Sunnah

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The word Sunnah (Arabic: سَنَةٌ) is an Arabic word meaning "tradition" or "way." For Muslims, Sunnah means "the way of the prophet". Sunnites try to follow his words, actions and teachings.

Muslim scholars learn about the Sunnah by studying thousands of stories about Muhammad, his family, and his first followers. These stories are called Hadith.
