All Muslim scholars denied the fact that Muslims can follow Quran only and reject Hadith.<\/strong> We can find evidence for this in the Qur\u2019an itself and the Sunnah. Scholars stated that Quran is not sufficient to be followed without Hadith or Sunna as a source of religious laws and a Muslim should follow both Quran and Sunnah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, You can discover the reasons why you should not reject Hadith or Sunna or any other source of information in our religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Quranist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Muslim follows the rules of the Quran only in religious matters and does not consider the teachings of the prophet as abiding. Quranists differ in the following parts of Sunnah some rejects Sunna as a whole while other accept some of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real appearance of Quranists was in the nineteenth century in India. It spread recently through social media websites like Reddit and Quora where non-Muslims attack Hadiths of the prophet PBUH which led some Muslims who do not have sufficient knowledge of Islam to deny these Hadiths and sometimes Sunnah as a whole. That is why there are no famous Quranist websites or famous Quranist scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view of the Quranists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The orientalists\u2019 suspicions did not stop at the claim that the Prophet\u2019s Sunnah, or the greater part of it, was a result of the religious, political, and social development of Islam in the first two centuries, which means in their spiteful view that Islam was not completed in its current form in the life of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, and therefore it is possible to dispense with The Prophet\u2019s Sunnah, and being abided by what came in the Holy Qur\u2019an, which is what some Muslims who are affected by the claims of others repeat, without awareness of the realities and Sharia of Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it permissible to reject Hadith or Sunnah?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is not permissible in any way to dispense with the Sunnah<\/strong> of the Prophet for it is the second source of Sharia. Qurasists change the clear narrative of the Quran in order to prove that the Holy Quran is sufficient. Their argument can be easily refuted by the Quran itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Muslims should follow Sunna or Hadith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quran is the book of Allah and his message to people. And the Hadith of the prophet came to explain and detail what is in the Quran. Ask yourself a question, How to pray Salah, pay Zakah, and perform Hajj? The holy Quran mentioned the Sharia rulings briefly, but the prophet clarified everything about it. Like, Salah, Allah commanded all Muslims to perform Salah in Quran but without mentioning how to do it. And the prophet clarified the way of performing Salah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is clear in Quran in many Ayat that we must follow and take what the prophet came with and said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qurasists change the clear narrative of the Quran in order to prove that the Holy Quran is sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refuting the Quranist\u2019s argument<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Allah commands Muslims in Quran to follow Sunna and Hadith<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Allah ordered Muslims in Quran to follow what the prophet said. Here is some Quran Ayat that proves this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
