THE SOURCES OF ISLAM
A. Reading Text
There are two sources of the religion of Islam. These sources are the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The Qur’an is God’s words which were revealed to the prophet Muhammad and the Sunnah is the Prophet’s tradition. The Qur’an is a Guidance from God for all human beings.
Therefore, God’s words which were written in the Qur’ an
should be read by all human beings. God wants all human beings to be happy in the world andin the life hereafter by giving the guidance and rules written in the Qur’an. Therefore, all people who want to be happy should read
Qur’an. It is said by God in the Qur’an. Their happiness lie their obedience to the guidance of God.
God sent the prophet Muhammad as His messenger
to instruct all people how to obey and to follow His guidance. What the prophet did was to explain, to inform and to give examples. Everything from the prophet was considered as the sunnah or prophet’s tradition, and it is
the second source of islamic teaching. Therefore, what the prophet did and said and also what his companions did and he agreed to all of these are the sources of Islam.
All Muslims accept and follow guidance from Allah and His messenger according to what is written in the Qur’an
and What was taught by the prophet as his sunnah.
