Qur'aniyoon Muslims, Qur'an alone Muslims, Qur'anic Muslims or sometimes, anti-hadith Muslims are those Muslims who reject hadith, or recorded Islamic traditions, and follow the Qur'an, Islam's sacred text, without any further additions. However, some Muslims who follow the Quran alone say that they are simply "Muslims", and not "Qur'anites".
Qur'an Alone groups
The Ahle Qur'an
"Ahle Qur’an", a group formed by Abdullah Chakralawi, rely entirely on the chapter and verse of the Qur’an. Chakralawi's position was that the Qur’an itself was the most perfect source of tradition and could be exclusively followed. According to him, Muhammad could receive only one form of revelation (wahy), and that was the Qur'an. He argues that the Qur'an was the only record of divine wisdom, the only source of Muhammad's teachings, and that it superseded the entire corpus of hadith[1].
Bazm-e-Tolu-e-Islam
Main article: Tolu-e-Islam
(English: Resurgence of Islam) is a Pakistani based organization whose followers can be found throughout the world. The movements was initiated by Ghulam Ahmed Pervez, a Qur'anic scholar. Focusing on Qur'anic teachings, he was willing to re-interpret Qur'anic verses and place little or no emphasis on hadiths. Unlike some other groups, Tolu-e-Islam followers do not reject all hadiths, however, they only accept hadiths who "are in accordance with the Holy Quran" and "do not blemish the personality of [Muhammad] and/or his companions." The organization is loosely controlled. It publishes books, pamphlets, and recordings of Pervez's speeches.
United Submitters International
Main article: United Submitters International
The term is closely associated with the late Rashad Khalifa, a member of the United Submitters International. While the USI do not refer to themselves as "Muslim" or claim to be "Islamic," they follow the Quran alone. The group popularized the phrase: the Qur'an, the whole Qur'an, and nothing but the Qur'an. After Khalifa declared himself a messenger of God, he was rejected as an apostate of Islam. He was assassinated in 1990. Beside following the Qur'an only philosophy they also believe that there is a mathematical structure in the Qur'an based on the number 19.
Dissident Submitters
Edip Yuksel left the USI in the early 1990s and later presented a petition claiming that the Submitters had lost devotion to God, although he still believes that there is a mathematical structure of code 19 in the Qur'an.
Non-organised Qur'anic Muslims
Those are Muslims who believe that hadiths are irrelevant in approaching a study to, or interpretation of, the Quran, and most of whom do not believe in other new messengers. One such group of Muslims who have a web presence can be found at their Free Minds website. The majority of these groups place the emphasis on the Qur'an assuming that it has no abrogations and has no relation to Hadith whatsoever. Certain groups or individuals (particularly those influenced by Tolu-e-Islam) do accept Hadiths to certain levels as long as they do not contradict the Qur'an.
