[Salika]

The concept of only looking at the Qur'an and seeing as the be all end all is an overly simplistic concept which can lead to much confusion. It begs the question "who's interpretation of the Qur'an?" and "what if the Qur'an does not explicitly speak about such a matter?"

Also, many people who view the Qur'an as the be all end all tend to use their own personal views of what the Qur'an should be. This is very indivudalist (a very modern/Western concept) which is contrary to the sunnah.
