ABSTRACT

This thesis studies one of the most important criteria used in hadith texts' criticism، which is compliance of hadiths with the holy Qur'an. It was demonstrated that the "authentic hadiths" of different Islamic schools are still in need to be complied with the holy Qur'an as what has been done so far in this regard، although interesting، is only partial. The correct application of the "compliance criterion” aims at purifying the Islamic thought from its centuries-old stains.

The study highlights the scientific method that should be employed in the application of the "compliance criterion". It consists of three basic steps: 1) The objective study of the Qur'anic verses related to the theme in question; 2) The objective study of the authentic hadiths related to the same topic; and 3) The compliance of the hadiths with the Qur'anic verses. The results were to be put in three sets: 1) Some hadiths comply successfully with the holy Qur'an، so they are to be accepted; 2) A number of hadiths، however، contradict the holy Qur'an، which are to be refused; and 3) Other hadiths show independence from the holy Qur'an، thus they are to be put aside، especially when it comes to theology matters.

This approach has been applied throughout this thesis to one of the issues of faith ('akida)، which is the prerequisites for getting Paradise access. It was concluded that Paradise access is only a result of full commitment to religion، including solid faith، good deeds، pure worship، endurance on God's path، recurring repentance from sins، scarifying one's thought and wealth for God's sake … All this to exclude getting paradise access only by an empty verbal declaration or by partial commitment to God.
