Shia and The Quran 1 - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief Shia and The Quran 1 2022-12-18 783 Views Shia , The Holy Quran , Shia and Qur'an It has become clear from what has been said thus far that the Holy Quran, which is the principal source of religious thought in Islam, has given full authority to the external meanings of its words for those who give ear to its message.

The same external meaning of the Quranic verses has made the sayings of the Prophet complementary to the words of the Quran and has declared them to be authoritative like the Quran. For as the Quran says: Contents Traditions of the The Qur’an and Tradition “And We have revealed unto thee the Remembrance that thou mayst explain to mankind that which hath been revealed for them” .

(1) And, “It is He who hath sent among the unlettered ones a messenger of their own, to recite unto them His revelations and to make them grow, and to teach them the scripture and Wisdom” (2). And, ” And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain) from it”. (3) And,” Verily in the Messenger of Allah, ye have a good example” (4).

It is quite evident that such verses would not have any real meaning if the words and deeds of the Prophet and even his silence and approval were not authority for us just as the Quran itself is. Thus, the words of the Prophet are authoritative and must be accepted by those who have heard them orally or received them through reliable transmission.

Moreover, through such a completely authentic chain of transmission, it is known that the Holy Prophet said,” I leave two things of value amidst you in trust which if you hold on to you will never go astray: the Quran and the members of my household.

These will never be separated until the Day of Judgment.” According to this and other definitely established hadiths, the words of the purified members of the Household of the Prophet form a corpus that is complementary to the Prophetic religious sciences and is inerrant in the explanation of the teachings and injunctions of Islam. Their sayings received orally or through reliable transmission are reliable and authoritative.

Therefore, it is clear that the traditional source from which the formal and external aspect of religion is derived, which is an authoritative document and which is also the basic source for the religious thought of Islam, consists of two parts: The Book (the Quran) and the Sunnah.
