Sunnah (Arabic: سَنَةٌ) is an Arabic word meaning "tradition" or "way." For Muslims, it means "the way of the prophet." The Sunnites try to follow Muhammad's words, actions, and teachings.
Muslim scholars learn about the Sunnah by studying thousands of stories, called hadith, about Muhammad, his family, and his first followers.
