Importance of the Prophet's Sunnah

(MENAFN- Arab News) As the qur'an is revelation of allah to muhammad (peace be upon him) the sunnah likewise — not a third of it; not half of it; not two-thirds of it; not three-fourths of it; and not nine-tenths of it — all of it is the second revelation of allah to his messenger (peace be upon him). the most high has said: 'and whatsoever the messenger (muhammad) gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids you abstain (from it) and fear allah. verily allah is severe in punishment." (qur'an 59:7

The most high has said: 'nor does he speak of (his own) desire. it is only an inspiration that is inspired." (qur'an 53:3-4

The prophet (peace be upon him) said: "indeed i have been given the qur'an and that which is similar to it along with it." (ahmad in al-musnad 28/410 and abu dawood in the book of sunnah; chapter: clinging to the sunnah

In another hadith: "indeed that which the messenger of allah has made haraam is just like that which allah has made haraam."
