Page "Sunnah" Paragraph 8

Traditional Muslims believe that the sunnah is justified by verses such as " A similar ( favour have ye already received ) in that We have sent among you a Messenger of your own, rehearsing to you Our Signs, and sanctifying you, and instructing you in Scripture and Wisdom, and in new knowledge.

( 2: 151 ) The verse " Verily in the messenger of God you have a good example for him who looks unto God and the Last Day and remembers God much ".

( 33: 21 ), further emphasizes that Muhammad's mission is to teach and exemplify The Qur ' an, not just to relate its verses and leave.

Muhammad was not to be worshipped or deified but his role was to deliver The Qur ' an with comprehensive explanations of how to live according to the Qur ' anic guidelines preserved in Sunnah.

The teachings of " wisdom " have been declared to be a function of Muhammad along with the teachings of the scripture.
