State three similarities and three differences between Sunnah and Hadith.

Observation

This question which precisely required six points of three similarities and three differences between Sunnah and Hadith was also answered by most candidates.  Ironically, it was observed that candidates could not clearly point out the similarities and the differences between these two terms used in Hadith study.  Plausible differences expected of the candidates include Hadith is the saying of the Prophet (S.A.W.) while Sunnah is his actions and silent approvals; Hadith is the theory while Sunnah is the practical aspect of Islam. On similarities, Sunnah and Hadith are sources of Shari‘ah; they are interchangeably used and form the basis of Islamic history are relevant points required of the candidates.  In all, candidates’ performance was fair.
