- Important of Practices Beloved Prophet Sunnah

Sunnah, literally means path. The Sunnah, in Islam, is the path which has been laid down by the character, manners, ritual habits, deeds, example and legislative actions of our beloved Prophet (Swallallaahu alaihi wa sallam).

The Sunnah of our Holy Prophet (Swallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) sets a perfect example for anyone who wishes to draw close to Allah (Allaah Azzawajal)

"Undoubtedly, you have the best in the following of the Messenger, for him who yearns for Allah"
Quran (Surah 33: Verse 21)

It is for this very reason that all legitimate paths towards Allah (Allaah Azzawajal), in sufism, embody the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (Swallallaahu alaihi wa sallam). Becuase by following the Sunnah one eventually becomes a loved friend of Allah (Allaah Azzawajal).

"Say, If you love Allah, follow me, Allah will love you"
Quran (Surah 3: Verse31)

It may initially be difficult to adopt the Sunnah, for fear of being ridiculed, but this is precisely why one will be greatly rewarded by Allah (swt). It has been narrated that our Holy Prophet (Swallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "At the time of corruption, if one revives the Sunnah, one will be rewarded to the equivalent of one hundred martyrs in Islam"
