[quote]This is for Zulfee and his sidekicks like sksamshirali: 
Holy Prophet (sws) has the authority to legislate in his capacity as the Messenger 
of Allah. The fact that we do have the Holy Qur’an with us does not place any 
limits on the Holy Prophet’s authority to legislate. The authority of the Holy 
Prophet (sws) to legislate is independent of the laws contained in the Holy Qur’an, 
except that [b]all his law making is based on the authority given to him in the Holy 
Qur’an[/b] and is confined to such limits. It would be a [b]blasphemy to think that he 
could not institute any religious teachings[/b] in his capacity [b]as the Messenger of 
Allah[/b]. However all such instructions of the Holy Prophet (sws) that add to the 
content of the Deen as contained in the Holy Qur’an, must come down to us 
through Tawatur and Ijma (consensus) of the Companions of the Holy Prophet 
(sws). (And they [b]have[/b] come down to us through Tawatur*)

*When we say that the Sunnah has reached us through Tawatur, we mean to say that so many people in every generation conveyed it to the next and so on though their practical 
adherence to it that there can be no doubt about its authenticity.[/quote]
