Qur’anists’ Deviant Da'wah as Reflected in Their Trends of Tafsir in Northern Nigeria.
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
This article is a study on the deviant Da'wah propagated by Qur'anists in Northern Nigeria as reflected in their trends of Tafsir. It is based on the study of their open air field Tafsir which is also reproduced on DVDs and CD Roms. Their Tafsir focused mainly on the belief that the Qur'an has contained everything religious in it in great details; as such it requires no other books to explain it as perceived by other Muslims. They argued that the Prophet never uttered any religious word beside the Qur'an. The primary aim of their Da'wah therefore is to justify their position of rejecting Hadith and other religious books beside the Qur'an as a source of religious guidance and they also considered the Hadith followers as idol worshippers and hypocrites. They are more of Kharijites in disguise. In all their Da'wah work they interpreted the verses of the Qur'an out of context in support of their sectarian views. This study have defined, identified the leaders of Qur'anists in Northern Nigeria and their prequently quoted verses out of context to defend and support their deviant claim.
