Whatever the Messenger (saas) did, said, or approved of is a source of Islam just as much as the Qur'an. The Messenger's life is an example for all Muslims, or those who accept Islam, to follow. The Sunnah is the term used to describe how the Messenger of Allah (saas) lived his life. The earliest copies and the latest copies are the same. The Qur'an claims that it is protected from change by other than Allah, and this is confirmed by its 1400 year history. The Qur'an covers a wide variety of topics, including evidence to support its claim of being the Word of the Creator, stories of earlier generations, rules which humanity is asked to obey, and information about the Hereafter. It was transmitted from Allah to an angel of His (Gabriel), and from the angel to the Messenger of Allah who delivered it to us. The Qur'an is a book containing the literal Word of Allah. The Messenger of Allah was nothing more and nothing less than a mortal messenger of the immortal Creator.

Both the Qur'an and Sunnah were transmitted to us, humanity, via the Messenger of Allah: Muhammad bin Abdullah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him (saas). Allah has taught us about Islam via two mediums: the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The source of Islam is Allah, the Creator of everything known and unknown to us. We avoid the word religion because in many non-Islamic societies, there is a separation of "religion and state." This separation is not recognized at all in Islam: the Creator is very much concerned with all that we do, including the political, social, economic, and other aspects of our society. Islam is the name of a way of life which the Creator wants us to follow. Before jumping into the list of misconceptions directly, it is important to give a little interesting background about the source of Islam. In this article, we will try to clear up many of the misconceptions that are prevalent about Islam.
