Abstract
Abstract The phrase “Qurʾān alone” and the name “Quranists” (Quraniyyūn) are applied to a variety of groups and individuals across social media, along with newer terms such as “Qurʾān-centric.” As the terms “Qurʾān alone” and “Qurʾān-centric” and the name “Quranists” imply, these increasingly vocal groups and individuals oppose the use of ḥadīth—the stories relating the words and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad that most Muslims recognize as a source of religious guidance and law—and insist that the Qurʾān alone should be the sole source of religious law and guidance in Islam. This article examines the contemporary Qurʾān alone and Qurʾān-centric movements and their most influential thinkers, such as Rashad Khalifa, Kassim Ahmad, Edip Yuksel, and Ahmad Subhy Mansour, as well as the key issues on which these groups agree and disagree with each other and with mainstream Muslims on issues of religious doctrine and law, and the religious duties of prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage.
