The Sunnah (Arabic: سنة), also spelled as Sunnah or Sunnah, refers to the sayings, actions, and approvals of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, which, along with the Quran, form the primary source of Islamic law and guidance for Muslims. The term is derived from the Arabic root sanna, meaning "to establish a custom" or "to follow a precedent." In Hebrew, the term is translated as סונה (Sunah). In Persian, it is known as سنته (Sonnat), and in Turkish, it is called Sünnet. The Sunnah is preserved in various collections of hadith, which are records of the sayings and actions of Muhammad compiled by his companions and later scholars. These collections serve as a crucial source for understanding Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and the moral and ethical teachings of Islam. The Sunnah provides practical examples of how to implement the principles outlined in the Quran, covering aspects of worship, daily life, social interactions, and personal conduct. It is considered essential for Muslims to follow the Sunnah as it is believed to embody the perfect example set by Muhammad, who is regarded as the ideal model for all believers.
