[quote]Salam brother Usmani If we say that we can formulate deen or finds rules and regulations about deen from Ahadith, then what about the Qur'an? Why has Allah adressed the Qur'an as the Meezan, Furqaan and Burhaan and muhaeman. surah Ibrahim verse 1 Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture which We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) that thereby thou mayst bring forth mankind from darkness unto light, by the permission of their Lord, unto the path of the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, The Qur’an is the fountainhead of religious authority. It is 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 has been invested with the status of the guardian over all previous Divine Books. And to you (O Prophet pbuh), we have revealed a Book with the truth confirming what the previous scriptures (say about it) and it stands as Guardian over them……… (5:48) Qur'an is divine, how can we compare that with hadith that is the interpretation of a person according to his knowledge, background, mental ability and understanding.Then we have to trace the authencity in chains of people over generations. We have discussed before that in the same class or in a lecture, if you have 50 students, and you ask them after the lecture what they understood, they may come to different conclusions on what the teacher may have meant. Another question is that the Prophet Pbuh made efforts to get the Qur'an written, it was taken further by Abu Baker and usman rta. If our deen and shariah was to be formulated through hadith then why did these people make no efforts to have ahadith written down as they did about Qur'an. Are we saying that nouzobillah Allah gave us half the shariah in the Qur'an and then said find the rest in Hadith. How can a human manuscript be equal to the divine Qur'an?as mentioned above Allah has defined the authencity and the place of Qur'an in the Qur'an. Where has the Qur'an mentioned that we seek guidance from man written ahadith. The Qur'an, all muslims believe in. We may disagree on some interpretations but we generally agree on verses of the Qur'an. Ahadith form the basis of sectarianism in Islam.Every sect formed claims its authencity.not through Qur'an but through ahadith. Shiaat quote ahadith that the prophet pbuh even without travel or war offered zuhr and asr together an maghrib and isha together. As such they say namaz three times daily. The difference in saying namaz, aying Ameen loudly or not, raising hands when going in rakooh and sajdah, where to keep hands in namaz, are these caused by Qur'an or hadith. What about prophet Muhammad pbuh personal likes or dislikes.The hadith about Khalid bin waleed, that the prophet was invited for a meal and offered a traditional lizard dish, the prophet pbuh did not like it. Khalid bin waleed asked the prophet it is haraam, he replied no. he started eating it. If every word , action and deed of prophet is sunnah, then I am afraid the prophet pbuh does not remain a human being, he then becomes divine like Jesus in Christianity. Why does the Qur'an corrects the prophet Pbuh.? When he is being hasty is getting the verses of the Qur'an. " Be not in haste with the Qur'an before the revelation is completed to you and prey; O Lord advance me in knowledge". Surah nahal verse 1" ALlah's decision has been made thus do not be in haste(O'PROPHET) SURAH TAUBAH VERSE 43. Allah has forgiven you, why did you give leave to them( pertaining to the battle of tabu, when the prophet allowed munafekeen to not join in battle). The Qur'an defines the role and place of the prophet pbuh. these were the famous verses recited by Abubakr at the death of prophet Mohammad pbuh when Umar had taken his sword out and said if anyone said that the prophet pbuh is dead I will kill him. 3;144 Muhammad is but a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) have passed away before him. Will it be that, when he dieth or is slain, ye will turn back on your heels? He who turneth back on his heels doth no hurt to Allah, and Allah will reward the thankful. If every word, action, deed of the prophet is sunnah. Then are we saying riding a camel and horse is sunnah, living in tent is sunnah.fighting with a sword is sunnah, so we should not use guns. We should only wear what the prophet used to wear, is that sunnah. Hadith provides explanation, historical record of the life of prophet pbuh and also his uswa. In my humble opinion it does not add to the core content of our religion. In my humble opinion. sunnah are those Sunnah literally means well trodden path in Arabic. Sunnah are those Abrahamic practices and rituals that were adopted and revived by the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), in some cases after modifications and additions, and instituted among his followers as integral part of God's religion. Sunnan (plural of Sunnah) are practical activities and have been transferred and established by the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), as part of the practices of God's religion, through practical demonstration to his Companions. From the companions, these practices have been transmitted uninterrupted through successive generations of Muslims with consensus (Ijma) and practical perpetuation (tawaatur) to date. Hadith literally means a saying or something new. In Islamic terminology, it is defined as the individual-to-individual narratives ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh) regarding his sayings, actions, expressed or tacit approvals, his life history and personal description. These include: • Life history of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), including his meetings with people, important events in his time e.g. Holy wars as narrated by his followers. • Record of the Prophet Mohammad’s (pbuh) everyday life, rituals and routines, these are those things that he liked but did not authorise their initiation as essential part of religion. These records reveal the Prophet’s (pbuh) excellent example(Uswa Al Hasana) in carrying out the directives of Islam. • Record of answers to questions and explanations given by the Prophet (pbuh) to his followers. • Record of any explanations about commandments in the Qur’an and the Sunnah by the Prophet (pbuh) to his followers. 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. Hadith can thus explain these sources or provide the best example set by the Holy Prophet (pbuh); it cannot abrogate or contradict the basic corpus of religion residing in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Hadith literature does not add to the content of religion; it offers an explanation of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah.[/quote]
