Re: Difference between Ahle-Sunnat and Ahle-Hadeeth
I couldn’t clearly understand the difference between the two schools…only based on their practices etc
Hadith and Sunnat sounded kind of same to me…because you would know about sunnat from hadeeth only
i read it somewhere and somebody plz clarify..
Sunni- They believe on following the ‘practice’ of their predecessors (scholars/aalims etc) which they believe to have been passed down from generation to generation…“Taqleed”..and thats from where they derive their information besides the Quran
Ahle-Hadit… they believe that the knowledge/information which was recorded in text books is the sole/only/pure thing to follow. Must refer to the books of hadeeth for every matter and not follow predecessors…
So basically the main difference is that the sunni believe that
The Prophet SAW guidance/practice/information that has been passed through generation is the source
and
Guidance/practice/information that was converted into texts is the original source that needs to be consulted everytime
Please shed some light on the above viewpoint
As far As i know, Ahlesunnat who are also called “Sunni” are the blind followers of either Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi and Imam Hanbli whereas Ahle-hadith and the followers of Imam of Imams Janab Hazrat Muhammad peace be upon him
