Abstract:
|
The Sahaba, the primary correspondent of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, have a steady position in terms of pointing out to people who learn, interpret and live the religious principles in the most accurate way, and are accepted as a source in the understanding and knowledge of Qur’an and Sunnah. Also, the continuity and durability of the religious principles have been possible with the efforts of the Sahaba, and they have provided the divine truths to be preserved and delivered to the next generations. However, some debates among the Sahaba have provided the basis for the emergence of different faithful interpretations in later periods and perception and understanding of the Sahaba have directly been determining in the formation of the principles which were adopted by various approaches of beliefs to distinguish and differentiate themselves from other groups. The groups with different belief approaches have shaped fiqh, tafsir and hadith content around the Sahaba thought. |
