In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful
by Kidr Amari
Unfortunately, today the Muslims, Jews and Christians have deviated from the original teachings of their Prophets such as Prophet Muhammad, Musa and Isa Ibn Maryam. They have left the Divine Teachings for man made books called Hadith. When you truly research and thoroughly examine their argument how they love to defend their man made books you can since the similarities in the argument they all bring.
The Sunnah today isn’t the Sunnah that is mentioned in the Qur’an and it isn’t the Sunnah of the previous Prophets and Messengers followed? The Muslims today do not follow the Prophet Muhammad because today they follow his alleged actions/words in traditional narrations/ahadith and this is akin to the Mishnah Talmudic Hadith of the Jews after the death of Prophet Musa and the Bible being traditional narrations/ahadith after the death of Prophet Isa Ibn Maryam (Jesus).
I strongly urge any Muslim to study the history of such practices. Do Muslims think they are immune to what happened to the Jews and Christians of the past after their Prophets came to them...i.e. their practices/message were distorted afterwards?
Muslims who love to defend this mystery Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah outside of the Qur’an contained inside of the Books of Tradition in Sahih Bukhari and company I would love for you to compare your belief with Jews and Christians and then put your belief in Hadith and Sunnah outside of the Qur’an to the same test that we put our Jews and Christian Brothers belief to.
Here are common points to consider:
1) the validity of the ‘Jewish Mishnah Talmudic Hadith’ and ‘Gemara (Sunnah)’ and the authoring & authorization of it by other than Musa and Allah and
2) the validity of the ‘Bible’ and the ‘Hadith of Paul’ the authoring & authorization of it by other than Jesus and Allah.
3) the validity of the ‘Hadith’ and ‘Sunnatul Rasoolillah’ outside of the Qur’an and the authoring & authorization of it by other than Muhammad and Allah
Some basic fundamental points that Muslims should consider asking:
1) WHO authorized the collection of the Hadiths (certainly not Allah neither did the Prophet Muhammad?
2) Why does the accuracy of Hadiths have nothing to do with the character of the transmitters no matter how numerous or how popular they are?
3) Is it possible that Hadith cannot possibly be compared to the Quran ( the work of God) and therefore used as tool to interpret it?
4) Isn’t Any human created law subject to continuous scrutiny, objection and interpretation?
Ironically the Jews use to defend the Mishnah Talmudic Hadith and they still do, the Christians use to defend the Jesus is God theory and the Trinity and they still do and Muslims now defend Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah outside of the Qur’an.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of the "Muslims" have discarded the Quran in favor of books (hadith) written by humans 250+ years after the revelation of the Quran and the death of the prophet.
When we argue against these man made Hadith from the Muslim, Jewish and Christians the only response we get from them is the usage of the response from them using ‘inference’ or ‘implying’ that their evidence ‘means’ something even though it doesn’t say it.
When confronted with the question bring your Bayyinaat (Clear Evidence) their only response is to infer, imply or suggest that a verse ‘means’ something else but really what they do is misinterpret the verse.
Now what do I mean to ‘imply’ or to ‘infer?’
Imply:
vb -plies, -plying, -plied (tr; may take a clause as object)
1. to express or indicate by a hint; suggest what are you implying by that remark?
2. (Philosophy / Logic) to suggest or involve as a necessary consequence
3. (Philosophy / Logic) Logic to enable (a conclusion) to be inferred
4. Obsolete to entangle or enfold
[from Old French emplier, from Latin implicāre to involve; see implicate]
Usage: See at infer
Imply:
- imply, infer - A speaker or writer implies, a hearer or reader infers; implications are incorporated in statements, while inferences are deduced from statements. Imply means "suggest indirectly that something is true," while infer means "conclude or deduce something is true"; furthermore, to imply is to suggest or throw out a suggestion, while to infer is to include or take in a suggestion.
- intent, intention - Intent implies a sustained unbroken commitment or purpose, while intention implies an intermittent resolution or an initial aim or plan.
in·fer:
v. in·ferred, in·fer·ring, in·fers
v.tr.
1. To conclude from evidence or premises.
2. To reason from circumstance; surmise: We can infer that his motive in publishing the diary was less than honorable.
3. To lead to as a consequence or conclusion: "Socrates argued that a statue inferred the existence of a sculptor" (Academy).
4. To hint; imply.
v.intr.
To draw inferences.
in·ferrer n.
Usage Note: Infer is sometimes confused with imply, but the distinction is a useful one. When we say that a speaker or sentence implies something, we mean that it is conveyed or suggested without being stated outright: When the mayor said that she would not rule out a business tax increase, she implied (not inferred)that some taxes might be raised. Inference, on the other hand, is the activity performed by a reader or interpreter in drawing conclusions that are not explicit in what is said: When the mayor said that she would not rule out a tax increase, we inferred that she had been consulting with some new financial advisers, since her old advisers were in favor of tax reductions.
Infer:
vb -fers, -ferring, -ferred (when tr, may take a clause as object)
1. to conclude (a state of affairs, supposition, etc.) by reasoning from evidence; deduce
2. (tr) to have or lead to as a necessary or logical consequence; indicate
3. (tr) to hint or imply
inferable , inferible, inferrable, inferrible adj
inferably adv
inferrer n
Usage: The use of infer to mean imply is common in both speech and writing, but is regarded by many people as incorrect
Infer, imply - Infer means "to deduce, reason," and imply means "to hint at, suggest."
See also related terms for hint.
imply, infer - A speaker or writer implies, a hearer or reader infers; implications are incorporated in statements, while inferences are deduced from statements. Imply means "suggest indirectly that something is true," while infer means "conclude or deduce something is true"; furthermore, to imply is to suggest or throw out a suggestion, while to infer is to include or take in a suggestion.
See also related terms for imply.
Usage: The use of infer to mean imply is becoming more and more common in both speech and writing. There is nevertheless a useful distinction between the two which many people would be in favour of maintaining.
To infer means 'to deduce', and is used in the construction 'to infer something from something':
I inferred from what she said that she had not been well. To imply means `to suggest, to insinuate' and is normally followed by a clause: are you implying that I was responsible for the mistake?
Throughout the Muslims who follow and defend the mystery Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah and those who defend the Jewish Mishnah Talmudic Hadith and Gemara (Sunna) and the Christians who defend the Jesus is God theory and the Trinity only ‘infer’ or ‘imply’ that their scripture supports them which is conjecture but they never ever present Bayyinaat (Clear Evidence).
What is conjecture?
con·jec·ture
–noun
1. The formation or expression of an opinion or theory withoutsufficient evidence for proof.
2. an opinion or theory so formed or expressed; guess;speculation.
3. Obsolete . the interpretation of signs or omens.
–verb (used with object)
4. to conclude or suppose from grounds or evidence insufficientto ensure reliability.
–verb (used without object)
5. to form conjectures.
Definition of CONJECTURE
1. obsolete : interpretation of omens
b : supposition
2.
a : inference from defective or presumptive evidence
b : a conclusion deduced by surmise or guesswork : a proposition (as in mathematics) before it has been proved or disproved
Allah tells us about those who follow ‘conjecture’ in the Qur’an:
“Among them are unlettered folk who know the scripture not except from hearsay. They but guess.” Surah 2:78
And
“Should you obey the majority of those on earth, they would lead you astray from Allâh's way. They follow nothing but mere surmise and they do nothing but make conjectures.”
And
“If thou obeyedst most of those on earth they would mislead thee far from Allah's way. They follow naught but an opinion, and they do but guess.” Surah 6:116
And
“They who are idolaters will say: Had Allah willed, we had not ascribed (unto Him) partners neither had our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught. Thus did those who were before them give the lie (to Allah's messengers) till they tasted of the fear of Us. Say: Have ye any knowledge that ye can adduce for us? Lo! ye follow naught but an opinion. Lo! ye do but guess.” Surah 6:148
And
“They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them.” Surah 53:23
And
“And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.” Surah 53:28
But when 'Haqq' meets meer guesswork 'conjecture' what does Allah say about this mixing of truth versus falsehood?
“Nay! We hurl the Truth against falsehood and it does smash it’s brains and thus it perishes. And woe be to you for what you describe (with your tongues) [Surah 21:18]
“It is the Truth from thy Lord so be not thou of those who waver.” Surah 2:147
“That is because Allah hath revealed the Scripture with the truth. Lo! those who find (a cause of) disagreement in the Scripture are in open schism.” Surah 2:176
What you'll see on both sides from the Muslims, Jews and Christians defending their explanations on why they follow their Hadith books outside of the revealed books given to their Prophets such as Muhammad, Musa and Isa (Jesus) yet their argument are not supported by any sayings of the Prophets contained in their scriptures the scriptures they brought or by the verses of the Qur’an.
The scholar's word's apparently conveys a kind of presumption and inference and not an acknowledged reality or a historical fact. From both the Muslims, Jews and Christians who defend their doctrine of the Mishnah Talmudic Hadith, Jesus is God/Trinity and from Muslims who defend the Hadith/Sunnah there is no AL-BAYYINA (THE CLEAR PROOF, EVIDENCE) in their arguments at all.
Unless we forget about the history of the past and now history is only repeating itself we are reminded that if we thoroughly study we will find the following:
1) The Jews, hundreds of years after Moses's death CREATED Mishnah Talmudic (Hadith, sayings) and Gemarrah (sunnah, Actions) and uphold them and they invented laws in them rather than the Al Kitab (revealed word of God).
2) In the city of Nicene 300 years after the death of Jesus, the concept of Jesus is God and the Trinity was CREATED, and is now the primary source of a Christian's belief in Paul's Hadith in defiance of the Bible which advocates the absolute worship of God Alone.
3) The Muslims 150- 200 years after the death of Muhammed CREATED another source of their din with the Quran, "Hadith and Sunnah", falsely attributed to the prophet Muhammed, and in defiance of the Quran. Today most Muslims have discarded the Quran in favor of Hadith and Sunnah.
Yet, Allah says:
"If only the people of the scripture believe and lead a righteous life, we will then remit their sins, and admit them into gardens of bliss. If only they would uphold the TORAH, and the GOSPEL, and what is sent down to them herein (QURAN) from their Lord, they would be showered with blessings from above them and from beneath their feet. Some of them are righteous, but MANY of them are evil-doers." 5:65-66
In this verse there is No Mishnah Talmudic Hadith or Gemarrah (Sunnah) that the Jews believe or the Muslim Hadith/Sunnatul Rasoolillah of Sahih Bukhari and company and finally there is no belief in the Divinity of Jesus being God, or any Trinity here at all and it can’t get any simpler than this.
Historically, the Jews use to defend the Mishnah Talmudic Hadith and the Gemarah (Sunnah) and the Christians use to defend the belief that Jesus was God/Trinity and now the Muslims are defending the Hadith/Sunnah.
Historically here is the a brief overview: The Jews
Oral Torah and the Making of the Talmud
At Mount Sinai, God gave God's people the wisdom of the Al Kitab:
1) Written law (part written down by Moses)
2) Oral law (all the interpretation of the law by rabbis)
The Oral Torah/law remains open – rabbis to this day participate with God in the giving of the Torah. Oral Torah is just as sacred as written Torah.
The School of Galilee and the Palestinian Talmud
The Oral Torah of almost 150 rabbis were collected by the Rabbinic School of Galilee (Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Judah ha-Nasi) as the Mishnah ("Repetition" or "Study"), completed about 220 AD
Commentary on the Mishnah called Gemara or "Supplementary Learning" was collected by the School for Galilee over the next 200 years and added to the Mishnah, producing the Palestinian Talmud about 425 AD
Note that:
1) Gemara + Mishnah = Talmud Hadith
2) The Gemara (Sunnah) is the "Supplementary Learning" consists of:
Haggadah (anecdotes and stories for instruction)
Halakah (means "the way;" the body of law defining the holy way of life)
The School of Babylonia and the Babylonian Talmud:
Many Israelites remained in Babylon after the exile of 586 BC; and many refugees fled to Babylonia after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD
Rabbinic School of Babylonia became the major center of Jewish scholarship
It also collected commentary on the Mishnah (Gemara or "Supplementary Learning") and produced the Babylonian Talmud about 500 AD
- 2.5 million words
- about three times the size of the Palestinian Talmud
- the most definitive collection of Oral Torah
The Mishnah consists of six orders (sedarim, singular seder סדר), each containing 7-12 tractates (masechtot, singular masechet מסכת; lit. "web"), 63 in total.
Each masechet is divided into chapters (peraqim, singular pereq) and then paragraphs or verses (mishnayot, singular Mishnah).
The Mishnah is also called Shas (an acronym for Shisha Sedarim - the "six orders").
The Mishnah orders its content by subject matter, instead of by biblical context, and discusses individual subjects more thoroughly than the Midrash.
It includes a much broader selection of halakhic subjects than the Midrash. on a page is.....
The six orders are:
1) Zeraim ("Seeds"), dealing with prayer and blessings, tithes and agricultural laws (11 tractates)
2) Moed ("Festival"), pertaining to the laws of the Sabbath and the Festivals (12 tractates)
3) Nashim ("Women"), concerning marriage and divorce, some forms of oaths and the laws of the nazirite (7 tractates)
4) Nezikin ("Damages"), dealing with civil and criminal law, the functioning of the courts and oaths (10 tractates)
5) Kodashim ("Holy things"), regarding sacrificial rites, the Temple, and the dietary laws (11 tractates) and
6) Tohorot ("Purities"), pertaining to the laws of purity and impurity, including the impurity of the dead, the laws of food purity and bodily purity (12 tractates).
In each order (with the exception of Zeraim), tractates are arranged from biggest (in number of chapters) to smallest.
Historically here is the a brief overview: The Christians
Hebrew and Aramaic were Semitic languages of Palestine, and Greek a language of the Roman Empire. The Hebrew/Greek translations of Jesus’ sayings from the Aramaic are not authentic, the Logia is perished forever. This is exactly what scholars are saying:
Jesus taught his disciples as he moved about, and his words were first passed around by word of mouth. The gospels portray Jesus as one who speaks, not as one who writes. Jesus' native tongue was Aramaic. We do not know whether he could speak Hebrew as well. His words have been preserved only in Greek, the original language of all the surviving gospels. If Jesus could not speak Greek, we must conclude that his exact words have been lost forever. (ibid, p. 3)
Some readers of this work will perhaps be surprised or embarrassed to learn that certain of Jesus’ sayings, parables, or predictions of His destiny were not expressed in the way we read them today, but were altered and adapted by those who transmitted them to us. (Maurice Bucaille, The Bible The Quran and Science, p. 88)
The Gospels were written by people more interested in a living Lord present in their midst than in Jesus the historical man from Nazareth. Many scholars now hold that much of what is placed on the lips of Jesus in the Gospels was put there by Gospel writers (just as the writers of Hellenistic history placed speeches on the lips of famous persons). It is really the understanding that Gospels are faith documents that has led to what is called the “quest for the historical Jesus”. (Bonnie Thurston, Women in the New Testament, p. 63)
Only 16% of all events whereby Jesus was the principal actor are historically accurate and only 18% of the Jesus sayings—primarily parables and aphorisms- are historically accurate
Some of the events in the early mission of Jesus] were not strictly true but were added to the story of Jesus by the early Christians to express their faith in him as a Messiah." [London Daily Mail, page 12, 15/July/1984]
“The number of deliberate alterations made in the interests of doctrine is difficult to assess.” [Bruce M. Metzger's "The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption and Restoration", 1964]
“It is difficult to know whether the words or sayings attributed to Jesus are written exactly as he spoke them. (St. Joseph Medium Size Edition, p.23)
"Hard sayings are frequently softened in the process of transmission to adapt them to the conditions of daily living (The Five Gospels, p. 295)
Some of the events in the early mission of Jesus] were not strictly true but were added to the story of Jesus by the early Christians to express their faith in him as a Messiah." [London Daily Mail, page 12, 15/July/1984]
“His pure and true words were adulterated and mixed with legend (Hadith)” (David Benjamin, Muhammad in the Bible, p. 84)
We (can) only know Jesus through translation, and apocryphal accounts. The Logia of Jesus was preached by Matthew to the Hebrews, and subsequently it was translated into Greek. Modern scholars reject that Matthew is a translation of the “Gospel According to Hebrews”. The first ‘gospel’ (Mark) was allegedly composed in 70 CE, and there is no evidence to prove the Gospels existed before 150 CE.
One would be mistaken in thinking that once the Gospels were written they constituted the basic Scriptures of the newly born Christianity and that people referred to them the same way they referred to the Old Testament. At that time, the foremost authority was the oral tradition as a vehicle for Jesus's words and the teachings of the apostles. The first writings to circulate were Paul's letters and they occupied a prevalent position long before the Gospels.
They were, after all, written several decades earlier…It has already been shown, that contrary to what certain commentators are still writing today, before 140 A.D. there was no witness to the knowledge that a collection of Gospel writings existed. It was not until circa 170 A.D. that the four Gospels acquired the status of canonic literature. (Maurice Bucaille, The Bible, The Koran, and Science, p. 67)
“In reality, the four gospels selected for inclusion in the New Testament do not make any appearance in the literary and archaeological record until the last quarter of the 2nd century, between 170 and 180 C.E., and even then they are not much mentioned for a couple of decades. In this regard, Church Fathers and archbishop of Constantinople John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) stated that the names traditionally attached to the canonical gospels were first designated at the end of the second century” (The Suns of God, Acharya S.)
"The Four Gospels were unknown to the early Christian Fathers. Justin Martyr, the most eminent of the early Fathers, wrote about the middle of the second century. His writings in proof of the divinity of Christ demanded the use of these Gospels had they existed in his time. He makes more than 300 quotations from the books of the Old Testament, and nearly one hundred from the Apocryphal books of the New Testament; but none from the four Gospels. (Tim C. Leedom, The Book Your Church Doesn’t Want You to Read)
Not a single Gospel was written down at the time of Jesus, they were all written long after his earthly mission had come to an end”. (Maurice Bucaille, The Bible, The Koran, and Science, p. 127)
The first substantial physical evidence for the four Gospels comes from near the end of the second century CE, about 170 years after Jesus’ demise.” (Tom Harper, The Pagan Christ, p. 139)
The books [canonical gospels] are not heard of till 150 A.D., that is, till Jesus had been dead nearly a hundred and twenty years. No writer before 150 A.D. makes the slightest mention of them." (Bronson, C. Keeler,A Short History of the Bible)
Paul (or Saul of Tarsus) was a pharisee and a very controversial person. He belonged to Tarsus in the Eastern Roman Empire (probably Greece).
It is said that he lived during the time of Jesus, possibly born between 3 to 5 B.C. but no one knows his exact date of birth. Paul persecuted the Jews and Christians for long time and then suspiciously converted to Christianity after reportedly seeing a "dream." Then, somehow, his name changed from Saul to 'Paul' and he literally became the founder of an altered version of Christianity, the one practiced today by the Christians.
Paul is regarded as the most important interpreter of Jesus' mission. The gossip goes that he explained in a way that Jesus himself didn't. Paul claimed that he was commissioned by Jesus to preach Christianity. But Christians today openly acknowledge that other than Paul's own claim that he was commissioned by Jesus, there is no proof at all that he was.
In fact, majority of the Christian sources are of the firm opinion that Paul never even saw or met Jesus. Yet, every word of his was considered law and he was never questioned nor required to prove his credibility concerning whatever he claimed. He lay the foundation of altered Christianity.
He began being recognized as the most important source of Christian laws which had nothing to do with the original Faith as preached by Jesus, son of Virgin Mary. We can well imagine how many Christians have so far deviated from their true roots in preference to the phoney stories and whispers of this man, in the name of faith.
Historically here is a brief overview: The Muslims
The Qur'an and the alleged ‘Hadith’ and ‘Sunnatul Rasoolillah’
The Qur'an is the most sacred scripture of Islam.
It contains the exact words of Allah to Muhammad
1) has 114 chapters called surahs, 6000 verses called ayas
2) Not chronologically or topically arranged.
3) Instead, it is arranged from longest sura (287 verses) to the shortest sura (3 verses)
The Hadith/Sunnatul Rasoolillah that Muslims hold dear to and defend:
After the Qur'an, the most sacred scriptures of Islam are the Hadith (Tradition), consisting of recollections of alleged Muhammad's words and actions.
They were collected over the two centuries after Prophet Muhammad's death and the six books of Hadith or tradition have general acceptance.
Sunni Muslims view the Six major Hadith collections as their most important.
They are, in order of authenticity:
- Sahih Bukhari, collected by Imam Bukhari (d. 870), includes 7275 ahadith
- Sahih Muslim, collected by Muslim b. al-Hajjaj (d. 875), includes 9200 ahadith
- Sunan al-Sughra, collected by al-Nasa'i (d. 915)
- Sunan Abu Dawood, collected by Abu Dawood (d. 888)
- Jami al-Tirmidhi, collected by al-Tirmidhi (d. 892)
- Sunan ibn Majah, collected by Ibn Majah (d. 887)
What came to be regarded by the Sunnites as the `Six Authentic Books' compiled by Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Daud, Ibn Maja, Tirmidhi and al-Nasa`i, and the four Shi'ite compilations by
- al-Kulaini,
- Ibn Babuwayh,
- al-Murtada and
- Ja`afar Muhammad al-Tusi
Unfortunately, history was to repeat itself. The Muslims have a duplicate of the Mishnah Talmduic Hadith and Gemara (Sunnah) and the Christians who followed "Paul" and also the Muslims have followed Abu Hurairah.
He is the master of the Hadith literature (which is the counterpart of the altered Christian & Jewish Bibles), having narrated the largest number of Hadith narrations by spending the least number of years in the company of Prophet Muhammad in Medinah.
In his own words: "There is none among the companions of the Prophet who has narrated more Hadiths than I except 'Abdallah bin Amr (bin al-'As) who used to write them and I never did the same." Narrated Abu Huraira (Hadith No.1.113).
Now here comes the argument:
Questions to ask about the Talmud are:
1) to steal from gentiles
2) to have sex with children
3) to have no respect for gentiles, in the worst way and
4) the Talmud is questioned for its statements about Christianity and its founder
5) Jewish supremacy.
The Basic Doctrine of the Talmudic Hadith:
The basic Talmudic doctrine is more than a super-race complex, it is an "only" race concept. The non-Jew ranks as an animal, has no property rights, no legal rights under any code whatever. Communism is, therefore, but the movement to tickle the noses of the cows to lead them into the barn under milking machines, there to beef those who kick or are dry. The eggs are collected from the human "hens" under Communism, or the hens fried for dinner. If lies, bribes or kicks are necessary to get the cows and hens under control; that is legitimate.
There is only one "sin," and that is a frightening technique which will drive the other hens or cows away and make it harder for the "humans" to get them under control again. Milk the Gentile, is the Talmudic rule, but don't get caught in such a way as to jeopardize all Jewish interest. Hence the millions going into "Brotherhood" movements as the "animals" are being stabled across the whole earth by Talmudists and their bought or bossed proselytes.
Now compare Muslims and Christians argument defending their Hadith books outside of the Scriptures:
When Muslims ask the Christians for clear proof from Jesus himself saying that he's God the Christians will never be able to prove from any verse in the Bible that Jesus actually said that he's God Almighty.
The Christians will base their inference on these Chapters and verses to prove Jesus is God even though these verses don't say anything about Jesus saying he's God.
But now think about this if you’re a Muslim following Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah outside of the Qur’an, now using this same argument when Muslims who only follow Qur’an alone ask Muslims to prove that we are to follow Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah, what does the Muslim say:
"And We have sent down unto thee (also) the Message; that thou mayest explain clearly to men what is sent for them, and that they may give thought." [Qur'ân 16:44]
Christians uses other scriptures making inferences claiming that this defends their belief that Jesus is God,
“For a good work we stone thee not; replied the Jews, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” (John 10:33).
Again, Muslims defending the Hadith and Sunnah use as inference:
"And We sent down the Book to thee for the express purpose, that thou should make clear to them those things in which they differ, and that it should be a guide and a mercy to those who believe." [Qur'ân 16:64]
Christians uses as inference John 8:58:
"I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. "
Again, Muslim uses as inference:
"But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction." [Qur'ân 4:65]
Christians use as inference John 1:14 that says:
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us”
Muslims defending the alleged Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah say that Allah also mentioned that Rasoolullaah was given the Qur'ân and outside revelation called Wisdom to teach people the regulations of their deen:
"Allah did confer a great favour on the believers when He sent among them an apostle from among themselves, rehearsing unto them the Signs of Allah, sanctifying them, and instructing them in Scripture and Wisdom, while, before that, they had been in manifest error." [Qur'ân 3:164]
Christians uses as inference and say because Jesus had not only broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making Himself equal with God. John 5:18, Christians say Jesus said:
“I and my Father are one.” John 10:30
Muslims defending Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah uses as inference that we are obligated to follow any ruling by Rasoolullaah Muhammad in any dispute:
"But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction." [Qur'ân 4:65]
Christians uses to defend their theory of Jesus being God and Trinity and say without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
“God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16
Muslims defending the Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah uses as inference to say that a very strong indicator of the obligation upon us to follow the Sunnatul Rasoolillah can be found in this aayaah:
"...And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad (sallallaahu`alaihiwasallam) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it) , and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is severe in punishment." [Qur'ân 59:7]
Christian’s uses as inference to defend their belief about Jesus being God and say therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 (written: 712 BC (Before Christ)
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1:23
Christians uses as inference to defend their belief that Jesus is God by quoting,”
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1
Muslims defending the Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah outside of the Qur’an uses as inference and say a very strong indicator of the obligation upon us to follow the Sunnatul Rasoolillah can be found in this aayaah:
"...And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it) , and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is severe in punishment." [Qur'ân 59:7]
Christians say when many were about to stone Jesus for blasphemy (John 10:30-39), He said to them that said he blasphemed:
"…because I said, I am the Son of God?" (John 10:36).
“You call Me Teacher and Lord; and ye say well; for so I Am.” John 13:13
Then the Muslims who follow Hadith/Sunnah will argue against the Christians defending their doctrine with these points:
1- Jesus said that only GOD Almighty knows about when the Hour will come.
2- Jesus said that he is not "good", and that only GOD Almighty can be called "good".
3- Jesus said that he had no Divine Will, and that only GOD Almighty can Will.
4- Jesus even was so weak that he escaped to Egypt, for his life, from King Herod and his Roman thugs.
5- Jesus even prayed to GOD Almighty the way we Muslims do, by bowing his face down to the ground before GOD Almighty.
6- When tempted by Satan, Jesus couldn't even make up his mind for 40 long days and nights about whether he wanted to stay with GOD Almighty or join Satan.
7- Jesus in ample quotes said that GOD Almighty is greater than him, and that Jesus without GOD Almighty is literally nothing.
8- The Old Testament even says that Jesus will receive the Spirit of fearing GOD Almighty in him.
Now I come to witness the same thing (playing with words) and as the Christians use inference the Muslims who follow Hadith/Sunnah does the same thing. When Muslims who only want to follow Qur'an alone ask the Muslims who defend the Hadith/Sunnah to provide proof they provide the same type of argument by using inference to the Qur'an:
We are asked by Allah to answer any order by Rasoolullaah:
"O ye who believe! give your response to Allah and His Messenger, when He calleth you to that which will give you life." [Qur'ân 8:24]
Allah made the obedience of Rasoolullaah an obedience to Him, and following Rasoolullaahan indication of the love of Allah:
"He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah." [Qur'ân 4:80]
"Say: If ye do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you sins." [Qur'ân 3:31]
And Allah warned us from not following the instructions of Rasoolullaah):
"Then let those beware who withstand the Messenger’s order, lest some trial befall them, or a grievous penalty be inflicted on them." [Qur'ân 24:63]
Not only that, but Allah told us that disobeying Rasoolullaah) is Kufr (disbelief):
"Say: Obey Allah and His Messenger.: But if they turn back, Allah loveth not those who reject Faith." [Qur'ân 3:32]
It was never allowed by Allah that a believer disobey Rasoolullaah order:
"It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path." [Qur'ân 33:36]
To show that not following the ruling of Rasoolullaah when a dispute occurs is a sign of hypocrisy, Allah says:
"They say, We believe in Allah and in the apostle, and we obey; but even after that, some of them turn away; they are not (really) Believers. When they are summoned to Allah and His apostle, in order that He may judge between them, behold some of them decline (to come)....The answer of the Believers, when summoned to Allah and His Messenger, in order that He may judge between them, is no other than this: they say, "We hear and we obey"; it is such as these that will attain felicity." [Qur'ân 24:47-51]
All of the above verses from the Qur'an referencing the Qur'an inferring that this answers where is‘Sunnatul Rasoolillah’ in the verses provided are a complete failure.
Not one verse provided states and proves Muslims defending the Hadith/Sunnautl Rasoolillah by name and just like the Christians fail to provide one verse from their own Bible referecining Jesus saying, "I am God.'
Remember Muslims who love Hadith/Sunnah if you truly believe you have the truth how simple can it be to provide the AL-BAYYINA (THE CLEAR PROOF, EVIDENCE).
Allah the Almighty has said,
“…There is none beside Him as Lord and Master, and He never permits any partners to share in His kingship. You shall recite what is revealed to you of your Lord’s scripture. Nothing shall abrogate His words, and you shall not find any other source beside it. (18:26-27).”
Thus, Allah alone is the Lord and Master who never permits any partners to share in His kingship; the Qur’an is the only book that was revealed to the prophet, nothing shall abrogate its words, and the prophet didn’t find another book other than the Qur’an to which he referred. The prophet didn’t find other than Allah as a god and lord.
If the prophet himself referred only to the Qur’an, then what of us ourselves?
Please provide jus ONE SURAH/AYAT as Reference:
(1) We are suppose to follow Hadith/Sunnatul Rasoolillah? or
(2) We will get guidance from Hadith/Sunnatul Rasoolillah? or
(3) We are suppose to believe in Hadith/Sunnatul Rasoolillah or
(4) Hadith/Sunnatul Rasoolillah was revealed or sent down (nazala) to Muhammad?
Please consider the following Muslims who follow Sahih Bukhari and company:
Muslims who defend and choose to follow these baseless Hadith and Sunnah Books contained in Sahih Bukhari and company what true argument can you have against Christians who claim Jesus is God when you can't prove your own doctrine that the Hadith/Sunnatul Rasoolillah is from Allah?
How are Muslims who follow Hadith/Sunnah any different from Christians who claim Jesus is God? There is no proof for your alleged Hadith and Sunnatul Rasoolillah just like there are no proof for Christiains alleging that Jesus is God.
"You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them." 17:36 So, VERIFY.
Allah has revealed clear and concise verses in the Qur’aan and told us which Book/Scripture Muhammad of Arabia received:
Qur’aan 6:19
قُلْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَكْبَرُ شَهَادةً قُلِ اللّهِ شَهِيدٌ بِيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ لأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ مَعَ اللّهِ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى قُل لاَّ أَشْهَدُ قُلْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَـهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنَّنِي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ
Say, “Whose testimony is the greatest?” Say, “Allah’s. He is the witness between me and you that this Qur’aan has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you set up other gods besides Allah.” Say, “I do not testify as you do. I disown your idolatry.”
Again, let's examine this Surah and ayat because it's clear that Allah has revealed clear and concise verses in the Qur’aan and told us which Book/Scripture Muhammad of Arabia received and what is missing is HUGE: Hadith/Sunnah
Qur’aan 6:19
قُلْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَكْبَرُ شَهَادةً قُلِ اللّهِ شَهِيدٌ بِيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ لأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ مَعَ اللّهِ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى قُل لاَّ أَشْهَدُ قُلْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَـهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنَّنِي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ
Say, “Whose testimony is the greatest?” Say, “Allah’s. He is the witness between me and you that this Qur’aan has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you set up other gods besides Allah.” Say, “I do not testify as you do. I disown your idolatry.”
The above verse clearly teaches us that we should not accept any information without first examining it with our God-given senses and mind.
Following opinions or opinion leaders blindly without first verifying them from the divine code may lead to tragic ends, as the Qur’an states:
"And they shall all come forth before Allah, then the weak shall say to those who were proud: Surely we were your followers, can you therefore avert from us any part of the chastisement of Allah?
Hence to be a Muslim one has to know the will of Allah, and if we do not know the will of Allah as expressed in the Qur’an then how are we to judge who is right and who is wrong?
They would say:
If Allah had guided us, we too would have guided you; it is the same to us whether we are impatient (now) or patient, there is no place for us to fly to." (14:21)
The blind followers will disown their leaders on the day of judgement and vice versa:
"When those who were followed shall renounce those who followed (them), and they see the chastisement and their ties are cut asunder. And those who followed shall say: Had there been for us a return, then we would renounce them as they have renounced us. Thus will Allah show them their deeds to be intense regret to them, and they shall not come forth from the fire." (2:166-167)
We are informed in advance that to follow our Religious leaders and great men, without verifying their teachings with the Qur’anic criteria may lead us to make the following statement on the day of retribution:
"And they shall say: O our Sustainer! surely we obeyed our leaders and our great men, so they led us astray from the path; O our Sustainer! give them a double punishment and curse them with a great curse." (33:67-68)
One the final day Allah will question us only concerning the Qur’an, and it is for this that we have to prepare ourselves. (See 23:66-67, 104, ,25:30, 45:31)
Therefore our ability to think and to ponder is a supreme gift. Let us not allow any individual or group of individuals to usurp this God-given gift away from us, otherwise the consequences have been foretold in the Qur’an.
