Allah `azza wa jall gave us His Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam as a sufficient source (of His Sharee`ah). He revealed to the Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, during the Farewall Hajj, on `Arafat, “This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.” [Al-Ma'idah (5):3]

Therefore, the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah regulate the life of individuals as well as societies, guaranteeing happiness in this world and in the next. Turning away from them is the cause of suffering in this world and in the next, whether one turns away from them by replacing them with fabricated narrations and authored verses (of poetry), or by leaving them completely and applying instead worldly programs and human laws.
