Whilst holding a talk about the love of Rasulullah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and the importance of practicing upon his Sunnah, Faqihul Ummah Hadhrat Hajji Farooqi Sahab (rahimullah ta’ala) speaks about the phrase of ‘reviving the Sunnah’:
“It gets commonly said ['to revive the Sunnah'], but actually the person practicing upon Sunnah himself becomes alive through the Sunnah, because Sunnah is alive and will always stay alive. Sunnah is not dead, we have because of our misdeeds left the Sunnah and have left no connection to Sunnah with us, we have weakened Ta’aluq bi’Sunnah. That’s why this [phrase] gets uttered, but in reality we are dead and if we practice upon Sunnah then through the blessings of these practices we will become alive.”
