The Sources of Islam

There are two sources of the religion of Islam. These sources are the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The Qur’an is God’s words which were revealed to the prophet Muhammad and the Sunnah is the Prophet’s tradition.

The Qur’an is a Guidance from God for all human beings. Therefore, God’s words which were written in the Qur’an should be read by all human beings. God wants all human beings to be happy in the world and in the life hereafter by giving the guidance and rules written in the Qur’an. Therefore, all people who want to be happy and safe in their life should know what is said by God in the Qur’an. Their happiness lies in their obedience to the guidance of God. 

God sent the prophet Muhammad as His messenger to instruct all people how to obey and to follow His guidance. What the prophet did was to explain, to inform and to give examples. Everything from the prophet was considered as the sunnah or prophet’s tradition, and it is the second source of Islamic teaching. Therefore, what the prophet did and said also what his companions did and he agreed to all of these are the sources of Islam.

All Muslims accept and follow guidance from Allah and His messenger according to what is written in the Qur’an and what was taught by the prophet as his sunnah.
