Allah's Guidance (Hidayat) is the only guidance...

Allah guides whom He pleases to the right path (siratim-mustaqim):

Surah 2:142 "The fools among the people will say: "What hath turned them from the Qibla to which they were used?" Say: To Allah belong both east and West: He guideth whom He will to a Way that is straight."

Surah 2:213 "Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guided whom He will to a path that is straight."

But Allah doth call to the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight."Surah 22:54 "Surah 4:175 "Then those who believe in Allah, and hold fast to Him,- soon will He admit them to mercy and grace from Himself, and guide them to Himself by a straight way."Surah 6:39 " 

And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous: Surah 6:84-87 "

Surah 6:161 "Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah."

Surah 24:35 "Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things."

Surah 28:56 "It is true thou wilt not be able to guide every one, whom thou lovest; but Allah guides those whom He will and He knows best those who receive guidance."

Surah 33:4 "Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body: nor has He made your wives whom ye divorce by Zihar your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths. But Allah tells (you) the Truth, and He shows the (right) Way." 

Surah 34:6 "And those to whom knowledge has come see that the (Revelation) sent down to thee from thy Lord - that is the Truth, and that it guides to the Path of the Exalted (in might), Worthy of all praise."

Surah 39:23 "Allah has revealed (from time to time) the best Hadith in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah. He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide."

Surah 42:13 "The same deen has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him)." 

All throughout the above ayats of the Qur'an it's clear that it's only Allah who guides to the straight path and not any other form of guidance including this mystery called 'Sunnatu Rasoolillah' which means the Sunnah of Muhammad.

Now linguistically, Sunnah is an Arabic word which means a path or a way. However,  Islaamically, unfortunately it has come to be called a primary source of law taken from the sayings, actions and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad.

As Muslims we believe that the law Prophet Muhammad came with, is a divine revelation from our Creator, Allaah. However many people believe that the Qur'aan is not the only form of divine revelation, as it is the literal word of Allaah. This view is incorrect as it contradicts the Qur'aan itself. About the Prophet Muhammad the Muslims who follow outside sources from the Qur'an to defend their mystery Sunnatu Rasoolillah quote this ayat to defend their claim:

Allaah says:

 “Your companion (Muhammad) is neither astray nor being misled. Nor does he speak of his own desire. It is (only) the revelation with which he is inspired” (Surah An-Najm 53:2-4).

As Muslims, we are required to believe that the Qur'aan is a stand alone book and it doesn't require outside sources called Hadith and Sunnah books that the Muslims who follows theses outside sources claim go hand in hand together as our sources of legislated law. They claim that Both are revelation from Allaah, the most High. The Qur'aan is composed of the actual words of Allaah, yet whereas this mystery 'Sunnatu Rasoolilah' (Sunnah of Muhammad) is expressed through the words, actions and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad which is not validated throughout the entire Qur'an. 

Not I, but Allah tells us that His Holy Book (Al Qur’aan) is COMPLETE, PERFECT, FULLY DETAILED AND THAT IT EXPLAINS ALL THINGS (Qur’aan 6:114-115; 16:89; 6:38; 12:111), and as a way of life, Islaam is perfect and complete. However, such are the times that we live in, that some of the enemies of the Qur'an from the Muslims choose to deny aspects of Islaam to suit their own desires.

It is even more sad, that many choose to fabricate Hadith to justify their claim how there will come a time where Muslims will deny the Sunnah in particular.

“I have been given the Qur'aan and something similar to it besides it. Yet a time will come when a man leaning on his couch will say ‘follow the Qur'aan only; what you find in it permissible, take as permissible, and what you find as forbidden, take as forbidden’. But verily what the Messenger of Allaah has forbidden is like what Allaah has forbidden” Authentic - Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawood. 

They say that the Qur'aan commands us to worship Allaah through prayer, fasting, charity etc., but it does not inform us of how to perform these duties practically.

Along with the excessive questioning they say the additional washing of the ears and nose, in ablution, for example, are not found in Allah's Book.

Allah presents a questions to those who continue to question Allah's Book:

"Say: "What! Will ye instruct Allah about your deen? But Allah knows all that is in the heavens and on earth: He has full knowledge of all things." Surah 49:16 

This is a proof that Muslims don't need other sources than the Quran to practise Islam! We all know that it is Allah alone who guides to the straight path so how can a human being who was given Prophethood come along to say that his 'way' is the best way to guide the people. This is contradicting the Qur'an because Allah makes it clear through many ayats that even a Prophet of Allah can not come and say be worshipers or followers of himself.

Allah says,

"Surely the ‘HUKM’ (Law and Rule) is for none but Allah." (12:40)

"He does not make any one His associate in His ‘HUKM’ (Laws and Ruling)." (18:26)

The phrase "He (Allah) does not associate anyone in His Laws." (18:26)

These ayats alone makes it quite clear that obedience and rule is only for the Law of Allah alone and no one else and no other law. Even a messenger of Allah does not have the authority to make anyone subservient to his personal commands (Hadith/Sunnah) but obedience and subservience is only for the law of Allah, as the following verse declares:

"It is not meet for a Human Being that Allah should give him the Book and Government and 'Nabuwah' (Direct reception of Divine Messages), then he should say to people: Be subservient to me rather than Allah; but on the contrary (he would say): Become sustenance providers (to mankind) because of your teaching the Book and your studying (it yourselves)." (3:79)

But the Muslims who defends Hadith/Sunnah say that it is through Allah's infinite Wisdom, that Allaah has sent us a practical example in the form of the Prophet and his teachings called 'Sunnatu Rasoolillah'. 

However, Surah 3:79 clearly tell us that even a ‘Nabi’, i.e. a person who is a direct recipient of Allah’s message cannot make any other human being subservient to his own laws, and his own teachings but he too is asking the people to be obedient to the law of Allah by studying the Book of Allah and teaching it to others as well. Why would the Prophet Muhammad be prohibited to calling to his own laws and teachings? It's obvioius that the rule of Allah is ordained all over the universe in the form of natural laws, but in human affairs, it is established by governing all matters of human life though the injunctions contained in Allah’s Book.

Even the Prophet Muhammad is himself made to confirm that it is by introducing the injunctions of Allah’s distinctly elucidated Book, that Allah’s government is to be established in human affairs:

"Shall I then seek a Ruler other than Allah? When He it is Who has revealed to you the Book (which is) distinctly elucidated;" (6:114)

So the facts are is that the Prophet Muhammad only delivered the laws of Allah and the people are to obey the law that Allah gives them through the agency of the Rasul (Messenger).

The earlier ayats at the beginning of this note tells us clearly that the only guidance that can lead us straight is the guidance of Allah:

Surah 2:142 "The fools among the people will say: "What hath turned them from the Qibla to which they were used?" Say: To Allah belong both east and West: He guideth whom He will to a Way that is straight."

Surah 2:213 "Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guided whom He will to a path that is straight."

Surah 4:175 "Then those who believe in Allah, and hold fast to Him,- soon will He admit them to mercy and grace from Himself, and guide them to Himself by a straight way."

Surah 6:39 " Those who reject our Signs are deaf and dumb,- in the midst of darkness profound: whom Allah willeth, He leaveth to wander: whom He willeth, He placeth on the way that is straight."

Surah 10:25 "But Allah doth call to the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight."

So how can any human guidance in particular 'Sunnatu Rasoolillah' outside of the revealed guidance from the Qur'an alone be anything but misguidance.

In fact Allah makes it clear instructing the Prophet Muhammad to say:

"Say: "Allah's guidance is THE Guidance" [2:120, 3:73, 6:71]

"You cannot guide whom you love. But it is Allah who guides whom He wills; and He is fully aware of those who receive the guidance. [28:56]

"You are not responsible for guiding anyone. Allah is the only one who guides whomever chooses (to be guided). [2:272]

"Say, "I possess no power to harm you, or BENEFIT you through GUIDING you." [72:21]

We here a lot of times from the Muslims who follow man made guesswork called Hadith/Sunnah books outside of the Qur'an that came over 250 years AFTER the Prophet's death that Obeying Allaah is without doubt, obligatory. So when Allaah says:

 “Whosoever obeys the Messenger, has indeed obeyed Allaah” (Surah An-Nisa 4:80), they say that it should be clear that one has obeyed Allaah by obeying the Messenger.

Furthermore they used fabricated Hadith to defend and justify their claim attributing these tales to the Prophet Muhammad. They say that the Prophet Muhammad said: “…whosoever disobeys me, disobeys Allaah”. Reported by Bukhari - Eng. Trans. Vol 9., p.198, No. 251. Then follow up their claim saying following the Sunnah is clearly an obligation upon every Muslim.

The obligation is stressed even more when they claim and misintrepret an ayat of Allah by saying,

 Allaah says: 

and 

“It is not fitting for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decreed by Allaah and His Messenger to have any choice in the matter. If anyone disobeys Allaah and His Messenger he is clearly astray” (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:36).

As Muslims we know that when Allaah or His Messenger decree something for us, it will always benefit us, even if we do not realize it. Thus, submitting to the Messenger is only there for our benefit and not to oppress us, as some mistakenly believe. 

In Surah Al-Maidah, the messenger is ordered to deliver the Divine revelation received by him, otherwise he would not have fulfilled his mission:

"O Messenger! Deliver what has been revealed to you from your Sustainer; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving people." (5:67)

In the above ayat the messenger of Allah is ordered to deliver what has been revealed on him. Or what the Qur’an identfies as "ma_ unzila ilaika mir rabbik".

Now what are those divine teachings and laws that are revealed on the messenger? The following verses clarify as to what consists of (what has been revealed to you):

"And We have revealed the Book to you which has the clear explanation of everything , and a guidance and mercy and good news for those who submit." (16:89)

"Surely We have revealed the Book to you with the truth that you may judge between people by means of that which Allah has shown you; and be not an advocate on behalf of the treacherous." (4:105)

Once again without a doubt that it is the book of Allah which has been identified as the divine teaching which has been bestowed upon the messenger and through which the messenger himself is to judge people. Again we are reminded:

"And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, verifying what is before it of the Book and a guardian over it, therefore judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their low desires (to turn away) from the truth that has come to you;" (5:48)

Again it is confirmed that the messenger received the Book of Allah and he is to govern among people by Allah’s Book and he cannot deviate the slightest bit from the Qur’an. Now it has been confirmed by the above and many other verses in the Qur’an that the messenger has received the Book of Allah as divine teaching and not any outside teachings coming from an unknown mystery source that came over 250 years AFTER his death.

Allah tells us in His Book that Allah leaves to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills:

Surah 7:155 "And Moses chose seventy of his people for Our place of meeting: when they were seized with violent quaking, he prayed: "O my Lord! if it had been Thy will Thou couldst have destroyed, long before, both them and me: wouldst Thou destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us? this is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest whom Thou wilt to stray, and Thou leadest whom Thou wilt into the right path. Thou art our Protector: so forgive us and give us Thy mercy; for Thou art the best of those who forgive."

Surah 13:27 "The Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Truly Allah leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence,-"

Surah 14:4 "We sent not an apostle except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom."

From these ayats alone its Allah who leaves to stray whom He wills and also He guides whom He wills then how can a human being come with any guidance outside of the only guidance which is the Book of Allah. 

It must also be remembered that besides being the Messenger of Allaah, Prophet Muhammad was an Arab man living in seventh century Arabia. This meant that he had his own personal tastes and preferences just like any other mortal. The Muslims following Hadith will tell us that these preferences are clearly distinguished from the Islamic law which is binding upon everyone and they will tell us that his personal Sunnah is clearly distinct from the legal Sunnah which he brought.

But a question I have to continue to ask is when did he bring this 'Sunnatu Rasoolillah' where is it in the Qur'an so I can follow it?

They present us with examples such as according to their Hadith, when the Prophet came to Madeenah and found the inhabitants artificially pollinating the date palm trees. When he asked them why they did so, they replied that it was their habit. He suggested to them that maybe if they did not do it; it may be better. So they gave it up and the following year their crop was greatly diminished. When they told him of this he replied: “I am only a human being. When I issue any command to you regarding your religion, then accept it, but when I issue any command to you based on my own opinion, I am merely a human being” Reported by Muslim. Eng. Trans. Vol 4., p.1259, No. 5831. 

According to their own guesswork its telling them that there is a difference from his 'Messengership' and his being a mortal human being. Their own Hadith strikes the difference between a human being and a Messenger:

Ibn Saeed Al-Khudry reported that the messenger of God had said: 

"Do not write anything from me EXCEPT QURAN. Anyone who wrote anything other than the Quran shall erase it." 

Zayd Ibn Thabit (The Prophet's closest revelation writer) visited the Khalifa Mu'aawiyah (more than 30 years after the Prophet's death), and told him a story about the Prophet. Mu'aawiyah liked the story and ordered someone to write it down. But Zayd said. " the messenger of God ordered us NEVER to write anything of his hadith," 

The famous book, "Ulum Al-Hadith" by Ibn Al-Salah, reports a hadith by Abu Hurayra in which Abu Hurayra said the messenger of God came out to us while we were writing his hadiths and said; "What are you writing?" We said, "Hadiths that we hear from you, messenger of God."

He said, "A book other than the book of God ?!" We said, "Should we talk about you?" He said, Talk about me, that would be fine, but those who will lie will go to Hell. Abu Hurayra said, we collected what we wrote of Hadiths and burned them in fire. 

In the famous book, "Taq-yeed Al-Ilm", Abu Hurayra said, the messenger of God was informed that some people are writing his hadiths. He took to the pulpit of the mosque and said, "What are these books that I heard you wrote? I am just a human being. Anyone who has any of these writings should bring it here. Abu Hurayra said we collected all these and burned them in fire. 

Again, in the book "Taq-yeed Al-Ilm", Abu Saeed Al-Khudry said, " I asked the messenger of God a permission to write his hadiths, but he refused to give me a permission." 

 Ibn Hanbal in his Musnad book, narrates a hadith in which Abdullah Ibn Omar said, "the messenger of God one day came out to us as if he was going to depart us soon and said, "When I depart you (die), hold to the book of God, prohibit what it prohibits and accept as halal what it makes halal." 

Amazingly as it sounds according to their own Hadith there is No mention of the Sunnatu Rasoolillah 'Sunnah of Muhammad.'  

Yet, we are being indoctrinated and told by prominent Scholars of the scholars of the past, Imam Malik that tells us to follow this mysstery 'Sunnatu Rasoolillah, Imam Malik said: 

“The Sunnah is like the ark of Noah. Whoever embarks upon it achieves salvation and whoever rejects it, is drowned”

So many Muslims who following this mystery Sunnah believes that this salvation is the admittance into Paradise and avoiding the fire of Hell. They say those who rejects this mystery Sunnah will be filled with regrets on the Day of Judgment will be even worse for the one who did not follow the Sunnah and misinterpret the ayats of Allah to further support their invalid claims:

“And remember the day when the wrongdoer will bite at his hand and say: ‘Oh! Would that I had taken the path of the Messenger’” (Surah Al-Furqan 25:27).

This regret will continue during the punishment:

 “On the day the faces will be tossed about in the fire, they will say: ‘Woe to us! Would that we had obeyed Allaah and his Messenger” (Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:67).

They find comfort and support for those who do follow this mystery Sunnah and says that the one who adhered to the Sunnah will attain the ultimate benefit by again misinterpreting the Qur'an for their ridiculous claim:

“Whoever obeys Allaah and his Messenger will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow to live there (forever), and that will be the great achievement” (Surah An-Nisa 4:13).

To lay further support for their invalid claim they quote Hadith and say this is further confirmed by the Prophet himself when he said: 

“He who obeys me enters paradise, and he who disobeys me refuses to enter paradise” Reported by Bukhari - Eng. Trans. Vol 9., p.284, No. 384.

It's clear already that there are numerous ayats telling us to 'Obey the Messenger' but the question is what do we think OBEYING THE MESSENGER truly means exactly? If we were at the time of the Prophet Muhammad and were ordered to obey the word of God, how would we do so when we have no sources with us? Common sense will tell us that we would obey the MESSENGER, who speaks FOR Allah not for himself but unfortunately no one has the common sense to believe something so simple. We HAVE to make it complex and say that the messengers duty was MORE than just to deliver the message.

My overstanding is when it says "obey/follow messenger/prophet" it never says obey/follow Muhammad/follow Prophet directly at all it says 'obey/follow messenger' because it means exactly that, and limits the obeying/following to the capacity it mentions.

If it said "obey/follow Muhammad" or "obey/follow Prophet that would mean obey/follow the individual person in EVERYTHING said and done, as if it was a divine command. 

"O People of the Book! Indeed Our Messenger has come to you making clear to you much of what you concealed of the Book and passing over much; indeed, there has come to you light and a clear Book from Allah; With it Allah guides him who will follow His pleasure into the ways of safety and brings them out of utter darkness into light by His will and guides them to the right path." (5:15-16)

According to above verse the messenger is propagating the Book of Allah among the people of the Book. Again we are reminded as to what the messenger is giving to his people as a teaching so that they receive divine guidance:

"I am commanded only that I should serve the Sustainer of this city, Who has made it sacred, and His are all things; and I am commanded that I should be of those who submit; And that I should recite the Quran. Therefore whoever goes aright, he goes aright for his own soul, and whoever goes ' astray, then say: I am only one of the warners." (27:91-22)

The messenger is to recite the Qur’an, so that whoever wishes, he can take guidance, says the above verse. Again it is emphasized that it is only the Qur’an whose propagation has been made as an obligation on the messenger:

"Most surely He Who has made the Quran binding on you will bring you back to the destination. Say: My Sustainer knows best him who has brought the guidance and him who is in manifest error." (28:85)

the Muslims who follow Hadith believes that the Prophet Muhammad the the BEST of creation and this is the problem for them to resolve. They are the ones who has a perfect Prophet in mind. This is not a Quranic concept or teaching. The messenger is perfect with respect to revelation, out with this role he is human thus imperfect, like all prophets and human beings.

When talking about following the 'Messenger' which leads us to first the Arabic word 'Atwi'ou'(obey) comes first.. then 'ittibaa' (follow).... When following the 'Messenger' we have to first Obey, then follow.. We cannot follow without Obedience. In fact, the word 'follow' in itself is a concept which should be well understood, examined and researched. Because to follow definitely does not mean to follow the messenger in all his private matters and hobbies. 

To follow does not mean when he committed mistakes we do the same... and so on...

However, to follow means clearly following his example as set in the Quran:

1) How he was humble,

2) how he was patient,

3) how he had trust in Allah...

4) Following him on the straight path...

5) Following his attitude towards the poor..

Who would deny that Surah 33:21 that says the messenger was a excellent example and that his example is not in the Qur'an and that the Quran is filled with what we need to 'follow' from him or any other messenger. A messenger must have a message to be a messenger, thus when you call someone a "messenger" you are directly linking them to the message, no ifs or buts. If we are at the beach and should the sign read 'obey Charles' or 'obey the life guard?' It should read 'obey the life guard' even though the life guard's name is Charles.

How does one obey the lifeguard? By following the instructions with respect to his specific role, thus we bey by obeying the only message talked about being brought by the Prophet Muhammad which is the Quran. Unfortunately, of course, when Muslims who follow these man made books called Hadith, they read "obey messenger" but really read "obey Bukhari et al".

I cannot imagine for one second that a great man like the Prophet Muhammad or any other Prophet of Allah went around telling people but specifically the Prophet Muhammad went around telling people to:

1) to look him, 

2) act like him, 

3) dress like him, 

4) think like him, 

4) eat like him, 

5) sleep like him, 

6) drink like him, 

7) urinate like him

8) make love like him

9) stand like him

10 walk like him

11) brush our teeth like him

12) take off our shoes like him

Allah says, 

"Shall I then seek a Ruler other than Allah? When He it is Who has revealed to you the Book (which is) distinctly elucidated;" (6:114)

"And Allah has made for you of what He has created shelters, and He has given you in the mountains places of retreat, and He has given you garments to preserve you from the heat and coats of mail to preserve you in your fighting; even thus does He complete His favor upon you, that haply you may submit. But if they turn back, then on you devolves only the clear deliverance (of the message)." (16:81-82)

"And if you (o people) reject (the truth), nations before you did indeed reject (the truth); and nothing is incumbent on the messenger but a plain delivering (of the message)." (29:18)

"And obey Allah and obey the messenger, but if you turn back, then upon Our messenger devolves only the clear delivery (of the message)." (64:12)

"Say: Obey Allah and obey the messenger; but if you turn back, then on him rests that which is imposed on him and on you rests that which is imposed on you; and if you obey him, you are on the right way; and nothing rests on the messenger but clear delivering (of the message)." (24:54)

It is clearly established in the above ayats that the messenger of Allah is also to put into practice the laws contained in the Book of Allah not in some mystery books called Hadith/Sunnah books and this clearly makes it evident that obedience to the messenger means obedience to the laws contained in Allah’s Book which the messenger is to establish in human affairs. The messenger of Allah delivers only the message of Allah, and does not ask people to be obedient to any other rule or law other than that given in the Book of Allah.

More facts:

In the following ayats confirm that obedience to the messenger means obedience to the message being delivered by him:

"And obey Allah and obey the messenger and be cautious; but if you turn back, then know that only a clear deliverance of the message is (incumbent) on Our messenger." (5:92)

The Muslims who follows Hadith/Sunnah believes that the sweetness of this mystery Sunnah will also be tasted during this life. The make allegations stating that the vastness of the Prophet's way is such, that is produces a physical, spiritual and psychological benefit to its adherent. This fact is also recognized by non Muslim scientists who have discovered that the Sunnah is extremely accurate in its conformity with modern scientific data. Scientific and Medical facts which were recorded more then 1000 years ago, from the tongue of the Prophet, have only been recently discovered and then say that such findings prove that the Sunnah could only have been divinely revealed.

Yet, the actually 'Sunnah' itself after the science of Hadith came about much much later. In fact the rules for hadith science were not developed until the early 11th century, by Al-Hakim (d.1014) who developed 52 categories, and then Ibn al-Salah (d.1245) who developed 65 categories.

This huge gap from the time of the Prophet's death up until the time of so many fabricated Hadiths how can they lay claim that the one who reforms his life around the Sunnah of Muhammad, can be assured of a complete guidance again by pushing out Hadith to defend Hadith?

“I have left two things among you, as long as you hold fast to them you will never go astray. They are the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger."But they forget that anything not from Allah has contradictions so we know that there is one criterior that any book that some one claims is from Allah has to pass and that is the "acid test" of infallibility. There are countless contradictions within ahadith and they also contradict Al Qur'aan because they are the words of men and not Allah. Here is what Allah says about the Holy Qur'aan, which is infallible and the only revelation He revealed to Muhammad:

Surah 2:2

"This scripture is infallible; It’s a guidance to the select, who tremble at the mention of Allah."

Surah 4:82

"Why do they not study the Qur'aan carefully? If it were from other than Allah, they would have found in it man contradictions."

The alleged last sermon of the Prophet which is supposed to be witnessed by the thousands has three versions. The versions references are listed below:

1) I leave with you Quran and Sunna

Muwatta, 46/3

2) I leave with you Quran and Ahl al-bayt

Muslim 44/4, Nu2408; ibn hanbal 4/366; darimi 23/1, nu 3319.

3) I leave you for the Quran alone you shall uphold it. Muslim 15/19, nu 1218; ibn Majah 25/84, Abu dawud 11/56.

Now reading this correclty we will noticed the contradictions between these three accounts which is suppose to be Muhammad’s last sermon:

(1) states that Muhammad allegedly said that he leaves two things: QUR’AAN AND SUNNA

(2) states that Muhammad allegedly said that he leaves: QUR’AAN AND AHL AL-BAYT

(3) states that Muhammad allegedly said that he leaves: QUR’AAN ALONE

The contradictions is very obvious how could there be such contradictions in Muhammad’s alleged last sermon if he (Muhammad) is just one man and the hadith are the 'Sunnah'of Muhammad and that there are suppose to be eye witnesses to these hadith? This is further proof that hadith books are fabrications which has nothing to do with Allah, Islaam nor Prophet Muhammad.

In conclusion we are told from Allah in His Book that Allah's guidance is the only true guidance nothing else can come close or even compare to Allah's guidance:

Surah 2:120 "Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against Allah."

Surah 6:71 "Say: "Shall we indeed call on others besides Allah,- things that can do us neither good nor harm,- and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from Allah? - like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling, 'come to us', (vainly) guiding him to the path." Say: "Allah's guidance is the (only) guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds;-"

Surah 7:43 "And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury;- beneath them will be rivers flowing;- and they shall say: "Praise be to Allah, who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah. indeed it was the truth, that the apostles of our Lord brought unto us." And they shall hear the cry: "Behold! the garden before you! Ye have been made its inheritors, for your deeds (of righteousness)."

Surah 17:97 "It is he whom Allah guides, that is on true Guidance; but he whom He leaves astray - for such wilt thou find no protector besides Him. On the Day of Judgment We shall gather, them together, prone on their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf: their abode will be Hell: every time it shows abatement, We shall increase from them the fierceness of the Fire."

Surah 87:1-3 "Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion; 

Surah 10:35 " Say: "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give any guidance towards truth?" Say: "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards truth, is then He Who gives guidance to truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? what then is the matter with you? How judge ye?"

There is not one ayat saying that the 'Hadith' or 'Sunnatu Rasoolillah' meaning Sunnah of Muhammad will guide any one and it only confirms our point that the only guidance that is consistent in the Qur'an is the Book of Allah, which was the only Hadith revealed to our Prophet Muhammad.
