The Importance of Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

The foundation of Shariah, path and tasawaf is to follow th sunnah of Prophet Muhmmad (PBUH). It is also the beginning and end of all stages of closeness of Allah. The beginning of the love of Allah depends on firm following of the Sunnah of Prophet (PBUH) and it also leads to the culmination of love of Allah. This is why Allah has made it compulsory to follow sunnah of his Prophet (PBUH) to attain His love. Allah says in Holy Quran when you will follow the sunnah of my beloved Prophet, I will bless you with my love. Therefore, both beginning and peak of love of Allah lies in treading the path of sunnah.

Sheikh ul Arab and Ajam, Haji Imdad Ullah Makki (RA) says that it possible to attain closeness of Allah quickly in our path, as great emphasis is laid on following the sunnah of Prophet (PBUH). If we start following the blessed sunnah of Prophet (PBUH), the distance from Allah will turn in his closeness and all problems of the Ummah will be solved.

If believers become fond of the footsteps of Holy Prophet (PBUH), the treasures of world will be in their feet
If the Ummah starts sunnah of Prophet (PBUH), its ship will get out of storms of trouble. (Shah Hakim Muhammad Akhtar (DB)
