Sacred Texts of Islam

Clear Targets1. I can differentiate between

the Sunnah, Hadith, & Qur’an.

2. I can explain the importance of the Sunnah & Hadith.

Qur’anOWords of Allah OConsists of 114 “Surahs” or

“Chapters.”.

Qur’anOEach Surah consists of

“Ayah”, or “Verses.” OEach ayah is literally

considered to be a “sign from God.”

Quotes from the Qur’an

OAnd your Allah is One Allah: There is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.”

O“If the debtor is in a difficulty, grant him time Till it is easy for him to repay. But if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if ye only knew.”

Quotes from the Qur’an

O“There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

O“Much silence and a good disposition, there are no two works better than those.”

HadithO(Arabic for "narrative" or "report")

OAlthough not the spoken Word of God

HadithOimportant source of doctrine, law,

and practice. O"revered in Islam as a major source

of religious law and moral guidance” OA hadith is a narration about the life

of the Prophet or what he approved

Quotes from the HadithOThe strong person is not the good

wrestler. Rather, the strong person is the one who controls himself when he is angry.(Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 73, #135)”

SunnahO Arabic word sunnah -the way

Prophet Muhammad lived his life.O The Arabic word hadith (pl. ahadith)

is very similar to Sunnah, but not identical.
