Abstract
The Hadith, which contains the sayings, actions and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is considered to be the second primary source of Islamic jurisprudence. This editorial discusses the main sources, collection and construction of Hadith explaining how it has a crucial bearing on interpreting Islamic law, ethics and everyday activities. The dilemmas of Hadith interpretation through the ages and its relevance to modern ethical areas such as social justice, environmental stewardship, and human rights are examined. The editorial also shows that scholarly work to conserve and interpret the Hadith for current day is ongoing. Digital delivery improves access to Hadith Databases in continuing the circle of progress related to Islamic scholarship through technology. This paper makes a case for re-engaging with Hadith to help sustain its guidance among individuals and communities.
