What does SUNNA mean in Scrabble?
noun
The body of traditional Islamic practice and example, based on the words, actions, and habits attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, regarded as a source of guidance alongside the Quran.
Sunna refers to the remembered pattern of conduct and speech attributed to Muhammad, preserved in reports called hadith and treated as a model for how Muslims should live, pray, and behave. Alongside the Quran, the sunna forms one of the two main foundations of Islamic law and practice, and Muslims who follow it closely are described as adhering to sunna. Different branches of Islam weigh and interpret collections of sunna somewhat differently, which has shaped much of the history of Islamic legal scholarship. The word is also the root of Sunni, referring to Muslims who especially emphasise the authority of the sunna.
