@article{2018,title={THE PERCEPTION OF THE SUNNAH OF MUSLIMS AND SOME EXAMPLES OF THE SUNNAH OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD},abstractNode={Today, Muslims have some problems in the conception of Sunnah. When it is called the Sunnah of Muhammad, we can think of being like him to “Shape and appearance” enough. However, it can be seen that not giving the importance required in obtaining a guide, in other words imitating and taking samples are mixed together, so that the Prophet’s sample cannot be used adequately. As a matter of fact, taking a sample is an action related to “essence and purpose” whereas imitation is an action related to “form and shape”. Taking an example leads to “serious and lasting behavior” in one’s behavior, whereas imitation brings a “superficial and formal” change in one’s behavior. However, it is possible to take the Prophet as an example, not to imitate him, but to follow him, to follow his trail, to understand the purpose behind his actions and to carry his Sunnah to life. In this respect, a non-essential Sunnah conception complicates the correct understanding of the purpose behind Muhammad’s words and practices. It affects the lives of Muslims in a negative way and delays the construction of a model Islamic society. For this reason, in order to substitute the correct Sunnah concept, first of all, the source of the problem needs to be focused on the reasons; these in-depth analysis and solution proposals need to be developed. This article draws attention to the different Sunnah approaches of Muslims, discusses what needs to be done for the construction of a true Sunnah, and it is aimed at giving examples from the Sunnah of the Prophet and introducing them to Muslims and other people.},author={Ahmet Emin SEYHAN},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
