The Role of Hadith Science in Preserving the Authenticity of the Prophet’s Sunnah and Responding to Quraniyyun Claims on Quora

Abstrak

The Al-Qur'an and the hadith of the Prophet are two main pillars of Islamic teachings that complement each other: the Al-Qur'an provides basic principles, while the hadith explains and applies them in real life. Since the early days of Islam, qira'ah scholars and hadith experts have maintained their authenticity with strict scientific discipline. However, in the modern era a group known as the Quraniyyun or Inkar Sunnah people has reappeared, they reject the authority of hadith and argue that the Koran alone is sufficient as a source of law. This article discusses the Quraniyyun movement as it often appears on online platforms such as Quora, by exploring their arguments and weighing them using the rijal science approach (the science of hadith narrators). Through a literature review of books, journals and digital discourse, this research shows that rijal science is not just a traditional legacy, but rather a strong historical verification system. In this way, the authenticity and authenticity of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ remains firmly established amidst modern discourse which often separates reason from tradition.
