[quote]AOA Perv 1,Since I am new to the forum I am not familiar with many participant’s beliefs.In order to have a fruitful discussion with you it would be very useful to know your approach towards understanding islam. As far as I am concerned I consider Quran as the law giver and sunnah as the practice giver. The entire religion of islam is contained in these two disciplines.As far as Hadith is considered I don’t consider it as an integral part of Islam. It is absolutely evident that Ahadith do not add to the contents of religion stated in the Quran and Sunnah. In technical terms, they do not add any article of faith or any deed to religion. In other words, it is outside the scope of Ahadith to give an independent directive not covered by the Quran and Sunnah. I firmly believe that the entire religion was completed during the life of prophet pbuh as mentioned in surah Maidah verse 3.However, this is also a reality that the Hadith literature is the largest and most important source which records the biography, history and the exemplary life of the Prophet Muhaammad  pbuh  as well as his invaluable explanations of various issues of religion. Thus it occupies such great importance that no student of religion can ignore it. 
Having explained my views on islam can I ask you most humbly how do you understand islam? To start with I have only got two questions for you;
1-What are your sources of  islam?
2-Where do you derive the practices of Islam like salah,zakah,hajj etc etc……
Once I know how you understand islam I think we would be in a better position to discuss the issue further.I would leave it with you whether you want to give brief or detailed answers.
Regarding Ghamidhi’s work you write;
“I am afraid i dont share your high opinion of him. I find his work contradictory and intellectually very weak”.
I fully respect your views on Ghamidhi's work which i am sure would be based on sound reasoning.Please do me a big favour by pointing out only a few contradictions and weaknesses in Ghamidhi’s research.Afterall it is not Ghamidhi that I have to submit to.It is the truth that we all should strive for and submit to in this life.This in my view is the real meaning of the word ‘ISLAM’(submission to truth).
