Sunnah is the way of life prescribed as normative for Muslims on the basis of the teachings and practices of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and interpretations of the Quran.
Hadith (Arabic: حديث, /ˈhædɪθ/ or /hɑːˈdiːθ/) in religious use is often translated as 'tradition', meaning a report of the teachings, deeds and sayings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
Ulama (Arabic: علماء ʿUlamāʾ, singular عالِم ʿĀlim, "scholar"), also spelled ulema and "uluma", refers to the educated class of Muslimlegal scholars who are polymaths engaged in several fields of Islamic studies. They are well versed in fiqh (jurisprudence) and are considered the arbiters of sharia law, being Islamic lawyers and are considered the foundation of the law. A female Islamic scholar is known as an alimah.
