Are present-day attacks on the sunnah something new, and have scholars answered these doubts through their writings?

Summary

This ruling cites Dr. Muhammad Ijaj al-Khatib, who states that attacks by enemies of Islam and groups aligned with them share one aim, which is to cast doubt on the sunnah that serves as an explanation of the Qur’an. Scholars have written many works to refute these doubts so that Muslims can hold fast to what is authentic from the Prophet. A list of reference books is given, including works by Muhammad Abu Zuhrah, Mustafa al-Siba’i and Nuruddin ‘Itr.
