Is Academic Scholarship on Hadith Legitimate | Dr. Shabir Ally

In this video, learn about academic scholarship on #hadith. Dr. Shabir Ally offers backgrounders on major Western scholars on hadith, including Ignac Goldziher, Joseph Schacht, G. H. A. Juynboll, Andreas Gorke, Harald Motski and Gregor Schoeler. He explains why their results were damaging to popular Muslim perceptions of hadiths: Muslims had been accustomed to treating hadiths as if they were sacrosanct, like the #Quran, so it alerted them to the idea that perhaps some hadiths were not from the Prophet (peace be upon him). He explains what role #Muslims scholars have played in getting rid of fabricated hadiths, including Mohammad Hashim Kamali and Dr. Yuquf al-Qaradawi. He expresses optimism that scholars today can compile new collections of hadiths that we can feel confident about and that will guide us in our daily lives.
