The Sunnah & Its Role In Islamic Legislation

The Sunnah and its Role in Islamic Legislation is a ground breaking effort by Dr. Mustafa as-Siba’ee, for it has a completeness to it in two regards: first, the author succeeds to cover all topics related to the Sunnah—its status, its legislative force, the stages that led to its recording, just to mention a few—in a comprehensive and organized manner. Second, he presents the opinions of those that have attacked the Sunnah throughout history, detailing their arguments and then refuting them. Among those groups from the past were the Shiaa and the Mutazilah; today, they are mainly the Orientalists and those that are influenced by them. Sheikh as-Siba’ee takes us through the historical growth of the Sunnah, from the early stages of revelation to the recording of the Sunnah during the era of the great Imams of Hadith. Throughout that account, he highlights the contributions of the scholars in preserving the Sunnah and cleansing it from fabrications. Shaykh as-Siba’ee gives a clear account of the revolutionary methods and scholarly principles that were established in order to authenticate historical reports and narrations. The author shows us that the fruits of that endeavour were the preservation of the authentic Sunnah and the birth of the Hadith sciences. This book has been a perennial source of knowledge for Arabic-speaking students of Islam, for its clarity, readability, and insightful research. New English-speaking students too have available to them this authoritative treatise on the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw)
