[quote]Respected brother in Islam salam

you have quoted

Sunnah

“A word spoken, or an act done, or a confirmation given by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) for the following of Ummah is Sunnah.

So every word and action of the prophet pbuh is sunnah, and if deen is Quran and Sunnah, then they are also deen.

Brother! the regulations for prophets of Allah, their accountability for small mistakes (un-intentional) is different from those of the common man.
Tahajad namaz was compulsary for the prophet pbuh, not for the ummah. The stipulation for marriges for the prophet pbuh, the reasons for them, the regulations for divorce ( prophet pbuh could not divorce them) and the regulations for the wives of the prophet pbuh (they could not marry someone else)are unique for the prophet pbuh.None of these regulations apply to ummah, so how can we say that every action and word of prophet pbuh is his sunnah, which would then mean it is essential following.

What about this hadith from sahih muslim, kitab ul fazil

" I am a human being like you, when I give you any religious commands, accept it. When I say something of my personal opinion, remember tht I am nothing but a human being. I had only guesed. Do not accept from me that which is based on guess work.[regarding the fertilisation method of date palms] However when I convey something from Allah, follow it because  I will never attribute anything falsely to Allah falsely. As regards  your worldly affairs, you are more knowledgeable then I am." I guess you will term it zaif or unreliable as it is contradictory to your definition of sunnah.
brother , according to this hadith, we are to follow the prophet pbuh in religious matters and not every matter, according to him.

What about prophet pbuh likes and dislikes. I quoted the incident about Khalid bin Wleed, eating a lizard, that the prophet pbuh disliked, he asked is it haraam, the prophet pbuh said no, and he ate it. He is a well respected sahabha.was he breaking sunnah?

Regarding the authencity of hadith. Firstly, the most important sahabha that we can think about are hazrat abu bakr and hazrat Umar, hazrat Ali and hazrat Usman . We can see how keen they are in getting QUr'an copied and circulated, they do not make any efforts to organise hadith.

Qur'an addressers us as the believers, muslims, followers of our prophet Mohammad pbuh, not as sunni, shiaat, malike, shafi, humbli or hanfi.

Shiat form a sizeable fraction of muslims, in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Pakistan. They interpret Islam according to hadith from hazrat Ali and their chosen sahabha. They cannot find authencity for their beliefs from Qur'an of course.

When it comes to Qur'an, ummah has ijmmah about the content of Qur'an, we may have differences in the interpretations of these verses. SO how does sects come about. through hadith. The ones that agree with a particular sect are authentic, the rest are zaif or unreliable. When I ask you about hadith from Hazrat Ali that shiaat believe, you would say they are not authentic. and vice versa. I repeat where is the ijmmah of ummah on authencity of the content of hadith.

One thing further brother,Where in Qur'an has Allah substantiated hadith as a source of deen. On one hand we define deen as abdi hidayat, divine guidance to mankind through prophets. kept in Loh i mahfooz and brought down by Hazrat Gabriel. The Qur'an that Allah has taken responsibility of looking after. On the other hand we have stories, transmitted through generations, peoples narratives, not even written with permisison of prophet PBUH. not written in the life time of prophet pbuh. not written for years after the death of prophet pbuh. The difference is immense. We believe Islam is the final religion. Why would Allah use such strict means for the nazool of Qur'an and then let rest of teh deen be transmitted in such a casual way through hadith.

When I spoke to one scholar about the authencity of hadith, he replied, the hadith that are against the content of Qur'an and Sunnah are zaif. So we are saying that this is a source of religion which actually contains hadith that contradict Qur'an the word of ALlah and sunnah of prophet pbuh. How we decide right from wrong. The ones that seem more agreeable to our belief or are sect. the rest are zaif.

My respected brother in Islam. I am amazed, sitting at home you have looked into the hearts and mind of every muslim in the entire world, approx 1 billion and come up with statistics of some thing like 0.0000001% believe in Javaid Ghamidhi. I wish I could collect and present statistics like this too.[/quote]
