there are some Muslims who argue we should follow only the Quran and others say you have to follow the Sunnah and Hadith too.

 

Which one is correct? OR, does both sides have some right and wrong to them?

Assalaamualaikum

Allah has asked us in the Quran to obey Him AND His Messenger ie Prophet Muhammad (saw). This command has appeared in many places in the Quran. (I will post as many as I can, soon.)

Each and everything is not written in the Quran for example how to pray, we have to refer to the hadith and sunnah of the Prophet(saw) for guidance. THe Prophet(saw) was always surrounded by companions who noted what he said (hadith) and also what he did (sunnah). These were recorded. Most of them accurately. There are few inaccurate hadith which scholars over the centuries have taken pains to differentiate. It is common sense that any hadith that goes against the quran is invalid.

If we do not follow any hadith at all then we are not following the Prophet(saw) and going against the command of Allah in the Quran. How can we obey the Prophet if we disregard hadith and sunnah? Why did Allah send the Prophet? He could have just sent the quran? He sent the Prophet as a living example of how to be a Muslim. His wife Aisha (ra) was asked about the Prophet's character and she replied his character was the Quran.

After the Quran, we have to look in the hadith for guidance.

Insha Allah I will post some verses that tell us to obey the Prophet(saw) and then you can decide for yourself.

Allah knows best.

Wassalaam.

Allah is Sufficient as a Walee (Protector) and Allah is Sufficient as a Naseer (Helper).

Assalaamualaikum,


Say: "obey Allah and obey the Messenger, but if you turn away, he (Messenger Muhammad SAW) is only responsible for the duty placed on him (i.e. to convey Allahs Message) and you for that placed on you. If you obey him, you shall be on the right guidance. The Messengers duty is only to convey (the message) in a clear way (i.e. to preach in a plain way)."  
(  سورة النور  , An-Noor, Chapter #24, Verse #54)

O you who believe! obey Allah and His Messenger, and turn not away from him (i.e. Messenger Muhammad SAW) while you are hearing.  
(  سورة الأنفال  , Al-Anfal, Chapter #8, Verse #20)

And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).  
(  سورة الأنفال  , Al-Anfal, Chapter #8, Verse #46)

And obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) that you may obtain mercy.  
(  سورة آل عمران  , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #132)

O you who believe! obey Allah, and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) and render not vain your deeds.  
(  سورة محمد  , Muhammad, Chapter #47, Verse #33)

O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (  سورة النس&# 1575;ء  , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #59)

And obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), (  سورة المائدة  , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #92)

So fear Allah and adjust all matters of difference among you, and obey Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), if you are believers.  
(  سورة الأنفال  , Al-Anfal, Chapter #8, Verse #1)

�and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.  
(  سورة التوبة  , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #71)


Remember, it is important where you get your study material from, there are many books which contain fabricated hadith and information. Always check with knowledgable people.  May Allah guide us all to the right path.

Wassalaam.

Allah is Sufficient as a Walee (Protector) and Allah is Sufficient as a Naseer (Helper).
(Surah An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #45)
