Sunnah and its Importance

Refutation of al-Khumayyis

Al-Khumayyis claims that the seventeen Musnads of Imâm Abû H.anîfa, Allâh be well-pleased with him, were compiled after his time and are therefore attributed to him unreliably. This is like the claim of the non-Muslims and their ignorant acolytes that the h.adîth was compiled after the time of the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace

Shaykh Qardawi Approves of Celebrating Mawlid

What is Sunnah?

The Arabic word Sunnah lexically means "road" or "practice." In the language of the Prophet {saw} and the Companions it denotes the whole of lawful practices followed in the Religion, particularly the pristine path of Prophets, whether pertaining to belief, religious and social practice, or ethics generally speaking.

The Blessed Beard of the Prophet (s)

History of the Blessed Hair of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

It is well-known that the Prophet (s) used to distribute his blessed hairs when he shaved his head and whatever fell from his beard to his Sahaba to keep for blessings, as is related in the hadiths in the link below. It is recorded and known that three blessed hairs of the Prophet (s), including the one currently in the hands of Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, reached the hand of Sultan Abdul Hamid Khan, II who received it in a direct lineage from the preceding Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, from Sultan Selim up to his time. Sultan Selim had received it directly from the Governor of Madina in his time.

Of the three hairs in the possession of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, he gave one to the Shaykh al-Islam of the Ottoman Empire, Sayyid Jamaluddin Effendi. It was then handed down in succession until it reached the hands of Shaykh Hisham Kabbani as a gift upon completing a 40-day Rajab seclusion in Istanbul. The second hair remains at the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, where it is visited throughout the year by thousands of Turks and Muslims from many other countries, including scholars and common people, who come to take its blessing. The third hair is in the hands of the Family of the late Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, in Cyprus. The lineages of these three blessed hairs of the Prophet (s) are recorded and certified in three different specific certifications, and the hair in the possession of Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is accompanied by its official certificate.
