Salaam everyone,
The Noble Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless and grant him peace, said:--"Let me not find one of you, reclining on his couch, when he hears something regarding what I have commanded or forbidden saying: 'We do not know. What we found in Allah's Book we have followed'. (Abu Dawud)
Today, this can be a good reminder against casual attitude with which some Muslims, unfortunately, discard the Sunnah of our Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala repeatedly links obedience of Allah to obedience of His Messenger...Allah says, "And whoever obeys the Messenger, thereby obeys Allah".(4:80) and "Whatever the Messenger gives you take it, and whatever he forbids you, refrain from it".(59:7)...there are many Ayats of the Qur'an itself condemning having a 'Qur'an only' approach.
To divorce the Sunnah from Islam is to render Islam ineffective...for example, the Qur'an directs us to pray and give Zakkat, but without the Sunnah, how would we know how to pray or calculate and pay/give Zakkat?...
