A review over the Foundations and Findings of Ahmad Sobhi Mansour on Quran and Sunnah

Ahmed Sobhi Mansour, who is the symbol of the Quraniyun and anti-traditional flow in Egypt, tried to provide arguments for his foundation in two books, Al-Quran and the infallibles of Mosadra elyt-Shara-ul-Islam and Al-Sultan of Al-Quran al-Karim; his three principles respectively are: 1) The Quran is the only source of Islam. 2) There is a difference between the Nabi and Rasool, and only Rasool should be obeyed, not the Rasool who is not a legal character.
3) The Prophet and the Companions announced the prohibit of writing down their words. Therefore, in justifying why the number of rakat of prayers have not included in the Quran, as well as other details regarding Ahkam such as Hajj and the like, he has given some arguments which cause the rejection of the traditions derived from the infallibles.
In this study, the author expresses Mansour’s views on the basis of his writings and examines his words in two aspects (the foundation and the construction). Mansour regards the Quran's adequacy for two verses: Anam 38 and Nahl 89. In this article, it becomes clear that the concepts developed by Mansour have a serious contradiction with his principles.
