Sources of Islamic Aqeedah

Islamic Aqeedah will be derived only from two sources.

1.         The Holy Quran

2.         The Authentic Ahadith.

Following is not Source of Aqeedah.

1.               Weak Hadith.

2.               Any Analogy Logic, interpretation or  Ruling Whatsoever.

3.       Any interpretation based on any Story/story itself of Aulia Allah even if it is authentically proved.

4.        Any interpretation based on Kashf/Karamat or dream of Aulia Allah.

Few Important Points to be understood.

1.   For Fiqh (Islamic Law, Jurisprudence) There are four Sources of Islamic Law.

a)   The Holy Quran.

b)  The Authentic Ahadith.

c)   The Ijma (Consensus)

d)  The Qiyas (Analogy based on similar situation )

But in Aqeedah only the first two will be the source. Aqeedah matters are very clear unambiguous and unanimous among salafus salehin Scholars and Imams.Whereas is Fiqh (Islamic Law) there could be difference of opinion among Scholars as it happened even within the the companions (Sahanba Raziallahu Anhu)  

2.   The weak Hadith cannot be used for Aqeedah but will be used for Virtues (Fazail) and Targheeb o Tarheeb e.g for encouragement for a good work or warning for a bad action.

           Slafus Salehin Scholars including Imam Bukhari Rahimullah and Imam Ibne Taimmiya Rahimullah and others have used weak Hadith in Virtues (Fazail) e.g Imam Bukhari’s Al Adabul Mufrad Imam Ibne Taimmiya and but for Aqeedah the weak Hadith will not be used .But they will not be source of Islamic Aqeedah.

3.   Aqeedah can never be derived from any interpretation direct or implied based onKashf/Karamat or dream of Aulia Allah. Even Rule of Fiqh (Jurisprudence) cannot be derived fromKashf/Karamat/Dreams.

Karamat or Kashf of the Aulia Allah (Friends of Allah) are possible and to be accepted even if it looks impossible because Karamat and Kashf are by Allah power and will and for Allah nothing is impossible. The base line is it should be authentically reported.  

          But as these are only historical facts. And for recording and narrating of historical fact there is no strict regulation (compared to very strict regulation is for Hadith) so proving any Karamat authenticity beyond doubt is very difficult.

       Similarly if any historical fact comes with reasonable evidence it can be acceptable and altogether rejecting it will not be acceptable to many.

In summary no one should stress much on for or against of any historical fact of Karamat or Kashf.

But the baseline is that Karamat/Kashf/Dreams of Aulia Allah will not be a source of Islamic Aqeedah to prove or disprove any belief of Islam.
