Quranism

Quranism (Arabic: قرآنيون‎ Qurʾāniyūn) is a denomination of Islam that holds the Qur'an to be the only canonical text in Islam. Quranists reject the religious authority of Hadith, libraries compiled by later scholars who catalogued narratives of what the Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said and done. This is in contrast to mainstream Muslims who consider hadith essential for the Islamic faith. Quranism is similar to movements in other religions such as Karaite Judaism and the Sola scriptura.
