Sunna refers to the traditions, practices, and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, serving as a primary source of Islamic law and guidance alongside the Quran. It encompasses the Prophet’s actions, approvals, and teachings, offering practical examples of how to implement Quranic principles in daily life. Muslims look to the Sunna to understand proper worship, ethics, and social conduct. It is recorded in Hadith collections—authenticated reports of the Prophet’s words and deeds—compiled by scholars like Bukhari and Muslim. The Sunna provides clarity in areas where the Quran is general or silent, shaping everything from prayer rituals to business ethics. For Sunni Muslims, it is essential for interpreting Islamic law (Sharia), while even within Shi'a Islam, the Sunna of the Prophet and his family (Ahl al-Bayt) is revered. Following the Sunna is seen as a way to draw closer to God by emulating the character and actions of His final messenge.
