| | The sunna is the second source of the Islamic Legislation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | The Sunna of the Prophet, upon him be peace and blessings, being every act, saying and confirmation of God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, is the second source of Islamic legislation after the Qur’an. |
 | | There are many more examples which show the place and role of the Sunna in embodying the Quranic commands, as well as in establishing new legislation such as, for example, the prohibition of eating the flesh of domestic donkeys and wild animals, and the prohibition of marriage to female cousins of a wife still living. |
 | | For this reason, the Sunna has been studied almost with the same care as the Quran: it was recorded, it has been studied and transmitted down the centuries through succeeding generations. |
