Department of Hadith

The Department of Hadith aims to promote the academic study of Hadith and its Sciences. Although formally it was founded in the year 2020 when the Department of Islamic Studies was expanded into different departments, its courses remained the core parts of all the degree programs of the Faculty of Islamic Learning.

Hadith is a record of words, actions, and silent approval of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It constitutes the most important source of guidance for Muslims apart from the Holy Quran. Focusing mainly on the interdisciplinary approach, the department, at the undergraduate and graduate level, tries to train its students to check the source value and authenticity of Hadith and Sunnah. It offers a variety of courses on Quranic Studies, Sirah, Fiqh, Islamic History and Cultures, and Arabic language without which it is not possible to obtain a proper understanding of Hadith and its Sciences.
