Strata E agreed mostly that authentic hadiths can help us to better understand the Quran, since the Quran is a compressed text (Q6). Albeit Strata E were neutral (with a high standard deviation) about whether the hadiths were necessary in understanding the Quran (Q5), they all believed that this doesn‟t mean that the Quran can‟t be understood without the hadiths (Q7). Most samples in Strata E felt that the Quran and hadith should be questioned, and that‟s the only way we can learn about the truth. They all agreed that this will increase clarity, understanding and faith among the believers (Q17). Standard deviations for all the answers given by Strata M were strikingly low. Completely agreeing to the fact that hadiths are essential in comprehending the Quran (Q5), Strata M explained this by saying that the Quran is a compressed text, and not all decrees and commandments are fully explained in the Quran. Hence, the hadiths are necessary to further extend on the Quran (Q6). On the sensitive specialized questions, again, variance from Strata M was negligible, and answers were highly conservative. They believe that apostasy is punishable by death and adultery is punishable by stoning to death. 15
However, Strata M showed considerable deviation on Q12, although more or less agreeing that women aren‟t fit for leadership. Strata M believe that it is wrong to question absolute truths like the Quran and hadiths. Two interviews were also taken for a more qualitative analysis about the importance and credibility of hadiths in Islam. The interviewees were Mr Fayzullah, the imam of the Masjid-e-Taqwa Jame Mosque, someone who is a supporter of hadiths and Mr Yamin Choudhury, a teacher of The Aga Khan School, Dhaka, who opposes hadiths. Their inclinations were known prior to the interview. Notes were taken during the interview. After the interview, the interviews were transcribed, and are available in Appendix 2. Both interviewers were cooperative enough to extend a hand for future discussions regarding this topic. The interview presented the interviewees an avenue to present their viewpoints and to support their ideologies. A full report about the interview is available in Appendix 3. 16
