HadithCollection of the teachings of Muhammad and stories about his life, regarded by Muslims as a guide to living second only to the Koran. The teachings were at first transmitted orally, but this led to a large number of Hadiths whose origin was in doubt; later, scholars such as Muhammad al-Bukhari (810-870) collected together those believed to be authentic, and these collections form the Hadith accepted by Muslims today. |

The Muslim who says Islam is peace finds very little support in the Quran and the Hadith (traditions related to sayings and actions of Muhammad)," she said in an interview Tuesday. For example, Shenk explains the meaning of sunnah (following "the way" of the prophet Muhammad), Hadith (the collected traditions about the Prophet circulated during the first two centuries of the Muslim era), and the Shari'a (the ongoing judgments of authoritative Muslim teachers regarding how to obey the Qur'an as the revelation of Allah's unchanging will)--terms frequently used in current commentary about events in Iraq and the greater Middle East. In all of this she exemplified those quotations from the Qur'an and the Hadith. |
