(→Five Pillars of Islam: I have added in some more scholarly information and citations on this topic, and changed some of the more polemical language to be more balanced which I will continue to review. And I've added a small section on the Sunni-shia as nothing on electing religious leaders is in the Quran.) |

{{quote|Ibn Abd al-Barr - Jami' Bayan al-'Ilm (2:33)|The Sunna is divided into two types. The first is the consensus transmitted from the masses to the masses. This is one of the proofs that leave no excuse for denial and there is no disagreement concerning them. '''Whoever rejects this consensus has rejected one of Allah's textual stipulations and committed apostasy.''' The second type of Sunna consists in the reports of established, trustworthy lone narrators with uninterrupted chains. The congregation of the ulamas of the Community have said that this second type makes practice obligatory. Some of them said that it makes both knowledge and practice obligatory.}} | {{quote|Ibn Abd al-Barr - Jami' Bayan al-'Ilm (2:33)|The Sunna is divided into two types.
