Why do we have to follow the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad and not just follow the Qur'an?

The question may appear strange and somewhat surprising to committed, practising Muslims. How can something which is so obviously one of the bases of Islaam become a matter for discussion and debate? But since the question has been asked, we will present, with the help of Allah, the principles and bases of the importance of the Sunnah, the obligation to follow it and the ruling concerning those who reject it. By so doing, we will also refute the doubters and the misguided group who call themselves "Submitters" (the Qur'an has nothing to do with them!) Insha'Allah this discussion will be of benefit to everyone who wants to understand the truth of the matter. Proof of the importance of the Sunnah from the Qur'an itself: 1. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah..." [4:80] Allah described obedience to the Prophet (peace be upon him) as being a part of obedience to Him. Then He made a connection between obedience to Him and obedience to the Prophet (peace be upon him): "O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger..." [4:59] 2. Allah warns us not to go against the Prophet (peace be upon him), and states that whoever disobeys him will be doomed to eternal Hell. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "...And let those who oppose the Messenger's commandment beware, lest some fitnah (trial, affliction, etc.) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them." [24:63] 3. Allah has made obedience to His Prophet a religious duty; resisting or opposing it is a sign of hypocrisy: "But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you [Muhammad] judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission." [4:65] 4. Allah commands His slaves to respond to Him and His Messenger: "O you who believe! Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life..." [8:24] 5. Allah also commands His slaves to refer all disputes to him: "... (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger..." [4:59] 6. Allah also calls all people who accept Allah but refute the Messenger as 'Real Kafirs': "Verily, those who deny Allâh and His Messengers and (those who) wish to separate Allah from His Messengers (by believing in Allâh and disbelieving in His Messengers), saying: "We believe in some but reject others": and (those who) wish to adopt a way in between. They are in truth (equally) Unbelievers; and We have prepared for Unbelievers a humiliating Punishment. To those who believe in Allah and His Messengers and make no distinction between any of the Messengers, We shall soon give their (due) rewards: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful." [4:150-153] In a nutsell: Islam = Qur'an + Sunnah only. You will see that all groups who deviated from Islam are violating this rule. Shi'a replace the Sunnah with their Imams and some fabricated narrations. Extremist Sufis replace the Qur'an and the Sunnah with their Shaikhs (leaders). The Submitters reject the Sunnah from the equation and claim to follow the Qur'an only. All of those who reject the Sunnah are NOT Muslims.

  • وقال أبو سعيد الأشج كنت عند وكيع فجاءه رجل يدعوه إلى عرس فقال أثم نبيذ قال لا قال لا نحضر عرسا ليس فيه نبيذ قال فإني آتيكم به فقام.

  • @SuperMadKREW Yes following the messenger means following the message. And what was his message?

  • قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّه(Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you...'') meaning, what you will earn is much more than what you sought in loving Him, for Allah will love you. Al-Hasan Al-Basri and several scholars among the Salaf commented, "Some people claimed that they love Allah. So Allah tested them with this Ayah;

  • As Salaam u 'Alaikum

    Jazaak Allaahu Khair

  • I wish everyone who follow the hadith good luck with believing that Suleyman had sex with 100 women in 1 night, that it is ok to kill people when they turn away from Islam and don't forget, black seed cures EVERY DISEASE, (all from boukhari)

    Keep on being Retarted (Y)

  • If I desert the Quran that is ALONG with the SUnnah?? nice Job creating your own rules... the QURAN is the QURAN... the QURAN is not the QURAN AND SUNNAT MUHAMMAD...

  • You clearly skipped over the last verse I mentioned about Allah guiding only with the Quran, and whoever he leaves astray can have NO guide [39:23]

    And again... the only times Allah talks about the use of addition scriptures is when he FORBIDS them.

  • Its funny how you say that YOU know how to pray as a follower of Hadith when the HADITH doesnt even show a step by step process to salat.

    How do I perform Hajj? READ THE QURAN! IT CAN SHOW YOU..

    And I am guessing you are still going to follow scriptures ALONGSIDE the Quran which was authorized by human beings, but never ONCE by Allah, right?
