My understanding is that the Qur’an is main piece of work to make up Islamic scripture. It can be found online, such as…
usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/
muttaqun.com/quran/

There are also four (4) pieces of work that are valuable to Islamic scripture. They are:

  1. *]Ibn Ishaq’s Sira (a biographical account of Muhammad)
    *]Tabari’s Ta’rikh (a history of Muhammad and the formation of Islam)
    *]Hadith of Bukhari (a collection of Muhammad’s words and deeds)
    *]Hadith of Muslim (another collection of words and deeds)

    Does anybody know if I can find these online?
 

Ibn Ishaq’s Sira (a biographical account of Muhammad)​

I googled and found this for this one…

[here](# Ibn Ishaq’s Sira (a biographical account of Muhammad))

Hi

Sorry, I did not read this thread earlier. Islamic Scripture is only Quran, others only support it nevertheless they cannot replace any verse of Quran.

May be following links are also useful for understanding peaceful Islam.

Thanks, Paar!! Leave it to you to point us in the right direction! Do you have any reputable links about Muhammed? You know, like a “biography” of sorts. Historical references.

Thanks!
Asalam Alaykoum!

  1. Muslim and Bukhari are right there at usc under Hadith Search.

Hi

Wa Ulaikumus Salam

I would suggest you reading “INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE HOLY QURAN”, this **includes “biography” of Muhammad **written by BY MIRZA MAHMUD AHMAD, Son of the PromisedMessiah 1835-1908 by accessing

alislam.org/library/books/Introduction-Study-Holy-Quran.pdf

Thanks
 
The canonical texts of Islamic scripture are the Qur’an and the Al-Sihah al-Sittah (six canonical Hadith collections).

Ibn Ishaq’s Sira and Tarikh Al-Tabari are not Islamic scripture, but secular works. I don’t think they can be found online anywhere, (for one thing Al-Tabari’s work is over 10,000 pages long and Ibn Ishaq’s work has been lost since the Mongols sacked Baghdad). They’re not the most authentic of sources, so I’d advise you to take anything you find quoted from them with a grain of salt.

Al-Sihah al-Sittah consists of Sahih Bukhari (online HERE), Sahih Muslim (online HERE), Sunan An-Nasa’i, Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan Al-Tirmidhi, and Sunan Ibn Majah. The two most famous and authentic Hadith collections which you’ll find quoted by Muslims most often are Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, ‘Sahih’ here means sound or authentic, and Bukhari and Muslim are the names of the scholars who compiled them. The ‘Sunan’ collections are those which focus solely on documenting the Sunnah in a coherant fashion, whereas the Sahih collections record every Hadith deemed to be authentic beyond any doubt regardless of its subject. These four Sunan collections are listed as canonical because they’re by far the best works of their kind, however there are some Hadith in them which later scholars have deemed to be incorrect, so that’s why they’re not on the same level as the Sahih collections.

Also there are other Hadith collections not considered canonical, but still reputable, it’s important to remember that just because a Hadith collection isn’t canonical, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any authentic Hadith in it. The Imams of the four madhabs, or schools of thought, for example all collected Hadith, so we have Al-Musnad by Imam Hanbali and Al-Muwatta by Imam Malik. You’ll see that Malik’s Muwatta is included in the USC/MSA website’s Hadith database, that is because although it is not canonical and Imam Malik was not a scholar of Hadith, but a scholar of Fiqh (jurisprudence), his collection is still as well put together as the canonical ones.

There are other minor collections too, but these are easily enough anyone would need to know about except those looking for a scholarship in the subject.

Hi

I don’t agree with you.
Only Quran is canonical and the primary source of guidance of Islam, others are simply supportive if they are not against Quran.

The primary and foremost source of Islam is Quran.
The next is Sunnah, consisting of actions performed by TheProphet for which he was commanded by Allah that needed practical demonstration and were to be performed on regular intervals, daily, weakly, monthy, yearly basis and it was his responsibiltiy to set his followers on them; in a way they are also a part of Quran and Ummah is set on it till today.

Hadith is the third source of guidance of Muslim, it was not collected in the life time of Muhammad; it was collected after two/three hundred years after the death of Muhammad, and is only considered authentic if it is in accordance with Quran, otherwise not.

Thanks
 
With all due respect Paarsurrey, you’re not exactly a ‘mainstream’ Muslim. I’m answering on behalf of 90% of the Muslim world, answering for every divergent sect on the planet would be wholly unhelpful.

Besides, your answer is wrong and contradictory. If you’d like to insist upon it I’d first ask you to present an example where the Qur’an overrules the Sunnah in practice, then show me how the Sunnah overruling Hadith works (seeing how the Sunnah is documented in Hadith I don’t see how this is possible). Then open a book about the subject, and you’ll find Hadith weren’t collected only 200-300 years after the Prophet’s death (or just look at THIS page).
