Contrary to popular opinion, the bulk of Islamic law does not come from the Qu'ran but rather from hadith, first-hand reports of the prophet Muhammad's words & deeds, passed from generation to generation. This volume explores the collection & criticism of hadith & examines the controversy surrounding its role in modern Islam.
