The sunnah way of life.
Last Thursday was one of the mossst interesting things I've learnt. It's like a summary of questions and answers tt I had in my head. I've learnt so much I had to pour it all out to Z who couldn't attend tt day's lesson. And I wish I could share it all out here.
Eversince I was a kid I always question the 'Islamic things' I'm supposed to do. Not tt I don't hv faith in the things I do. It's just I just can't fathom the reason behind doing things the way it is. I always believe...
To question, is to gain knowledge. With knowledge comes interest and it brings you closer to Allah.
A simple simple example. Cutting nails and hair during menstruation. I don't know why but even when I was young, I just felt this could be more of a culture thing than an Islamic thing.
But sometimes all these small things could lead to a very big practice altogether. Like how do u Mandi hadas. Kalau salah, then yr ibadah semua tak sah, oh maybe tak sempurna.
Then came along Z..
He had the answers to all my queries. And the answer was so simple. So easy. And it has always been there all along. It's a matter of finding out, searching and seeking.
Ahl Sunnah wal' jamaah.
If in doubt, refer back to rasullullah's practices (sunnah) together with the quraan.
A simple simple example.
The kitab doesn't teach us the steps to do the solat or how to ambil wudu'. And allllll along, nabi Muhammad was the one who teaches us the correct way of doing things. Sooo... The way right way to lead our lives is to follow the quraan and the sunnah from rasullullah.
There comes the part we learn Hadiths. Where bukhari and Muslim is the most authentic Hadith. And we should be wary of bid'ah. Inventions created by people tt doesn't follow sunnah at all. Tt alot of our malay culture introduces. So we must always look for sources tts shahih! :)
I could go on and on really. This just gets more interesting.
