Navaid Aziz – Status and Authority of the Sunnah in Islam

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Navaid Aziz examines the status and legislative authority of the Sunnah in Islam, addressing those who reject it in favor of the Quran alone. Drawing on seven explicit Quranic proofs from Surahs Al-Imran, An-Nisa, An-Nur, and others, he demonstrates that obedience to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is inseparable from obedience to Allah, and that true faith requires wholehearted acceptance of and submission to the Messenger's guidance. The lecture also covers key principles of Ahlul Sunnah in understanding Quranic texts and lays the groundwork for a subsequent discussion on how the Sunnah was historically preserved.
