Quick Answer: Hadith courses online teach the authentic sayings, actions and approvals of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ through structured study with a qualified Islamic scholar. Most students gain a strong foundation in core Hadith collections within 6 to 12 months of consistent one-on-one online study.
What is Hadith?
Hadith refers to the recorded sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — preserved through a verified chain of narration (Sanad) from companion to companion across generations. Hadith forms the second most important source of Islamic guidance after the Quran itself.
Allah says in the Quran:
“And whatever the Messenger has given you, take it; and what he has forbidden you, refrain from it.” — Surah Al-Hashr (59:7)
This verse establishes the binding authority of the Prophet’s ﷺ teachings — making Hadith study essential for every Muslim seeking to understand how to practice Islam correctly in daily life.

Sunan Abu Dawood:
A comprehensive collection focused heavily on Hadith related to Islamic jurisprudence and daily practice.

Notable for including the scholarly grading of each Hadith’s authenticity alongside the text.

Common Questions About Hadith Courses Online
Do I need to know Arabic to study Hadith?
No — our Hadith course is taught in English and accessible to students with no Arabic knowledge. Learning basic Arabic vocabulary enhances understanding, and we recommend our Arabic Language Course alongside Hadith study.
How do scholars verify if a Hadith is authentic?
Islamic scholars verify Hadith through a rigorous science called Uloom al-Hadith — examining the chain of narrators (Sanad) for reliability, checking the text (Matn) for consistency with Quran and other authentic Hadith, and categorizing each Hadith as Sahih (authentic), Hasan (good) or Daeef (weak).
What is the difference between Hadith and Sunnah?
Hadith refers to the recorded sayings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Sunnah is broader — encompassing his sayings, actions, and the example he set as practiced and verified by his companions. Hadith is the primary source through which we know the Sunnah.
Can I study Hadith without completing Quran courses first?
We recommend basic Quran reading ability before starting Hadith study, as many Hadith directly relate to and explain Quranic verses. Our Quran Reading with Tajweed course can be taken alongside Hadith study.
Which Hadith collection should beginners start with?
We recommend beginners start with a collection of 40 essential Hadith (such as Imam An-Nawawi’s famous compilation) before progressing to the major collections like Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
Can children study Hadith courses online?
Yes — we recommend Hadith study for children aged 8 and above, starting with simple, character-focused Hadith before progressing to more detailed jurisprudential Hadith as they grow older.
Is there a certificate upon completion?
Yes — SCIL provides a Hadith completion certificate for students who complete each level of the curriculum and pass the assessment.
How many classes per week do I need for Hadith study?
We recommend 2 to 3 classes per week for steady progress. Each class is 45 to 60 minutes, allowing time for proper explanation and discussion of each Hadith’s meaning and application.
