Dhun-Nun Al-Masri said:
From the signs of one's love for Allah, is following His beloved Prophet's (S.A.W.S.) actions, manners, command and recommendation.

Allah says:
"Say; 'if you really love Allah then follow me and Allah will love you and forgive your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.' " (Aal-Imraan, 3:31)

Hasan Al-Basri said:
The sign of their love (for Allah) is in their adherence to the Sunnah of His Prophet (S.A.W.S.).

The rank of the believer is measured by his following of the Messenger (S.A.W.S.) - he is higher and more exalted with Allah according to the extent of his practicing of the Sunnah.

It is interesting to note that if one of us lost some money, how concerned and worried we would be and how much effort we would exert in trying to find it. But how many Sunnah have we lost in our lives? Does this sadden us? Have we strived to revive them in our lives? One of the problems we suffer from is that we have begun to value and admire money more than the Sunnah. If people were told that whoever observed a Sunnah from the Sunnah of the Prophet (S.A.W.S.) would receive a certain amount of money, then you would certainly find them wanting to and striving to observe the Sunnah in all of their affairs, from the morning to the evening. Why? Only because they would gain some money for every Sunnah practised. How this wealth benefit us when we are placed in our graves and the earth's dust is poured on us?

Allah says:
"Nay, you prefer the life of this world although the Hereafter is better and more lasting." (Al-Alaa, 87: 16-17)

The Sunnah below are those things for which the one performing them is rewarded, while not being penalized for leaving them. In addition, they are those things that are repeated in the day and night and are therefore within the capacity and ability of everyone to perform. It is possible for every person, if they strove to observe these daily Sunnah, to perform no less than a thousand Sunnah daily, covering all aspects of their lives. If the Muslim sought to observe a thousand Sunnah in the day and night, this would be approximately thirty thousand Sunnah in a month.

Look at the person who is ignorant of these Sunnah or who knows them but does not act by them: how much rank and reward does he forfeit for himself? Indeed he is truely deprived.

From the benefits of adhering to the Sunnah are:

* To reach the level of love - Love of Allah for his believing slave.
* It is a means to compensate for any deficiency in the obligatory actions.
* It is a protection from falling into innovation.
* It indicates the exaltation of those things that represent the religion of Allah. (To exalt, in the sense means to adhere to, or comply with something.)

By Allah, O Ummah of Isalm, revive the Sunnah of your Messenger (S.A.W.S.) in all aspects of your lives, for the Sunnah is evidence of your complete love for the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.S.) and a sign of your sincerity in following him.
