Sunni traditions

Sunni Islam is the largest branch of Islam, emphasizing the importance of community consensus and following the example of Prophet Muhammad. Sunnis believe that leadership after Muhammad's death should be chosen by the community, leading to the appointment of caliphs. They focus on the Quran, Hadith (sayings of Muhammad), and a cohesive legal and theological tradition. Sunni practices include daily prayers, fasting during Ramadan, and charity. Their traditions aim to preserve the teachings of Islam as practiced during the Prophet’s life, fostering unity and adherence to core principles across diverse cultures worldwide.
