SUNNAH MATTER

Prophet Muhammad is a direct descendant of Ishmael, the first son of Abraham (peace be on all prophets). Muhammad was born in Makkah in 570 CE. By the time Muhammad was twenty five, he had become well known in the city, for the integrity of his disposition, and the honesty of his character. He became known as the trustworthy, and the truthful.
Prophet Muhammad was 40 years old, when he was visited by angel Gabriel (peace be on him), received his first message from God (Allah). These visits continued for the next 23 years until his death. All of the message thus received were put together by the Prophet Muhammad in a book called the Holy Qur'an. For moslems, the Holy Qur'an is the word of God (Allah). In the interpretation of the verses, must be use historic context, events that moslems were facing at that time, and the Sunnah matter.
Sunnah refers to the sayings, approvals, and disapprovals of the Prophet Muhammad. These are compiled in separate books, known as Hadith Books. Unlike the Holy Qur'an which was compiled by Prophet Muhammad himself, the Hadith Books were compiled after the death of the Prophet Muhammad.
