A recent National Symposium on the Foundation of Islamic Civilisation has highlighted the significance of Hadith and principles of Jurisprudence in shaping Islamic law and practices.
The symposium, which explored the interplay between Hadith and jurisprudence, featured keynote speakers who emphasized the importance of understanding and applying Hadith in everyday life.
Dr. Taufiq Abubakar Husseini, Director of Centre for Islamic Civilisation and Interfaith Dialogue, noted that the Hadith is crucial in Islam, providing guidance on various aspects of life and complementing the teachings of the Quran.
He added that the Hadith is integral to the understanding and practice of Islam, enriching the spiritual and communal life.
Vice Chancellor of Bayero University Kano, Prof. Sagir Abbas, echoed similar sentiments, stating that Hadith is the practical manifestation of the Quran’s teachings, providing authentic sayings, actions and approvals of the Messenger of Allah (SAW).
He emphasized that following authentic Hadith preserves the unity of Muslims and ensures adherence to the same Sunnah as the early generations.
The symposium called for a careful examination of grey areas of contention and the domestication of Hadith and jurisprudence in accordance to the Sunnah.
The speakers emphasized the importance of civility and constructive dialogue in addressing challenging issues and fostering mutual respect and sustainable solutions.
The event highlighted the need for true scholarly deliberations and presentations on the topic, with the aim of better informing the Muslim community about the significance of Hadith and jurisprudence.
