The noble Qur’an and pure Sunnah are the reference for every Muslim to study Islamic laws, and the Qur’an is understood according to the rules of its language. Arabic is without pretense or arbitrariness, and in understanding the pure Sunnah, it refers to trustworthy hadith experts.
The noble Al-Quran and the holy Sunna are references for every Muslim in understanding Islamic laws, and the Al-Quran is understood in accordance with the rules of the Arabic language, not takalluf (made up) and not ta’assuf (imposed), while in understanding the Sunnah the reference is the understanding of trusted hadith scholars.
Explanation:
In this principle, Imam Syahid Hasan al Banna Rahimahullah emphasized a great principle, the most solid foundation, that the Al-Quran and As-Sunnah are the most important sources, and the most noble references, for all Muslims in understanding various Islamic laws.
Understanding both correctly is a must to gain the light and guidance contained therein. Understanding both should not be arbitrary, but should be based on correct rules and methods and with credible scholars.
The noble Qur’an and pure Sunnah are the reference for every Muslim in knowing Islamic law.
“The noble Koran and the holy Sunnah are the reference for every Muslim in knowing Islamic laws.”
This confirms that the main sources of Islamic law are the authentic Al-Qur’an and As-Sunnah. Both are revelations from Allah, the Qur’an was revealed in its pronunciation and meaning, while the Sunnah was revealed in its meaning and then explained by the words, actions, or approval of the Prophet ﷺ.
Allah Ta’ala says:
He did not speak out of desire (3) It was nothing but a revealed revelation (4)
What he said did not come from his desires, but rather it was a revelation conveyed to him. (QS. An Najm: 3-4)
One of the Salaf figures, Hasan bin ‘Athiyah Rahimahullah said:
Jibril used to descend to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in accordance with the Sunnah as he descended to him through the Koran.
The angel Gabriel revealed the sunnah to the Prophet ﷺ as he revealed the Koran to him. (Sunan Ad Darimi no. 588. Al Hafizh Ibn Hajar said: authentic. Fathul Bari, 13/291)
Imam Ibn Hazm said:
So God Almighty tells us that the words of His Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, are all revelation, and that revelation, without dispute, is a dhikr, and that dhikr is preserved by the text of the Qur’an. Thus, all his words are true, may Allah SWT give him mercy and give him peace, preserved in the protection of God Almighty, and we are guaranteed that nothing will be lost, because what God Almighty preserves is certain that nothing will be lost, so everything is passed on to us, so it belongs to God. The argument is never ours
So Allah Ta’ala announced that all the words of the Prophet ﷺ were revelation. And revelation, without any difference of opinion, is adz-dhikr (warning). Meanwhile, adz-dhikr is maintained based on the text of the Koran. Thus, it is valid that all of his words ﷺ are protected by the protection of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, it is guaranteed for us that nothing from them will be lost. Because of what is guarded by Allah Ta’ala, with certainty it is impossible for anything to be lost from it. So everything has come to us, and Allah has proof over us forever.” (Al Ihkam fi Ushul Al Ahkam, 1/95)
A Muslim cannot use laws other than these two as the main and highest reference, although he can use the ijma’ and ijtihad of the ulama (qiyas) as his reference, but all of this still returns to the Al-Qur’an and Sunnah as the main basis.
When the Prophet ﷺ sent Muadz bin Jabal Radhiallahu ‘Anhu to Yemen, he asked Muadz:
How do you spend it? He said: I decided based on the Book of Allah. He said: If you don’t find it? He answered: In the Sunnah of the Prophet. He said: If you don’t find it? He said: I tried my best to make up my mind, but I didn’t care. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah beat his chest and said: Praise be to God who has guided the Messenger of Allah to what the Messenger of Allah is pleased with.
“When Rasulullah ﷺ sent Mu’adz bin Jabal to Yemen, he asked:
‘With what will you punish?’
Mu’adz replied: ‘With the Book of Allah (Al-Qur’an).’
He asked again: ‘If you don’t find it (in the Qur’an)?’
Mu’adz replied: ‘Likewise with the Sunnah of Rasulullah ﷺ.’
He asked again: ‘If you do not find it (in the Sunnah)?’
Mu’adz replied: ‘Then I will make ijtihad with my opinion as best I can.’
Then the Prophet ﷺ patted Mu’adz on the chest and said: ‘Praise be to Allah who has given the Messenger of Allah taufik for something that the Messenger of Allah was pleased with.’”
(HR. Abu Daud, At Tirmidhi, Ahmad, etc. Al Hafizh Ibnu Hajar said: hasan)
The Koran is understood according to Arabic rules, without pretense and arbitrariness.
“The Koran is understood according to the rules of the Arabic language without being contrived and without being forced.”
Because the Qur’an was revealed in fluent Arabic, understanding it must follow Arabic language rules; both nahwu, sharaf, balaghah, and uslub, the languages used by the Arabs at the time of the revelation. It is not permissible to interpret verses with meanings that are outside the rules of the Arabic language, let alone forcing interpretations with deviant desires or philosophies. Word of Allah Ta’ala:
Indeed, We have sent it down in the form of an Arabic Qur’an, so that you can understand it.
“Indeed, We have sent it down in the form of an Arabic Koran so that you can understand it.” (QS. Yusuf: 2)
So someone cannot understand, let alone interpret, the Qur’an only through translation and analyzing it only by reason without understanding the original language, not understanding asbabun nuzul, nasikh mansukh, and the explanations of expert scholars, this is not allowed and is dangerous.
From Ibn Abbas Radhiallahu ‘Anhu, that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
Whoever speaks about the Qur’an without knowledge will sit in hell
“Whoever speaks about (the contents of) the Koran without knowledge, a place is prepared for him in hell.” (HR. At Tirmidhi No. 4022, At Tirmidhi said: hasan sahih)
From Ibn Abbas Radhiallahu ‘Anhu, that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
Whoever speaks about the Qur’an according to his opinion, let him sit in Hell
“Whoever speaks about (the contents of) the Koran with his mind alone, he will be provided with a seat in hell.” (HR. At Tirmidhi No. 4023, he said: hasan)
In understanding the pure Sunnah, he refers to trusted hadith experts.
“And in understanding the holy Sunnah, the reference is trusted hadith experts.”
This means that the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ cannot be understood carelessly. You have to go through the route of trusted hadith experts (muhadditsin) (‘adl and dhabith), both in narrating and explaining and parsing the meaning.
Hadith scholars have sorted out which ones are authentic, hasan, dha’if, and even fake. Therefore, a Muslim is obliged to refer to trusted hadith scholars such as Imam Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ahmad, and also hadith teachers such as Ibn Hajar, An-Nawawi, Al ‘Aini, Ibn Baththal, etc. This is so as not to fall into a wrong understanding of the sunnah. How often do people quote hadiths and then spread them or create memes or hadith posters, but don’t understand their authenticity and don’t understand the meaning and laws in them. He understands it literally or as it is, so what happens is a misunderstanding or even a deviation.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
