Title: Teachings from the Qur
1Teachings from the Quran and Hadith
2The Quran is the holy book of Islam.
- Muslims believe the Quran is the book of Gods
guidance and direction for mankind. - Muslims consider the original Arabic text to be
the final revelation of God. - Islam says that the Quran was revealed to
Muhammad by the angel Gabriel over a period of 23
years. - The Quran was written down by Muhammad's
followers while he was alive, although most early
teaching was done orally.
3The Hadith and The Sunnah
- The Hadith is a collection of the sayings about
the actions of Muhammad. - The Sunnah is a record of the way Muhammad lived
his life which should serve as an example to
Muslims. - The concepts are very similar, but not identical.
