Question:
This questioner asks: How do we respond to those called the Quranists, who rely on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Hashr 59:5] [Al-An'am 6:38]?
Answer:
Yes, and Allah has not neglected anything in the Book. For this reason, He said:[Al-Hashr 59:7]. So He did not neglect the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, He commanded adherence to it. He said: "And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, refrain from it." He said: [Al-Ahzab 33:21], and He said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:92]. He commanded obedience to the Messenger alone: [An-Nisa 4:80], [An-Nur 24:56]. This is in the Qur'an. This is acting upon the Qur'an. The one who does not act upon the Sunnah has not acted upon the Qur'an, because the Qur'an commands him to act upon the Sunnah. So if he disobeys and says, "No, we do not accept the Sunnah," it means he has not acted upon the Qur'an, even if he claims that he acts upon the Qur'an. This is on the assumption that the Book referred to is the Qur'an. [Al-An'am 6:38] The Book referred to here is the Qur'an. However, some scholars hold that this refers to the Preserved Tablet; the Book means the Preserved Tablet, [Al-An'am 6:38], meaning the Tablet of Decree in which Allah wrote the destinies, fifty thousand years before the creation of the heavens and the earth, and His Throne was over the water. Yes.
