Holding On To The Sunnah.

Assalam alaikum,
The Prophet of Islam, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was reported to have said:-''Let me not find one of you, reclining on his couch, when he hears something regarding what I have commanded or forbidden saying: 'We do not know. What we found in Allah's Book we followed'.
[Abu Dawud]
This is a good reminder against today's casual attitude with which some Muslims, unfortunately, discard the Sunnah of our Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah, Glory be to Him, repeatedly links obedience to Him to obedience of His Messenger. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says:-''AND WHOEVER OBEYS THE MESSENGER OBEYS ALLAH''-(4:80) and ''WHATEVER THE MESSENGER GIVES YOU TAKE IT, AND WHATEVER HE FORBIDS YOU, REFRAIN FROM IT'' (59:7)..there are many Ayats of the Holy Qur'an itself condemning having 'a Qur'an only' approach.
To divorce the Sunnah from Islam is to render Islam ineffective...for example, the Qur'an directs us to pray, but without the Sunnah, how would we know how to pray?
