Research Paper Analysis of Credibility of Hadiths and Its Influence ...

Section VII
Conclusion
When I began this research paper, I gave myself four objectives to meet. The first
objective was to understand the concept of hadith. As far as that goes, we have met the
definition of hadiths over and over again, and the concept has been well understood.
The next two objectives posed a much harder task – understanding the position of
hadiths in Islam and to question its credibility. By doing extensive reading on the issue I
believe I was able to explain the position given to hadiths by the traditional Islam.
Following that, I discussed some very sensitive yet important issues regarding hadiths,
including its necessity, origin and contents.
After this discussion I related my findings with how the people viewed the
concept of hadiths. Before I began this research, I always thought that deep down people
did care about their faith. After the research, I realized that, although most people do
ponder about Godly issues, very few make practical applications or practice their faiths
publicly. So for the mainstream Muslims in Bangladesh, religion is something divorced
from faith, deeply immersed in culture and family.
