    The six most authentic books of hadith in Islam are called “Sahih Sitta”. These books are:

    * Sahih Bukhari
    * Sahih Muslim
    * Sunan Abu Dawood
    * Sunan al-Tirmidhi
    * Sunan an-Nasa’i
    * Sunan Ibn Majah

    Sahih Sitta are considered authentic because the authors of these books collected hadiths with great care and set strict standards for their authenticity. Each of the authors of these books spent many years compiling their book and they are considered reliable by all scholars.

    In addition to Sahih Sitta, there are many other hadith books in Islam, some of which are also considered reliable. Some of these books are:

    * Muwatta’ of Imam Malik
    * Musnad of Ahmad ibn Hanbal
    * Sunan al-Darimi
    * Sunan Ibn Abi Aasim
    * Musnad Abu Ya’la al-Mawsili

    The hadiths collected in Sahih Sitta and these other books are seen as the Sunna of the Prophet in Islam. The Sunna of the Prophet is the commandments, teachings, and sayings that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) expressed through his actions and words. The Sunna is considered the second-largest source of Islam after the Qur’an.

    Specifically, Sahih Bukhari is considered the most authentic hadith book in Islam. It is a collection of over 7,000 hadiths that were collected by Imam Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari (810-870 CE). Sahih Bukhari is divided into 97 books and 3450 chapters.

    Sahih Muslim is the second most authentic hadith book in Islam. It is a collection of over 3,000 hadiths that were collected by Imam Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj al-Nishapuri (817-875 CE). Sahih Muslim is divided into 260 books and 1300 chapters.

    The other four books of Sahih Sitta are also considered authentic, but they are not considered to be as authentic as Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.

  2. Yes, Zina is considered a major sin in Islam. It is defined as any sexual activity outside of marriage.

    Yes, Zina is considered a major sin in Islam. It is defined as any sexual activity outside of marriage. This includes fornication (sexual relations between two unmarried people) and adultery (sexual relations between a married person and someone other than their spouse).
    The Quran and the Hadiths, the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, both explicitly condemn Zina. The Quran says:

    “And those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women – bring against them four witnesses from among you. And if they testify, then confine them to houses until death comes to them or Allah opens for them a way.” (Quran 24:4)

    The Hadiths say:

    “The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ‘The adulterer and the adulteress, lash each of them with one hundred lashes, and do not keep them apart in the same prison.'” (Sahih Muslim)

    The punishment for Zina is determined by the Islamic legal system, or Sharia law. In most cases, the punishment is 100 lashes for unmarried people and stoning to death for married people. However, there are some mitigating factors that can reduce or even eliminate the punishment, such as if the person was forced into Zina or if they repent sincerely.
    It is important to note that Zina is not just a legal matter in Islam. It is also considered a sin against God. The Prophet Muhammad said:

    “The one who commits Zina is not a believer.” (Sahih Bukhari)

    This means that anyone who commits Zina will be punished by God in the Hereafter, even if they escape punishment in this world.
    However, Islam also teaches that God is merciful and forgiving. If someone who has committed Zina repents sincerely, God will forgive them. The Prophet Muhammad said:

    “Whoever repents of a sin is like one who never committed it.” (Sahih Bukhari)

    So, even if someone has committed Zina, they can still be forgiven by God if they sincerely repent.
