4.1 The Sunnah Is A Definitive Source
Allah (swt) says in the Qur‟an: “He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah.” (TMQ An-Nisa: 80)
“And no, by thy Lord, they would never believe until they refer to you in the issues and disputes that are between them” (TMQ An-Nisa: 65)
“He does not speak of his own desires and whims; indeed he is inspired by Wahy (revelation).” (TMQ An-Najm: 2 & 3)
“What the Messenger has given you then take it, and what he prohibits then abstain from it.” (TMQ Al-Hashr: 7)
“And we have revealed to you (O Muhammad) the Dhikr, for you to explain it to the people.” (TMQ An-Nahl: 44)
“Say (O Muhammad): If you love Allah then follow me, and Allah will love you.” (TMQ Al-Imran: 31)
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
“One of you who while reclining on his chair is quoted a Hadith from me, and he says to the person who quoted the Hadith, „we have the Book of Allah (Qur‟an), so what we find in it from what is Halal we will take it as Halal, and what we find in it that is Haram, we‟ll treat as Haram.‟ (The Prophet (saw) continued...) But whatever the Messenger of Allah has made Haram, it is like that thing which Allah has made Haram.” 5
