However, with varying accounts often only committed to paper a century after the death of Muhammad, Islamic scholars, past and present, have been faced with complex questions of historical authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInformative and accessible, this wide-ranging introduction provides a detailed exploration of the collection and criticism of hadith and examines the controversy surrounding its role in modern Islam. Complete with a glossary, extensive bibliography, and helpful diagrams, \u003ci\u003eHadith\u003c\/i\u003e is perfectly suited to students, scholars, and the general reader interested in this critical element of Islam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eJonathan A.C.
