The word Sunnah means the way and manner in which our beloved Nabi b lived his life. The way he lived, spoke, ate, slept, the manner in which he addressed his elders, the way in which he conducted himself with his juniors, how he treated his wives, etc. In short, every aspect of the life of Nabi b is regarded as the Sunnah. Practicing on the Sunnah of our beloved Nabi b is the greatest achievement for a true Muslim. The only path to success is the path of the sunnah. There is no aspect of human life wherein we have not received guidance from our beloved Nabi, Muhammad b.
How can I Practice on the Sunnah?
Every Muslim should try his/her best to learn and then practice on all the sunnats of Rasulullah b. An easy way to achieve this is to buy a book on the sunnats of Rasulullah b and read out one sunnat a day to your family. Thereafter everyone should try their best to practice on this sunnah. We must also remind one another to practice on every sunnah.
Bringing alive the Sunnah
Rasulullah b has said that a person who brings alive a dead sunnah (i.e. practices on a sunnah that people no more practice upon) will receive the reward of 100 martyrs. Imagine what great reward Allah Taala will bless us with if we practice on every sunnah.
A Sunnah for Boys
One very important
sunnah for boys to
practice upon nowadays
is to keep their trou-
sers above their an-
kles. By practicing on
this sunnah we will be
in the mercy of Allah
Ta’ala. Tell our mothers
to hem our trousers so
that that it is always
above our ankles and if
it is too long, then fold
it above our ankles.
A Sunnah for Girls
An important sunnah
for the girls to prac-
tice is to keep their
hair covered at all
times whether they are
in Madrasah, school,
out of school or any-
where else.
Hadhrat Huzayfah bin Yamaan (RA) and Hadhrat Rib’ee bin ‘Aamir (RA) are the
conquerors of Iran. These two great Sahaabah were once called to the palace of the
king of Iran, Khosroe, to discuss some important issues. Before entering the palace the
gatekeepers stopped them. They asked them to take off their kurtas, as they felt that
their clothes were not good enough to meet the king. The guards gave them some royal
clothing and said that this royal clothing is better for you to wear before you meet the
king.
Hadhrat Rib’ee bin ‘Aamir (RA) refused to remove his sunnat kurta and wear the
clothing of these unbelievers. He then said to the soldiers, “If the king is not prepared
to meet me in this simple clothing of mine, I am not prepared to meet him either and I
will go back home.” The guard sent this message to the king.
In the meantime, Hadhrat Rib’ee bin ‘Aamir (RA) was repairing a broken part of his
sword which was wrapped up with pieces of cloth. The guard requested if he could see
his sword and mockingly said to him, “Are you going to conquer Iran with this sword?”
Very calmly, Hadhrat Rib’ee (RA) replied, “Don’t look at the sword. Look at the hand
that uses the sword.” The guard then requested Hadhrat Rib’ee (RA) to show him the
strength of the hand that holds the sword.
The strongest shield in the palace was brought. It was well known that nothing could
ever break such a strong shield. Hadhrat Rib’ee bin ‘Aamir (RA) struck the shield with
such force that it split in two pieces. Everyone was shocked at his strength and
wondered what had made him so strong.
The king then called them into the palace and invited them for a meal. Whilst eating, a
morsel of food fell on to the ground. It is a sunnah of our beloved Nabi b that if a
morsel of food falls onto the ground, it should be picked up, cleaned and eaten as this
is a great bounty of Allah Ta’ala. Perhaps the special barakah (blessings) of Allah Ta’ala
maybe in that morsel. Hadhrat Huzayfah (RA) proceeded to pick up the morsel. A
person sitting close to him tried to stop him saying that it was not correct for him to
pick up this morsel in the presence of the king. In reply, Hadhrat Huzayfah (RA)
uttered the following sentence, “Should I leave out the sunnah of my beloved Nabi
bbbb for these fools?”
It was only because of them following the mubaarak teachings of our beloved Nabi b
that they became successful in this world and the next. Practicing on the sunnah is
really what made them the conquerors of Iran. We should also practice on every sunnah
of Rasulullah b. Nabi b has said that the one who obeys me, loves me, and who loves
me will be in Jannah with me.
May Allah Ta’ala bless us all with the ability to practice on every sunnah of Nabi b.
The Story of Hadhrat Huzayfah bin Yamaan (RA) and Hadhrat Rib’ee-bin ‘Aamir (RA) and their obedience to the sunnah
It is sunnah to use the miswaak:

vents tooth decay.
2. Miswaak creates a fragrance in the mouth.
3. Miswaak eliminates bad odours and im-
proves the taste.
4. Miswaak sharpens the memory.
5. Miswaak creates noor on the face of the one
who continuously uses it.
6. Miswaak causes the teeth to glow.
7. Miswaak strengthens the eyesight.
8. Miswaak assists in digestion.
9. Miswaak clears phlegm.
10. The greatest benefit of using miswaak is
gaining the pleasure of Allah.
11. The reward of Salaah is multiplied 70 times
if the Miswaak was used.
12. Using the miswaak will enable one to read
the kalimah at the time of death.
The Miswaak is a great sunnah of Rasulullah .b He
b used it very often and also instructed his Noble
Sahaabah to do the same. Infact the miswaak is a
sunnah that was practiced by all the Ambiyaa
(AS).
Hadhrat Abdullah bin Umar (RA)
narrates that Rasulullah b said:
'Make a regular practice of
using the Miswaak, for verily, it
cleanses the mouth and is a
means of gaining the pleasure of
Allah Ta’ala.
Rasulullah b has said that Jibraeel (AS) strongly
advised him to use the miswaak.
Rasulullah b has said,
“Two rakaats of Salaah
performed after using
miswaak is better than
70 rakaats of salaah
performed without
miswaak.”
