Most samples of Strata E expressed their full faith in God, although admitting that
they aren‟t very practicing. An interesting observation is that, albeit they 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).
The open ended questions answered by the Strata E showed varied results. The
Strata E was confused as to whether hadiths are essential in interpreting the Quran.
Although the mean answer was neutral, the explanation ranged from the Quran being
self-sustainable to the hadiths being absolutely necessary to understand the Quran.
However, most explanations centered on the point that authentic hadiths can help us to
better understand the Quran, since the Quran is a compressed text.
