Islam is a beautiful religion to every Muslim. Islam guides us in every aspect of life. Islam teaches to live in peace, harmony and simplicity. The importance of Islam is described in the light of the Holy Qur’an and Hadith. Islam gives us the teaching of Hadith and Sunnah which is briefly described in the Qur’an Majeed. The relationship between the Qur’an, Hadith and Islam is very complex as they are interconnected. Islam is the only religion where different Hadith are given to the Muslims. It guides the Muslims to choose the right path in their life. If any problem arises, the Qur’an is the best source of guiding them.
The Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) by the Almighty Allah, and Allah chose Hazrat Gibrael to send down this revelation in the mid of 610 AD to 632 AD, and it is the last book of Allah which is completed and protected by Allah for the Muslims. It has 144 chapters known as surahs and verses, and the message of Allah is explained in the Holy Qur’an in a very simple language. This book gives us the message of peace and love for others. The Qur’an is a divine book for every Muslim. This book is basically the constitution of the Muslim society. It is a complete book for the Muslims where all the laws of Islam are described and the solutions to problems related to everyday life are discussed. The Qur’an helps in building up the Islamic society.
Every Muslim, having faith in Islam, recites the Qur’an daily and follows its principle in their day-to-day life. Muslims obey the teaching of Muhammad, the God’s messenger. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has always asked the Muslims to recite the Holy Qur’an with translation as it contains all the teaching of Islam.
Through Hadith, one can lead a life according to the teachings of Islam, as Hadith are the sayings of the Holy Prophet (SAW). The Qur’an, Hadith and Islam, all are the same but differ in some respect and have individual importance.
As Allah has said:
“And obey Allah and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy” (Surah Aal-Imran: 132)
In another verse, Allah says:
And how do we fulfill this obligation if not by observing what he said and did so that we may obey and follow these instructions? And are not the Hadith the collection of what the Prophet (SAW) said and did? Thus if it is compulsory for us to obey the Prophet (SAW), it is necessary for us to look at the Hadith so we may know WHAT it is we are supposed to be obeying, n’est-ce pas? “He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah,” (An-Nisa: 80)
Definition of Hadith by the scholar:
The Hadith are mainly a collection of rituals, sayings, and rulings by scholars claimed to be from the Prophet Mohammed that was recorded hundreds of years after his death. Mainstream Muslims typically accept the Hadith as another religious text paired with the Quran. However, the Quran is explicit in the fact that it was to be the final and complete text of God.
