What is the sunnah?

The sunnah is the sayings and practices/doings of prophet Muhammad; peace be upon him
It means prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sayings and practices. This should be followed by Muslims together with Quran teachings.

Answer:

The word "sunnah" means a way, a practice. It is like the term "method of operation".

This word can apply to anyone - even God. God has "a way" of dealing with His creation.

In Islamic terminology, the 'Sunnah' means the way and example of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him - PBUH). The 'Sunnah' includes things that Muhammad said and did - even down to how he wore his clothes - and things that he approved or disapproved of.

The wisdom of this is that God reaveals a scripture, and the Prophet to whom He reveals it then shows his people how to live by that scripture. He is our example. For instance God, in the Qur'an, tells us to pray. Without the example of our beloved Muhammad (PBUH), we would not know how or when to pray. He showed us.

Therefore, we follow the Qur'an, and the Sunnah. That is why we are called 'Sunni' Muslims. We are the majority. 85%. We are the true, orthodox Muslims. Other groups - like the Shiah - are off in left field, inventing all kinds of incorrect things and falling away from what Muhammad taught.

What was the age of hazrat zainab bint hajash?

She died at the age of 53 in either 641 or 643 (the historians disagree).

This probably means 53 lunar years. If we assume the pre-Islamic year was identical to the post-Hijra year (which is not, in fact, a safe assumption) and convert all dates to Gregorian (which is an anachronism), this is what I calculate.

Her earliest possible date of birth is 3 August 588.

Her latest possible date of birth is 18 June 592.

Mean = 11/12 July 590

She married Mohammed in April 527, so she was about then 37 years old, plus or minus quite a bit of inaccuracy.

Id-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the begining 3 days of Shawwal (10th Month) and comes as a reward or celebration after a whole month of fasting in Ramadan (9th Month).

The Islamic calendar is based on Lunar system better known as the Hijrah Calendar and therefore the months on lunar calendar are not fixed and vary as with the general Gregorian Calendar being followed. Every Hijrah year has few less days than the previous Gregorian year and, therefore, cannot be pre-determined as opposed to the Gregorian Calendar.
