What is a Quranist?....................................................?

Quranists are a group of muslims that acknowledge quran to be the word of god and ultimate truth, yet they question every hadith they encounter, even the ones the are sahih with the agreement of all scholars.

they see Muhamad SAAW strictly as a "delivery man" to the message (a'uzu billah) and not as a mercy to man kind and a guide to how to practice islam.

they are missing more than half of the religion.

Bismillah

I agree with "Solace" and "Ibrahim"

@ Asker: curlly bella thinks that she follows Quran, but she wont, these Quranist are far away from faith and belief as per Quran. Their faith and belief differs from Quran.

You may mail me if you have more question, stay away from these Quranist, they are a deviated group, they prefer their whims & wishes over Quran. :)

@I agree w/ the brothers Solance,Ibrahim & '-------- "

These reckoned people can't even answer a question about them without feeling the need to delete it. I would like to add that they twist the belief system of Islam. We SHOULD follow the great example lead by the messenger, also know as the teachings of the sunnah. As a matter fact ' bella ' , I would like to know how you people pray , since you need the ahadith to do this important procedure. This question is legit, and I'm actually interested in finding answers . I was told that they pray as they desire & they don't even wash their feet. Why don't they pray like the prophet salallaahu aliahi wa salam? I find it ridiculous that they find a couple of words from the Qu'ran such as sujood, ruku, etc & they somehow ' put ' it together to form a saalat? Is that even a proper well thought prayer?

[29:45] You shall recite what is revealed to you of the scripture, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), for the Contact Prayers prohibit evil and vice. But the remembrance of GOD (through Salat) is the most important objective. GOD knows everything you do.

[ Indeed in the Messenger of Allaah there is an excellent example for you for those who desire Allaah and the Last Day and Remember Allaah much ]

A Muslim follows the Glorious Quran the way how messenger of Allah (pbuh) have followed. That means how Prophet(s.a.w) explained and his companions followed the book of Allah. How do we know how beloved Prophet (s.a.w) lived and lives of his companions?, it's from the books of Hadith well recorded. Holy Quran tells us to pray. How do we look for the ways of prayer, it is unto the life of Prophet (s.a.w). So this is the way of the Muslims. They are the people of Quran. Those who have received it's true guidance.

Recently there has come some false prophets like Rashad Khalifa who started following Quran the way they understand. They have their own ways with outing looking into the life of Messenger of Allah nor the companions. So they have a unique translation. They themselves refer as Quranists while they are not. They accuse Hadith and narrators of hadith in order for their survival. They are basically followers of this false prophet Rashad Khalifa who was assassinated somewhere in the streets of Labnon. Hope it's clear.

Hence a Muslim basically follows Quran as his guide and is our Imaam. But the question is do you want to follow Quran the way Prophet (s.a.w) and his companions followed or the way Rashad Khalifa a physics teacher understood. Of course the best of guidance is the guidance of our beloved prophet Muhammad(s.a.w), rest all are deviations from truth. There is least doubt in this and Alhamdulillah Muslims know the truth from false. The tricks of Rashad Khalifa don't work well most parts of the world. Except those who want to live upon their desires and suit Quran accordingly and leave the guidance of Rasulullah (s.a.w) and his companions.

A person who rejects the sahih hadiths and refuses to follow them.

People who reject Hadith, saying they are unreliable and untrustworthy; Instead they follow the Quran which to them is the only reliable religious text.

The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “I have left two things behind me for you (the Ummah). You will never go astray as long as you follow these two things. One of these two things is Allah’s Holy Book (the Qur’an al-Kareem) and the other is the Sunnah of his Most Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam).” (Muwatta Imam Malik)

There is no such as Quranist. Thats it.

They're muslim, but some ppl take offence to those who only follow Quran. so the call them Quranists because they reject hadiths.

Im muslim and I follow Quran only.

Someone who studies the Quran (Koran)?

Those who accept one part of quran and reject the rest. Also they reject Prophet Muhammad and HIS sunnah. (Astaghfirullah)

@ curlly bella, there are three versions of last sermon, and none of those contradict each other, a muslim must follow quran and sunnah, a muslim must love Prophet's (pbuh) family.
