Yes No Ayub Hamid Ayub Hamid, Knows something about religion Answered Apr 4 2016 The Qur-aan is the collection of the word of God, Allaah swt, revealed literally to Prophet Muhammad (Allaah's blesings and peace be upon him). It is the Book of Allaah's guidance that explains Islamic beliefs, makes a rational case for those beliefs and gives major policies, principles and stipulations according to which a Muslim should live in this world in obedience to Allaah swt (the exalted and glorified). The Qur-aan is the only book in the world which contains the exact and pure word of God Himself. While preaching and practising the Qur-aan and Islam, the Prophet interacted with his followers and explained and discussed things and approved or disapproved things. His followers reported those words and deeds of the Prophet; those reports are called Hadith or Hadeeth. The collections of Hadeeth are like the Bible, the OT and NT. People reported and wrote what they heard and observed from the prophets and messengers. The difference between the Bible and the Hadeeth is that the authors of the reports contained in the Bible are totally unknown people; while the reporters of the Hadeeth are all known people and the chains of the narrations have been established. The word Shariah or Sharee'ah is used for the rules and regulations derived from or under the Qur-aan, with the help of Hadeeth. We can roughly consider the Qur-aan as the constitution and the Sharee'ah as the rules and regulations made under the constitution.

Preserved in a written form by the scribes of the Prophet. The final collection brought together in the form of a book within a year of the Prophet's death - the same exact book that we can now purchase from Amazon almost 1400 years later - something that God Himself promised within the pages of the book that He will take the responsibility of preserving His Book for all time to come. Hadith: collections of the sayings of the Prophet, the most well known, the collection of Bukhari, brought together about 200 years after the death of the Prophet. Any modern day investigative reporter would be be proud of Imam Bukhari's work from 1200 years ago, as he travelled from town to town and village to village, interviewing - grilling may be a better description - any person who was known to have a knowledge of some saying of the prophet. Bukhari's methodology was amazingly sound from a scientific standpoint. He traced each report all the way back to the Prophet, documenting the chain of transmission in painstaking detail. He then classified his collection based on the number of chains of transmission he could document; creating four classes of reliability, with 4 chains the best and a mere 1 chain as the least reliable. It has been said that Imam Bukhari had almost 100,000 Hadith in his possession, of which he considered only around 4000 good enough to be included in his collection. He destroyed the rest. There are a few other less well known collections. Sharia: Laws claimed to be derived from the Qur'an and the life example of the Prophet that some Muslim nations try to implement.

Agha Talal

As per muslim belief
Quran: The literal Word of God revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) via the Archangel Gabriel (may Allah be pleased with him). It contains guidance for mankind regarding their spiritual and worldly affairs.
Hadith: These are the sayings, actions and tacit approvals of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). As muslims we consider the Holy Prophet( peace be upon him) as the finest human being and therefore we try our best to emulate him. According to some scholars the term ‘hadith’ is used interchangeably with the term ‘sunnah’ [practices & habits of the Prophet)
Sharia: The body of laws derived from Islamic sources two of which are the Quran and the Hadith followed by Ijma ( consensus of opinion) and Ijtihad. Ijtihad is to use one’s reason to look for new solutions to new problems in the light of the Quran and the Hadith.
