Ahl-i Hadith

Ahl-i Hadith is a religious movement within Islam that emphasizes the importance of following the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, known as Hadith, alongside the Quran. They believe in interpreting Islamic teachings based directly on these authentic Hadith without relying heavily on medieval scholars' opinions or complex traditions. Their approach promotes a return to the original sources of Islam, seeking to understand and practice the faith as closely as possible to how it was in the early days of the religion. This movement is particularly influential in parts of South Asia and emphasizes individual understanding and adherence to the Hadith.
