سنن refers to the practices and traditions established by the Prophet محمد in الإسلام. These actions serve as a model for Muslims to follow in their daily lives, encompassing various aspects such as worship, ethics, and social interactions. The term is often contrasted with فرائض, which are obligatory acts of worship. While سنن are recommended and carry rewards for those who observe them, they are not mandatory. Following the سنن helps strengthen a Muslim's faith and connection to الله by emulating the Prophet's example.
