[quote][blue]If we study how a common Muslim learns to offer daily prayers, we would
immediately know that when he is born, or converted, he finds that daily prayers are being offered in the community by a large number of people. Even those who do not pray do know the formal method to pray. A young Muslim or a new entrant to this faith learns how to offer his daily prayers from the society – from his elders and teachers. He does not learn about the method and procedure of this mandatory
worship from books on history or H~adith.[/blue]

[green]This is perfectly in line with the wishes of God and his Prophet (sws).[/green]

[red]The Holy Prophet (sws) did not make any arrangements for recording his sayings.[/red]

[purple]He only ensured that two things should be preserved and communicated:
• The body of words and sounds contained in the Holy Qur’an
• The body of practices constituting the Sunnah[/purple]

[blue]And it is within these two that the entire Islam is preserved. Islam like most of other religions consists of two components – beliefs and practices. The beliefs have been succinctly stated in the Holy Qur’an while the practices are embodied
in the Sunnah.[/blue]

[orange]According to the Muslim ideology, if we want to find out the Sunan, we should
look for them in the traditions and practices of Muslim Ummah and not in the
books of history.[/orange]

contd next: Do Muslim Sects disagree over the [i]Sunnah?[/i][/quote]
