An Analysis and Critique on Burqae's Reasons about Authority of just Quran in Guidance of Humanity

Abulfazl Burqae Qomi is a contemporary Shiite scholar having especial views and some of his late works get close to Sunni and Wahhabism’s views. This similarity of their ideas with Burqae is to the extent that Saudi Arabia has published some of his books. Believing in authority of just Quran is one of these ideas. It means that the Holy Quran is enough for the guidance of humanity and we can be reached to the right path without hadith and Imams’ traditions. This paper tries to analyze and criticize his reason about this subject. He resorts to the Quran, the prophet Mohamamd and Imams’ traditions and some sociological reasons for proving his claim. Also he doesn’t offer any rational reason for that. “Existence of all laws, teachings and human needs in the Quran”, “Exclusivity of Guidance of humanity in the Quran” and “the authority of Quran in settling the disputes” are some of his most important reasons for the adequacy of the Quran. His claim about authority of just Qur’an is rejected in the paper.
