The qur’an is god’s words which were revealed to the prophet muhammad and the sunnah is the prophet’s tradition. The qur’an is a guidance from god for all human beings. Therefore , god’s words which were written in the qur’an should be read by all human beings. God wants all human beings to be happy  in the world and in the world and in the life hereafter by giving  the guidance  and rules written in the qur’an. Therefore, all people who want  to be happy and safe  in their  life should know what is said by god  in the qur’an . their happiness lies in their obedience to the guidance  of god.

      God sent the prophet muhammad as his messenger to instruct all people how to obey and to follow his guidance. What the prophet did was to expain, to inform and to give examples. Everything from the prophet was cnsidered as the sunnah  or prophet’s tradition, and it is  the second source  of islamic teaching. Therefore, what the prophet did and said and also what his companions did and he agreed to all of these are the sources of islam.

CHAPTER XI

BOOKS OF ALLAH

Allah sent prophets and messengers to show us the right path. God, the kind and loving creator, also sent books for guidance. He sent them to his messengers. these books are called the books of allah. Allah sent the  books through the angel gabriel. Books of guidance  sent by allah are also called books of revelation. Revelation is wahyu in arabic. There are four books of allah mentioned in the qur’an. They are the tawroh, zabur (psalms), injil (gospel) and the qur’an. Tawrah was sent  to the prophet moses, the psalms was sent to the prophet david and the gospel to the prophet jesus. The last book of allah and the most comprehensive was sent down to  the last prophet, muhammad (p.b.u.h), its name is the qur’an. There was also the  sahifah or scroll, a kind of book which was given to the prophet abraham. The scroll of abraham can not be found now.

The original books or parts of the books given to the prophets before muhammad were either lost or changed. The people took away the originals of the books and added their own words to allah’s words. This is why we do not have these books as they were revealed, the qur’an is the last and the most complete book of guidance from allah. It is not only for a certain group of people and a certain period of time , but it is for all people, all races and nations and for all times. It is with us today, without any change, with nothing added or taken away. It is the last book of guidance for mankind.
