SUNNET I BID'AT U KUR'ANU I HADISU
SUNNA AND IBADAT IN QUR’AN AND HADITH

Summary/Abstract: The precise establishment of Islamic terminology meaning is a question of exceptional importance for a right understanding of Islamic teachings. Sunnah and bidat are the two basic terms which are often used as arguments in accepting or rejecting certain phenomena. Their etymological meanings, semantic wideness and context of their use in the Qur’anic and hadith texts are the subject matter of this paper. Negative attribute must not be ascribed to any phenomenon only for being new and not known before. Accepting of such perception would inevitably lead to confirmation of static of sources of Islam, what is not only acceptable but necessary, but the problem appears when that very perception denies its dynamism which comes out from correct and right understanding of Qur’anic texts and hadiths as the sources of Islamic teaching. It is particularly essential to pay attention to hadith aspect which is used to comprehend the meaning of the quoted terms which comes out of contextual analysis of their usage.
