The Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encompasses various aspects of life. This paper aims to elevate the role of the Sunnah as a source of knowledge, while also applying it as a guide for life. The Sunnah guidance during hot weather and rainy season is among the important practices should be applied to gain the promising rewards for following the Sunnah, and also to provide benefits for daily life activities. This paper, based on thematic hadith research, gathers several hadiths related to the chosen topic, using the dorar.net/hadith application. This application was chosen because its credibility and authenticity have been proven through studies at the higher education level. All collected hadiths are ensured to be authentic, either classified as sahih or at least hasan in which are accepted as sharia evidence in Islamic law. If there is a difference of opinion among hadith scholars regarding the status of a hadith, prioritization will be made based on hadith methodology. The Arabic text of the hadith is included to receive blessings and for personal reflection. If the hadith text is long and contains various issues, the focus will only be on the desired issue from the sub-topic provided, without addressing other issues. The study found that the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) related to hot weather and rain is highly significant, comprehensive, and suitable to be applied in human life. The Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) teaches humans to be aware and have faith in Allah (S.W.T.), in His power and to believe in the unseen, the Angels, and the Day of Judgment. Additionally, the application of the Sunnah, such as seeking shade, pouring water over the head, drinking cold beverages, avoiding crowds, and keeping oneself clean and fragrant, are very practical mitigation steps to reduce the negative effects of extreme heat. Meanwhile, the Sunnah's application in fostering awe toward natural phenomena, allowing raindrops to touch the body, praying, performing salah, expressing gratitude, not complaining, and avoiding superstitious beliefs reflects a deep sense of dependence on Allah (S.W.T.) and is very practical for spiritual aspects.
