القرآنيون
A modern movement rejecting the authority of the Hadith and Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, claiming the Quran alone is sufficient. Known by various names including Ahl al-Quran, Quraniyoon, and Submitters. Despite modern framing, this is a revival of the classical heresy of rejecting the Sunnah, which was addressed by Imam al-Shafi'i in his al-Risalah (c. 820 CE). Emerged in South Asian reformist movements in the late 19th century and has spread through the internet in the 20th–21st centuries.
Condemned unanimously by Ahl us-Sunnah. Allah commands obedience to the Messenger ﷺ alongside obedience to Himself in more than 30 Quranic verses (e.g., al-Nisa 4:59, al-Hashr 59:7). The Hadith are the primary explanation of the Quran. Rejection of the Sunnah destroys the foundations of Islamic practice — prayer timings, rak'ahs, zakat thresholds, and hajj rites are not detailed in the Quran but in the Sunnah. Imam al-Shafi'i's al-Risalah explicitly refutes this position in the 9th century.
