter and by the prophet being quiet about it, because it is the responsibility of
the Prophet, if it was something to be prohibited, then he would have gone on to prohibited he would
have very clearly prohibited the thing.
		

			So, if he has not prohibited here, if he has not stopped the individuals around him from doing it,
then that indicates that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam has granted his approval, even if the Prophet
did not indulge or do whatever was done at that particular juncture. So, here what is deduced is
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam has approved of it. So, therefore, it is something that
can be done being permissible.
		

			Similarly, now, you have the sofa The,
		

			the descriptions of the professor allow value added and this is also considered something that comes
into the sooner the terms the outwardly appearance related
		

			descriptive features that are in place and similarly you have narrations you have the Sahaba
describing the temperament of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam the mannerisms of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam what a humble individual he was, with regards to how he controlled his anger with
regards to how he spoke with regards to how we interacted with others with regards to how he
socialized with others. So, you have all of these that are narrated about the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam and they are all brought under the umbrella term. So now and then you have Sera,
		

			you have the seer of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that is also included under the term
Suna by the scholars of Hadith. Now you have a definition put forth by the Holy Yun the scholars who
are involved in a soul you understand so you have also Old Faithful for example, you have also had
the youth. So the scholars who are involved in school, they define the word Suna as man okay Allah
and in Nabi sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam and Colin are filling out a career in a very concise
definition. They say. Sunnah is basically whatever has been transmitted to us from the prophets or
whatever has been transmitted to us with regards to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from his
		

			statements, his actions and his approvals. That's it. Now the fuqaha you have the jurists, the
scholars of faith, they define the term Sunnah as Martha better Annie Nabi sallallahu, alayhi wa
sallam min Hawaii, if they are all.
		

			So they define Suna as whatever has been established from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam,
without a sense of obligation being put on top of it. So how they look at the terms on now is for
example, if you take
		

			apart the prayer, I think that would be a good example. Take Serato
		

			so now so a lot of
		

			the obligatory prayer.
		

			It's obligatory and the definition of thought is that if you leave it, if you do it you are
rewarded, if you leave it then you are sinning. You have we all have to pray, right we can't let go
of our Salah. Now the Sunnah, with regards to
		

			now this they will define it as being a Sunnah. As in there is no sense of if there aren't, there is
no sense of it being obligatory. If you do it, then yes, it's, it's a sooner and you are rewarded.
But if one were to leave it, then they're not going to be sitting in this regard. So this is how the
fuqaha define the terms. So now so as we proceed, because this is a very important topic, and
there's a lot to be covered, and we're going to try and do as much as possible in this episode in
sha Allah, a very important point needs to be established the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam go hand in hand. Now this point needs to be clearly established, because
		

			today there are attempts being made to discount the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam due to all kinds of ulterior motives May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us all. So the Quran
very very clearly outlines the importance of the Sunnah of the Prophet Allah Islam the importance of
the role of the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would you mentioned if you if
Eliza Virgil, he says in the Noble Quran, my neuter ear Rasool Allah, the One who obeys the
messenger has obeyed Allah in another place, Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, Yeah, I knew Halla,
Dina, Manu artinian long our lt o Rasool, all you who believe or you who have brought in a man or to
		

			Allah, obey Allah, wa or to Russell and obey the messenger. In another place, Eliza Virgil, he says
womma como raso NOFA Whoa, whoa, man, hancom nine who found the hole? What
		

			Long in long hair shadie don't lie for wama attack como la Soto. So whatever the messenger gives you
take it,
		

			or whatever the messenger brings you, then take it, woman Haku and often Tahoe, and whatever he
forbids you from then abstain from it. So whatever he forbids you, you need to abstain. So, as you
can see, it's very clear in these ahaadeeth the teachings of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
the role that the Prophet played. You see, when you take a certain commandments in the Koran, Allah
azza wa jal For example, He says, to establish prayer of a masala right. But now with regards to how
you're supposed to establish prayer, and this is why the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was sent to educate us to teach us with regards to the deen of Allah azza wa jal. This is how
		

			you're supposed to pray and that's where Salah will come out or eight ammonia or sonic, sonic comes
about. Pray as you have seen me praying. The Quran tells us to establish the pilgrimage but how are
we to do the pilgrimage? What are the rituals? How are we to perform the rituals? The Prophet
sallallahu Sallam now comes in and teaches us hoodoo aneema Nasik take your rituals with regards to
the pilgrimage from me. Now we learned the rituals from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam if
not for the sooner if not for the
		

			teachings of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam that serves as a guiding light for us we will be
groping in the darkness May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us all. So as you can see, these ayat
very clearly established the importance of having to go to the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. Allah says for internetseiten vishay in Allah He wanted us all in quantum took me
noona Billa he will your Mill Valley, cahaya danika hirundo Asada and if you disagree over anything,
then refer it to Allah and the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if you should believe
in Allah and the Last Day, rally kaha you don't realize that is the best way and the best in in in
		

			resort. Now we have certain a Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that clearly you know educate
us, admonish us and warn us, for example, the Hadith that has been recorded in the book of
Deuteronomy the or himolla, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is reporter have said,
		

			I do not want to see any one of you reclining on his couch. And when he hears of my instructions, or
prohibitions, he says, I don't accept it. We don't find any such thing in the Quran. So as you can
see my dear brothers and sisters in Islam, this is a very, very serious matter there are other
narrations as well.
		

			Everybody been Satya radi Allahu Allah, one who he reports to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam his report to have said, Would any of you think reclining on his couch that Allah would only
describe what is forbidden in the Quran. I tell you by Allah, Allah He by Allah that I have warned
and commanded and prohibited the things that are as important as what is in the Quran, if not more
so.
		

			The prophets that alone while he was selling them, many brothers and sisters in Islam was sent
		

			with a responsibility to educate us to teach us.
		

			So he said a long while he was selling them his teachings. His sooner is of utmost importance. And a
true believer, an individual who loves the Messenger of Allah Salah Salem, who loves the lives of a
gel will not attempt to discount the Sunnah of His Beloved Prophet, the beloved prophet of Allah
subhanho wa Taala.
		

			We have another Hadith where the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is reputed to have said, We are urban
Saudi out of the Allahu anhu. Again he says the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam led us in
prayer one day, then he turned to us and he exhorted us strongly and he said pay attention to my
son. And then the way of the rightly guided halifa after me, adhere to it and hold fast onto it.
Allahu Akbar, me Allah subhanho wa Taala help us all to adhere to the Sunnah of the Prophet
salallahu Islam and holdfast on to the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		

			you see that Hadith?
		

			It's a beautiful narration about even Saudi Arabia Allah one who he says a wild Ana Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Manuel buatan belia whatever word you let mean Hello kulu without effort
mean Hello Yun, the Messenger of Allah Allah Islam he delivered a very eloquent hotbar a sermon, an
account of which eyes shed tears and hearts were were trembling. What did that mean? Hello kulu
hearts were trembling with verifique mean Hello Yun and eyes were shedding tears and then it was
said they basically went on to say Rasul Allah, or messenger of Allah. This is as if it is a
farewell advice. It is almost like this is a farewell sermon and then the Prophet
		

			For a long while he when he was lm he admonishes them he advises them OC, OC can be taqwa Allah. I
admonish you to be mindful of Allah to bring in taqwa to be conscious of allies of a gel. And then
he said a long while, he was a mentor and he said, I admonish you to listen and obey, even if an
Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader because whosoever amongst you shall live after me first
a rock the life and Kathy are or he shall see a lot of if they laugh, he will see a lot of
difference of opinion a lot of discord if you will file a commissioner t. So then hold fast to my
Asana and Asana talofa Rashid in Alma de and hold on to the sooner of the rightly guided hold of
		

			how do I have been awarded hold on to it fast and the words that I use here is you know, bite onto
it with your teeth hold on to it really fast. And then the professor lays him he goes on to say what
year come beware of the title or more beware of new things in the dean for in a cool lobby data in a
bola because every innovation every bidder in the deen is a misguidance May Allah subhanho wa Taala
protect us all from misguidance I mean,
		

			my dear brothers and sisters in Islam
		

			I'm going to conclude this episode by touching on this is Allah subhanho wa Taala he says in the
number one
		

			pull in quantum to hipbone Allah Fabiani, you may be como la salle Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam tell them if you love Allah, if you claim to love Allah for your oni then follow me. You're
bibble como la jolla Villa condo Nova
		

			and then what are you going to get in return Allah in love you were Phil la comme de Nova calm and
your sins will be forgiven while la hula for Rahim Allah is the most forgiving, the Most Merciful.
		

			So, my dear brothers and sisters, this idea can be understood as the test of love. You can claim to
love Allah. But you need to prove it by following the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam.
		

			If you say you love Allah, then look at your life. Look at how much
		

			are you following the messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? How much? Are you following
him with regards to how he lived his life? How much are you following him with regards to how he
conducted himself? How much are you following with regards to how he interacted with people? How he
spoke to people with regards to his heart with regards to what he would think about people good
thoughts. He was a kind individual, a caring individuals, individual, we know that he was a generous
individual. So how generous are you? We know that he was an individual who controlled his anger. So
how far do you control your anger? We know that he was an individual who would not lie. So how much
		

			do you hold on to the truth and truthfulness? He we know that he was an individual who would not
back by it who would not get gossip. So ask yourself, How much do you stay away from backbiting from
gossiping? May Allah protect us all? We know that he was an individual who was kind to children, how
kind are you to children, we know that he was an individual who was kind to the animals, How kind of
you to animals, we know that he was an individual who was an environmentalist, by nature.
		

			You know, where he he encouraged the planting of trees, he encouraged the looking after of the
planet. This is a huge blessing of Allah subhanho wa Taala the the the conservation of the resources
that we have such as saving water, not wasting water. We know that he was an individual who was not
stingy. So all of these things My dear brothers and sisters, you need to benchmark your life with
this beautiful role model called the Cadillac computer su de la he was veteran hustler. And ask
yourself if you love Allah, if you love Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and how much of his
life have you brought in into your life? And isn't? It's a work in progress? But are you working on
		

			it? That's the question. That's the question.
		

			So that's why this idea is understood as the test of love. If you truly love Allah, then you need to
follow Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, study about his life, learn his life, learn from his
son and follow Him sal Allahu Allahu Allah sent them.
		

			And if you do that, my dear brother, my dear sister, you are assuring yourself of victory and
success in this world as well as the hereafter. With that I conclude this episode man, Allah
subhanho wa Taala just as how he united us across these platforms, may he unite us many more times.
		

			In the future and may He unite us in the beautiful and lofty garden of Jenna in the beautiful
company of Mohammed salvaterra. Viva salaamu la. I mean, I mean why, why Haddad hamdulillahi Rabbil
