Asalamu alykum to all, islam and sunnah are often misunderstood by uncountable muslims, some beleived that all sunnah are superogatory and not cumpulsory. and then failed to know that there are explicit sunnah that are compulsory too. they even further differenciate between Muslims and Ahlu sunnah, they beleived they are just some sects that carved themselves away from islam. this is an absolute absymal ignorance of islam. islam and sunnah are nothing but synonymous words meaning the same according to Imam Barbaharee in his book Sharrhu Sunnah. when we read the quran completely, there is no place in there, where it is stated that Solatu dhurr, Asri and Isha are four rakats respectively. we only understood this through the expanciative explanation from the noblest prophet. Sunnah is islamically defined to mean, the sayins, doings, and the total endorsement of actions that are done in his presence. and this is widely known through his muteness to the actions. According to wide understanding of sunnah in Africa, sunnah is action that is rewarded being done and not accouted for if abondoned. This understanding is the root of explicite misconceptions of sunnah in the world especially in Africa. to tackle this difficult problem, we need to know that they are uncountable sunnah of the prophet that are compulsory too. Some islamic Scholars says we only know the sunnah that are not compulsory through the context of the hadith. eg, the issue shewing stick before prayer or ablution is obviously cleared in the hadith that it is not compulsory but highly rewardable. we need to let people understand this fact so that we can free them from these extreme obscurities. share this message explicitly and may Allah reward you benevolently. ameen. Asalmu alaykum
