How do we know what is truly from the Prophet ﷺ and the Ahlulbayt (ع)? How do we distinguish authentic guidance from fabrication? And why does Islam command us not only to learn hadith - but to deeply understand it?

In this latest installment of of our Life series: Types of Knowledge is Islam, we move from the theoretical foundations of religious knowledge into the practical, necessary study of Hadith. Building upon our previous discussions on the Quran as the core of Islamic epistemology and Hadeeth al-Thaqalayn, this lesson explores how the Holy Quran functions as the ultimate criterion (furqan) for evaluating narrations.

In this lecture, we study the following questions:

• what is the relationship between the Holy Quran and the Hadeeth (the Tradition / narrations)?
• what is the most important criterion for assessing the validity and authenticity of a narration?
• if all knowledge is contained in the Holy Quran, why are we not able to extract its deepest meanings ourselves?
• whose narrations are included in the notion of Sunna / Tradition?

In this lecture, we bridge the gap between the Holy Quran and the Sunnah. We analyze why the Prophet (s) left behind Two Weighty Things, not just one, and what that means for our faith today.

This is a must-watch for anyone seeking to understand how Islam constructs its epistemological framework.
