While you're making the distinction, what exactly is/are the Sunnah? I gather it means "sayings" - are these all made up, like the Hadiths?Shrunk wrote:Just a minor point of clarification: If by "holy book" you mean the Quran, it's not actually mentioned there. It is copiously documented in the Hadith, however.

The Sunnah is the manner or deeds of Muhammad and validated by the consensus of companions of Muhammad (Sahaba) in Sunni Islam, and the way or deeds of Muhammad and the twelve Imams in Shi'a Islam, while hadith is a collection of the narrations and approvals. The two words are sometimes taken to be interchangeable, referring to the Traditions, but difference lies depending on the context. Scholars of Hadiths have studied the narrations from their context (matn) as well as from their transmitters (isnad) in order to establish the hadith and discriminate the false ones from the true or proper ones. These were influential in the development of early Muslim philosophy and modern scientific citation. The allegiance to the tribal sunnah, which had been partially replaced during the time of the Prophet by submission to a new universal authority, and the feeling of brotherhood among all Muslims which had replaced Muhammad's death.
