THE ARABIC WORD SUNNAH REFERS TO GOD’S SUNNAH AND NEVER AS THE PROPHET’S SUNNAH
The only Sunna to follow shall be God’s Sunna. [17:77, 33:62, 48:23, 6:114]
“Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbour any doubt.” 6:114
“This has been consistently the case with all the messengers that we sent before you, and you will find that our system (Sunnah) never changes.” 17:77
“This is GOD’s eternal system (Sunnah), and you will find that GOD’s system (Sunnah) is unchangeable.” 33:62
“Such is GOD’s system (Sunnah) throughout history, and you will find that GOD’s system (Sunnah) is unchangeable.” 48:23
Nowhere in the Quran it mentions Muhammad’s Sunnah. Muhammad followed the religion of Abraham, Quran teaches us in no uncertain terms that Abraham is the founder of Islam as it is practiced today.
“Your ONLY mission (O Muhammed) is to deliver (Quran), while it is we who will call them to account.” 13:40
“You (O Muhammed) have no duty EXCEPT delivering (Quran).” 42:48
“The messenger has no function EXCEPT delivering (Quran)…” 5:99
Abraham was the first recipient of the concept of Islam as a prasctice, and the first to call us Muslims.
” You shall strive for the cause of GOD as you should strive for His cause. He has chosen you and has placed no hardship on you in practicing your religion – the religion of your father Abraham. He is the one who named you “Muslims” originally. Thus, the
messenger shall serve as a witness among you, and you shall serve as witnesses among the people. Therefore, you shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and hold fast to GOD; He is your Lord, the best Lord and the best Supporter.” 22:78
“Abraham was neither Jewish , nor Christian; he was a monotheist; a Muslim; he never was an idol-worshiper. The people most worthy of following Abraham are those who follow him and this prophet (Muhammed), and those who believed. God is the Lord of the believers.” 3:67-68
“Then we inspired you (O Muhammed) to follow the religion of Abraham, monotheism; never was he an idol-worshiper.” 16:123
Logically, if Muhammed was a follower of Abraham, and we are followers of Muhammed, then we are followers of Abraham. What did we learn from Abraham ??? The Quran teaches us that we learned ALL THE RELIGIOUS PRACTICES of Islam from Abraham. The whole Arabian society before and during the time of Muhammed had many followers of the religion of Abraham.
“…..Their SALAT PRAYERS at the shrine were no more than deceit and repulsion. …”
In Sura 73, after the revelation of the Quran, 73:20 is telling the Muslims to observe the SALAT and Zakat. Does it make sense that God would issue a commandment to observe something not already known.???
“……and observe the SALAT and ZAKAT, and lend God a loan of righteousness. Whatever you advance for your souls, you will find at God better and multiplied manyfold…..” 73:20
