Ahl al-Hadith

Ahl al-Hadith, meaning "People of the Hadith," is a Sunni Islamic group that emphasizes the importance of the authentic sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, known as Hadith, for understanding the religion. They prioritize the Quran and Hadith as primary sources, often cautious about interpreting religious issues through reason or analogy. This approach aims to stay closely aligned with the original teachings of Islam, emphasizing strict adherence to what is directly supported by the Prophet's recorded sayings and practices. Their focus is on preserving the authentic traditions passed down from the early Islamic generations.
