Al-Quran dan Sunah

Muslim berpegang teguh bahawa Islam datangnya daripada dua sumber iaitu : salah satunya ialah — Al-Quran — dan yang satu lagi ialah : Sunnah, atau mengambil contoh daripada kehidupan Nabi Muhammad.

Pandangan

Semua umat Islam percaya bahawa Al-Quran itu bersifat tidak mempunyai kesalahan tetapi mereka mempunyai berbeza-beza pendapat mengenai Sunnah melalui cara mentafsir dan memahami Al-Quran itu sendiri.

Al-Ghazali, Ahli Sufi yang terkenal serta berfahaman mazhab Sunni , compared this process to handling oysters - their outside surface is uninteresting, but if you open one, then you are immediately rewarded by the beautiful mother of pearl and the edible morsel for spiritual and physical gratification. If you continue opening oysters, you are more likely to find a pearl. If you continue collecting pearls, you are more likely to find a black pearl.

In other words, following the Qur'an and Sunnah is not a Sunni-specific doctrine; it is followed by both Shi'a and Sunnis

Pandangan Ahli Syiah

Shi'a divide the Sahaba into groups and only trust some those who did not oppose the Ahl al-Bayt. Shi'a are known to criticize Umar, the second Sunni Caliph, as having admitted that he does not view it necessary to follow Muhammads Sunnah, and cite the hadith of the pen and paper as evidence.

Pandangan Ahli Sunnah

Sunni view that all Sahaba are righteous and can be trusted in their transmission of the Sunnah.

Pandangan Ahli Al-Quran

Terdapat juga segolongan masyarakat minoriti yang menolak dan tidak mempercayai As-Sunnah sebagai salah satu unsur dalam Islam.
