[quote]In continuation of my earlier reply....

[b]Here is further Evidence from the Quraan that they are the same:[/b]

[red]And an announcement from ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER are free from liability to the idolaters; therefore, if you repent, it will be better for you, and if you turn back, then know that you will not weaken Allah; and announce painful punishment to those who disbelieve (9:3) [/red]

[b]Now, did the people hear Allah giving this announcement of immunity  The answer is No!.  It was only from the LIPS of His Messenger, Muhammad, that they heard this announcement of immunity.  Yet it is supposed to come from both Allah and His Messenger.   Or do people think that one announcement came from Allah and ANOTHER came from the Messenger Allah does not speak to all the people.  What He does is that He chooses a human being as His instrument and communicates through that instrument. 
The following Ayah again establishes that Obedience to Allah and His Messenger is ONE and the SAME thing: [/b]

[red]O you who believe! Obey Allah and Obey the Messenger and do not turn back from HIM <anhu while you hear (8:20)[/red]
 
[b]Here the believers are identified to be those who were listening to the Messenger who delivers the Quraanic laws to them, as the singular pronoun anhu (from him) indicates.   This confirms that Allah and His Messenger are not two separate sources of law to be obeyed, but that the source of Divine law to be obeyed is ONLY Allah and ONLY the people are able to hear these divine laws through the LIPS of His Messenger.

The Messenger himself is made to testify that the Law and the Judgment is only from Allah as revealed through the Messenger in His Book:[/b]

[red]Shall I seek a Law-giver other than Allah When He it is Who has revealed to you the Book distinctly elucidated. (6:114)[/red]

[b]Thus, the proponents of Hadith are only relying on conjecture when they say that obey the Messenger means to obey EXTRA commandments outside of the Quraan; they have no evidence from the Quraan to back up this claim - only conjecture: [/b]

[red]Most of them follow nothing but conjecture: truly conjecture can be of no avail against truth. Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do. (10:36)[/red]
