Focus on Quran as the only source of divine truth

r/Qurancentric

Qurancentric is a term used to describe Islam based solely on the divine authority of the Quran. Hadith and secondary sources are rejected as religious authority and only used to provide linguistic, syntactic, or historical insight into the contemporaneous lexicon of the time at which the Quran was revealed. Reassessing and approaching the Quran, asking questions, and being curious are all encouraged.

Tenets:

We accept the Quran as the direct word of God, and that it is perfect, flawless, and divinely protected.
We use the Quran as a reminder, a criterion, and a source of hiqma/wisdom, as Allah instructs us.
We believe the Quran is sufficient as a source of divine law, and do not use any other texts or secondary sources as a criteria for right and wrong.
To the extent we use hadiths/older scriptures, we may use them to enhance our understanding of Quran in the greater narrative context of religious development, lexicography, and history, but not as sources of divine writ/law directly.
We promote unity, empathy, mutual respect, and compassion to all, as we strive to emulate Allah's divine characteristics as His caretakers/khalifas on earth. However, we do not compromise on what Allah has commanded us, and understand that being a good Muslim is a combination of both loving tenderness and stern rigor.
