    Hadith:

    In Islam refers to what Muslims believe to be a record of the words, actions, and the silent
    approval of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Hadith have been called "the backbone" of Islamic
    civilization and within that religion the authority of hadith as a source for religious law and
    moral guidance ranks second only to that of the Quran (which Muslims hold to be the word of
    God revealed to his messenger Muhammad). Scriptural authority for hadith comes from the
    Quran which enjoins Muslims to emulate Muhammad and obey his judgments.
