Reason for
Hadeeth Contradicting the Quraan
By
Irshad Mahmood – Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
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).
IF
QURAAN CANNOT CONVINCE YOU NOTHING WILL
Read
Al-Quraan, the Miracle of Miracles and free from contradictions and
errors
