Remember:
Each and every Ayaat/Verse of the Quraan is two in one, i.e. KALAAM of Allah as well as Hadeeth Qudsi of Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him), since we got it from the mouth of Him (sav)
and it is His (sav) saying as well. Only
Quraan is protected by Allah and is completely error free and has no
contradictions at all, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004:082, 015:009). All
other books (other than the Quraan) including Hadeeth have errors and
contradictions, since those are NOT book of Allah and are NOT protected.
There are three types of Hadeeth,
Un-Authentic Hadeeth, Valid Authentic Hadeeth and Invalid Authentic
Hadeeth.
1> Un-Authentic Hadeeth
Most of the Muslim Scholars are
totally aware of the Un-Authentic Hadeeth, and these must be DELETED / REMOVED from all the books of
Hadeeth to reduce the confusion among
Muslim Ummah.
2> Valid Authentic Hadeeth
Most of the Muslim Scholars are
totally with the Authentic Hadeeth which do not contradict the Quraan
and these are one of the real essence
of Islaam.
3> Invalid Authentic Hadeeth
This is the main driving key for all
the divisions in Islaam, although are VERY
FEW of the Hadeeth, may be less than 1%. These must be re-analyzed and FIXED or REMOVED
from all the books of Hadeeth to reduce the confusion among Muslim
Ummah.
Main Reason for
Invalid Authentic Hadeeth Contradiction the Quraan:
In the Quraan Allah mentioned, that
He replaced few verses of the Quraan, with similar or better verses
(Al_Quraan_002.106, 016.101, 087.006-007). Now no one knows those old
verses except for few like the commandments about consuming alcohol,
since those were completely DELETED / REMOVED from the Quraan or all
the scholars have taken the final statement i.e. alcohol is forbidden
in Islaam completely as guided by the Quraan and there is a clear
wisdom that one has to leave some of the bad habits in stages. However
that is not true with the Books of Hadeeth, that is one of the reason,
why you see although the narrations are ok, but few Hadeeth are still
contradicting the Quraan. That is the only reason why, few of the
Authentic Hadeeth are Invalid, BUT those Hadeeth need to be DELETED /
REMOVED from all the book of Hadeeth.
Also the Quraan was revealed in
stages during a period of around 23 years (Ref: Al_Quraan_076.023). It
may have been possible that before any verses were revealed in the
Quraan on any specific issue of any punishment for any crime, people of
the book might have presented their laws from their Holy Books, which
included Torah (Old Testament), or Injeel (New Testament), or Zaboor
(Book of Psalms) and since those were also Book of Allah, although
people have changed them, and Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) might
have given decision ONLY to the people of the book (Jews &
Christian) of their believe. An example of that could be Stone to death
for the Punishment for Adultery, which later Quraan clearly mentioned
that regardless of any discrimination of status, gender etc.,
punishment of Adultery is hundred lashes. (Ref: AL_Quraan_024.002)
Also when Great Muhadditheen of
Islaam like Imaam Bukharee or Imaam Muslim were collecting Hadeeth, it
was really possible that Munafiqeen (Hypocrite) of that time, who were
unable to alter the Quraan, since it is protected by Allah, managed to
present in an intelligent way, which might have confused Great
Muhadditeen of Islaam and who included those as a human error. Allah
protected the Quraan and Quraan only.
Similarly we need to do more research
on each and every Invalid Authentic Hadeeth and DELETE / REMOVE those
from all the books of Hadeeth which contradict the Quraan.
Ali (RA) narrated, Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) said, there is NO
DOUBT that, there will be Hadeeths coming after me, claiming
that I have said those. So you MUST
test each and every Hadeeth from the QURAAN.
If it is really according to the Quraan ONLY then you ACCEPT it otherwise REJECT it. (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2,
Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba Farooqi – 513)
None argue
concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah BUT those who Disbelieves
..., (Al_Quraan_040.004).
Those who don’t read the Quraan
with understanding/translation and Practice on Allah’s commandments are
like ASS/Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).
Question: Which of the three FAREWELL SERMONS
is authentic? Remember: Only
one can be true at a time.
01> “I am leaving for you two things that
you must uphold, the Quraan and my Sunnah” (according to Muwatta
46/3).
02> “I am leaving for you the Quraan and my
relatives (Ahl Al bayt)” (according to Muslim 44/4, Nu 2408; Ibn
Hanbal 4/366; Darimi 23/1, Nu 3319).
03> “I am leaving for you the Quraan alone;
you shall uphold it” (according to Muslim 15/9, Nu 1218; Ibn
majah 25/84, Nu 3074; Abu Dawud 11/56, Nu 1905).
IF QURAAN
CANNOT CONVINCE YOU NOTHING WILL
Read Al-Quraan, the
Miracle of Miracles and free from contradictions and errors
