Abdullah ibn Mas'ood said: "if you pray in your homes like this man who stayed in his home, then you have abandoned the sunnah of your Prophet, then you have gone astray".

So from this story we can conclude that SUNNAH is a must! But please do not get confuse between SUNNAH and SUNAT (Mustahabb). Those two are have totally different meaning.
Sunnah (سنة /ˈsunna/, plural سنن sunan /ˈsunæn/) is an Arabic word that means habit or usual practice. The Muslim usage of this term refers to the sayings and living habits of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. The Sunnah of Muhammad includes his specific words, actions, and practices. It is significant to the spirituality of Islam because it addresses ways of life dealing with friends, family, and government
Sunat on the other hand..
Sunat/Mustahabb (Arabic مستحبّ, literally "recommended") is an Islamic term referring to recommended, favored or virtous actions. Mustahabb actions are those whose status of approval in Islamic law (ahkam/hukum) falls between mubah (neutral) and wajib (actions which must be performed). One definition is "duties recommended, but not essential; fulfilment of which is rewarded, though they may be neglected without punishment" (Reuben Levy, The Social Structure of Islam, p. 202). Synonyms of mustahabb can be masnun or mandub. The opposite of mustahabb is makruh. In other words, di buat dapat pahala, inda di buat inda dapat apa apa (or inda papa).
May Allah be pleased with you. This clears up a very common misconception. Jazzakallah.
ReplyDeleteAssalamualaikum,
ReplyDeletethis goes to Hamba Allah
Boleh saya bertanya, from where did you find out about this (Beza antara sunah dan sunat), and how many times have you already checked about this before publishing it?
Inda pulang lari/terpesong dari ajaran yang sebenarnya, just a mild question for you, that's all, and many thank you.
Because, in my opinion, sunat or sunah nada bezanya, i mean both are the same dari segi makna and berlainan dari segi sebutan. Don't you think?
Jazakallah.
Sorry andai pertanyaan ane somehow menyinggung perasaan Hamba Allah, truly sorry, but it isn't my intention initially.
Syukran
