Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explain the concept of the authority of the Prophet
given by Quran as well as in the light of authentic and popular two traditions of Islam. At the first stage, this paper explains the concepts of (i) Un-conditional
obedience to the profit, (ii) The relationship between the Quran and the Hadith, (iii) What the Prophet gives you, take: the explanation of this dictum in the
Sunni and Shii traditions, (iv) Obedience to the Prophet is different from obedience to a Head of State and (v) The Prophet as Arbiter in all disputes, the Prophet as “good pattern” the Prophet as law giver and as man. At the second stage, after discussing the recognition of Divine inspiration in the commands of the Prophet, paper gives Quranic evidence that the Prophet had Divine
guidance apart from the Quran. It also highlights the distinction between the
two kinds of „Wahy‟ and the common points between the two kinds of „Wahy‟. We see through the examination of authentic literature there is a consensus of
two traditional schools of thought on the Quranic concept of the authority of the
Prophet. We see through the examination of authentic literature there is a consensus of two traditional schools of thought on the Quranic concept of the authority of the Prophet . All true traditions of the Prophet are, consistent with the Quran and obedience to both causes no trouble, because their can be no contradiction between the two. this paper illuminates the concepts with the
help of authentic sources and can be a stepping stone and an invitation towards an in-depth understanding of authentic sources and can help in future to leave the land of controversy to fight against prejudices with critical understanding of authentic sources.
