Forgotten Sunnahs
It is common today for most Muslims to verbally express their love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, yet when it comes to following his guidance, they often hesitate or make poor excuses. Even worse, many will dismissively say, “It’s just Sunnah!” – which is an abhorrent statement for any member of the Ummah to make.
I’m pretty sure we’ve all made “It’s just Sunnah” statement without understanding the gravity of our ignorance which leads to gradual deviation from Islam. Noting that ‘Islam is a way of life, and that the way of Life is taught through the Sunnah’, the author has put forward myriad of Sunnahs concerned with Ibadah and daily life which are either forgotten or preformed incorrectly by the Ummah.
The book is divided into 12 chapters with each chapter divided into many sub-topics, that makes it easier to read (almost feels like reading Fortress Of The Muslim but this book is particularly concerned with FORGOTTEN sunnah). The language and tone of the book is comprehensible and friendly respectively.
I liked the way each topic is explained in a few words topped with logical explanations. The author has choosen only the authenticated ahadeeth from Bukhari and Muslim (these days most arguments revolve around whether the hadees is sahih or daeef so I guess this problem is sorted).
The first chapter ‘Obligation Of Following The Sunnah’ is the perfect introduction. I also loved the chapters pertaining to the Forgotten Sunnah related to Family, Ibadah and Good Character. ‘Why Sunnah Are Abandoned’ is an insightful chapter.
