A Critical Study of Amritsari and Chakaralvi`s Opinions for the Quranic Sufficiency against Tradition

Although the Prophet (S) had prophesied and rejected the Quranic sufficiency from tradition before it was institutionalized by his successors of rule, with the hadith of Erika, in the last century, after many ups and downs, it was developed by two influential thinkers of the Indian subcontinent, Abdullah Chakaralvi and Khwajeh Ahmad Amritsari. Therefore, the present study has intended to evaluate the Quranic views of these two meta-continental thinkers in a descriptive-critical manner. In this regard, the findings of the study are as follows: The three arguments presented by these two thinkers in justifying their view are as follows: The Qur’an is a divine revelation, contrary to the tradition; the Prophet‘s part lies in communicating the Divine revelation only not in communicating the tradition. All religious rules ma be understood by the holy Quran and there is no need to the tradition.
