Sunnah literally means

 Some organizations began using the media to promote Islam such as the 24-hour TV channel such as Peace television.

 Perhaps as a result of these efforts, most experts agree that luckily Islam is growing faster than any other faith in East and West Africa.



The largest denomination in Islam is Sunni Islam, which makes up over 75% to 90% of all Muslims.Sunni Muslims also go by the name Ahl as-Sunnah which means "people of the tradition [of Muhammad]".

 In Arabic language, as- "tradition" or "path".

 The Qur'an and the Sunnah (the example of Muhammad's life) as recorded in hadis are the primary foundations of Sunni doctrine.

According to Sunni Islam, the "normative" example of Muhammad's life is called the Sunnah (literally "trodden path").

                   This example is preserved in traditions known as Al-Kutub Al-Sittah (six major books) which are hadis, recounting his words, his actions, and his personal characteristics.

 The classical Muslim jurist ash-Shafi'i (d. 820) emphasized the importance of the Sunnah in Islamic law, and Muslims are encouraged to emulate Muhammad's actions in their daily lives.

 The Sunnah is seen as crucial to guiding interpretation of the Qur'an.

Two major hadis collections are Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
 Sunnis trust that the first four caliphs were the rightful successors to Muhammad; since God did not specify any particular leaders to succeed him, those leaders had to be elected.

 Sunnis believe that a caliph should be chosen by the whole community.
