Question<\/h3>\n

In how many practices are a\u1e25\u0101d\u012bth and the non-Qur\u2019\u0101nic Taw\u0101tur<\/em> superior to the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n? How many of such practices exist according to the sectarians?<\/p>\n

Answer<\/h3>\n

In our opinion, no \u1e25ad\u012bth<\/em> or taw\u0101tur<\/em> is superior over the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n. There are no restrictions on the authority of the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n. Likewise, Sunnah is also the source of the religion because, like the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n it has acquired the consensus and taw\u0101tur<\/em>. There are no differences and conflicts between the Sunnah and the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n and both these are the source of the religion.<\/p>\n

\u1e24ad\u012bth<\/em> explicates some aspects of the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n and relates the actions of the Holy Prophet (sws). The Holy Prophet (sws) has amplified some of their juristic implications while answering some questions. Our juristic scholars consider the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n and the sayings of the Holy Prophet (sws) in the same manner. So they believe in their commonality (ta’m\u012bm)<\/em>. Some of the prophetic actions and the a\u1e25\u0101d\u012bth demonstrate some of their specialties (takhs\uf028\u012bs\u012b\u0101t)<\/em> that result in some juristic debates. In our opinion, the Holy Prophet (sws) has explicated some aspects from the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n and we do not need to say that \u1e25ad\u012bth<\/em> is superior to the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n.<\/p>\n

Translated by: Abid Mahmood Hashmi<\/em><\/p>\n

Our guide, Mr. Javed Ahmad Ghamidi has elaborated some examples of this origin in his book ‘M\u012bz\u0101n’<\/em>. The study of this book amplifies that those complications were present in the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n that the Holy Prophet (sws) had explained.<\/p>\n

You have adopted the term ‘firqah parast<\/em>‘ (sectarians) in your question. This term is totally inappropriate for the scholars of \u1e25ad\u012bth<\/em> principles. These people are the source of understanding and compilation of the complete religion. Their services for the religion must be appreciated. Difference with them should not smirch their respect. If they had not done all this, we would not be in a position to do more research in the religion. And if we were able to do something, it would be far less than theirs.<\/p>\n
