3 - Ali 'Imran (Part 1) - In Arabic, Your Heart Means "The Thing That Flips" 💔 #shorts

Salam Alaikum, Brother/Sister;

I respect your concern for holding firmly to the Quran, and I agree that the Quran is Allah SWT’s final, preserved revelation and the highest authority in our religion. But I don’t think following the authentic Sunnah means placing anything above the Quran. The Quran repeatedly tells us to obey Allah and obey the Messenger ﷺ—for example, “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger” (Quran 4:59), and “Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah” (Quran 4:80).

The Prophet ﷺ did not simply deliver the Quran and disappear; Allah sent him to teach, explain, demonstrate, and guide. The Quran commands prayer, zakat, Hajj, and many other duties, while the Sunnah teaches us how the Prophet ﷺ practiced them. So accepting rigorously authenticated hadith is not a rejection of the Quran—it is one way of following the Quran’s own command to follow the Messenger.

Of course, not every narration is accepted blindly. Scholars carefully examine chains of transmission, consistency with the Quran, and historical context. Weak or contradictory reports should not be used to override clear Quranic teachings. But rejecting all hadith would also mean rejecting the Quran’s instruction to obey the Messenger ﷺ.
May Allah guide all of us to what is most pleasing to Him, and give us humility, sincerity, and wisdom in discussing His religion. 🙏❤️
