Interpretation of Islam
No one may interpret Islam and how God wants it to be except God Himself, in his book, the Qur’an, and in the Sunnah of the Prophet. No human being has a higher status than God’s Prophet, yet he only delivers what God reveals to him. God says: ‘Messenger, proclaim what has been revealed to you by your Lord’. (5: 67)

Interpretation of Islam: What is in God’s book may be interpreted only through the Sunnah, the understanding of the Prophet’s companions and analogy with these.
When a question was put to the Prophet he would respond if the answer had been revealed to him. Otherwise, he would wait for the answer in new revelation. The people who were closest to understanding what the Prophet said were his companions and their understanding of the Qur’an is clear evidence.21 0
