Q&A · Hadith

What is the difference between the Quran and hadith?

The Quran is the literal speech of Allah revealed in Arabic, preserved word for word and recited in worship. Hadith are the recorded words, actions, and approvals of the Prophet ﷺ, which explain and apply the Quran but are not its equal in status or wording.
