Quran
- The holy scripture of Islam
- Divinely created, not divinely inspired like the Bible or Torah
- Was not authored by Muhammad
- Muhammad was just the one that presented it to mankind
- Written in Arabic and cannot be translated as message will be lost in translation
- Not chronologically in order but written based on passage length
- Goes from longest passages to shortest passages
- Gives the rules of Islam and how one should perform the actions
Hadiths
- The sayings and deeds of the prophet Muhammad
- Made up of stories and fables
- Tell how one is supposed to live their life
- Similar to the sayings of Jesus in Christianity
- Important in Islam although not as important as the Quran since the hadiths were created by man and not God
- Had to be tested for authenticity since people could have made some of the hadiths up
