The Significance of Hadith

Week 8 Islamiyat for S3

Hadith and Sunnah

Word “Hadith” is derived from Arabic word “Hadatsa”, which means, “to be new” (opposite of ancient). Ahadis are sayings of Muhammad (PBUH). Sunnah is practices of Muhammad (PBUH). Sunnah is what Muhammad (PBUH) practiced and Hadis is the channel through which his Sunnah is preserved and perpetuated. Ahadis and Sunnah are second source of Islamic law.

The Role of Ahadiths

Ahadiths explain the Holy Quran and expand on its laws e.g.: The Holy Quran says, “And establish prayers at the two ends of the day and in some watches of the night” and “Be guardian of your Prayers, especially the middle Prayer”, while Ahadis further elucidate on the timings, structure and procedure of Salat. The Holy Quran says, “Pay the Zakat” while Ahadis give rules and regulations for its collection and distribution etc. The Holy Quran says, “Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makkah) for Allah”, while Ahadis explain the whole procedure of Hajj, its virtues etc.
