Are ahadith, The Second Source of Islam?


Are ahadith, The Second Source of Islam?
People of the last ummah try to prove that unauthorized man-made books of ahadith, for which Allah never gave His approval, are the 2nd source of Deen. The undeniable fact is that these unauthorized books have been declared as hadith of the Messenger (S) by ghairullah (imaams, shiekhs, ulama). But---Allah The Most Wise Authorizes Al-Quraan as the Hadith of His Messenger (SAW). "Indeed , This (Quraan) is the Saying (Hadith) of a Noble Messenger(S)" (AlHaqqa-40) With Allah's Decision that Al-Quraan is The Hadith of a Noble Messenger (SAW), everything is changed, our direction is changed, and we are directed towards Al-Quraan only. If someone reads all those Verses, that the bukhari-followers quote to prove manmade books of ahadith as the second source of Islaam, and then the person comes to the above quoted Verse (Al-Haqqa-40), he will be perplexed and think that Bukhari and Muslim are hadith of the Messenger (S) according to ghairullah's decision (imaams, sheikhs, ulama), but Allah is giving His Decision that Al-Quraan is the Hadith of a Noble Messenger (SAW). "Indeed , This (Quraan) is the Saying (Hadith) of a Noble Messenger(S)" (AlHaqqa-40) Remember one very important point, and that is, what Allah is saying, the Messenger is also saying that. Again, what Allah is saying in His Quraan, the Messenger is saying the same while conveying The Quraan. So Allah's Sayings, and the Messenger's Sayings are indeed, one and the same thing, and that is Al-Quraan only. Allah's Words are Allah's Words, and Allah's Words are the Messenger's Words. What Allah revealed, the Messenger conveyed. No difference at all. A momin must have Imaan in it. So, what Allah said, the Messenger said. And what the Messenger said, is what Allah said. So, when we say, "Allah is saying in His Quraan", it means "the Messenger is saying in his Quraan". So, read again, and see what the Messenger (SAW) himself is saying about his Hadith. "Indeed , This (Quraan) is the Saying (Hadith) of a Noble Messenger(S)" (AlHaqqa-40) So, the Messenger is saying, this Quraan is my Hadith. It means the Messenger owns Allah's Quraan, as his Hadith.-----He didn't own Bukhari, Muslim and other man-made

books of ahadith, as his sayings. The Messenger never knew that after more than 200 years, some people, without Allah's Authorization, will compile books of ahadith using his name. And if on The Judgement Day, he is told about this act, that some people of your ummah were not satisfied at all with The Book you said was your Hadith, he will be grieved and sue against those people and their followers in the court of Allah: "The Messenger will say, "My Lord, my people have deserted this Quran." (AlFurqaan-30)-----and they had written their own qurans, many qurans. Again, see what our dearest Messenger (SAW) is saying,---and also see,----- do we obey or disobey what our Messenger is saying "Indeed , This (Quraan) is the Saying (Hadith) of a Noble Messenger(S)" (AlHaqqa-40) Do the last ummah today, obey the Messenger (S) and have Imaan in what the Messenger (S) is saying? No, not at all. They don't obey the Messenger (S) at all. They ignorantly, stubbornly and arrogantly disobey the Messenger (S) and say Bukhari and Muslim are the ahadith of the Messenger (S). So sad, the Messenger (S) owns Al-Quraan as his Hadith, and never owned Bukhari and Muslim as his Hadith. Is it not a fact? Is it not a fact? The whole ummah today, is disobeying the Messenger (SAW), yet they shamelessly claim that they love the Messenger (SAW) very much, and shamelessly say that the "Ishqe-Rasool" will save them from Hellfire.
===========================================

My brothers and sisters, The Messenger (S) is connected with "The Message".-----He brought "The Message" as his sayings, and indeed, he brought "The Message" as Allah's Commandments. He did not bring Bukhari and Muslim as his sayings. If extra-Quraanic sayings of the Messenger (S) had been of any importance in The Sight of Allah, then who would have been better than Allah Himself, to decide their necessity. But in The Sight of Allah the extra-Quraanic sayings of the Messenger (S) are not important. Nobody can ever prove that Bukhari and Muslim are the second source of Islaam. Allah's Quraan is the only Source of Allah's Deen. If man-made ahadith are also the source of Islaam, then why did Allah not take them in His Protection? Why?----Think that Allah took in His Protection The First Source of Islaam, Al-Quraan-----but left the second source of Islaam at the mercy of the imaams, sheikhs and allaamas? This one thing is quite enough to prove that man-made books of ahadith are not the second source of Islaam. Who would know best how to explain The Quraan, and make The Quraan easy-tounderstand and make It understandable to humankind better than The Creator Himself?

Therefore, man-made ahadith, tafseer or any human teacher is not at all needed to explain Allah's Quraan. Allah's Quraan is Allah's, not Bukhari's or Muslim's or allaama's. So, it is very much clear that Allah Himself is enough to explain His own Quraan. The terminologies "Quraan-o-Hadith" and "Quraan-o-Sunnah" are not in Allah's Quraan, and not authorized terminologies. These are man-invented terminologies. If you are perplexed, read Allah's Quraan yourself and then you will come to know the realities. All the ulama of the ummah stop people to read Allah's Quraan alone, directly without ahadith, tafseer or man-written books, because these ulama know that they will not be needed anymore. And they will be unveiled.

Think again, The Messenger is a Messenger, because he has "The Message". Remember, without "The Message", the Messenger is not a Messenger. And again remember, that without Bukhari and Muslim, still the Messenger is a Messenger, because he has "The Message". The Messenger (SAW) was the Messenger of "The Message" (Allah's Quraan only) revealed to him. He was not a Messenger of Bukhari or Muslim. And also he was not a Messenger of his own explanations of Al-Quraan. One more Quraanic point keep in mind, and that is, that in The Sight of Allah, His Quraan is the Hadith of the Messenger (SAW).-----So, when we say Allah is saying in His Quraan, it means the Messenger is saying in his Hadith (and his Hadith is "Al-Quraan"). The ummah is ordered to follow the Example of the Messenger (SAW). Read the Hadith of the Messenger (S) in Allah's Quraan. "Certainly, there is for you in the Messenger of Allah a good example for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and who remembers Allah much." (AlAhzaab-21) Yes, the above quoted Verse is in fact the Real Hadith of the Messenger (S), and not the unauthorized books of ahadith, Bukhari and Muslim. What is the Good Example in the Messenger of Allah that we should follow?---Indeed, The Quraan, and only The Quraan, is the Example of the Messenger (SAW), because the Messenger (SAW) followed The Quraan and nothing but The Quraan. Read more Ahadith of the Messenger (S) in Allah's Quraan. "Say (O Muhammad), "I am not something new (different) among the Messengers. I have no idea what will happen to me or to you. I only follow what is revealed to me. I am no more than a profound warner." (Al-Ahqaaf-9) "Say (O Muhammad): “It is not for me to change it on my own accord. I follow not but that which is revealed unto me. Indeed, I fear, if I were to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a Great Day.” (Younus-15) "Say (O Muhammad): “I do not say to you that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor that I know the Unseen (Ghaib). And I do not say to you that I am an angel. I

follow only that which is revealed to me.” Say: “Are the blind and the seer equal. Do you not then reflect.” (Al-Anaam-50) The Messenger (SAW) himself followed nothing but "The Message" he brought, and he is a Good Example of following "The Message" for his ummah, so the ummah should do nothing but follow the Messenger's Good Example and follow "The Message", Al-Quraan alone. Is obedience of the Messenger (SAW) man-made books of ahadith?---No! Not at all. This is a man-invented theory, and equal to going astray. Obedience of Allah is following Al-Quraan. And obedience of the Messenger (SAW) is also following Al-Quraan. Think, the Messenger (S) himself followed Al-Quraan, not man-made ahadith. So in obedience to the Messenger (S), do what he did. He followed The Quraan, not the ahadith. So, in obedience to the Messenger (S), you also follow Al-Quraan, and don't follow the man-made ahadith. Can anyone deny these facts? Sectarians of the last ummah say that whatever is in Bukhari and Muslim, are the sayings of the Messenger (SAW). Okay! Did Bukhari and Muslim themselves hear the Prophet (S) saying all his ahadith? If not, then who will authorize whatever Bukhari and Muslim compiled, as the true sayings of the Messenger (S)? And who will authorize them as "The Second Source of Islaam" for the ummah? Read the Hadith of the Messenger (S) in Allah's Quraan. "Shall I seek OTHER THAN ALLAH as a source of law, when He has revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED? ....The word of your Lord is COMPLETE, in Truth and Justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words; He is The Hearer, The Omniscient. Yet, if you obey the majority of people, they will take you away from The Path of Allah (Al-Quraan alone). That is because they follow CONJECTURE, and they fail to think." (Al-Anaam:114-116) In the above Verses Allah commanded His Messenger (S) to declare that---"Nothing shall abrogate His words"---If you carefully study unauthorized man-made books of ahadith, you will sure come to know that these ghairullah books are trying, in vain, to abrogate Allah's Words in The Holy Quraan. The example is the fabricated hadith of Shafa'ut. And unfortunately, today the overwhelming majority of the last ummah (except 1,2 or 3) have full faith in these fabrications in Bukhari and Muslim as the second source of Islaam. That is why Allah is saying to His Messenger (SAW) that---"if you obey the majority of people, they will take you away from The Path of Allah (Al-Quraan only). That is because they follow CONJECTURE, and they fail to think."--Now, read again, the above quoted Hadith of the Messenger: "Shall I seek OTHER THAN ALLAH as a source of law, when He has revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED? ....The word of your Lord is COMPLETE, in Truth and Justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words; He is The Hearer, The

Omniscient. Yet, if you obey the majority of people (today the majority of the last ummah follow Bukhari and Muslim), they (Bukhari-followers) will take you away from The Path of Allah (Al-Quraan alone). That is because they follow CONJECTURE (he heard from his father, and he heard from his grandfather, and he heard from his grandfather, and so on), and they fail to think." (Al-Anaam:114116) "The Day their faces will be turned over in the Fire, they will say: “Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah and had obeyed the Messenger. And they will say: “Our Lord, indeed we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they led us astray from The (Right) Way. “Our Lord, give them double the punishment and curse them with a great curse.” (Al-Ahzaab-66-68) Read again, and see what you understand: "The Day their faces will be turned over in the Fire, they will say: “Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah (The Message) and had obeyed the Messenger (The Message). And they will say: “Our Lord, indeed we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones (who wrote for us, the sin-lovers, books in which we could easily find loopholes for our sins, like the fabricated story of shafa'ut), and they led us astray from The (Right) Way. “Our Lord, give them double the punishment and curse them with a great curse.” (Al-Ahzaab-66-68) My brothers and sisters! This is my own understanding after reading Allah's Quraan. I read The Quraan for myself. Now you read The Quraan for yourself and have your own understanding. Allah's Quraan is The Easiest Book on the face of the earth.

Don't forget, all the ulama of the ummah stop people to read Allah's Quraan alone, directly without ahadith, tafseer or man-written books, because these ulama know that they will not be needed anymore. And they will be unveiled. You will never know the reality, until you yourself read your Creator and Sustainer's Safe, Holy and Supreme Quraan. "We have Revealed this Blessed Reminder. Will you then reject It?" (Al-Anbiya50) So sad, today the people of the last ummah have shamelessly rejected Allah's Quraan, and they are lost in the fabrications and deception of Bukhari and Muslim. Only due to having Imaan in Lies and Fabrications, the last ummah has lost Allah's Quraan. "Shall I seek OTHER THAN ALLAH as a source of law, when He has revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED? ....The word of your Lord is COMPLETE, in Truth and Justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words; He is The Hearer, The Omniscient. Yet, if you obey the majority of people (today the majority of the last ummah follow Bukhari and Muslim), they (Bukhari-followers) will take you away from The Path of Allah (Al-Quraan alone). That is because they follow

CONJECTURE (he heard from his father, and he heard from his grandfather, and he heard from his grandfather, and so on), and they fail to think." (Al-Anaam:114116)

Finally, Are man-made books of ahadith "The Second Source of Islaam?"
No, not at all! And can never be! Man-made books of ahadith can never be the source of Islaam, like Allah's Quraan. Allah's Quraan is The Only Source of Islaam. Allah's Deen is in Allah's Quraan, not at all in ghairullah's books. Islam is Allah's Deen. And Allah's Deen is in Allah's Book, Safe and Dignified Quraan. And Allah's Book is in Allah's Protection. "Certainly We, It is We who have sent down The Admonition (Al-Quran), and certainly We are indeed its Guardian." (Al-Hijr-9) So, Islaam is in Allah's Protection. Whereas man-made books of ahadith are not in Allah's Protection. It was left on the "mercy and free will" of Imaams and Sheikhs. Whatever they willed, they did. They invented their own "Science of Hadith" without the Guidance of Allah. Whereas the Messenger (SAW) never invented anything from his own mind. Everything was revealed to him from Allah. He was a Messenger, and not an inventor of anything in Deen from his own desire. He was a Messenger of "The Message" from Allah. The big Imaams invented their own non-Quraanic terminologies, "Quraan-o-Hadith", "Quraan-o-Sunnah", "Upon the understanding of the Salaf Saliheen", "Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamaah", etc. All these terminologies are man-invented and not at all found in Allah's Quraan. Should the people of the last ummah obey these non-Quraanic terminologies? Should they commit open shirk? Even the "Science of Hadith" is not revealed and not authorized by Allah. So man-made books of ahadith are unsafe. And "Unsafe Ahadith" can never be a source of a "Safe Deen, Islaam". It is nothing less than "Jahalut" to deem unauthorized and unsafe man-made books of ahadith, a source of Islaam. Bukhari and Muslim are nothing but books of History. A few ahadith are true sayings of the Prophet (SAW), because they can be proved to be true on Al-Quraan. Think again, the only source of Islam is Allah's Quraan which is in Allah's Protection. Man-made books of ahadith are not in Allah's Protection. Allah's Quraan is "Safe". So, it is very much clear that a person whose Aqeeda is Quraan and who follows The Commandments in Quraan, he is also safe from Hellfire. Man-made books of ahadith are not "safe", how can a person be saved from Hellfire who follows an "unsafe" and fabricated source?

The follower of The "Safe" Quraan is also "safe" from Hellfire. And can a follower of the unsafe ahadith be saved from Hellfire?-----Doesn't this go right into the heart? Or does the curtain of "arrogance and stubbornness" not let The Truth (AlQuraan only) into the hearts? The last ummah happily deserted Allah's Quraan about one hundred years after the death of the Prophet (SAW). It was the time of Bani Umayyah when the corrupt rulers (caliphs) and to the same degree, corrupt people had already started living a rich life. Allah's Quraan is clear, easy-to-understand and straight-forward. Lovers of this garbage world (garbage wealth, garbage honor, garbage comfort) could not stand the clear, straight-forward and easy-to-understand Advice of Allah's Quraan. They were, and still are, badly in need of ghairullah books (Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Fazael-e-Amaal, Kashful Mahjoob, Masnavi-e-Roomi, etc.) in the name of "books of Islaam", so that they could forsake Allah's Quraan easily and happily. Man-made books of ahadith, man-invented terminologies (Quraan-o-Hadith, Quraan-oSunnah), and thousands of ghairullah books, unnecessarily written on the topics of Islaam---filled this gap (need) of the sinful and shirk-doer people of the last ummah. They left Allah's Quraan forever and held Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and other ghairullah books as "books of Islaam". This is nothing but open shirk and open kufr of Allah's Quraan. The lovers of the garbage world of the last ummah, who have always been, and still are, in every age, in an overwhelming majority, convinced themselves that these ghairullah books, Bukhari, Muslim, etc. are the true explanations of Al-Quraan made by the Messenger (SAW) and therefore, are books of Islaam. A person who wants to commit some crime, he first of all tries to find some way to secure himself after doing the crime. He convinces himself that his method is foolproof and he will be saved. He has faith in his methods or ways. In the same way, the sinners and shirk-doers of the last ummah, who love this world, try to find some way to secure themselves after doing sins, shirk and kufr of Al-Quraan----and "the way" the sinners of the ummah found, is the fabrications and lies in the ghairullah's compiled books of ahadith. They have convinced themselves that Bukhari and Muslim are foolproof and they will be saved from Hellfire. The heavy majority of the people of the last ummah, presume that the ghairullah's books Bukhari are Muslim are a part of Allah's Wahee (Revelation) sent to the Messenger (SAW) and so they convince themselves that everything in these books are true. Their love for this garbage world does not let them use their intellect. They love the worldly life (garbage wealth, garbage honor, garbage comfort, garbage carnal desires) very much, and love to do sins, and love to degrade people and bahave them badly------they can not stand Allah's Quraan, which is A Clear Book of Advice, because it frightens people of the last ummah (who go for the worldly life and leave the

Hereafter) of Hellfire. Allah's Quraan warns them that there will be no Shafa'ut (intercession) from any Prophet or awliyah. Whereas there are many fabricated ahadith in ghairullah's books of ahadith, Bukhari and Muslim, that the sinful, bidutt-e-hasanah-doers and shirk-doers of the last ummah will have Shafa'ut of the Prophet (SAW) on The Judgement Day. Now, could there be a better news than this (Sorcery Shafa'ut) for the sinners, shirk-doers, biddut-e-hasanah-doers, kafir suicidal attackers, who are nothing less than Quraanrejectors? No, there could be no news better than this fabricated news of Shafa'ut from the Prophet (SAW) on The Judgement Day.

An Erroneous Notion of the followers of ghairullah's books
Today, an overwhelming and a heavy majority of the last ummah is suffering from an erroneous notion, and that is, that they differentiate between Al-Quraan and the sayings of the Messenger (SAW). The big imaams, sheikhs and ulama and their followers say that Al-Quraan and sayings of the Messenger (S) are two separate things, and both are sources of Islaam. We should know, and keep in mind, that the Messenger (SAW) was a Messenger of "Allah's Message" (Al-Quraan only). He was a Messenger of Allah's Sayings (Al-Quraan) only. He was not a Messenger of his own sayings or he was not a Messenger of his own explanations of Al-Quraan. Right?---Right?---Say "Yes" or "No". It will be written in a book and not erased and will be put before you on A Heavy Day, when the forsaker of Allah's Quraan will chew his hand. Allah The Most Gracious, The Most Wise, most Graciously and most Wisely declared His own Sayings (Al-Quraan) as The Sayings of the Messenger (SAW). "Indeed , This (Quraan) is the Saying (Hadith) of a Noble Messenger(S)" (AlHaqqa-40) And see the Wisdom of the above quoted Verse of Allah. Allah has closed all the doors for any kind of book or compilation, using the name of the Messenger (SAW). In The Sight of Allah, Allah's Message is Al-Quraan, and in The Sight of Allah, Hadith of the Messenger (SAW) is Al-Quraan. And then Allah is asking the people, and also the Messenger is asking the people: "Then in what Hadith will they believe after Allah and His verses? (Koran 45:6)." Is there anything worthy, other than Allah and His Verses? Is the last ummah not satisfied with the Hadith of the Messenger in Allah's Quraan? Read the Hadith of the Messenger (S) in Allah's Quraan. Read, and just think. "And he does not speak of his own desire. It is not but a Revelation that is revealed." (Al-Najum-3,4)

Whatever the Messenger (SAW) said was not from his own desire. Whatever he spoke, it was nothing but A Revelation which was revealed to him. So, first it was revealed, and then the Messenger (S) spoke. The Messenger's own explanations of Al-Quraan are his own words. How can the Messenger's own words become Allah's Words or Allah's Wahee? Do people have any Verse from Allah's Quraan to support their Aqeeda? If they don't have a clear cut Verse in favour of what they claim, then they are followers of Lies and Fabrications and their deen is Jadoo (Sorcery). Only Allah's Words are Wahee. The Messenger's explanations of Al-Quraan are his own words. Read the Hadith of the Messenger (S) in Allah's Quraan. "Surely the Hukm (Law and Judgment) is for none, but Allah." (Yousuf-40) Commandment, Order, Law and Judgement, Decision, all are for no one else, but Allah. Every Messenger was a Messenger of Allah's Wahee. He had no power to initiate an order in Deen from his own will. And as such, Allah has revealed in His Holy Quraan, that His Messenger (S) never say anything from his own desire. Why did, Allah never allow His Messenger (S) to say something about Deen from his own desire? Because there is only One Rubb. And the Messenger (S) was not rubb. Hukm is for Allah alone, and Allah didn't like His Messenger (S) to be a pertner in His Hukm. Allah issues a Hukm and the Messeger conveys It. Read the Hadith of the Messenger (S) in Allah's Quraan. "He does not make anyone His associate in His Hukm (Law and Judgment)" (AlKahaf-26) So, man-made books of ahadith are not at all Revelations. Even the actual explanations of Al-Quraan that the Messenger (S) made for the people, were not Revelations, they were the Messenger's own understanding in his own words. Was the Messenger (SAW) authorised by Allah to issue any teachings besides The Quran? Allah asserts to all believers that the Messenger (SAW) was commanded not to teach any other teachings, otherwise he would incur severe punishment from Allah. Read the Hadith of the Messenger (S) in Allah's Quraan. "It (the Quran) is a revelation from the Lord of the universe. Had he (Muhammad) uttered any other teachings, We would have grabbed him by the right, and We would have severed his Wateen (Major artery of the heart), none of you could have helped him." (Al-Haqqa-43-47) Those who insist that the Prophet left us a second source of religious law (hadith) are either accusing the prophet of disobeying Allah's commands in (Al-Haqqa-43-47), or do not really understand the Quran. Read the Hadith of the Messenger (S) in Allah's Quraan. "Shall I seek OTHER THAN Allah as a source of law, when He has revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED?" (Al-Anaam-114) Read Allah's Verse (Hadith of the Messenger) from The Only Book of Hidayah. "Then woe be to those who write the Scripture with their own hands, then they say,

“This is from Allah,” that they may sell it for a small price. Woe be to them for that which their hands have written, and woe be to them for that which they earn." (AlBaqarah-79) The above quoted Verse is about the jews who would write or compile books on deen with their own hands, and tell the people that it was from Allah (revelation). The Verse is clearly telling us that in the presence of Allah's Book of Hidayah, AlQuraan, it is strictly forbidden to write or compile books on deen. But see, Bukhari and Muslim and others disobeyed Allah's Clear Commandment and wrote ahadith with their own hands and compiled them into books, and then made a false claim about these unauthorized man-made books of ahadith, that they were revelations (are from Allah). They invented a terminology "Wahee-e-Khafee", and lied to people that that the explanations of Al-Quraan was "Hideen Wahee". Isn't it so? Isn't it so? Isn't it so? Do people of the last ummah, not have faith in this "false claim" that these man-made ahadith are revelations from Allah? "Then woe be to those who write the Scripture with their own hands, then they say, “This is from Allah,” that they may sell it for a small price. Woe be to them for that which their hands have written, and woe be to them for that which they earn." (AlBaqarah-79) Read the above quoted Verse (Hadith of the Messenger) with fear of Allah and you will come to know that Allah doesn't like at all any human-written book side by side His Holy Book. Allah is "Wahdahu La Sharik", His Quraan is also "La Sharik". There is no books like Allah's Quraan. Allah has already given an open challenge to all to write a book like His Qurann. And then Allah Himself has given His Judgement that you would fail to do so. Allah's Divine Quraan is The Only Source of Islaam, undivine books can not be a partner of Allah's Quraan. Having a false faith that unauthorized man-made books of ahadith are the second source of Islaam, is an open Shirk. One Book of Islaam, Allah wrote. And other books of Islaam Bukhari and Muslim wrote. Did Allah authorize Bukhari and Muslim as His partner in writing books on Deen? Na oozo billah! The instructions left by the Prophet (S) in accordance to above quoted Verses (AlAnaam-114), (Al-Haqqa-43-47), (Al-Baqarah-79) and many other clear cut Verses, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) himself commanded his people not to write his own hadith, and the proof is that none of the Sahaba disobeyed Allah's clear Verses and the prophet's instruction and never compiled any book of ahadith, they never even thought of it.--Sahaba were not shirk-doers.

For the first 200 years after the death of the prophet, and in accordance with his instructions, the writing of his hadith was forbidden. The first one to document a comprehensive collection of hadith was Al-Bukhari (Note that Al-Bukhari was born in the year 194 After Hijrah).

Even if we were to follow the hadith (which we are not), how accurate can a collection of sayings documented two centuries after the death of the prophet be? The peculiar matter here is that the followers of hadith do not wish to obey the Quran nor do they want to obey the instructions left by the prophet! They have brought their own quraans, and many quraans. So many rubbs to worship. "And when Our Verses are recited to them as clear Evidence, those who hope not for their meeting with Us, say: “Bring a quran other than this (Quran), or make changes in this (Quran).” Say (O Muhammad): “It is not for me to change it on my own accord. I follow not but that which is revealed unto me. Indeed, I fear, if I were to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a Great Day.” (Younus:15)
===========================================

Misinterpreting The Quranic Verses Or Misunderstanding The Quranic Verses Indeed, Allah knows best!
Read the following Verses, that the Bukhari-followers quote to prove Allah's Message and the Messenger's Message, two different things. Read the Hadith of the Messenger (S) in Allah's Quraan. "And when it is said to them: “Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger (Muhammad),” you see the hypocrites turning away from you in aversion." (Al-Nisa-61) Bukhari-followers say that Allah has mentioned two things in the above quoted Verse, the first one is---“Come to what Allah has sent down"---which is Al-Quraan, and the second one is---"(come) to the Messenger"---which is his sayings (ahadith). The Bukhari-followers think that the hypocrites are those, who come to what Allah has sent down (that is Al-Quraan) and thus follow Al-Quraan-----but they don't come to the Messenger (S), because they don't follow the sayings of the Messenger (ahadith). So, according to the Bukhari-followers, Allah is saying one thing (which is Al-Quraan), and the Messenger is saying the other thing (which are ahadith), and one must follow both of the things. My brothers and sisters, now read the Verse (Al-Nisa-60), which is before the Verse quoted above. Then only, it will be easy to understand the meaning of the next Verse. Read the following Hadith of the Messenger in Al-Quraan. "Have you not seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that (AlQuran) which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you. They wish to go for judgment (in their disputes) to satanic authorities, while they have been ordered to reject them. And Satan wishes to lead them astray, a far away misleading." (Al-Nisa-60) In the above quoted Verse (Al-Nisa-60), it is clearly nothing, but Al-Quraan.

The hypocrites never come to Al-Quraan (Hadith of the Messenger). And when they never come to Al-Quraan (Hadith of the Messenger), how can they ever come the Messenger, who is the Bringer of Al-Quraan, which the munafiqeen (hypocrites) never liked? And because they never come to the Messenger (SAW), how can they ever come to Al-Quraan? So, coming to the Messenger (S) means nothing but Al-Quraan. See what the munafiqeen (hypocrites) are demanding from the Messenger of "The Message". "And when Our Verses are recited to them as clear Evidence, those who hope not for their meeting with Us, say: “Bring a quran other than this (Quran), or make changes in this (Quran).” Say (O Muhammad): “It is not for me to change it on my own accord. I follow not but that which is revealed unto me. Indeed, I fear, if I were to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a Great Day.” (Younus:15) The munafiqeen (hypocrites) are not demanding to change the Prophet. Basically, they had no dispute with the Prophet. Do you agree? Think, at the time, in Makkah, when Allah's Wahee was not being revealed to Muhammad (S), people of Makkah, liked Muhammad (S) very much. They would call him "Ameen" and "Sadiq". These were the titles not given to anyone around. They made him their judge in their dispute over Hijr-e-Aswad, and what decision Muhammad (S) gave, they accepted it from the core of their hearts. The people of Makkah respected Muhammad (S) very much. But-----when Allah declared Muhammad (S) as the Messenger of His Message, people who loved and praised him, became his enemies. Why? ----Only because of The Message (Al-Quraan alone). Who will deny this historical fact which is even proved to be true on The Quraan. "Indeed, We know that it grieves you what they say (about Al-Quraan). Though indeed, they do not deny you (O Muhammad), but it is the Verses of Allah that the wrong-doers reject." (Al-Anaam-33) Did you see, Muhammad as Muhammad, was very much acceptable to the people of Makkah. But Muhammad (SAW) as the Messenger of Allah was not at all acceptable to the wrong-doers. Read the above quoted Verse and see what you understand. So, it is very much clear in The Light of the above quoted Verse, that Muhammad as "the Messenger of Allah" was not acceptable to the shirk-doers and the munafiqoon (hypocrites) because he always gave his decision of their disputes according to The Message he brought. Then in disappointment, they would run to the satanic authorities (anything other than Quraan) for decision of their disputes according to their own dirty desires. More Verses (Ahadith of the Messenger), for the Bukhari-followers who claim that the Messenger gave his decision out of Al-Quraan also. Allah ordered His Messenger (SAW)

"And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed (Al-Quran only), then it is those who are the disbelievers (kafiroon)." (Al-Maida-44) "And whoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed (Al-Quran only), then it is those who are the wrongdoers (zalimoon)." (Al-Maida-45) "And whoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed (Al-Quran only), then it is those who are the evil livers (fasiqoon)." (Al-Maida-47) The Messenger (SAW) always followed The Commandments of Allah and always judged by what Allah had revealed to him. And by what Book he judged, is before us and will be until Al-Qiyamah. How can Allah's Sayings and the Messenger's sayings be different, when he was fully responsible to deliver Allah's Message (Al-Quraan) only. Don't we fear Allah and ponder? Coming to Allah means, coming to "The Message" Allah sent. And coming to the Messenger (Al-Nisa-61) means, coming "The Message" he brought. How can coming to the Messenger mean coming to anything other than "The Message"? A Messenger is a Messenger, because he gives decisions according to "The Message". And think, in (Al-Nisa-61) Allah is saying---"you see the hypocrites turning away from you (O Muhammad) in aversion."---Why did the hypocrites turn away from the Messenger in aversion?-----Because the Messenger had with him Allah's Quran by which he would judge their matters and give decisions. Read the next Verses (Real Ahadith of the Messenger) from the same chapter, Al-Maida. "And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (the Quran) in truth, confirming that which was before it of the Scripture, and a criterion over it. So judge between them by that which Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires (diverging away) from what has come to you of the truth. For each among you, We have appointed a divine law and a clear way. And if Allah had willed, He would have made you one nation. But that He may try you in that which He has given you. So race one with another in good deeds. To Allah you will return all together, He will then inform you about that in which you used to differ." (AlMaida-48) The Quraan, by which the Messenger (SAW) judged between the people, is in Allah's Protection and Safe, and before us. And whatever the Messenger would say in his own words, while judging the matters between people is not important before Allah. So Allah never took the explanations of The Quraan made by His Messenger in his Protection and never declared those sayings as Wahee or a source of Law. Source of Divine Law is AlQuraan only, which the Messenger (S) himself followed. In the above Verse (Al-Maida-48), Allah is saying---"But that He may try you in that which He has given you"---And what Allah has given us is Al-Quraan only, and not the explanations of the Quraan made by the Messenger (S). In the Sight of Allah, only His Message (Al-Quran) is important. The Messenger came,

gave us The Message (Al-Quran only), and returned to Allah. Now The Message is very much there. The Messenger (SAW), in his time and environment judged by The Message. And the ummah, in their time and environment, is ordered to judge by the same Message that is there for them. This is how Allah is trying them, whether they come to what Allah has given them, or, run to ghairullah's compiled books of ahadith, obeying their own nufs (desires).---"But that He may try you in that which He has given you"--Read the next Verse (Real Hadith of the Messenger): "And that, judge (O Muhammad) between them by that which Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires, and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of that which Allah has sent down to you. So if they turn away, then know that Allah only intends to afflict them for some sins of theirs. And indeed, many of the mankind are evil-livers." (Al-Maida-49) In the above Verse Allah is saying---"So if they turn away"---turn away from what? Turn away from Quraan only. Allah is commanding His Messenger---"and do not follow their desires"--- What were the desires of the munafiqoon (hypocrites) which Allah is warning His Messenger not to follow? Remember one thing, that the munafiqoon are never among the non-muslims. Munafiqoon are always in the last ummah. At the time of the Messenger (SAW), those munafiqoon would offer Salah five times a day in the mosque. The would fast and do many other rituals like true muslims. But-------when it would come to their personal disputes among themselves, they always wished the Messenger to listen to their desires and judge according to what they wanted, and not according to Allah's Quraan. The munafiqoon (who take refuge in ghairullah's books) always love this garbage world. They are greedy and miser. They always make a show of their good deeds and want honor for themselves from people. They are mean and fight with one another over wealth, property or the matter of personal honor. A bad example is the last ummah today. The munafiqoon showed their obedience to Salah and other rituals, but their disputes was the point where they were not ready to obey Allah's Commandments, because it was a matter of their personal honor (arrogance) and worldly benefits. They would sure come to the Messenger (SAW) for the decision, but wanted him to give decisions according to their personal desires. This is where Allah is warning His Messenger (SAW) ---"and do not follow their desires, and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of that (Al-Quran) which Allah has sent down to you"---And when the Messenger (SAW) would follow Al-Quraan to judge between them, they would turn away from the Messenger (from The Message) in aversion. "And when it is said to them: “Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger (Muhammad),” you see the hypocrites turning away from you in aversion." (Al-Nisa-61) And further Allah is saying in the chapter Al-Maida: "Is it the judgement of the time of (pagan) ignorance that they are seeking. And

Who is better than Allah for judgement to a people who have firm faith." (AlMaida-50) Even today, you can observe the same arrogance, meanness, jealousies, most evil behaviour and aggression in the last ummah, 99.9999% (except 1,2 or 3). All of them want their dispute to settle down in obedience to their own dirty desires. They don't fear Allah at all, 99.9999%. The people of the last ummah who have completely and shamelessly rejected Allah's Quraan, are the same kind of munafiqoon like the ones at the time of the Messenger (SAW). If the Messenger comes to them today and calls them to Allah's Quraan only, they would say to their Prophet "we have the books of your sayings well-compiled." The sign of such munafiqoon and shirk-doers is that they are harsh, ill-tempered, show off, arrogant, ignorant, fasiqoon, zalimoon and Quraan-rejectors. In spite of their strenuous Ibahah, they are fearless of Allah because they don't read Allah's Quraan and are ignorant of The Revealed Knowledge. Their Ibadah is for their dirty nufs (fame, honor), and not for Allah. They don't respect and don't take care of their old parents. They are harsh to their wives and children. They consider women a lower-degree creature. They are selfish. They want peace for themselves, but shout at others and make a turmoil over triffle things. Whenever they celebrate something like eid, marriage, festival, milad, any party, they make a lot of noise, use loudspeakers and create haram problems for others. They are absolutely selfish and stubborn. They don't care if with their noisy celebration and noisy milad, they are creating haram nuisance for the old, sick, and others. They only want to follow their haram dirty desires. They are not human. They are not civilized. They are stone-hearted. They are beasts. Deaf and dumb, and blind of their bad end. They call themselves muslims of the last ummah. No, look at the "munkireen of Quran" of the last ummah. They love this garbage world, garbage wealth, garbage honor, garbage desires and garbage comfort, only for themselves and for their children, and not for others at all. They are jealous at others success, and feel very happy at their loss and humiliation. You can see these shirk-doers (biddut-e-hasanah-doers, munafiqoon) of the last ummah quarrel with one another and never come to Allah's Quraan (which is equal to coming to the Messenger) for the decision. They want the decision according to their own dirty nufs (desires). Even if they have to go to the court, they want the decision according to their will, that is why they approach the judges of the courts and try to bribe them. And if any judge does not follow their desires, they turn away from him and try to take their case to another judge. Such were the people of the last ummah (munafiqeen), who would turn away from the Messenger, only because the Messenger (SAW) never followed their dirty desires and follow Allah's Quraan for judging their matters. Same is the case even today. "And when it is said to them: “Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger (Muhammad),” you see the hypocrites turning away from you in aversion." (Al-Nisa-61)

So, even today, people of the last ummah who turn away from Allah's Quraan, because it is easy, clear and straight-forward and thus heavy on their dirty nufs (desires), and so they run for the man-made books of Islaam (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Sahih Al-Muslim) where they find loopholes for their sins, they in fact, and according to Allah's Quraan, turn away from the Messenger (SAW) in aversion. They want decisions, in this world, and in the Hereafter, according to their own dirty desires. And one of their dirty desires is the Sorcery theory of Shafa'ut (intercession) in Sahih Al-Bukhari. A decision, the shirk-doers and the munafiqoon like the most. "And when it is said to them: “Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger (Muhammad),” you see the hypocrites turning away from you in aversion." (Al-Nisa-61) So, finally, what we understood from the above Hadith of the Messenger in The Quran (Al-Nisa-61), is that, turning away from the Messenger, is turning away from Allah, and turning away from Allah's Quraan. Now you read your Allah's Quraan (The Real Hadith of the Messenger in The Sight of Allah) and see what you understand. So, simple!

Do we obey the Messenger (SAW)?
"The Messenger will say, "My Lord, my people have deserted this Quran." (AlFurqaan-30) This is an undeniable fact that today all the people of the last ummah (except 1,2 or 3) are obeying Bukhari and Muslim, thinking that they are obeying the Messenger (SAW) and they will win Shafa'ut of a truthful Prophet (S). Think, if following the fabricated books of ahadith, Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih AlMuslim, is obeying the Messenger (SAW), then why the Messenger (SAW) will sue against those munafiqeen of the last ummah, who from the core of their hearts are already following Bukahri and Muslim, on The Judgement Day in The Court of Allah. It is very much clear that the munafiqeen of the last ummah who have deserted Allah's Quraan (which is the only Hadith of the Messenger, (Al-Haqqah-40), are not obeying the Messenger (SAW) in spite of the fact that they are for sure following Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Al-Muslim, that is the reason that the Messenger (SAW) will complain against them before Allah: "The Messenger will say, "My Lord, my people have deserted this Quran." (AlFurqaan-30) So, this is an undeniable fact, that people of the last ummah who accept the ghairullah books, Bukhari and Muslim, as books of Islaam, they are the shirk-doers and Quraanrejectors. Their quraan is ghairullah books, Bukhari and Muslim, and not Allah's Quraan. The sinners have, after all, done a lot of struggle, and have brought their own quraans which were not there at the time of the Messenger (SAW).----Strange!----Really Strange! Even the Messenger (SAW) did not know that his ummah will make their own quraans

using his name, and desert happily Allah's Quraan that he brought. "And when Our Verses are recited to them as clear Evidence, those who hope not for their meeting with Us, say: “Bring a quran other than this (Quran), or make changes in this (Quran).” Say (O Muhammad): “It is not for me to change it on my own accord. I follow not but that which is revealed unto me. Indeed, I fear, if I were to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a Great Day.” (Younus:15) People in the time of the Messenger (S) could not stand Al-Quraan, and demanded to bring another quraan or make a change in Allah's Quraan according to their dirty desires (dirty nufs). The sinners of the last ummah forsook Allah's Quraan and found for themselves manmade quraans. And when they deserted Allah's Quraan, they were torn into sects as Punishment. Unauthorized man-made books of ahadith are fully responsible for the "haram and kafir sects" in the last ummah-----who were undeniably one ummah (Sahaba, and after Sahaba, one or two generations more) when they followed Allah's Quraan alone. These ghairullah books, Bukhari and Muslim, that replaced Allah's Quraan, are responsible for open shirk, biddut-e-hasanah, sorcery amaliaat to gain their wordly desires, and open kufr of Allah's Quraan. And these books are also responsible for the Wrath and Torment from Allah, in the shape of loadshedding, kafir and haram suicidal attacks in the name of Islaam, chaos, downfall of the ummah and American and western superiority. "And follow the best of what has been sent down to you from your Lord (Quran only), before there comes upon you the punishment suddenly, while you do not perceive."(Al-Zamur-55) But the ummah is not at all ready to return to Allah's Quraan. They are eating, drinking and getting their share from this ending life, and enjoying their good times forgetting The Hereafter. How delicious! Oh, somebody ask them! They will keep on accepting the ghairullah books, Bukhari and Muslim, as the books of Islaam-----and Allah's Wrath and Azaab will keep on falling upon them in the shape of western superiority, and the non-muslims of the world will keep on crushing them under their feet and humiliating them, and the ummah will remain as beggers at the doors of the non-muslims. "And follow the best of what has been sent down to you from your Lord (Quran only), before there comes upon you the punishment suddenly, while you do not perceive."(Al-Zamur-55) If following Bukhari and Muslim is following true Islaam, and the last ummah as such is following these books, then why Allah's Wrath and Azaab falling upon the last ummah in the shape of American victory and control over their lands?

Okay! Eat, drink and enjoy! How much out of Allah's unending Bounties will the people of the last ummah eat and drink? And for how long, will they be careless of Allah's Quraan?

For how long, will they be arrogant and stubborn? All their lives? Is The Judgement Day not near? Wait a little! Look at the watch. Moment by moment, the time is passing. The Judgement Day is drawing nearer and nearer. But, who cares? Man-made books of ahadith (Sorcery Shafa'ut) have made the last ummah, fearless of Allah, careless of their bad end, and stone-hearted. Isn't it so?---Isn't it so?---Deny, if you can! Today, the people of the last ummah disgust Allah's Quraan. They disgust The Judgement Day. They love the "Sorcery (Jadoo) Shafa'ut" in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Okay, all the mankind, all the angels, everyone---will see if the "Jadoo Shafa'ut (Sorcery Intercession)" in Bukhari works or fizzles out. See, on The Judgement Day, the poor state of the people of the last ummah, who reject Allah's Quraan, and believe in Sorcery (Jadoo) Shafa'ut. "Are these people waiting to see what this Book is telling them of (Al-Qiyamah)? On the day when (Al-Qiyamah) occurs, those who were forgetful thereof before (this Day) will say: “Indeed, the Messengers of our Lord did come with The Truth (and we were neglectful)). So are there any Shafee (intercessors) for us, so they might do Shafa'ut for us. Or could we be sent back, so that we might do (good) deeds other than those (evil) deeds which we used to do.” Indeed, they have lost their own selves, and has gone away from them that which they used to fabricate." (Al-Araaf-53) And------for the Quraan-rejectors of the last ummah, there is "No Shafa'ut"----"So no Shafa'ut (intercession) of any Shafee (intercessors) could help them. (And if it is so) Then what is (the matter) with them that from the Reminder (AlQuraan) they turn away." (Al-Mudassar-48,49) Don't worry! Just wait a moment. The time will pass by, and never let know, never let feel. The new-born baby will soon be old one day, and be into the earth to become earth. Oh, Stop the time! Please, Stop the time! Who can stop the time???!!! No one!!! But still the people of the last ummah are not ready to take the lesson. Still, they are not at all ready to return to Allah's Quraan. ---Is it not so?---Is it not so? Peep into your heart and find the answer. Only Allah knows what is in our hearts. The ummah is bukhari-followers, and not at all Quraan-followers. So, until The Judgement Day!------eat, drink, laugh, throw parties, and enjoy! Who cares of The Judgement Day! He has "Sorcery Shafa'ut" in his pocket.

Allah's Call
It is not ours, in fact it is Allah's Call to the people of the last ummah and mankind. Allah is calling, come to Al-Quraan (only), The Only Book of Hidayah, Rahmah and Good Tidings. "We have revealed this Blessed Reminder. Will you then reject it?" (Al Anbiyaa-50) Accept or reject. It is your own free will. What do people of the last ummah say??? Today, in fact, it is the people of the last ummah, who need most to have Imaan in Allah, Allah's Messenger (S) and The Messenger's Message (Al-Quraan). Allah says. "And indeed, it (the Quran) is A Reminder for the righteous." (Al-Haqqah-48) Allah's Quraan is for the righteous only. And, in the last ummah, righteous are those who fear Allah. They are for Allah's Quraan, and Allah's Quraan is for them. Special Thing (Al-Quraan), for special people only. And Allah says. "And indeed, We know that among you are those who deny. And indeed, it will be an anguish for the disbelievers." (Al-Haqqah-49,50) Those, in the last ummah, who do not fear Allah, are not righteous. They don't worship Allah. They worship their own dirty desires, because they live a life of their own dirty desires. Means, they don't live a life according to Allah's Will (AlQuran), they indeed, live a life according to their own will. Such are the people of the last ummah today. They behave badly with people around them (parents, wife and children, servants, other human-beings. They are arrogant and stubborn, and give themselves airs.). These are the typical people who run away from Allah's Quraan. They don't want to know Allah's Message that the Messenger (SAW) brought for them. Inspite of rejecting the Messenger's brought Message, they shamelessly claim that they love the Messenger (S) and that they will win his Shafa'ut on The Judgement Day. They are not for Al-Quraan, and Al-Quraan is not for them. And this, they also know. They are garbage. They are the shirk-doers of the last ummah. Allah will not spare. What do they think of themselves? They have more faith in unauthorized books of ahadith Bukhari and Muslim, than Allah's Quraan. And this is a fact. If someone invites them to Allah's Quraan, they become angry and shout "And ahadith?" Will faith in Bukhari and Muslim, work for them? No! Allah will not look at Bukhari and Muslim. Allah will question about His Quraan. "And indeed, this (Quran) is A Reminder for you (O Muhammad) and your people. And soon you (the last ummah) will be questioned." (Al-Zukhruf-44) Do people of the last ummah contemplate? Oh, they don't need to contemplate---because they have non-Quraanic "Sorcery Shafa'ut" in their pockets.

So, anyone who has this fabricated "Sorcery Shafa'ut (Intercession)" in his pocket, Quraan is a useless thing for him. With "Jadoo Shafa'ut", there is no Quraan. And with Al-Quraan, there can never be Shafa'ut. "And indeed, this (Quran) is A Reminder for you (O Muhammad) and your people. And soon you (the last ummah) will be questioned." (Al-Zukhruf-44) This question will shake them. Someone will weep, like he never wept before. Someone will rejoice, like he never rejoiced before. ===========================================

My momin brothers and sisters! Although it is not, but the hadith-followers of the last ummah have made these man-invented terminologies "Quran-o-Hadith" and "Quran-oSunnah", a very delicate religious matter. Absurd! "Allah's Words" is Allah's Quraan only. The Messenger's explanations of Al-Quraan, are the words of the Messenger, not the Words of Allah. Do you agree? Ask yourself. The Messenger (SAW) brought Allah's Words (Al-Quraan only). He didn't bring his own explanations of Al-Quraan. In The Sight of Allah, only Allah's Quraan is important which Allah Himself took in His Protection. Again, in The Sight of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Most Wise, Allah's own Quraan is the most important thing for the mankind, and not the Messenger's explanations of AlQuraan. That is why Allah took the most important thing Al-Quraan in His own Protection. So, Allah's Messenger brought the most important thing, Allah's Message and gave It to mankind and returned to Allah. Allah's Messenger (SAW) is no more with us, but Allah's Message that the Messenger (SAW) brought, is with us. If the explanations of Al-Quraan made by the Messenger (SAW) had been important in The Sight of Allah The Most Wise, then Allah would have taken those explanations (called ahadith) in His Protection, the way Allah took His Exalted Quraan in His own Protection. My brothers and sisters, Allah didn't, but the big ones of the last ummah themselves decided to make the "unsafe books of ahadith" the second source of Islaam. These books are full of contradictions, errors and fabrications, except a little portion. Think! Can "unsafe" books of ahadith become a source of "Safe" Islaam?---How can Islaam be "Safe", if its source (ahadith) is not in Allah's Protection? If unsafe is the source of Islaam, then Islaam itself is unsafe. Whereas this is not the case. All these facts about unauthorized books of ahadith make a common person of the last

ummah, perplexed. He is confused when told, the facts about man-made books of ahadith. The solution is only one. And that is, read Allah's Quraan yourself, you will understand every single Verse of Allah's Quraan. With Allah's Quraan, one is personally in contact with Allah and receives The Prescribed Guidance from Him, without any intermediaries (e,g, man-made books of ahadith, tafseer, shan-e-nuzool, big imams, ulama, shieks, teachers, etc.) To prove this fact that the ulama stop the people of the last ummah from Allah's Quraan, (the way ulama of the jews did), go and tell those ulama that you want to read Allah's Quraan with translation, and without any intermediaries (e,g, man-made books of ahadith, tafseer, shan-e-nuzool, big imams, ulama, shieks, teachers, etc.). Those ulama will pass a fatwa against you, that you are misled. My brothers and sisters, Allah's Quraan (The Simplest Book of Advice for mankind) was given to mankind through the Messenger (SAW) of Allah. Allah's Book is meant to create a direct relationship between Allah and man without any intermediaries. Allah doesn't like anyone between Allah and His slave. Allah Himself is The Teacher. He Himself makes his obedient slaves understand His Quraan. "The Beneficent. Has taught the Quran. He has created man. He has taught him speech." (Al-Rahman-1-4) So, my momin brothers and sisters, The Truth is, that no ahadith, no ulama, no human teacher is needed to understand Allah's Quraan because Allah Himself is The Teacher. All of these intermediaries (ahadith, ulama, tafseer, etc) are indeed to convey the tampered meanings of Allah's Verses to the ummah, according to their own sectarian concepts. It is a sad, strange and a bitter fact that different ulama of different sects, have different interpretations of Allah's Quraan. They are not even unanimous about the definition of the word "Islam". If you ask a communist about the definition of Communism, he will give you a definitive answer. You then ask many communists, their answers would be the same. Same will be the case with the followers of Socialism and Democracy. Each group of people will define their concepts in a unanimous sentence. There may be a difference of words, but not the concept. Now if you ask the definition of "Islam", "Muslim", "Deen", etc, from ulama of different sects, you will weep, because their answers would certainly be different from each other diametrically. That is why Allah is warning us to save ourselves from these intermediaries and take refuge in Allah. "Follow (O mankind) that which has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow besides Him (His Al-Quraan) any awliyah (ahadith, ulama, human

teacher, and their books which they write on the topics of Deen). Little it is you remember." (Al-Aaraaf-3) My brothers and sisters, no one of the last ummah, and the mankind, can ever, ever, understand Allah's Deen, until he reads Allah's Quraan, strictly without any intermediaries (ahadith, ulama, teachers, big-ones), who will take their followers, where they themselves are bound to go. Read Allah's Simplest, Easiest and Straight-forward Book of The Truth, Book of Advice, Book of Hidayah, then you will weep a lot, that why had you been away from your Creator and Sustainer's Book for so long. And also you will be astonished to know the facts given in Al-Quraan, that have been kept hidden from the last ummah for centuries, to keep them away from Allah's Quraan. A common person of the last ummah, is again perplexed, how will he understand The Quraan, without intermediaries (ahadith, ulama, teachers, shan-e-nuzool, etc.) This is all because people of the last ummah have been warned that if they read Al-Quraan themselves, they will be misled and go to hell. They are told that it is the group of ulama who will make them understand Quraan, because they have spent years and years to understand this most difficult Book on the earth. These ulama are following the ulama of the jews. They are lirs and sorcerers (jadoogers). And it is only and only the ulama of the last ummah who hide The Truth from the people of the last ummah and the mankind. "Indeed, those who conceal what We have sent down of clear proofs and the guidance, after what We had made it clear for the people in the Scripture. They are those cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse." (Al-Baqarah-159) So, these are the sectarian ulama of the last ummah. Read the above quoted Verse (which is also the Real Hadith of the Messenger) again and see what you understand. And then fear Allah because people of the last ummah trust in those liar ulama to learn Quraan, instead of trusting in Allah to learn His Quraan. What a strange thing! My brothers and sisters! Think, what is Imaan in Allah. Imaan in Allah is one's trust in Allah alone. For every matter of life, one must trust in Allah alone. And who does not trust in Allah, is not a momin, even if he is one from the last ummah. Not trusting in Allah alone, means to despair of the Mercy of Allah. "Certainly, no one despairs of the Mercy of Allah, except the disbelievers (kafiroon).” (Yousuf-87) A momin of Allah never despairs of the Mercy of Allah. He ties up his hopes with Allah alone. He trusts in Allah for every matter of his life. "Allah is our Maula (Protector). And momineen should trust in Allah." (Al-Tauba51) So, a person of the last ummah who does not trust in Allah, he is not a momin. This is Allah's Decision. Read the above quoted Verse again, and see if you understand it

differently. "And sufficient is your Lord as a Guardian.” (Bani-Isra'il-65) Keeping the above quoted Verses in mind, it is clear that Allah's momin is the one, who at all cost, trusts in Allah for every matter of his life. When Allah is sufficient for a momin, then why not Allah's Quraan alone is sufficient for him as the only Book of Hidayah? Remember, Allah never authorized in His Quraan, to understand His Quraan with the help of ahadith, ulama, teacher or tafseer. Allah has sent His Quraan for the mankind, so He has made His Quraan easy-tounderstand for the mankind. "And We have indeed made The Quran easy to understand. Then is there any who would take Advice." (Al-Qamar-17) So, a momin always trusts in Allah's Mercy. For him Allah is his Maula and for him Allah is sufficient as a Guardian. We read The Kalimah: There is no Ilaah, but Allah. And Ilah is The One whom we worship and who is our everything. So, our Imaan should be: There is no Ilaah, but Allah. There is no Sustainer, but Allah. There is no Giver, but Allah. There is no Maula, but Allah. There is no Wali and Wakeel, but Allah. There is no Hadi and Murshid, but Allah. There is no Protector and Shafee, but Allah. There is no Teacher for Al-Quraan, but Allah alone. There is no one who could be our everything, but Allah.---Only Allah alone, and no one else. This should be a momin's Aqeeda and Imaan. He should trust in his Allah that only He is his Teacher for Al-Quraan, and no one else. Indeed, if a person reads Allah's Quraan without any intermediaries, he is trusting in Allah as his Teacher. Who could be a teacher of Allah's Quraan better than Allah Himself? Who could explain Allah's Quraan, better than Allah Himself? Who could make Allah's Quraan understand better than Allah Himself? Is such a person wrong?---Say "Yes" or "No". Now if a person reads ahadith, tafseer or goes to any teacher to understand Allah's Quraan, it clearly means he does not trust in Allah to understand His Quraan. He does not have Imaan in Allah's Verse (Al-Qamar-17) that Allah's Quraan is easy---and he does not trust in Allah as his Teacher (Al-Rahman-1-4), he does not trust in Allah that for him Allah is sufficient as a Guardian (Bani-Isra'il-65). It clearly means that he despairs of the Mercy of Allah. Such a person has no trust in

Allah. Then where is his Imaan? Then in what or in whom, he puts his Imaan? Then in whom he trusts? "Certainly, no one despairs of the Mercy of Allah, except the disbelievers (kafiroon).” (Yousuf-87) A person of the last ummah who does not trust in Allah, has no Imaan in Allah. Loud and clear! Do we fear? Do we weep? Are we ready to think? My brothers and sisters! We read Allah's Quraan by The Grace of Allah, and without intermediaries, Alhamdolillah. This is our own understanding. We are not imposing our understanding on you. We read Allah's Quraan for ourselves, because without It, there is no salvation. Now, you read your Allah's Quraan for yourself, without intermediaries, and see what you understand. We are not impressed by any teacher, alim or big-ones. And we are not trying to impress others. And once again, brothers and sisters, if you read Allah's Quraan without intermediaries, you will understand Quraan the way Quraan should be understood, that is you will understand Pure Quran. And you know this fact. And if you read Allah's Quraan with the help of unauthorized man-made books of ahadith, you will understand Quraan differently, you will return with fabricated ahadith, not Quraan. This is for sure. And you very well understand this. If you read Allah's Quraan from a teacher, you will understand the teacher, not Allah's Quraan. Reading Allah's Quraan with a tafseer, you will understand the tafseer, not Allah's Quraan. Anything in between Allah's Quraan and Allah's slave, is not trusting in Allah and not accepting Allah as a Teacher, to understand His Quraan. And this is shirk. Open shirk. Such a person comes to Quraan, but loses It. Such a person is an open and arrogant rejector of Allah's Verse in which Allah says "Accept Me as your Teacher, because I teach you My Quraan." "The Beneficent. Has taught the Quran. He has created man. He has taught him speech." (Al-Rahman-1-4)

And think once again, Allah ordered us to obey the Messenger (SAW). What did the Messenger (SAW) do? He followed "The Message" that he brought. Now, you have to do what the Messenger did. So, you also follow The Message. This is obeying the Messenger (SAW), and this is obeying Allah. You, and your Allah's Quraan, no one should be in between. No intermediaries. Anything in between, is shirk.

========================================== One question asked by the Bukhari-followers is that "In Allah's Quraan the method of Salat is not described. How would you perform Salat without bukhari and muslim's ahadith?" Our answer to those genius people who ask this foolish question, "In Allah's Quraan the method of Salat is not described. How would you perform Salat without bukhari and muslim's ahadith?" Our question in answer to this question is, "Do the 1.4 million ahadith in man-made books of ahadith give us a complete and unified method of Salat?"---The answer is a Loud and Clear "No!" If a non-muslim asks this question from us, we would be ashamed of these compilations of 1.4 million ahadith, and we would hide our faces, because One Allah, One Quraan, One Islaam-----and many methods of Salat. Just see, many methods of Salat in man-made books of ahadith have already torn the ummah into pieces (sects). So, there must be only one unified method of Salat for the ummah. And again!--- Genius people who ignorantly ask such stupid question, tell us, how did, some ten to twelve generations, perform Salat before the compilation and publication of "Sahih" Al-Bukahri and "Sahih" Al-Muslim? Did they not perform Salat?-----Certainly, they did perform Salat, and better than us.--So, we and the people of the last ummah until Al-Qiyamah, would have been performing Salat the way those good people used to perform Salat who died before Bukhari and Muslim, and never knew the names of these unauthorized ghairullah books of ahadith.-----Lucky people! Weren't they? ========================================== Read the Hadith of the Messenger in Allah's Quraan, and contemplate. "Say (O Muhammad): “If I go astray, I shall stray only against myself, and if I am guided, so it is because of what my Lord has revealed to me. Indeed, He is Hearer, Near." (Saba-50) In the above quoted Hadith of the Messenger (Verse of Al-Quraan), Allah is clearly telling people not to follow any other book as the book of Hidayah. See, what our dearest Prophet (SAW) is saying about himself,---"and if I am guided, so it is because of what my Lord has revealed to me"--It means for the Prophet (SAW), Allah's Quraan alone was sufficient as The Book of Hidayah. And for the ummah??? So many books of Hidayah??? Is Allah's Quraan alone not sufficient for them, the way It was sufficient for the Messenger (SAW)? The bukhari-worshippers who shout that the "Quraan-alone-follower is a Kafir".

Okay!---If a "Quraan-alone-follower" is really misled, don't worry, he himself is going to face his end, and nothing of his, will fall upon you. But---remember, if the "Quraan-alone-follower" is guided, he is guided only because of following what Allah has revealed to the Messenger (SAW). "Say (O Muhammad): “If I go astray, I shall stray only against myself, and if I am guided, so it is because of what my Lord has revealed to me. Indeed, He is Hearer, Near." (Saba-50) ========================================== My momin brothers and sisters!---Just think once again. It is an undeniable fact that Bukhari and Muslim are not authorized books of Islaam. Allah never authorized these books which were compiled more than 220 years after the death of the Messenger (SAW). Allah's Islaam is an authorized Deen. And Allah's Quraan is The Authorized Book of Islaam. Allah's Islaam is Authorized by Allah. Allah's Quran is Authorized by Allah. Authorized Quraan is The Only Source of Authorized Islaam. Can "Unauthorized" Bukhari and Muslim, become The Source of "Authorized" Islaam"??? And if so, then, will Islaam be an Authorized Deen, whose sources are "Unauthorized" books??? ========================================== Then what are Bukhari and Muslim? These are books of history, like other books of history, full of lies, fabrications and sorcery. A very little portion is true sayings of the Messenger (SAW), because they can be proved to be true on The Authorized Book, Al-Quraan. Take them out and compile a new book, according to Al-Quraan. Although they are also not a part of The Only Book of Hidayah, and as such not needed. Because Allah never ordered His Messenger to compile his own explanations of Quraan, and never took those explanations of Quraan in His Protection. Only Allah's Quraan is in Allah's Protection. Think, if you wish, or leave for those who think. ========================================== Your comments are most welcome! Hope you will, if you comment, show great scholarship, and not just pass false fatawah.

Does Islam Need Hadith to "Explain" Qur'an?


I believe part of the reason there is so much hatred in the world today towards Muslims and Islam, is because so many Muslims follow the conjecture that is Hadith and ridiculous so-called Shariah "laws" that have absolutely no basis in Islam (e.g., stoning) This is what makes so many think that Islam is a terroristic religion and not a religion of peace. NOWHERE in the Qur'an is stoning advocated or even mentioned, yet certain Muslims insist on dolling out this sadistic form of punishment that is taken from Hadith. I just don't understand why anyone would rather follow the teachings of men over the words and teaching of God. The argument that we need Hadith to explain Qur'an doesn't fly with me, especially when God states in Qur'an:

"We sent down to you THIS BOOK truthfully, confirming all previous scriptures, and superseding them. You shall judge among them according to what is sent down from God (this book), and do not follow their wishes if they deviate from the truth.... You shall judge among them according to what is send down from God (this book); do not follow their wishes, and BEWARE lest they divert you from that which is sent down to you from God (this book).... Would they seek the laws of ignorance? WHO IS BETTER THAN GOD as a lawmaker, for those who sincerely believe?" (Quran 5:48-50)

"They almost diverted you (O Muhammad) from our revelations to you; they wanted you to fabricate something else to consider you a friend. If it were not that we strengthened you, you almost leaned towards them a little bit. Had you done it, we would have doubled the punishment for you in this life, and after death; no one could have protected you against us." (17:73-75)

"When our verses are recited for them, those who do not expect to meet us would say, 'Bring a Quran other than this, or change it.' Say (O Muhammad), 'I cannot change it on my own initiative. I simply follow what is revealed to me. I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the retribution of a terrible day.' ...Who is more wicked than one who invents lies about God, or rejects His revelations? The guilty never succeed. Yet, they idolize beside God those who possess no power to harm them or benefit them, and say, 'These are our intercessors with God.' ...such is idolworship." (10:15-18)

"When you read the Quran, we place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier. And we place shields on their hearts, to prevent them from understanding Quran, and deafness in their ears. Consequently, when you preach your Lord IN THE QURAN ALONE they run away in aversion." (17:45-46)

"We did not leave anything out of this book, then all will be gathered before their Lord (for judgment). Those who do not believe our verses are deaf and dumb; in total darkness. God sends astray whomever He wills, and directs whomever He wills in the right path." (6:38-39)

"Shall I seek OTHER THAN GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED? ....The word of your Lord is COMPLETE, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words; He is the hearer, the omniscient. Yet, if you obey the majority of people, they will take you away from the path of God. That is because they follow CONJECTURE, and they fail to think." (6:114-116)

"They insist upon following conjecture, when the guidance is given to them herein from their Lord." (53:23)

"You (Muhammad) cannot guide even the ones you love. God is the one who guides whomever He wills, for He knows best those who deserve the guidance." (28:56)

...and last but not least:

"(On the day of judgment) the messenger will say, 'My Lord; my people have deserted THIS QURAN.' We thus set up against every prophet enemies from among the guilty. Your LORD SUFFICES AS A GUIDE AND SUPPORTER." (25:30-31)

I don't know how much more clear it can get. =)

Some people say that without Hadith Muslims wouldn't know how to pray.

Abraham, peace be upon him, was taught the salat.

"You shall strive in the cause of God as you should. He has blessed you, and imposed no hardship in your religion; the RELIGION OF YOUR FATHER ABRAHAM, Abraham is the one who named you "Muslims" in the beginning. Thus, the messenger serves as witness among you, just as you serve as a witness among the people. Therefore, you shall observe the Salat prayers, give the Zakat charity, and hold fast to God; He is your Lord; the best Lord, and the best supporter." (22:78)

"Abraham was neither Jewish , nor Christian; he was a monotheist; a Muslim; he never was an idol-worshiper. The people most worthy of following Abraham are those who follow him and this prophet (Muhammad), and those who believed. God is the Lord of the believers." (3:67-68)

"Then we inspired you (O Muhammad) to follow the religion of Abraham, monotheism; never was he an idol-worshiper." (16:123)

"As Abraham raised the foundation of Ka'ba, together with Ismail, they prayed, 'Our Lord, accept this work from us; You are the Hearer, the Omniscient. Our Lord, and make us Muslims (Submitters) to You and from our descendants let there be a nation of Muslims (Submitters) to you; AND TEACH US HOW TO PRACTICE OUR RELIGIOUS DUTIES, and redeem us; You are the Redeemer, the Merciful'" (2:127-128)

Read what God says here:

"Your Lord knows that you meditate during two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or one-third of it, and so do some of those who believed with you. GOD has designed the night and the day, and He knows that you cannot always do this. He has pardoned you. Instead, you shall read what you can of the Quran. He knows that some of you may be ill, others may be traveling in pursuit of GOD's provisions, and others may be striving in the cause of GOD. You shall read what you can of it, and observe the contact prayers (Salat), give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and lend GOD a loan of righteousness. Whatever good you send ahead on behalf of your souls, you will find it at GOD far better and generously rewarded. And implore GOD for forgiveness. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful." (73:20)

Does it make sense that God would issue a commandment to observe something that was not already known?

How would Muslims know the actions involved in salat, as instructions are not given in the Quran?
Because it was already give to Abraham, pbuh.

"And we granted him (Abraham) Isaac and Jacob as a gift, and we made them righteous. And we appointed them Imams who guide in accordance with our commandments. AND WE TAUGHT THEM RIGHTEOUS WORKS AND THE OBSERVANCE OF SALAT AND ZAKAT." (21:72-73)

"O Mary (Mariam), you shall obey your Lord, and shall prostrate and bow down with those who bow down." (3:43)

"(Jesus said) God has made me blessed wherever I go, and He commanded me to observe the SALAT PRAYERS and ZAKAT charity for as long as I live." (19:31)

Salat was already established by the time of Muhammad, pbuh.

FASTING CAME TO US VIA ABRAHAM: then modified in the Quran.

"You are permitted to have sexual intercourse with your wives during the night of fasting; they are your confidantes, and you are their confidantes. God knew that you used to betray your souls in the past. He has redeemed you, and He has pardoned you. Henceforth, you may have intercourse with them, seeking what God has permitted for you." (part of 2:187)

"O you who believe, fasting is decreed for you, AS IT WAS DECREED for those before you, that you may attain salvation." (2:183)

HAJJ (Pilgrimage) : came to us VIA ABRAHAM: Please note that the same verse also mentions the SALAT prayers bowing down and prostrating.

"We pointed out to Abraham the location of the shrine, and directed him to worship NONE beside Me, and to purify My shrine for those who would visit it, those who would retreat therein, and those who would BOW DOWN AND PROSTRATE. And you shall declare (O Abraham) that the people shall observe HAJJ. They will then come to you , walking or riding, from the farthest places." (22:26-27)

In early prayer books of Samaritan Jews, one can see their prayers are very similar to the way Muslims pray. There are similarities in the Russian Orthodox Church, as well.

Some verses from the Bible on prayer:

"They shall wash their hands and their feet..."(Exodus 30:21)

"Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him..."(Genesis 17:3)

"Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces." (Numbers 20:6)

"Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD..." (Joshua 7:6).

"David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground..."( 1 Samuel 20: 41)

"And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped..." (Joshua 5:14)

"When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth before the LORD."(Genesis 24:52)

"O come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!" (Psalm 95:6)

Fifteen Great Reasons We Should Embrace and Follow the Quran-only Islam by Abdur Rab


Written by Arnold Yasin Mol   
Tuesday, 21 July 2009 17:29
Islam that we should follow is the one guided strictly by the Quran’s tenets. The Hadith, the alleged second source of Islam, is unacceptable as religious guidance as it has given rise to spurious, untenable and ludicrous ideas that have corrupted practiced Islam (See: Chapters 10 and 11 of the author’s recently published book Exploring Islam in a New Light: An Understanding from the Quranic Perspective). The Quran-only Islam seeks to replace the most widely held notions of Islam that have led to sectarian divisions among Muslims, and given rise to the violence, strife, inequality and fanaticism seen so often in western portrayals of Islam. The Hadith believers think that the Quran is not sufficient or easy for us as guidance. The Quran, however, is emphatic on the points that it is detailed and self-explained (6:114; 12:111; 16:89), and straightforward, clear and sufficiently easy to follow (39:28; 43:2; 44:2, 58; 54:17, 22, 32, 40). There are at least fifteen great reasons why one should embrace and follow this Quran-only Islam:
1.The Quran provides to date the most reliable comprehensive religious guidance to humankind:

Confirming and upholding earlier divine messages, the Quran embodies the latest genuine and most comprehensive divine guidance to humankind. It is the latest divinely inspired book in Arabic, which is empirically found to remain intact in its original version, unaltered and undiluted since its compilation by the Prophet Muhammad’s trustworthy companions. The Quran excels in eloquence as well as in profundity, universal appeal, logical coherence and scientific orientation of its message. (For more illumination, see Chapter 1 of my book Exploring Islam in a New Light: An Understanding from the Quranic Perspective.)
2. The Quran gives not a new religion but the purest of all monotheistic religions.
The roots of Islam are traceable to earlier monotheistic religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism and Vedic Hinduism. However, the pure monotheism that the Quran reestablishes has unfortunately been lost or diluted in earlier religions (e.g., the Trinity introduced in Christianity and polytheism and idolatry in Hinduism). The Quran corrects the errors that crept into earlier religious books and their associated religions, and at the same time upholds the original religions brought by the Prophets Abraham, Moses, Jesus and others. All earlier prophets of God are respected prophets of Islam, who are excellent examples to emulate for all Muslims. Our Prophet Muhammad was specifically urged to follow Abraham as an excellent example and follow his religion (60:4-6; 3:95; 2:135; 4:125; 16:123).
3. This religion is spiritual. The Quran calls for a religious practice that is essentially and fundamentally spiritual in nature.
The Quran urges humankind to embark on a journey of spiritual evolution, as distinguished from material wellbeing, for self-purification and to attain spiritual wisdom to lead an enriched, progressive and blissful life. For this it prescribes religious practices such as prayer and noble and humanitarian deeds along with strict moral and ethical uprightness. The Quran inspires us to envision and build a human society where peace, security, justice and compassion and an environment conducive to the uplifting of all humankind prevail.
4. This religion is humane. The Quran emphasizes mercy, compassion and service to humanity.
God wants us to be as good and kind to others as we are to ourselves (2:267). God wants us to save a man rather than kill him, and saving a man is like saving the whole of humankind (5:32). In accordance with this spirit, we need to serve humanity to save them from any danger and disadvantage—from death, disease, injury, deprivation, ignorance, misery, poverty and hunger. To be good and generous to fellow human beings, especially to those who are poor and disadvantaged, is a great virtue in the sight of God (90:12–18; 2:261, 265; 70:24–25). Serving God amounts to serving humanity in the same way as God serves them through His agents.
5. This Islam advocates social egalitarianism.
Though it sanctifies private ownership and enterprise, the Quran has a strong socialistic overtone. It urges the more wealthy sections of people in society to share their wealth and income with their poor and disadvantaged fellow beings (2:177; 76:8-9; 92:20-21; 107:1-7; etc.). The Quran states there is no piety without giving (92:18; 9:103; 3:92; 107:1–7). (For more illumination on this, see the discussion on spending in God’s Way in the author’s above-cited book.)
6. This religion advocates application of a rational approach to religion.
Typical of all practiced religions, practiced Islam is found to often distract from what are dictated by scientific knowledge and reason. The Quran, on the other hand, rather encourages us to apply reason and a scientific approach to faith. It encourages us to look throughout the universe and see how things happen:
Say (O Muhammad): Travel through the earth, and see how God hath brought forth all creation (29:20).
 Creation or change points to causal relation. The Quranic religion is one that makes man conscious of how he can change both his lot and the lot of his society. The Quran makes it amply clear that He does not change the condition of man unless he himself takes the initiative and changes it:
Verily God changeth not the condition of a people until they themselves change their own condition (13:11).
Other statements in the Quran such as that one’s reward is proportionate to one’s work, that none shoulders the burden of others, that the universe with its planetary system follows a perfect logical order underscore Islam’s rational foundation. It is only with sincere effort that man can achieve progress and success. God does not do anything on His own to reward or punish man or any creature.
7. This religion has no room for religious fanaticism or “fundamentalism”.
The Quran does not encourage a fatalistic belief in God. He has given us free will to choose between good and evil (13:11; 18:29; 76:3; 91:7–10). We are rewarded or punished according to what wedo (2: 286; 20:15; 28:84; 53:31, 39; 42:30; 6:132; 46:19; 17:19; 5:35; etc.). There should be no such thing as predestination by God or fatalism, i.e., the belief that God preordains all events. The fatalistic idea espoused by the Hadith is that God knows in advance all events, He predetermines all events, and He wills all events and, therefore, all events take place in accordance with what God knew, planned and willed. But if this idea is true, the Quranic verse that “Man hath only that for which he maketh effort” (20:15; 53:39) cannot have any meaning. For, if God decides beforehand what man will do, He cannot legitimately make him responsible for anything he does and the whole system of rewarding for good work and punishing for bad work completely breaks down, there remaining no role for religion to play for man. Fatalism or fatalistic attitude belies God’s Laws or the logical system. Fatalism or blind dependence on God, which negates the relevance of man’s own efforts is, therefore, not only a real obstacle for one’s spiritual progress, but a great impediment to overall human progress, and should therefore be shunned.
At the same time we need to note that belief in God’s Laws or the logical system also implies that we need to be mentally ready to accept, and readily accept what cannot be escaped or avoided. This is what really means accepting the given set of facts or factors, that have already been predetermined by factors, and which man must live with. The given set of predetermined facts or factors is so to say God-given or God-willed. One needs to believe in this kind of taqdir or predetermined fate or destiny, and this is not fatalism or predestination.

This Islam also rejects many other fanatic beliefs held by Muslims that are encouraged mostly by the Hadith literature (e.g., reciting Quranic verses without understanding is a virtue (thawab) or reciting such and such verses of the Quran gives such and such virtues).

8. This “Quran-only” Islam rejects sects and madhabs.
When Islam came - during the Prophet’s lifetime, there was only one Muslim group. Muslims later became divided into sects such as Shiites, Sunnis and Kharijites (who were distinct from Shiites and Sunnis), and Sunnis in turn formed four madhabs (schools of thought) – Shafi, Hanafi, Maliki and Hanbali. Subsequently, there emerged another much conservative Sunni group called Wahhabis. Such divisions among Muslims are unacceptable under the “Quran-only” Islam (3:103, 105; 6:159). The Quran urges Muslims to remain steadfast and united on the path of God (3:103, 105). The Quran states:

Verily thou (O Muhammad) hast no concern with those who have  
divided their religion and became sects. Their affair is only with
God Who will inform them of what they did. (6:159)


9. This Islam guarantees human freedom – freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
The Quran explicitly allows free human will (13:11; 18:29; 76:3; 91:7–10), which is really the basic foundation of religion, since without free will human beings could not be made accountable for their deeds. It allows freedom to choose between religions, which is implicit in the very statement that there must not be any coercion in religion (2:256). The Prophet was asked to not force anyone to his religion (10:99). Also the statement “To you your religion, to me my religion” (109:6) signifies full religious freedom and tolerance. The Prophet was asked to not revile others’ gods lest others wrongfully revile God through ignorance (6:108). Also the statement “Bear with what they say, and part from them in a nice manner” (73:10) guarantees freedom and tolerance of speech.
10. This Islam is truly a religion of peace and tolerance.
The “Quran-only” Islam is peaceful by definition. The expression “Islam” is derived from “salama”, which means “peace”. It also means submission (to God or godly values). The Quran supports only defensive wars. It strongly condemns aggressive wars and persecution and torture, and asks believers to cease hostility, if the enemy inclines to peace (2:190-193; 4:90; 8:61-62).
Fight in the way of God against those who fight against you, but initiate
not aggression. Verily God loveth not aggressors. And slay them

wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places wherefrom they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight
not with them at the Sacred Mosque until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there), then slay them. Such is the reward of
disbelievers. But if they desist, then verily God is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them until there is no more persecution, and religion
is for God. But if they desist, let there be no hostility except against the wrongdoers.” (2:190–193)

The Quranic religion is a most tolerant religion, a misunderstood faith because of the influence from the widely revered Hadith literature that has perpetuated the harsh, extremist version of Islam. By historical standards also, notwithstanding the fact that Muslims often deviated from the Quran-dictated path, “Islam has a long record of tolerance” according to noted scholar on comparative religion John Esposito. The Quran strongly condemns the intolerance, violence and terrorism that are currently being orchestrated by Muslim extremists in various parts of the world. In the Quran, God has clearly and strongly warned humankind against any act of wrongdoing, murder, corruption or mischief in the land (5:32; 7:56, 74; 13:25; 26:151–152, 183; 27:48–49; 47:22–23).

Another aspect of tolerance espoused by the Quran is a forgiving attitude believers are urged to exhibit towards those who commit excesses. It recommends forgiveness in place of retaliation to the extent possible without encouraging persistence of injustice in society.
(For more on tolerance, the reader may visit the free-minds.org website link: http://www.free-minds.org/tolerance, or read the relevant section in Chapter VI of the author's book Exploring Islam in a New Light, or Edip Yuksel's artilce "Violence and Peace" in Quran: A Reformist Translation, republished in just published Critical Thinkers for Islamic Reform.)
11. This Islam is for human dignity and equality, and respectful of genuine human rights.
The Quran has full respect for human dignity and advocates equal treatment of all human beings irrespective of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other similar status. All men and women are equal in the eyes of God; only virtuousness determines who is nearer to Him (3:195; 4:124; 16:97; 33:35). The best in God’s sight is one who is best in righteous conduct (49:13). All the children of Adam—all men and women—deserve the same dignity:

And verily We have bestowed honor on the children of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them special favors, above a great part of Our creation (17:70).
There is no room for racial discrimination in this Islam. Likewise, even though women are treated as inferior to men in traditional Islam, the Quran does not approve of such discrimination. Nor is there any rationale for discrimination on the basis of any religion in name (2:62; 5:69). For that matter, no other reason, e.g., wealth or property, strength in manpower, or status or power in society, is of any value to God (9:55, 69; 10:58, 88–89; 28:76–81; 30:39; 34:37; 43:32–35; 111:2).
The Quran guarantees private initiative and enterprise, and the right to private ownership of property(2:188). It puts a very high premium on human life, which implies a very high regard for an individual(5:32). It requires us to stand and fight for human rights and against human oppression (4:75). It forbids us to deprive others of their legitimate rights:
And wrong not men of their things (or rights), and act not corruptly in the earth, making mischief (26:183).
Thus human rights abuses that are being committed from time to time by governments or ethnic groups are things that deserve strong condemnation from Islam.

12. This Islam rejects misogyny.
The Hadith-dominated traditional Islam treats women as inferior to men. The degrading way in which women are being treated in Muslim societies has been a major stumbling block not only to their development but also to overall development of Muslim countries. It is ironic that Muslim fundamentalists or puritans display a particularly demeaning attitude toward women, treating them “as a constant source of danger, and vulnerability for Islam,” and going “as far as branding women as the main source of corruption and evil” (Khaled Abou El Fadl). The Quran rejects this misogynistic treatment of women. The ideal vision of relationship between husband and wife that the Quran depicts is that of mutual love and respect, mutual comfort, kindness and support, and equality and complementarity (30:21; 4:19; 7:189; 25:74; 2:228). The Quran grants women rights over men similar to those of men over women (2:228). Virtuous persons see their spouses and children as comfort for them (25:74). The Quran, of course, grants some edge to men over women, but that is because of the sociological situation where men share a greater financial responsibility than women. If, however, financial responsibility is shared equally by them, men and women should be treated equally as well in matters of inheritance, for example, where discrimination between men and women is being maintained. (For a fuller discussion of these and other relevant points, the reader is referred to Chapter 8 of my book Exploring Islam in a New Light.)
13. This Islam strongly advocates doing justice to all, even to enemies.
The Quran strongly exhorts us to uphold the cause of justice, if necessary by testifying against ourselves, parents and relatives (4:135), and not to let the hatred (by implication, enmity or injustice) of others make us commit any injustice or stray from doing justice (5: 8), which implies ensuring justice to all without parochial or partisan considerations, or regardless of religious or ethnic affiliations. The Quran urges us to not bribe judges to immorally grab others’ property, or to distort justice (2:188). God urges us to give right measure and not to deprive others of their rights. He urges us to maintain proper criminal justice in society – to punish people proportionately to their crimes, and where appropriate to forgive them without jeopardizing the cause of justice.

14. This Islam rejects sharia-prescribed harsh (hudud) punishments.
This Islam rejects the cruel shariah-prescribed punishments such as the punishment by death for apostates, the punishment by stoning to death for adulterers and adulteresses; cutting limbs of thieves; etc. It is the Hadith, not the Quran that prescribes the first two punishments. The cutting of limbs is an extreme or exemplary form of punishments for thieves, and that needs to be understood in a historical context. When society moves toward a more civilized way of life, the need for harsher punishments fades away. From that standpoint, limb cutting is a crude form of punishment that can be avoided without encouraging the crime. Some Muslim scholars think, the relevant word is not limb-cutting but limb-marking so that the culprits are well marked and humiliated in society (See Quran: A Reformist Translation by Edip Yuksel et. al.)
15. This Islam categorically condemns slavery and slavery-like practices.
This Islam is unequivocally against slavery and slavery-like practices, and human domination of one group over another group, and chauvinism and imperialism. Slavery is a most dehumanizing institution. A good Muslim will never enslave a person, but will rather free him or her, or keep him or her as an equal member of his family. Social egalitarianism is a major hallmark of Islam. This is the only way we evolve and elevate all men and help develop their latent talents and bring about all round progress in society. Ironically, slavery and slavery-like practices have long continued in Muslim societies, much longer than in Western societies (For example, the British government abolished slavery long ago.) because of ambiguous influence from the Hadith literature. The Hadith recommends emancipation from slavery, and at the same time permits it.
