[quote]Salam Nida_e_Khair,

Quote:- 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 all his law making is based on the authority given to him in the Holy Qur’an and is confined to such limits. It would be a blasphemy to think that he could not institute any religious teachings in his capacity as the Messenger of Allah.

Reply:- [b]Don’t shout immaturely by saying that ‘ the Holy prophet had the authority to legislate religious law’. Do you have any proof? If yes, then please show me from the quran. [/b] 
As we can see from 6:114, we are told that God is the ONLY source of law, and as we can see in 66:1 God reprimands the prophet for once prohibiting something that was NOT prohibited by God, which tells us very clearly that the prophet does not have the authority to prohibit or legislate except what is prohibited or legislated by God. Also in numerous verses of the Qur’an say that duty of messenger was to deliver the message i.e. Qur’an without any alteration or deletion.

"And obey God and obey the messenger and be cautious; but if you turn back, then know that the SOLE DUTY of the messenger is the deliverance (of the message)" 5:92

"And obey God and obey the messenger, but if you turn back, then upon Our messenger is the SOLE DUTY of the clear delivery (of the message)"  64:12

Now, if we look at these Ayaat, we notice that God has clearly pointed out the ONLY duty of the Messenger, i.e. that he must DELIVER the message (Quran).

After considering all the points it must be said that the prophet will advocate his people to do righteous acts, enjoins them from evil and prohibits them from bad things, all in accordance to what is given to him in the Quran by God, and nothing else.

God did not come down to communicate with the people in person, did He? God gave the Quran to Muhammad .... and the Quran came out of Muhammad's mouth, so Muhammad is commanded by God to do the above in accordance to the law given in the Quran and not in accordance to Muhammad's own whims.

This is my understandings. Either you can accept it or not.

Quote:-  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.

Reply:- Majority people always follow conjecture according to Qur’an. So what majority people do, should not be your concern. You should concern about what Qur’an says and Qur’an says we should not seek any other source as our religious source besides IT. Tawatur is not the criteria. The only Criteria (Furqan) is the Nobel Qur’an and noting else.

[6:116]   If you obey the majority of people on earth, they will divert you from the path of GOD. They follow only conjecture; they only guess.

[12:103]   Most people, no matter what you do, will not believe.

[12:106]   The majority of those who believe in GOD do not do so without committing idol worship.

[19:73]   When our revelations are recited to them, clearly, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of us is more prosperous? Which of us is in the majority?"

[25:1]   Most blessed is the One who revealed the Statute Book(Furqan) to His servant, so he can serve as a warner to the whole world.

Now please see the followings;

"When you observe your Salat prayers, your voice shall not be too loud, nor too low; you shall maintain an intermediate tone." (17:110)

Despite these straightforward instructions from God, the "Muslim" masses were diverted by Hadith; they maintain total silence during the noon prayer, the afternoon prayer, the third unit of the sunset prayer, and the second half of the night prayer. WHERE DID THEY GET THESE INSTRUCTIONS? From another god beside God; from other sources beside Quran i.e Twatur….. Do you see to what extent your cherished twatur is right?

(42:21)   They follow idols who decree for them religious laws never authorized by GOD. If it were not for the predetermined decision, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, the transgressors have incurred a painful retribution.

"When God ALONE is advocated, the hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter shrink with aversion. But when IDOLS are mentioned besides Him, they rejoice "(39:45).
