Hadith Studies Course

Study the authentic sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — the second source of Islamic guidance, preserved for 1,400 years.

The Sunnah as Guidance
“I have left among you two things — you will never go astray as long as you hold fast to them: the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet.”
[Al-Hakim — Sahih]
The Second Revelation

Why Study Hadith?

The Quran is the word of Allah ﷼. The Hadith is the word and example of His Prophet ﷺ. Together they form the complete guidance of Islam. Without Hadith, a Muslim cannot pray correctly, fast correctly, or apply the Quran in daily life.

The Six Major Collections

Students are introduced to Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, and al-Nasa’i — and the grading of Hadith as Sahih, Hasan, or Da’if.

Isnad (Chain of Narration)

The science of Hadith includes verifying the chain of narrators. Students learn how scholars authenticated traditions and why this science is unique to Islam.

Fiqh al-Hadith

Understanding what rulings are derived from each Hadith — connecting Hadith directly to Islamic law and the practical guidance needed for daily Muslim life.

Forty Nawawi

Beginners start with Imam Nawawi’s famous collection of 42 Hadith — an ideal introduction covering the most fundamental principles of Islam.

Lives of the Narrators

Each great narrator is a window into Islamic history. Students learn brief biographies of the Companions and scholars who preserved the Sunnah.

Hadith in Daily Practice

From the way we sleep, to how we eat, to how we treat neighbours — the Prophet’s ﷺ example covers every aspect of life.
