The physical structure of an ordinary human in the world is almost the same. Similarly, the forces that are present in an ordinary human in terms of psychological forces are also found in other human beings. Therefore, every human being has forces like happiness, sadness, love, hatred, softness, hardness and the need to eat and drink and the inclination towards sexual desires. When an ordinary human seems to be the same in terms of physical structure and psychological attributes, then why do different cultures and civilizations exist in the world? What factors are at work behind these different cultures and civilizations? Are culture and civilization synonymous or contradictory, are human and Islamic culture one or different, what are their effects on human life? The above article presents an analytical and comparative review of human and Islamic culture and civilization.

2025-09-17T15:53:05+00:00

The science of Hadith is of fundamental importance in Islam, as it is a means of interpreting the Holy Quran and preserving the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). In the Quran, Allah Almighty has linked obedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with obedience to Himself, which makes the Shariah status of Hadith clear. Similarly, several Quranic verses have commanded following the commands and actions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) To verify the authenticity of Hadith, the science of Hadith has developed principles such as jarh and tadil, the study of isnads, and the analysis of the text of narrations, which made it possible to distinguish between authentic and unauthentic narrations of Hadith. Thus, the science of Hadith not only protects the religion but also ensures the correct understanding of Sharia
