Question

What is the importance of Hadith in islam? Can a average person reject the hadith or it is the job of ulma?

Answer 1

Astaghfiruulah!

the important of hadith in 1 qfactor's mind is much less then importance of his own prophet's (The Iblees Mirza Kizzab).

no one can change or reject hadith (according to sunflower)but she herself.

there is no need to bring a person to reject the hadith 1 qfactor and sunflower are enough to do it.

if they do not reject it (to show that they are muslim)they twist it.

same thing :if not reject then twist.

Answer 2

Most laymans do not have even the basic knowledge of Mustalah al Hadeeth.. knowing the words: "Saheeh" and "Da'eef" doesnt give a person a right to reject a Hadeeth.

The Ulemaa on the other hand, they know the Madaar al Isnaad of ahaadeeth, they know 'Ilm ar Rijaal, they know 'illal al Hadeeth, they know the asaaneed and the details pertaining to the Riwaayaat.

There is a lot to be learned in the study of Hadeeth.  

Answer 3

The Hadith provides us with a human example of how to best live our lives, and how to best run a society. A visual, human example from the best of creation himself (Sal'Allahu Alayhi wa Salam). A person cannot reject a hadith. In the Qur'an, Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala tells us to take the Prophet (Sal'Allahu Alayhi wa Salam) as an example for all of mankind.

So every Sahih and agreed-upon hadith must be taken very seriously on our account, to strengthen our iman and spiritual body.

Because there is no one who could provide us with better examples on how to get closer to Allah Ta'ala than our beloved Rasul (Sal'Allahu Alayhi wa Salam).

May Allah strengthen our iman and give us purity in our actions.

Answer 4

For God's sake , rebel a little peeps  

Answer 5

|Hadith are important as they explain the Qur'an. The Qur'an is a complete book, however, just as if you had a textbook on biology, and on one page it said 'please read page 68 in the textbook 'active transport in plants' you'd go to that textbook, and you'd read that page for more info, in the same way, the hadiths are like that page 68 and go into depth.

However, any hadith which contradicts the Qur'an is wrong. Just like the hadith which states an apostate gets 3 days to convert back to Islam or he is killed. That hadith (if you look at its historical context it isn't relevant today anyway) contradicts the Qur'an, where it says 'there is no compulsion in religion'

Answer 6

VERY IMPORTANT>Allah says:: "O you who believe! Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger, and make not vain your deeds!"[Quran; 47: 33]

Quran and the Sunnah do not contradict one another, rather they complement one another. When Allaah Says in this verse that the Messenger p.b.u.h. is to be obeyed, he is not only talking to that honorable group of Muslims that accompanied the Prophet(p.b.u.h.)during his lifetime. He is speaking to all of the Muslims that will come up until the Last Day.

Allaah Says (what means):  "…And We have sent down unto you (O Muhammad) the Reminder, that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them, and that they may give thought." [Quran; 16: 44]

Furthermore, giving the needed details to carry out certain commands given in the Quran was another very vital role played by the Sunnah. For example, Allaah commands us to establish the Prayers and to pay the obligatory charity (Zakaah), saying (what means): “And establish the prayers and give Zakaah (the obligatory charity) and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].” [Quran; 2:43] Yet, nowhere in the Quran does Allaah give the required details to implement His command, and it was the Sunnah that gave us all the details of the how, when, who of this command.

Additionally, Allaah Says (what means): "…(And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allaah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allaah and the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination." [Quran; 4: 59]

It is very important to follow authentic ahadith.

An Average person, cannot reject the hadith for all. if he rejects one then its up to him, he will either earn good for rejecting unauthentic hadith and he could earn bad for rejecting authentic hadith.

ulma are those who spends their lives in studying Islam in depth. we normal or average person cannot understand it all that into depth, thats why we have scholars, ulama,mufti etc.

Rest Allah knows the best~!

Answer 7

the language of Hadith is simplefor peopleto understan , not like QURAN where u must be fluent in Arabic to know the exact meaning of each verse.

the importance is that Hadith is QURAN's explainer

Answer 8

I agree with Love Allah.

I like to add that Hadith is also a source in Islam. We can't exclude Hadiths from our belief as far as it is said in Quran:

3:132 And pay heed unto God and the Apostle, so that you might be graced with mercy.

4:13 These are the bounds set by God. And whoever pays heed unto God and His Apostle, him will He bring into gardens through which running waters flow, therein to abide: and this is a triumph supreme.

4:80 Whoever pays heed unto the Apostle pays heed unto God thereby; and as for those who turn away - We have not sent thee to be their keeper.

Hope it answers the question.
