Based on a listener request, this is the first of two episodes of StraightTalk which focus on hadith and sunna, the body of literature that documents the sayings and actions by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Dr. Maher Hathout and StraightTalk producer Maha Awad dive into the meaning and origins of hadith, knowing how to spot weak or problematic hadith and understanding how to translate the lessons from the Prophet’s life and character to our lives today.
Here’s just a taste of the questions they explore:
- When did the Prophet first come to life for you?
- Do you think the Prophet’s way of life is truly timeless, and how do we bring him into the present world?
- Can a hadith abrogate or supercede the Quran?
- Why didn’t the Prophet want the hadith written down?
- When were the hadith documented, verified and preserved?
