Abstract EN

The subject matter of this research revolves around the full compliance of the rightly guided Caliphs with the teaching and traditions of the Prophet, alias the Sunnah.

The reason this topic is of a great significance is the fact the Sunnah, together with the Quran, provide the divine legal and legislative establishment from and upon which Islamic law is founded.

The strict compliance of the Rightly Guided Caliphs with the Sunnah and that it is being admitted as a religious authority that Muslims refer to in all their affairs have confirmed its due authority, prominent status, and significance .

The research highlights the significant role that the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs has played in establishing the Sunnah, the fundamental rules to transmit and verify it, and explicate the right methodology to understand and infer the statements of the Prophet, and explain the guidelines of using it as evidence.

This document has clarified how the Sunnah was held by high esteem by the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and that it was their reference of authority for legalisation after the Quran, administrating the affairs of the Muslims.
