About This Book:
Introduction to Fabricated Hadith
Technically, Hadith refers to the saying and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.S); Hadith serves as a most crucial aspect of the Islamic faith and practice among the populace. Nevertheless, a number of Hadiths have been indeed forged with the passage of time and they are surrounded in an attempt to meet certain political gains. This has had serious implications on Muslims and at some point produced wrong interpretations about the religion of Islam.
How Fabricated Hadith Emerge
Fabricated Hadith usually came into light when there were political, social or ideological tensions existed. People or communities would quote the Prophet in specific situations to justify actions they would undertake, beliefs they harbored and even the policies they supported. These forged Hadith further preach different from the teachings of Islam and therefore mislead the people besides dividing the society.
Impact on Islam and its Precepts
innovations have brought into the fabric of the religion concepts and practices that are alien to genuine Islamic teachings. As these false sayings were in circulation, they generated misconceptions about the norms of the Islamic Shari’ah. This has resulted into practices that are incongruent with the message communicated in the Quran and the authentic Hadith and sometimes Muslims practice what is actually an invention of ignorance.
