Something I realized about the sunnah.

[Wolfn]

Assalaam Alikum.

Something I came to realize about Sunnah is that it's Islamic Extra Credit. The obligatory "grade" is the 5 Pillars, and Sunnah is "extra credit". The more Sunnah you follow, the more extra credit you get, and the greater your reward in Paradise is (your "grade")

I just had to get that out. I think that might be helpful for some new Muslims.

Mashallah brother, that is a nice way of looking at it.

IN Salat, there are 2 types of Sunnah, Sunnah e Muaqeda & simply Sunnah. Sunnah e Muaqeda is considered obligatory. & the other Sunnah is not but it is highly recommended.

example of Sunnah e Muaqeda,
In Fajr Salat , we have 2 Sunnah e Muaqeda & 2 Fardh. The Sunnah e Muaqeda is offered before the Fardh prayer.

Following the Sunnah is Fard you know, its not something if you wish to follow, you do it otherwise you don't

so, for example, that means it's a sin to miss sunnah prayers, it's a sin to not wear a turban for guys and it's a sin to not brush the teeth with miswak? since those are part of the sunah right :confused: :rubeyes:

The Prophet :saw: said, "Whoever abandons my Sunnah, is not from amongst us."
