[quote]Quote:- It does not end here.All those scholars who believe hadith to be original source of islam also believe that hadith can not only limit but also alter the meaning of Quranic directives.The best examples of these are the Quranic directives on apostasy,punishement for fornication and the Quranic verses which only allowed muslims to have sexual relations with their wives and slave girls.Unfortunately,on the basis of Ahadith muslim jurists ignore the very obvious Quranic directives thereby rendering Quranic subjucated to Ahadith.

See what Furqan says in this issue.

And We sent down towards you the Advice (i.e. the Qur’ân) so that you may explain to the people what has been sent down to them, and so that they may ponder. (16:44)
It is unequivocally established here that the basic function of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) is to explain the Holy Book and to interpret the revelation sent down to him. It is obvious that the Arabs of Makkah, who were directly addressed by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) did not need any translation of the Qur’ânic text. The Holy Qur’ân was revealed in their own mother tongue. Despite that they were mostly illiterate, they had a command on their language and literature. Their beautiful poetry, their eloquent speeches and their impressive dialogues are the basic sources of richness in the Arabic literature. They needed no one to teach them the literal meaning of the Qur’ânic text. That they understood the textual meaning is beyond any doubt.
It is thus obvious that the explanation entrusted to the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was something more than the literal meaning of the Book. It was an explanation of what Allâh Almighty intended, including all the implications involved and the details needed. These details are also received by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) through the unrecited revelation. As discussed earlier, the Holy Qur’ân has clearly said,
 
Then, it is on Us to explain it. (75:19)

This verse is self-explanatory on the subject. Allâh Almighty has Himself assured the Holy Prophet (pbuh) that He shall explain the Book to him. So, whatever explanation the Holy Prophet (pbuh) gives to the Book is based on the explanation of Allâh Himself. So, his interpretation of the Holy Qur’ân overrides all the possible interpretations. Hence, he is the final authority in the exegesis and interpretation of the Holy Qur’ân. His word is the last word in this behalf.[/quote]
