Campaign against Sunnah (Its history and types)

Abstract

Since the emerge of Islam, this religion and its messenger, Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), have ceaselessly been challenged and opposed by different people in different stages and periods.

In this research, some prominent figures and groups who have opposed Islam, Prophet Mohammad, and his traditions in particular via different means, are described. In this regard, the research firstly sheds light on the nonbelievers of Quraish, the Jews of Medina, and the Munafiqin (Hypocrites) and then concentrates on Majus (fire worshipers), Shia, and the Orientalists.

This research is a chronological analytical account which explains the conspiracies conducted by enemies against the Prophet Mohammad and his traditions in different eras of Islamic history.

The current research is an attempt to clarify and meanwhile counteract some newly proposed misconceptions about the Prophet and his traditions. The misconceptions whose proposers call for disregarding prophet’s traditions and merely focusing on the holy Quran. This research solidifies that these proposed ideas and misconceptions are not new and have been referred to earlier in different periods of history of Islam and that they have been talked and refuted by Islamic scholars. It furthermore, stresses that excluding prophet’s traditions from Islam religion, means ignoring the role and position of Prophet Mohammad in Islam and this seems rather illogical and unconvincing. The current research is the first written work in Kurdish language which chronologically tackles the abovementioned issue.
