This is a translation of a booklet titled “Manzilat-us-Sunnah fil-
Islaam” (The Status of the Sunnah in Islaam) of Imaam Muhammad
Naasir-u-Deen Al-Albaanee, may Allaah have mercy on him. The source for
this booklet was a lecture he gave in Doha, Qatar during the month of
Ramadaan, 1392H. The talk was later transcribed and published. This book
can be downloaded in Arabic at http://www.sahab.org.
This treatise clarifies the position of
the Sunnah in Islaam, in that it bears the same status as the Qur’aan
when it comes to deriving religious rulings and laws. So one cannot
possibly understand and implement the Qur’aan in the absence of the
Sunnah, rather they go hand in hand. Imaam Al-Albaanee gives several
examples for this.
The author then goes on to explain what
is meant by Sunnah in his discussion, in that it refers to only the
authentic Sunnah, and not the weak and fabricated hadeeth. This is a
very important treatise, defining a key principle of the Salafi Manhaj,
which consists of following the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, along with the
understanding of the Salaf (i.e. Sahaabah, Taabi’een, Atbaa’
at-Taabi’een). This treatise is also a refutation of the deviant groups
that rely on the Qur’aan alone, such as the Qur’aaniyoon, etc.
