[quote]From the Holy Prophet (pbuh) the entire religion was disseminated to the Muslims by way of the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
The Qur’an and the Sunnah hold a pivotal place as the source of understanding of religion. The Sunnah and the Qur’an do not abrogate each other. They cannot be overruled by Hadith. Both these sources contain the entire religion.

Allah sent Divine Guidance to messengers and prophets through Holy scriptures. These Holy Scriptures were meant to be a scale (Mizan) between good and evil. They are also meant to be the means by which people solve and sort their mutual differences and are  able to deal with everyday matters in just and fair manner.
 
The Qur’an is defined as  the balance (Mizan) in whose scales everything must be weighed in order to ascertain the extent of truth found within that entity, and it is the criterion (Furqan) which like a sieve sifts out good from evil.

It is God who has sent down the Book in truth that is the Mizan…….. (42:17)

Blessed is He Who sent down the Furqan to His servant that it may be an admonition to the people of the world. (25:1)

The Qur’an is the Final Testament of the Almighty revealed to mankind.  It is the Only Divine Book which is today found in its original language and form, preserved word for word. As such it is the  guardian over all previous Divine Books.

brother  please read these again. The entire religion is between the Qur'an and Sunnah. The position of teh Qur'an remains unchallenged .It is the scale or balance in which everything must be gaged.

Currently we have two extreme views about hadith. one group totally rejects hadith. the other group considers hadith to be a source of religion.

As I see it. If someone feels comfortable with teh Qur'an and sunnah I have no problem. If someone reads hadith PROVIDED they accept that hadith is not a source of islam and cannot contradict the Qur'an I have no problem.

I quote Amin Ahsen Islahi. he stated that if he read a hadith and it was against the techings of teh Qur'an he would have no hesitation in rejecting it.

As far as your mention of some hadith that are derrogatory about prophet Mohammad pbuh, any Muslim does not need a scholar to tell him that they are unacceptable.

As I see it hadith are like the Bible. we accept that Bible is not in its true shape and we accept that alterations have been made, but still it also contains history, shariah, life history of prophets and wisdom, look at teh sermon of Mount by Hazrat Eissa.pbuh.

Brother, If someone feels he/she dos not read hadith and the Qur'an and sunnah are enough, AlhamdoLlilah.If someone reads hadith at its proper place and with discretion, AlahamdoLillah. SO long as they do not extract religious regulations and try to use a hadith as a source of religion.

I feel it is essential to define and ascertain the proper place for hadith and leave people to amke their own assessments. Hand on heart is every hadith derrogatory towards prophet Mohammad pbuh. Let us be open minded.[/quote]
