RELATION IN THE QUR’AN AND HADITH: A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

Qur’an is the most sacred book which is the Central religious text of Islamic faith. It contains the Sayings of Allah which were revealed on His Prophet Muhammad (SAS) through the Angel Jibril (AS) in piecemeal over a period of 23 years. The pieces and fragments of the Qur’ānic revelations had been written and preserved in different ways and methods during and after the life time of the holy Prophet Muhammad (SAS), which were collected and finally compiled into the present book form during the caliphate Uthman Ibnu ’Affan (R A). On the other hand, Hadith is considered to be the Second authority in Islam after the Holy Qur’ān. It contains the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (SAS), his deeds and actions covering the whole life.
