Islam Is The Sunnah and The Sunnah Is Islam: One Is Not Established Except With The Other - Shaykh Abu Khadeejah  

• Virtues of Imām al-Barbahārī and his foundational book Sharḥ al-Sunnah
 • Emphasis on adhering to Islām and the Sunnah, with a warning against altering the religion — whether by adding to it or taking away from it
 • Reminder of the importance of unity and recognising Allāh’s favour:
“And remember Allāh’s Favour on you—for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together…”
(Surah Āl-ʿImrān 3:103)
 • The importance of following the Sunnah and not attaching oneself to individuals or scholars, regardless of their status — except the Prophet ﷺ
 • The understanding of the companions of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ is the only understanding that carries weight and authority in the religion
 • Ibn Masʿūd (radiyallāhu ʿanhu) said: Follow the Āthār and do not innovate, for indeed you have been sufficed.”
 • The famous narration of Muḥammad Ibn Sīrīn: They never used to ask about the chain of narration. But when the fitnah occurred, we started to ask: ‘Name us your men.’”
A foundational principle highlighting the importance of verifying sources, especially in times of trial and confusion
 • How the companions resolved disputes — by referring back to the Qur’ān and Sunnah, as stated in the verse: “And if you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allāh and His Messenger, if you believe in Allāh and the Last Day.” (Surah al-Nisā’ 4:59 )
 • The advice of the Prophet ﷺ regarding times of confusion: To return affairs back to the beginning — to the era and understanding of the companions of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ
