رسالة التجديد The Renewal Message: Ahle Quran & Ahle Hadith Delusions

اہل قرآن اور اہل حدیث کے مغالطے.. [....]

Ahle Quran, Quranism (al-Qur'āniyya, also "Quranic scripturalism") comprises views that Islamic law and guidance should only be based on the Qur'an, thus opposing the religious authority, reliability, and /or authenticity of Hadith literature. Quranists believe that God's message in the Quran is clear and complete as it is, and that it can therefore be fully understood without referencing the Hadith.

In matters of faith, jurisprudence, and legislation, Quranists differ from ahl al-Hadith, which today part of the Sunnis, and to some limited extent, the Ibadis and Shias, and which first emerged during the 2nd/3rd Islamic centuries of the Islamic era (late 8th and 9th century CE) as a movement of Hadith scholars who considered the Quran and Hadith to be the only legislative authority in matters of law and creed. It is a minority viewpoint in Islam. Quranism is similar to movements in Abrahamic religions such as the Karaite movement in Judaism and the Sola scriptura view of Protestant Christianity.

Karaism, Karaitism or Qaraism, (from Hebrew qara, “to read”), a Jewish religious movement that repudiated oral tradition as a source of divine law and defended the Hebrew Bible as the sole authentic font of religious doctrine and practice. In dismissing the Talmud as man-made law substituted for the God-given Torah, Karaism set itself in direct opposition to Rabbinic Judaism.

Ahle Hadith is an other sect / group who place special emphasis on Hadith. According to the Ahlul-Hadeeth, Khabar Ahad is an argument in beliefs, rules and issues, while following (ie obeying) the Hadith is equal to following the verses of the Qur'an.

An Early Qur'anic Manuscript (1st century Hegira). from the word tijarat in verse 282 to the words nasiynā aw in verse 286 of Sūrah al-Baqarah. Script: Hijazi.

Generally the Ahle Quran and Hadith fail to distinguish between Sunnah and Hadith, they treat them as synonymous hence get into delusion.

Those who reject the Sunnah and claim to believe only in the Quran it is hard to understand their logic, since, as the Quran is proved by the verbal adherence of the Ummah, likewise the Sunnah is proved by the practical adherence of the Ummah. If these people reject the Sunnah, there is no justification to accept the Quran which commands the believers to obey the messenger and take him as a role model. There is hardly any difference in the credentials of either.

On the other hand, the "Ahlul-Hadeeth" ignore the fact that the Qur'an, the Messenger of God, the Rightly Guided Caliphs forbade the writing of hadiths. while Quran commanded obedience to the Prophet and his practices (uswa-e-hasnah/ sunnah) as role model, Quran;33:21)

Deniers and Rejectors of Quran:

Ahle Quran consider verses against Hadith (Quran;77:50, 7:185, 45;6, 52:34) but ignore verses supporting Sunnah (Quran;33:21, 8:20, Quran;4:14), while Ahle Hadith do the opposite, they ignore verses (Quran;77:50,7:185,45;6, 52:34) against Hadith and consider verses about Sunnah, making them synonymous for Hadith. Hence both groups fall into the grave error. Cherry picking verses to support a particular doctrine is against the spirit of honest scholarship, its recipe to disaster:

“Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle. And thus do We recompense the criminals.(40) They will have from Hell a bed and over them coverings [of fire]. And thus do We recompense the wrongdoers. (41) But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.” (Quran 7:42)
Those who deny the revelations, will suffer a dreadful doom.(Quran;45:11)
Woe unto every fabricating impostor, the one who hears GOD’s revelations but ignores arrogantly, Grievous punishment awaits (Quran;45:7-8)
Those who dispute Ayas have turned away from the right path (Quran;40:69)
Who disbelieved in Quran, are doomed (Quran;90:19)
And none but the Zalimun (polytheists, wrongdoers) deny Ayat (Quran;29:49)
And be not like those who said, We hear, and they did not obey (Quran;8:21)

By ignoring / rejecting some verses of Qur'an which are against their doctrine and by not following the Sunnah of the Prophet and the Righteous Caliph, such sects stand at the extreme limits. The only solution is to abandon the innovated doctrines and surrender to Allah by accepting the supremacy of the "Qur'an and Sunnah".

Establishing sects, is contrary to the Qur'an, and attributing names of sects to various books, cities, people, etc, instead of the God-given name "Muslim", and claiming that theirs is the Blessed is against the teaching sof Qur'an and the Prophet (pbuh).

All Muslim Sects claim to be on true path and hence blessed ones, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) described them in the following terms: “My ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of whom will be in Hell except one group.” They said: Who are they, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “(Those who follow) that which I and my companions follow.”

[This is mentioned in the Hadeeth of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr which was recorded and classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi (2641). It was also classed as hasan by al-‘Iraaqi in Ahkaam al-Qur’aan (3/432), al-‘Iraaqi in Takhreej al-Ihya’ (3/284) and al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.]

Now let's be reminded again that, Quran denies Hadith, Prophet (pbuh) banned Hadith writing, Caliph Abu Bakr destroyed his collection of 500 Hadiths, Umrer after detailed considerations decided not to compile Hadiths, Ali also supported him and other caliphs and companions adhered to this policy for over a century. This was due to the decision of Umer, also consented by other Rightly Guided Caliphs, also honoured and implemented by majority Companions till they passed away after the first century Hijra, when Hadith writing started. How can those violating this policy claim to be obedient to the Quran, Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh), Sunnah of Rightly Guided Caliphs and Companions?

It may be appropriate to leave the final judgement to Allah, who knows the matters of heart and shall judge fairly on the Day of Judgement. He does not share His Divinity with anyone:

“ ,.. So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ. (Quran 5:48)

Hadith and Sunnah are not Synonymous

It is rather important that the difference between Hadith and Sunnah, be kept in mind. When this difference was overlooked, the result was that the denial of some Hadiths was construed to mean the denial of the Sunnah. Thereafter, whatever doubts were invented against the Hadith by the non-believers of Hadith were extended by them to deny the Sunnah as well, though the denial of the Sunnah is tantamount to denial of the Quran itself.

Those who are familiar with the history of the denial of Hadith are fully aware that this mischief actually raised its head over a few Hadith of anomalous nature. However, later on this matter turned into a hot-bed of debates; in the heat of arguments people lost sight of the difference between Hadith and Sunnah. In such battles of wits, the attacking party failed to realize what they were attacking; nor did the defenders know what exactly they had to defend and wasted their energies on a different front. In their ignorance, either side ended up in a loss. The non-believers of Hadith stretched their doctrines so far as to touch the bounds of Kufr (disbelief), and the supporters of Hadith, on the other hand quite unnecessarily dragged the Sunnah as well along with the Hadith into the firing-range.
