[quote]DEAR SISTER Saadia Malik:[i]As-Salaamu `Alaykum[/i]. Thank you for the clarification about sanctity and position of the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad [i]([u]s[/u]allallaahu `alayhi wa sallam[/i]) in learning and practicing Teachings of Islaam. Unfortunately I have found, through course of my life, that many Muslims (including myself) exposed only to the secular education system inherited from our colonial rulers of the past, forget that [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem [/i] was not revealed as a book alone but was sent along with a Messenger [i]([u]s[/u]allallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) [/i] who had adapted his life according to its injunctions. Therefore, not only that text of [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem [/i] has to be understood as explained by the Prophet Muhammad [i]([u]s[/u]allallaahu `alayhi wa sallam[/i]) but the supplemental instructions given, or the acts done, by him also have to be given the same sanctity as the text of [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem [/i]. Because of our lack of education in the Islaamic Teachings we often forget that the principles and edicts of general applicability interspesred at the various places in [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem [/i] are required to be kept in mind for all situations and their meanings, or applicabilty, should not be restricted to the specific situation for which a particular [i]Aayah[/i] of [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem [/i] was revealed. I may quote the following two examples from [i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem [/i] as illusratration of my point that is relevant to the subject matter of this discussion: Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah. [[i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem [/i]:33:21] ... And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal. [[[i]Al-Quraan-ul-Kareem [/i]: [url="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/033.qmt.html"]33:21[/url]]] Therefore, please do not get offended by my remarks as these were mainly caused by my own keenness to share my experience with my younger brothers and sisters in Faith ([i]Al-Islaam[/i]) so that they may not commit the same mistake as was done by me through most of my earlier life due, firstly, to lack of formal education in [i]Deen-ul-Islaam[/i] and, secondly, but more importantly, due to lack of my keennes to seek guidance from the competent and pious experts in [i]Uloom-ud-Deen-i-Islaam[/i]. For this I now feel genuinely sorry and seek forgiveness of Allah (SWT). May Allah (SWT), [i]At-Tawwaab-ur-Ra[u]h[/u]eem[/i], accept my repentance and bless me with His infinite mercies! [i]Aameen[/i] Was-Salaam: Sahibzada Muhammad Ayaz[/quote]
