Shaikh Khidir from Toronto, Canada once gave a very beautiful example
on the importance of following the ways (sunnah) of Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him). He said that sunnah is like medicine. Usually,
when we visit the doctors for treatment, they write onthe
prescriptions the medicines we need. We take these prescriptions to
pharmacists who thensell the medicines to us. Sometimes these
medicines are bitter and hard to swallow, but we still consume them as
weknow that the cure is in them. Similarly, each andevery sunnah has
physical and spiritual cure for us in this world and in the hereafter.
Even if some of sunnah are hard to follow, we should still follow them
as the cure is in them.
"...So take what the Messenger gives you, and refrain from what he
prohibits you..." Al Quran 59:7
