Ramadan Karim
Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Ramadan Karim to all my brothers and sisters in Islam. May Allah Azzawajal accept all of our fasts, and du'as this blessed month. For those that cannot fast for some medical concerns, may Allah subhana Wa Ta'ala give you the reward of fasting despite your physical limitations, and may He allow you to have the opportunity to fast again, and taste the beautiful joy of opening your fast after a long day.
WaSalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.

The Wisdom of Following The Sunnah
Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
Say: "Obey Allah and His Messenger": But if they turn back, Allah loveth not those who reject Faith. (Surah Al-Imran v. 32)
Narrated AbuDharr: "The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said to us: When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down." (Sunan Abu Dawud Book 41, Number 4764)
There seem to be quite a few muslims nowadays who question the merits of following the Sunnah of our Beloved Messenger and Prophet SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallim (SAW). Amongst them, some feel that it is unnecessary, others feel it's optional, and others have no opinion either way. But I'm always pleased when we see proof, because that's what some people need to satisfy their hearts, that prove that what our beloved Rasool (SAW) has taught us, commanded us, and exemplified for us has a wisdom we may or may not see in our lifetime. Their is a wisdom from a zahiri, or outwardly, perspective as well as a batini, or inwardly perspective. Likewise, there is benefit in our worldly lives, and there is benefit for our akhira (afterlife).
Below, the link describes a research study that confirms the above hadith about anger. It is a well known hadith; very simple in its instructions and very clearly understood. For those who need satisfaction of the heart based on science, here you go:
WaSalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.

Who is Allah?
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things. (Suratul-Nur Ayah 35)
