[quote]Salam,

Quote:- Ok I agree with your interpreteation of 2:62.

I still do not understand how you can call someone kafir one who believes in God, but believes in hadith out of ignorance or lack of knowledge. Such a person is not intentionally doing shirk, he thinks the hadiths are accurate narrations.

Personally I am very suspicious of hadith, but I still dont see how someone is a kafir for believing them in error.

REPLY :- Did you not read my earlier reply dated October 23, 2006? I am once again sending herewith as follows;

[red]“Any one who follows hadith or anything else as his/her RELIGIOUS SOURCE BESIDES Qur’an, he/she is IDOLWORSHIPPER”.[/red]

This is an excuse to say that “…..person believes in hadith out of ignorance or lack of knowledge or ……..person is not intentionally doing shirk, he thinks the hadiths are accurate narrations…etc…etc.

[u]We are told that we should not accept any other source as source of Law besides Qur’an(6:114)[/u]

Almighty God also says that Qur’an is easy to understand

”We have made it (the Quran) easy to understand and in your own tongue (language) may you take heed.” 44:58

No one will be thrown into hell for not knowing that the number of heavens is seven as in (Sura 2, verse 29), or for not knowing that God supported Moses with nine miracles as in (Sura 17, verse 101), or that the tribe of Saleh was called Thamoud as in (Sura 11, verse 61). [b]ON THE OTHER HAND, WE WILL ALL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IF WE SHOULD GIVE FALSE TESTIMONY, DECEIVE ORPHANS OF THEIR MONEY OR ASSOCIATE ANY NAME WITH THE NAME OF GOD.[/b]

[u]The Quran was not only revealed for the intellectuals or the scholars, but also for the unlearned and simple folk who may not be as clever. For that specific reason, and because God is the Most Fair, He deliberately made sure that  law giving verses in particular, and by which we will be held accountable to, are very clear and straightforward. [/u]

Moreover, it is because God's justice and fairness that the law giving verses are made very clear and starightforward. Thus no injustices will be inflicted on anyone. This is made quite clear in the Quran in numerous verses such as :

“God does not inflict an atom’s weight of injustice.” 4:40

An example of the law giving verses that are quite straightforward is the verse that specifies the steps of ablution:

“O you who believe, when you observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), you shall wash your faces, wash your arms to the elbows, wipe your heads and wash your feet to the ankles.” 5:6

This simple order from God is put in such simple and direct words that it can hardly be expressed in simpler or more direct words.

Another example;- Qur’an says that  we should offer our Salat in maintaining Moderate Tone(audible tone).17:110. Now if any one claims that he/she does not know what does mean to say audible tone and thus he/she follows hadith….to understand the commandments of this verse, then it will be an excuse for him/her and no excuse will be granted on the day of judgement.

[6:22]   On the day when we summon them all, we will ask the idol worshipers, "WHERE ARE THE IDOLS YOU SET UP?"

[6:23]   Their disastrous response will be, "BY GOD OUR LORD, WE NEVER WERE IDOL WORSHIPERS."

[6:24]   NOTE HOW THEY LIED TO THEMSELVES, and how the idols they had invented have abandoned them.

[6:25]   SOME OF THEM LISTEN TO YOU, BUT WE PLACE VEILS ON THEIR HEARTS TO PREVENT THEM FROM UNDERSTANDING, AND DEAFNESS IN THEIR EARS. THUS, NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF PROOF THEY SEE, THEY CANNOT BELIEVE. Thus, when they come to argue with you, the disbelievers say, "These are tales from the past."

[6:26]   THEY REPEL OTHERS FROM THIS (QURAN), AS THEY THEMSELVES STAY AWAY FROM IT, AND THUS, THEY ONLY DESTROY THEMSELVES WITHOUT PERCEIVING.

Peace
