Sunnah

Assalamualaikum everyone. In this post, I would like to share some our Prophet Muhammad SAW sunnah. So basically what is sunnah? Sunnah is the verbally transmitted record of the teachings, deeds and sayings, silent permissions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad as well as various reports about Muhammad’s companions. I would like to tell all of you some simple sunnah that we can practice in our everyday life.

1    

             Doing dhikr (remembrance) of Allah after the mandatory prayers.

·         Subhanallah (Glory to Allah) 33 times.

·         Alhamdulillah (Thanks and praise be to Allah) 33 times

·         Allahu Akbar (Allah is greater) 33 times

2      Clipping the fingernails

-          Clipping your fingernails short and neat is general cleanliness.

3     Say Bismillah before eating

-          Eating is something we do every day. In fact, we often eat several times a day. It is such an easy thing to simply recite the name of Allah before eating and gain a few extra blessing.

4       Sunnah of drinking water

-          Pray bismillah and drink with your right hand

-          Sit down and drink.

-          Drink by taking three sips not all at once.

-          Say Alhamdulillah

5       Smile!

-          Rasulullah SAW said: “Make things easy! And do not make them complicated! Be cheerful! And do not be repulsive!” [Bukhari]

6       Making two Rakah (units) of prayer before Salaatul Fajr (the Dawn prayer)

-          It is actually highly recommended that we make two rakat before the Dawn Prayer
