[quote]QUOTE: - Have you ever done literature exercises in school? Where you are given a paragraph or two from a story and ask you to explain it in the context? If you have read the full story, you would know what the characters are saying and what is happening in the paragraph and you'll get the full marks. But if you've not read the story, your interpretation would be based solely on that paragraph you've given and chances are that you might make mistake. I am talking the same thing here. We should get the full knowledge of Quran and Hadith with context.

I DISAGREE with you!!!

Please keep in mind your words; especially “what the characters are saying and what is happening in the paragraph” and “We should get the full knowledge of Quran and Hadith with context” and see the following.
Major portion of Holy Quran consists of stories of the past. If we follow after seeing the context of those stories then what is the concern of yours, others and mine with the talk between Prophet Musa (pbuh) and Phiron, between Prophet Yousuf (pbuh) and Zulaikha, between Prophet Nuh (pbuh) and his nation, between Prophet Loot (pbuh) and his nation, between Prophet Saleh (pbuh) and his nation etc etc……… thousands of years ago?

Similarly if we follow after seeing the context of Ahadith then what is the concern of yours, others and mine with the talk of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to Aisha(Ra), Abu Baker(Ra), Umar(Ra), Usman(Ra), Ali(Ra) and others companions(Ra) and the battles etc etc……..about 1427 years ago?

According to your thinking, if we see the context then follow, most of the Holy Quran and Ahadith do not seem to be applicable to us but the people of the PAST ONLY. What do you now say for the Muslims of today who are neither the characters of Holy Quran nor those of Ahadith?
