In this article we give a brief biography of the famous hadith rejector, Ghulam Ahmed Parwez.
The hadith rejectors find themselves in a quandary when asked about the various details of the prayer, as the details of the prayer and other acts of worship are contained within the hadith. So to get around this they come up with a bizarre answer.
Until very recently, the concept of the sunna, and its legal authority was never questioned. However, the twentieth century witnessed a number of individuals and groups, who under the guise of ‘returning to the Qur’an’ have rejected in totality, the legal authority of the sunna. This study critically analyses the works of three well known hadith rejectors: Ghulam Ahmad Parwez, Rashad Khalifa, and Kassim Ahmad.
In this article we study the topic of Hadeeth and Sunnah, giving various scholarly definitions of both terms.
In part 1 we discussed the importance of the topic. In this part we discuss the authority of the Sunnah
In part 2, we looked at the authority of the Sunnah from as stated in various verses of the Quran. We now look at some further proofs, starting with the hadeeth.
In part three we demonstrated the authority of the Sunnah from the hadeeth. In part four we explain the various roles of the Sunnah in Islam. Without the Sunnah it is impossible to understand the Qur’an.
The earliest known hadith fabricator was a Shi’i leader called Mukhtaar ath-Thaqafi. He asked the Companion Rabi al Khuzai to fabricate a hadith for 700 deenar.
The Quraniyun argue that hadīth were written so long after the events that it is impossible to vouch for their authenticity.
