What are the dictates of God? These are preserved in the sources of Islam: the Quran and the Sunnah. Both the Quran and Sunnah were transmitted to us through the last Messenger of God, Muhammad bin Abdullah. The Quran is no new heavenly scripture. It is only an original edition of the previous heavenly scriptures. In this respect, the Quran is a book for all human beings of all nations. It is the expression of God’s mercy for one and all. It is a comprehensive message sent by God to each one of us. The Quran is a light of guidance for the world, just as the sun is the source of light and heat. The Sunnah can be described as the sayings and the actions of the last prophet of God: Prophet Muhammad. Through the Sunnah, we obtain examples from the life of the Prophet, who is a model for a believer. Whatever the Prophet did, said, or approved of is a source of Islam, just as the Quran. The Prophet’s role is not overemphasized: his life was dictated by what the Creator desired, and the Messenger did not add or subtract to Islam according to his whim.
