The sunnah is the sayings and practices/doings of prophet Muhammad; peace be upon him
It means prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sayings and practices. This should be followed by Muslims together with Quran teachings.

Answer:

The word "sunnah" means a way, a practice. It is like the term "method of operation".

This word can apply to anyone - even God. God has "a way" of dealing with His creation.

In Islamic terminology, the 'Sunnah' means the way and example of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him - PBUH). The 'Sunnah' includes things that Muhammad said and did - even down to how he wore his clothes - and things that he approved or disapproved of.

The wisdom of this is that God reaveals a scripture, and the Prophet to whom He reveals it then shows his people how to live by that scripture. He is our example. For instance God, in the Qur'an, tells us to pray. Without the example of our beloved Muhammad (PBUH), we would not know how or when to pray. He showed us.

Therefore, we follow the Qur'an, and the Sunnah. That is why we are called 'Sunni' Muslims. We are the majority. 85%. We are the true, orthodox Muslims. Other groups - like the Shiah - are off in left field, inventing all kinds of incorrect things and falling away from what Muhammad taught.

Sunna in Islam means the actions performed by the Holy Prophet (SAW) or the actions he commanded his followers to perform, or the actions his companions (RAU) performed in his presence and he didn't object to them.
