About Us
In the name of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
We are Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah
Introduction
Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, often referred to as Sunni Islam, represents the largest denomination in Islam. It is characterised by its adherence to the teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, as understood by his companions. This branch emphasises the importance of the Sunnah, which are the traditions and practices of the Prophet peace be upon him alongside the Qur’an.
Key Beliefs
The Qur’an and Sunnah
Sunni Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the direct word of Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala revealed to the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Alongside the Qur’an, the Sunnah serves as a guide for interpreting and implementing Islamic principles in daily life. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the last and the final prophet of Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala, a belief that is central to Islamic doctrine. This is encapsulated in the term “Khatam an-Nabiyyin,” meaning “Seal of the Prophets. “According to Islamic teachings, no new prophet will come after Muhammad (SAW), and his message is considered complete and comprehensive for all of humanity.
The teachings of Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Rehmatullahi Alayh) offer timeless guidance, urging Muslims to live with devotion, compassion, and sincerity toward Allah (SWT). His words inspire believers to seek inner peace, place their faith above worldly desires, and show compassion to all of creation.
The Four Schools of Thought
Sunni Islam is divided into four main schools of jurisprudence, each offering interpretations of Islamic law. These are:
Hanafi – Known for its flexibility and use of reason, it is the most followed school.
Maliki – Focuses on the practices of the people of Medina and the consensus of the community.
Shafi’i – Emphasises the importance of hadith in jurisprudence.
Hanbali – Known for its strict adherence to the Qur’an and Sunnah.
Historical Significance
The term “Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat” was coined to differentiate those who follow the Prophet’s traditions from other sects. Historically, Sunni Islam has played a significant role in shaping Islamic civilization, contributing to fields such as science, philosophy, and arts.
Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, as a major branch of Islam, emphasises the unity and cohesiveness of the Muslim community through shared beliefs and practices. Its rich tradition and diverse schools of thought have enabled it to adapt and thrive across different cultures and eras, continuing to guide millions of Muslims worldwide.
