The Authority of Sunnah

Written by: Mufti Taqi UsmaniThis book tells us what the ‘Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (SAWS)’ is, how it has a binding authority over all the Muslims for all times to come, what status the Holy Quran has given to it and what measures the Ummah has adopted to preserve it for the coming generations. It provides brief, yet clear, answers to questions of similar nature and will help in understanding the true status of the ‘Sunnah’ as a source of Islamic Law and as a source of guidance for all Muslims in their practical lives. It will also assist,in removing certain doubts inculcated by few contemporary writers in respect of the authority of the Sunnah.
