Sunnah<br />

<strong>of</strong><br />

in <strong>Islam</strong><br />

1. The Example <strong>of</strong> Allah's Messenger is part <strong>of</strong> <strong>Islam</strong> <strong>and</strong> will<br />

be protected till <strong>the</strong> Last Day. Allah says, "Indeed, in <strong>the</strong><br />

Messenger <strong>of</strong> Allah (Muhammad �)<br />

you have a good example to<br />

follow, for him who hopes in (<strong>the</strong> Meeting with) Allah <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Last Day <strong>and</strong> remembers Allah much."<br />

<strong>Islam</strong> is a universal religion, <strong>and</strong> its teachings are for all<br />

mankind <strong>and</strong> for all ages; <strong>and</strong> as long as people need to be<br />

guided, <strong>the</strong> example <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophet will be preserved. "We have<br />

not sent you (O Muhammad �)<br />

except as a Messenger to all<br />

mankind, giving <strong>the</strong>m glad tidings <strong>and</strong> warning <strong>the</strong>m against<br />

sin."<br />

[Soorah Saba (34): 28]<br />

Ra<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> very purpose <strong>of</strong> sending a human Messenger was<br />

for people to take him as an example in <strong>the</strong>ir day to day lives,<br />

"Say, 'If <strong>the</strong>re were on <strong>the</strong> earth, angels walking about in peace<br />

<strong>and</strong> security, We should certainly have sent down for <strong>the</strong>m from<br />

<strong>the</strong> heaven, an angel as a Messenger."<br />
