Reviving The Qur'an and Sunnah

We Must Live The Sunnah

We must live in accord with the Sunnah of the Prophet. Don't take the Qur'an and go off and live your own religion. That won't work. The order of Islamic life is demonstrated in the life of the Prophet, and the teaching in Qur'an. The way to carry it out in your personal life, is demonstrated in the life of the Prophet. That's why he was sent. He was sent to us as a Messenger. He's also a prophet, but he's known more as a messenger.

And Allah has called him by the title "Messenger" more than He has called him by the title, 'Prophet.' And He not only called him messenger, but put the servant and the title together: 'ab-dhu-hu-wa Rasoolu. His servant and His Messenger.' A man with a message is a little better than a man with a warning. Because a man can come with a warning, and no message, and we are still left in the same predicament. Many prophets came just to warn the wicked. They are not major prophets; the major prophet is the one who comes with a warning and a message.

He warns you of what can come or what is going to happen, and then gives you a message to save you. The best messenger is the one who carries out what he asks other people to do: 'abduhu-wa-rasuluhu.
