What do Quranists believe about the Quran?
Quranists believe that God’s message in the Quran is clear and complete as it is and that it can be fully understood without referencing outside sources. To support their beliefs, they cite Quranic verses like 6:38, 12:111, 16:89, 7:185, 77:50, 68:37, 45:6 and 6:114: Which Hadith, other than this, do they uphold?
Why do the hadiths preserve the meaning of the Qur’an?
The hadiths, the mainstream Muslims say, preserve the meaning of the Qur’an. This is why Allah tells us in the Qur’an [meaning of which is]: And We revealed to you [O Muhammad] the message [Qur’an] that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them and that they might give thought.
Can We follow the Qur’an but not the Sunnah?
If anyone claims that he is following what is in the Qur’an, but at the same time he is not following the Sunnah, then he is contradicting himself, because the Qur’an enjoins us to follow the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and not to go against him.
Do we pray to Muhammad and Abraham in the Quran?
The blessings for Muhammad and Abraham, which are part of the traditional ritual, are not practiced by most Quranists in the call to prayer and in the prayer itself, arguing that the Quran mentions prayers are only for God, and the Quran tells believers to make no distinction between any messenger.
Does the Quran criticize the hadith?
Quranists claim that the vast majority of hadith literature are forged lies and believe that the Quran itself criticizes the hadith both in the technical sense and the general sense.
In matters of faith, jurisprudence, and legislation, Quranists consider scholarly opinions, the opinions of the sahaba, ijma and qiyas Islam’s legislative authority in matters of law and creed in addition to the Quran.
Is the Quran the only source of Islamic law?
Quranists believe that the Quran is the sole source of religious law and guidance in Islam and reject the authority of sources outside of the Quran like Hadith and Sunnah.
