Alquran I: Yang Bukan Termasuk Alquran
Main summary
Key takeaways
Main ideas / concepts conveyed
-
The Qur’an as the first source of Islamic law
- The video presents the Qur’an as the primary legal/theological reference in Islam.
- as-Sunnah is presented as the next source.
- Ijtihad is described as the method used when a direct solution isn’t explicitly found in the Qur’an and as-Sunnah.
-
Legal instruction from the Qur’an (An-Nisā 4:59)
- The Qur’an teaches believers to:
- Obey Allah (ati’ullāh)
- Obey the Messenger (ati’ur-rasūl)
- Obey those in authority/leadership (ulil amri minkum)
- A key clarification is included: obedience to ulil amri (leaders) is limited, not absolute—i.e., obedience does not apply if it conflicts with Allah and His Messenger (capturing the principle referenced as “no obedience to creation if it disobeys the Creator”).
- The Qur’an teaches believers to:
-
How to handle disagreements
- If believers differ about a matter, they are instructed to return the issue to Allah and the Messenger.
- The speaker interprets “returning to Allah and the Messenger” as returning to:
- The Qur’an
- as-Sunnah
-
Hadith supporting holding to the Qur’an and as-Sunnah
- A hadith is cited (attributed to Imam Malik in al-Muwatta’, with subtitles describing it as al-muhadzdzab):
- The Prophet is described as leaving “two weighty things” such that whoever holds to both will not go astray.
- The two are identified as:
- The Qur’an
- as-Sunnah
- A hadith is cited (attributed to Imam Malik in al-Muwatta’, with subtitles describing it as al-muhadzdzab):
-
Three-source framework: Qur’an, as-Sunnah, and ijtihad
- The relationship is explained as:
- Qur’an = primary reference (khas / definitive in meaning)
- as-Sunnah = secondary reference that explains/implements the Qur’an
- Ijtihad = used when an issue cannot be resolved directly through Qur’an and as-Sunnah
- Condition for ijtihad: even when using ijtihad, the juristic outcome must still refer back to the Qur’an and as-Sunnah (ijtihad is not independent of them).
- The relationship is explained as:
Methodology / instruction-like steps (as presented)
-
When facing a religious/legal issue
- Look to the Qur’an as the first reference.
- If the Qur’an does not resolve it, refer to as-Sunnah (as it explains/implements the Qur’an).
- If Qur’an + as-Sunnah still do not resolve it, use ijtihad.
- Requirement: ijtihad must remain grounded in the Qur’an and as-Sunnah.
-
When leaders are involved in commands
- Obey ulil amri (those in authority).
- Only within limits—do not obey commands that amount to disobedience to Allah and the Messenger.
Definition and content of the Qur’an (as explained)
Language-based meaning
- The word “Qur’an” is said to come from Arabic:
- qara’a / qirā’ah: “to collect/recite”

Theological / terminological definition
The Qur’an is described as:
- The word of Allah
- Revealed to Prophet Muhammad
- Delivered through Angel Gabriel (Jibril)
- Transmitted by mutawātir narration

What is not included as “Qur’an” (clarifications)
- Revelation other than to Prophet Muhammad is not considered Qur’an.
- A distinction is made between Qur’an and Hadith Qudsī:
- Hadith Qudsī is described as meaning from Allah, but its wording/compilation is associated with/through Muhammad rather than being the Qur’an’s recited Qur’anic wording.
