Ever wondered where Muslims get their guidance and religious laws from? While the Quran is the direct word of God, it’s not the only source of Islamic teachings. There’s another fundamental body of work that acts as a blueprint for how to live a life of faith, providing practical examples and wisdom from the final prophet. So, what are these two primary sources that serve as the foundation of Islamic guidance?

- A) The Quran and Hadith

The Quran is the divine book revealed by Allah to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the Hadith are the recorded sayings and actions of the Prophet.
Allah says in the Quran:
“And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.” (Quran 16:89).
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my Sunnah, and if you follow them you will never go astray.” (Muwatta Malik 1628).
