The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

But then again there comes a question. In the sacred books of the Muslims there are two kinds, one called the Qu'ran and the other called the Hadith. The Qu'ran is supposed to be the word of God, and the Hadith is supposed to be the word of the Prophet. And one might ask, "What is the reason of it?" The reason is one of consciousness. At one moment the consciousness of the Prophet has reached to such a height that the word that comes from the mouth of the Prophet cannot be the word of the Prophet, it can only be the word of God. But then there are other moments when the consciousness has come down, just as the thermometer goes up and down. That is the condition.
