[quote][url="http://www.irfi.org/articles/articles_301_350/nature_and_role_of_hadith.htm"]Anti hadith views replied by Dr.Robert D. Crane[/url] Former advisor to late US president Nixon and Former US Deputy Director (for Planning) of the National Security Council. ------------------- ...The only major fault that I find with his whole approach, and one of which most authors are guilty, is suggested in his statement on page 63: “In the realms of philosophy, religion, the social sciences, and the arts … there can only be one optimum form which will maximize the efficiency of all social behavior in human societies.” The weakness of this approach is its failure to distinguish between human-made systems or realms, in which there can be no “optimum” form, and divine revelation, in which by definition there is an optimum, even though exactly what this is will always remain beyond human certainty. Secondly, in his statement lumping philosophy and the social sciences and the arts together with religion, Ahmad fails to distinguish between essence and form. In philosophy, there clearly is a distinction between the essence of positivist relativism, which denies the existence or even possibility of truth, and the essence of what America’s founders called traditionalism, which denies the truth of such relativism. In religion, on the other hand the essence of all religions, regardless of the diversity in outward expression, is awareness of an ultimate reality beyond all forms, which Muslims and Arabic-speaking Christians call Allah and some Christians call Being (which is beyond existence) or even Beyond Being (beyond the trinity). The essence of religion, furthermore, involves recognition that from the Oneness of the ultimate comes ineluctably the coherence of existence, which Muslims call tawhid.[/quote]
