[quote]salaam oosman

[quote] Dear prev1,

The moderator differentiates between hadith and sunnah as two distinct things. Hadith is prone to error and human manipulation, its method of transmission is different from that of Sunnah or Quran, the former is the hard work of great scholars, the latter is the work of the ummah as a whole.

For e.g., consider this. When you were a child, you had no knowledge of what hadith was. But you still knew what salat was, what fasting was and how to do it. In fact you probably did many things in the Sunnah without ever consulting the hadith. So the Sunnah is something separate from Hadith, you do not need the Hadith to follow the Sunnah (although the Hadith can be helpful in details). [/quote]

Thank you for comment, I understand where you and the moderators are coming from. It is simply that I dont think very much of the moderators point of view. Quran is a complete book, and if you believe it is the word of God then you have to accept that as such as that is what the Quran states. Having spent considerable time I have not found any evidence to back up this sunna claim. 
Oosman if you look at christianity, judaism etc one of the biggest objections Muslims, all from different sects, is that additions were made to what the prophets said or did and also became obssessed by the rituals. hence the Quran, for the muslims, as the uncorrupted and the complete word of God. What God has considerd important is in the great book, what is not-God obviousouly did not feel it important enough to be included.
So what do the muslims do, same as the ones they accuse, well Gods word is not enough we will add our bit of sunna and hadith and other bits you care as God cannot properly explain his word in his own book.
As for this umma bit, I suggest you travel around the world or even in a given area in a Muslim country and you will so many different rituals amongst the group who claim to be of the same sect Wonder why they all got different traditions passed to them. All these additions to Islam have corrupted this wonderful religion and created countless sects. It is time we went back to the true source of Islam of which there is only on [b]THE QURAN.[/b]   pologies for any errors or for unintended rudeness as in rush.
