Requirements for the Unity of Ummah under the types of Al-sunnah al-tarkiyyah: A Research Review

Abstract

Islam is a complete code of conduct which is an excellent system of practical guidance in all walks of life. The perfection of Islam is clear and there is no room for increase or decrease in it. The basic teachings of Islam are preserved in the form of Qur'an and Sunnah. From the Shari'ah point of view, the second source of Islam side by side with the Qur'an which fulfills the requirements of faith and action is obedience to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) whose only source is the blessed Sunnah. Sometimes he would issue an order to guide the ummah in a particular issue and in some cases it would be more effective to present a practical example. By remaining silent, you seem to justify this act. In the same way, sometimes you seem to be giving up a task and guiding the ummah, that is, those actions are not a part of your action. Such actions are called Al-Sunnah Al-Tarkiah. The types of Al-Sunnah Al-Tarkiah and its legal status have been discussed in the research under review.
