The Hadith
I In this section we covers issues around the Hadith such as what is it? Is it as as important as the Quran for Muslims and should it be? Does the Hadith contradict the Quran, and much more?
An Introduction to the Hadith. What is it?
The Hadith is a set of additional books to the Quran which the large majority of Muslims use to build their beliefs of Islam upon. What we refer to as the Hadith is actually a collection of individual Hadiths[1]. For the Sunni sect of Islam (which makes up about 90% of Muslims) there are six sets of books while the Shia have four books, depending on which branch of the Shia sect they follow. In the articles I write on this subject will be mainly concentrating on the Sunni Hadith collections.
The word Hadith is Arabic for report or account or talk.
The Hadith - the Quran says no
Nearly all Muslims have and use the Hadith but what does the Quran have to say about the existance of an Hadith? I think Muslims may be surprised to find that the Quran clearly says no to any Hadith and goes as far as to condemn the practice.
Places where the Hadith contradicts the Quran
Here are just some of the examples of where the Hadith gives an intstruction that is is contradiction of what the Quran says or adds to the Quran - even though the Quran bans such a thing.

I can not leave it like this!
The purpose of this website is not about exposing the lies and deceit of your particular belief and then leave with no hope and nothing to believe in and no purpose in your life. While it may be a good thing to realise it if you have been lied to too or deceived, this does not mean there is no truth out there.
There is truth and something that you can believe in and commit to and it will change your life – not just for now but for all eternity. Now I am not saying all your problems and troubles will disappear while you are alive in this present world but what you can have is a peace that is greater than your worldly problems. I want to be clear on this – for some people, becoming a Christian could make your life a lot harder. But despite all this, you can have a purpose in your life despite what circumstances you find yourself in. You can have a real fellowship with the living God and actually have God himself dwelling inside you by His Holy Spirit. No one ever regrets becoming a Christian. In the end we will spend eternity with Jesus in paradise. As Paul said “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” (2 Corinthians 4:17). If you read the book of Acts and see what Paul went through, it is remarkable that he would describe them as “light and momentary troubles.”
The good news is that free and available to all of mankind. You don’t have to be clever or rich or gifted or be from a certain family or country. Anyone can receive it.
The Bible tells you all you have to do is “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.” That is taken from Acts 16:31. One of the most famous verses from the Bible has the same message, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16).
There are actually a lot of Bible verses that have the same message about salvation being free and simple but I will quote just one more on this which is Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
It is a very important principle to grasp that we can bring nothing to our salvation. It is a gift from God by His grace and we can not add any of our own works to it.
