You are aware that the Sunnah refers to the actions, commands, prohibitions, sayings and tacit approvals of the Noble Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. The whole of the Sunnah falls under the Command of Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in His Book where He says:--
"WHATSOEVER THE MESSENGER GIVES YOU [then] TAKE IT AND WHATSOEVER HE PROHIBITS YOU
FROM, [then] REFRAIN FROM IT." [al-Hashar-59:7]
Among the Signs of love for the Sunnah is love for the Hereafter and hatred for this life, except in what is needed to arrive safely in the Hereafter.
Sayyadi Sahl Ibn Abdullah, may Allah be Merciful to him, in his 'Tafsir al-Qur'an', said "The sign of Love for Allah is having love for the Qur'an. The sign of having love for the Qur'an is is love for the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. The sign of love for the Prophet, peace be upon him, is love for the Sunnah. The sign of love for the Sunnah is love for the Hereafter. The sign of love love for the Hereafter is dislike for this world's life. The sign of dislike of this world's life is that one only takes from it what is sufficient as provision and as a means to help him reach the Hereafter."
In view of the foregoing, let us all resolve to renew our Love for the Sunnah accordingly.
Best Wishes.
