The main problem within islam (in my opinion) is that people take every Hadith (narrations attributed to Muhammad) too serouisly. A lot of Hadith are immediately contradictory with the Quran as well as with other Hadith even when a context is provided. Out of curiosity, do you know anything about how these "Hadith" were compiled? |
They were compiled from oral reports of people claiming that they knew the prophet's sayings and teachings. But it was all collected after the death of the prophet so some might not be accurate. The most reliable is the collection written by Bukhari. I believe many of the hadith sayings and statements have been verified but there are still a few which may not be right. Also Shia and Sunni people don't follow all the same ones. They select the ones they follow based on who it was said by, or who it refers to. The different interpretations have caused differences of worship practices and rules between the two sects.
