Home›Islamic Scriptures›Excluded From CanonBrowse ByExcluded From CanonThis page groups scripture texts by whether a tradition has specifically ruled them out of its canon. Wikipedia notes that "sects of Islam differ on which hadiths (if any) should be accepted as canonical," a live debate over exclusion rather than a settled question. Browsing this way lets a visitor find every text a particular tradition has actively excluded rather than simply never considered.FactsExcluded From CanonSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedScriptures & Texts 1Excluded From CanonFilter Results3 entriesAdherents Today MaximumAll1,750,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll1,600,000,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllScholarly or Demographic Estimate (2)Date of Separation End YearAll680 (2)1930 (1)Date of Separation Start YearAll632 (2)1880 (1)Defining Doctrinal PositionAllBelief may be concealed where disclosure would bring harm (taqiyya) (1)In the Imam's absence a qualified jurist holds his political authority (1)In the Imam's absence the jurist guides and judges but does not rule (1)Succession by divine designation in the Prophet's family (1)Succession to the Prophet settled by the community (1)The Imams are protected from sin and from error (ismah) (1)The Qur'an alone as the source of law; hadith not binding (1)GovernanceAllAuthority in living jurists whom the laity choose to emulate (1)Authority in trained scholars, with no central office (1)No central authority (2)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCodified Obligation With Consequences (2)Liturgical LanguageAllClassical Arabic (3)The vernacular (2)Membership Figure As OfAll2009-01-01 (2)OrdinationAllConferred by a teacher's certification of learning (1)No ordination; authority rests on learning or on the whole body (3)Restricted to men (1)Origin Period End YearAll900 (1)941 (1)1930 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll632 (2)1880 (1)Position on MarriageAllMarriage may licitly be polygynous (2)Position on SexualityAllSame-sex orientation or practice is held to bar full membership or participation (2)Relation to the StateAllEstablished (2)Standard Rate ExpectedAllTwenty percent.
