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

Faith is a dear and important aspect of the personal lives of billions of people
around the globe. Thus, to critically analyze an aspect of a faith is very sensitive.
Nevertheless, the author felt that such an academic research would help him and the
society uncover some very important issues regarding the hadiths.
This is why the author felt compelled to conduct a research that involved
questioning the credibility of hadiths. Before we make hadiths the basis of all our Islamic
jurisprudence, it is important, from a religious perspective, to question the credibility of
the hadiths itself in the light of Islam. Only after we can justify the credibility of the
hadiths can we accept its social and legal implications that follow.
Therefore, one key component of the research was to understand and analyze the
credibility of the hadiths. This is important from a religious perspective because it is of
utmost importance for us to worship only the divine and to discard all falsehood.
From a social perspective, it is also important because of the influence of religious
in our society. Hence, the other key element to the research was to understand how
people received hadiths in their daily lives, so as to really understanding the influence of
hadiths in their lives.
