Are hadiths the example of prophet Muhammad ?

Peace to the world,

Is it true that Prophet Muhammad is an excellent example for all ? Is it true that in order to follow his examples we need hadiths ? We have already shown from the Qur'an that it is fully detailed (click to read) and we have already seen from the Qur'an that Muhammad was not given any other revelation beside Qur'an for humanity (click to read). Even then, let us consider the very ayaat (verse) that is quoted by the sheikhs/imams/scholars to raise this issue :

"Indeed, in the messenger of God a good example has been set for you for he who seeks God and the Last Day and thinks constantly about God."

[ Qur'an 33:21]

We notice that the verse does not say that "in Muhammad", but let us assume that the verse is talking about Prophet Muhammad. What these mullahs/sheikhs say is that because of the above ayaat, we have to follow examples of prophet, but from the sahih-hadith collections written by man centuries after the prophet. You can either blindly listen to the scholars, or listen to the Qur'an and what it says about good example. Let me demonstrate to you how much these scholars/sheikhs lie. Let us consider the following verses:

"There has been a good example set for you by Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: We are innocent from you and what you serve besides God. We have rejected you, and it appears that there shall be animosity and hatred between us and you until you believe in God alone. Except for the saying of Abraham to his father: I will ask forgiveness for you, but I do not possess any power to protect you from God. Our Lord, we have put our trust in You, and we turn to You, and to You is the final destiny. Our Lord, do not let us become a test for those who rejected, and forgive us. Our Lord, You are the Noble, the Wise. Certainly, a good example has been set by them for those who seek God and the Last Day. And whoever turns away, then God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy."

[Qur'an 60:4-6]

So, we find in the context of the overall Qur'an that "good example" does not mean that you now have to go and find out tonnes of man made books about the messengers/prophets in order to follow. Allah uses the EXACT SAME terms to talk about good examples of IBRAHIM and his companions as we see in 60:4-5. Did we go and find out 6 sahih-hadith collections for that ? No, we did not. This is because the Qur'an is already telling us about them. In the same way, when it comes to prophet Muhammad, the Qur'an is filled with examples. The Qur'an is filled with situations he faced and how God ordered him to tackle the situations. Let us consider one of the most extraordinary examples I came across :

"O you prophet, why do you make unlawful what God has made lawful for you, seeking to please your wives? God is Forgiver, Merciful."

[Qur'an 66:01]

In the above ayaat (verse), we see an extraordinary example. A prophet of God making the mistake of declaring things halal/haram by himself which Allah did not give him the authority to do. The example we get from this verse is phenomenal. This verse bares witness that ONLY GOD has the authority to make things halal/haram and just because prophet said something, it does not make it lawful/unlawful. So, we learn from this example the same message that we learnt from the principle of our faith , "There is no God beside Allah". 

After all, if  Muhammad also could make things halal or haram, then there would be 2 Gods, not ONE. I am ending this post with a food for thought for you:

"And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur'an from every example- that they might remember."

[Qur'an 39:27]

"And We have repeated for humankind, in this Qur'an, every kind of example, but the majority of humankind do not consent to anything but denying."

[Qur'an 17:89]

Let me ask you, what about you ? Are you with the majority in 17:89 , deny that God gave all examples in His kitaab ?

Peace be with you

The Greatest messenger of Allah

Peace to the world,

All muslims know that there were many messengers sent by God. But if we rank them, who would be number one ? Will it be Muhammad ? Moses ? Jesus ? Who is the greatest messenger of Allah ?

Before we find the answer to that, I must tell you that even to rank them yourself, you would need to know their hearts. Ofcourse, I do not know what is in their heart, so I can't judge them. But I am pretty sure that your favourite mullah/sheikh/scholar/imam already informed you about the answer to this question. Since we know that God is the best scholar, let us look into His Book, Al-Qur'an, and find out what did Allah tell us about the topic.

Say: "We believe in God and in what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the prophets from their Lord; we do not make a distinction between any of them and to Him we submit."

[ Qur'an 2:136]

So, according to Allah, as He inspired the messenger to "Say", we believe in all his messengers/prophets and what was given to them and ofcourse we believe in what was given to us. AND WE DO NOT MAKE DISTINCTION BETWEEN ANY OF THEM.

Let us look at the Qur'an further and see if we can find similar statements.

The messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord; and the believers, all who believe in God, and His angels, and His Books, and His messengers: "We do not make a distinction between any of His messengers;" and they said: "We hear and obey, forgive us our Lord, and to you is our destiny."

[ Qur'an 2:285]

So once more we see that we are not supposed to make distinctions between any of Allah's messengers. Let us look for more ayaats :

Say: "We believe in God and what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Patriarchs, and what was given to Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We do not make a distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit."

[ Qur'an 3:84]

And those who believe in God and His messengers and do not make a distinction between any of them, We will give them their recompense. And God is Forgiving, Merciful.

[ Qur'an 4:152]

Chapter 3 verse 84 says the same thing, we should not make distinction between God's messengers. In chapter 4 verse 152, we learn that those who do not make distinctions between messengers of God will get rewards from God. So, not making distinction is a good act in the sight of God.

Having looked into Qur'an, we are now crystal clear on the issue. A righteous person will not make distinction between ANY of HIS messengers. So, based on the question "Who is the greatest messenger ?" ranking the messengers as 1st 2nd 3rd can only lead you away from the straight path of Allah.

So the next time your favourite sheikh/alim/mullah/imam/scholar tries to rank them (messengers) and declare any one of them as superior or inferior to the other, remember that you are have been shown these ayaats. Truth is clear to you, if you still believe your sheikhs more than God's words that He preserved for you, did you not take them as partner beside God ? Actually, the case is worse, you are then rejecting God's words to accept your scholar's words.

Feel free to comment , criticize and share your views down in the comment section.

Did prophet Muhammad know the future ?

Peace to the world,

Any traditional muslim can verify that he/she heard many hadiths of prophet where the prophet informs the companions about future. There are hadiths relating to end times, general future world situations etc. Any reader of hadith literature knows that Muhammad could see the unseen. Muhammad even warns his companions about the unseen and what it will bring to the world. My question to you is, what did God say about it ? Let us see in the Qur'an (chapter 27 verse 65):

27:65    Say: "None in the heavens or the earth know the unseen except God. And they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.


For anyone with the ability to read, it is clear. ONLY GOD knows the unseen/future. This ayaat (verse/sign) is enough for me. However, one may try to claim that God gave Muhammad the ability to do it. So we need to verify that from Qur'an too. Let us look further into Qur'an( 6:50, 7:188, 11:31):

6:50    Say: "I do not say to you that I possess the treasures of God, nor do I know the future, nor do I say to you that I am an angel. I merely follow what is inspired to me." Say: "Are the blind and the seer the same? Do you not think?

So, God made the messenger declare that the messenger DOES NOT KNOW the future. The messenger only follows what is revealed to him. Qur'an says that the only thing revealed is Qur'an (click this). Let us look further:

7:188    Say: "I do not possess for myself any benefit or harm, except what God wills. And if I could know the future, then I would have increased my good fortune, and no harm would have come to me. I am but a warner and a bearer of good news to a people who believe."

The messenger is commanded to say that he did not know the future, and he is made to argue further by saying that IF he knew the future, he could increase his good fortune and no harm could touch him. This alone tells you that harm did touch him. God makes him declare in the end of the ayaat (verse/sign) that he is just a warner and someone who is sent with a good news for the believers. Let us look at another example:

11:31    "Nor do I say to you that I have the treasures of God, nor do I know the future, nor do I say that I am an angel, nor do I say to those whom your eyes look down upon that God will not grant them any good. God is more aware of what is in their souls; in such case I would be among the wicked."

Once more, we find God making the messenger declare that he does not know the future and is not angelic in nature, he is just a man, a clear warner.

46:9	Say: I am no different from the other messengers, nor do I know what will happen to me or to you. I only follow what is inspired to me. I am no more than a clear warner.

It is remarkable how the Qur'an makes the topic so clear. Only the scholars/sheikhs/imams/mullahs come up with their CONTRADICTORY hadiths and teach the people anti-Qur'an teachings. I get it, there were always people whom God trusted with the scripture and they went astray, some even went as far as making the messenger into a God. If you are a traditional muslim, you have now read my refutation from the Qur'an. It is time for you to either think about discarding the traditions and obey what you hear from the Qur'an, or help the sheikhs/scholars hide these ayaats of God and obey what you hear from their other books.

In any case, it is my duty to inform you that those who do not judge with God's kitaab are kafirs/fasiks/zalims (5:44:48). I leave the decision up to you, as I still think that no matter how much we differ, your heart can be a muslim and I am no one to judge that.

"What is wrong with you, how do you judge? Or do you have another book which you study? In it, you can find what you wish?"

[Qur'an 68:36-37]

With that said, I would like to see all of us do good while we are believers, without doing good, it is just a belief worth nothing. 

98:7 As for those who believe and do good works, they are the best of creation.

Peace be on you

9 Questions for traditional muslims

Peace to the world,

This post is meant to raise questions for your inner self. Not for the person that others know as "you". But for the person that you and God alone knows as "you". The true "you", your inner self. I would assume that you can read, if not write aswell.

Imagine a room inside which you can find instructions that will give you eternal success. Imagine that the room is known as a miracle of God. Imagine that the informations in that room are given by God Himself and is preserved by Him for you. Imagine God giving you not only permission to enter, but an invitation to enter the room.

Now Imagine that only few people that you consider as "smart" go inside the room to see the instructions. When these people come out of the room, they claim to have recieved the instructions. However, they dont agree between each other on details of the instructions.

1. If you have never been to the room yourself, can you honestly say who among the ones that entered the room is correct ?
2. You can always have faith in one of the people that go to that room, BUT, is faith in that person the same as faith in God ?
3. If your reason for having faith in your favourtie person that visited the room is that the person is very knowledgeable, do you not know that scientists like Isaac Newton was Christian, Albert Einstein was agnostic Jew and Stephen Hawking does not believe in God ? What does this tell you about blind faith on smart people to understand what God kept in that room ?
4. If smart people are correct in their opinion, why do many of their opinions go against each other ?
5. If having different opinions is not a big deal, why can't "you" have your own opinion ?
6. You can't have your opinion because you are not "as smart as those few people that enter the room" ?
7. If it is guaranteed that their opinion is better than yours, why would God give you permission with an invitation to that room ?
8. Did God mistakenly give you the permission and invitation to the room ?
9. Or did you make the mistake of not accepting the invitation and putting your faith in a human being instead of God ?

The room that we are talking about in this post is the kitaab(book) from God. Muslims know this book as Al-Qur'an.  God detailed His book and invited you to read and learn it. God asked you to spread the message. Think about what your trusted people told you about what is inside the Qur'an.. Ask your self these 9 questions . Are you really on the Straight Path of God ? or you risk your life following a human being who can be wrong ? Do you want to simply repeat what you hear from them instead of checking God's message yourself ? Just because alot of people do that ? Just because your family taught you that ?

"And if they are told: "Follow what God has sent down," they say: "No, we will follow what we found our fathers doing!" What if their fathers did not comprehend anything and were not guided? And the example of those who disbelieve is like one who repeats what he has heard of calls and cries; deaf, dumb, and blind, they do not comprehend."

[Qur'an 2:170-171]



May God increase you in knowledge and open your eyes so that you be guided to success in this life and the next.

Peace be on you

Misquoting God: Take what Muhammad gives you and abstain from what he forbids.

PEACE TO THE WORLD,

In this post, we will look into a classic example of misquoting God. Ever heard from the sheikhs/scholars/imams that Allah commanded us to take whatever Muhammad gives and stay away from whatever Muhammad forbids ? This has been used to justify their injection of man made pagan laws into Islam in the name of God and His messenger. These people claim to be scholars, yet, the ayaat that they quote is not even quoted by them fully. Let us look at the ayaat with context and see why Allah found it necessary all of a sudden to share His Godhood with Muhammad:

The way these scholars present the ayaat:

"And you may take what the messenger gives you, but do not take what he prohibits you from taking."

[Qur'an 59:7]

My view:

Allah never asked you to take whatever Muhammad gives you in the sense that you are supposed to take whatever God gives you. This ayaat is about the fair and just distribution of war booty among both rich and poor people who are needy. These scholars/imams not only misquote, they dont even provide you the full ayaat for God's sake. Let me provide you the full picture:

"Glorifying God is everything in the heavens and the earth; and He is the Noble, the Wise. He is the One who drove out those who disbelieved among the people of the Book from their homes at the very first mobilization. You never thought that they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses would protect them from God. But then God came to them from where they did not expect, and He cast terror into their hearts. They destroyed their homes with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So learn from this, O you who possess vision. And had God not decreed to banish them He would have punished them in this world; and in the Hereafter they will face the retribution of the Fire. This is because they challenged God and His messenger. And whoever challenges God, then God is severe in punishment. Whether you cut down a tree or left it standing on its root, it was with the permission of God. He will surely humiliate the wicked. And what God provided to His messenger, without you having to battle for it on horses or on foot, was because God sends His emissaries against whoever He wills. And God is capable of all things. Whatever God bestowed upon His messenger from the people of the towns, then it shall be to God and His messenger, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the poor, and the wayfarer. Thus, it will not remain monopolized by the rich among you. And you may take what the messenger gives you, but do not take what he prohibits you from taking. And be aware of God, for God is mighty in retribution. For the immigrants who are poor and were driven out of their homes and deprived of their properties; they were seeking a grace from God and acceptance, and they supported God and His messenger; these are the truthful ones. And those who provided them with shelter, and were believers before them; they love those who immigrated to them, and they find no hesitation in their hearts in helping them, and they readily give them priority over themselves, even when they themselves need what they give away. Indeed, those who overcome their desires are the successful ones. And those who came after them saying: �Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us to the faith, and do not place in our hearts any animosity towards those who believed. Our Lord, You are Compassionate, Merciful.       

[Qur'an 59:1-10 ]

So, we see in context that it was never about taking what the messenger gives you in a Godly sense. In context, we are detailed by God in His kitaab(book) that there were people who supported the messenger with all they had, there were needy people. The booty of the war will be monopolized by the rich and powerful, which is not the system of Allah as shown in the above ayaats. Allah wants to make sure that the resources gained do reach the ones in real need. So the order was given that Muhammad will honestly distribute it to the real needy.

It shocks me as to how many traditional muslims are misquoted this ayaat by their imams/scholars/sheikhs. Seriously, does this not open your eyes to the hypocrisy and evil that your sheikhs preach while they know they are lying ? It is amazing how they quote only part of a single ayaat where the ayaat is totally binded with the surrounding. How can they twist their tongues with the book of God to promote their lies ? Here is what Allah says about them:

"And from among them is a group who twist their tongues with the Book so that you may think it is from the Book, while it is not from the Book, and they say it is from God while it is not from God, and they say about God lies while they know."

[Qur'an 3:78]

--------------------------------- Student of Allah  

Do you need hadith because Qur'an lacks details and examples ?

PEACE TO THE WORLD,

This Student of Allah would like to make clear the issues of this post. It is well known in the traditional islamic zone that we need hadiths to explain Qur'an. One of the biggest reason quoted by the scholars/sheikhs/imams is that the Qur'an lacks in clarity and details. So, hadiths are used to explain the Qur'an. As for me, the common sense approach stops anything unprotected by God to be used to explain the Qur'an. If you cant explain the Qur'an using the Qur'an, it is very doubtful in my view. That is too dishonest a thing to do. But today, we will let the Qur'an speak about itself. After all, if God wrote a book, wouldn't He be smart enough to make it sufficient for you ? Lets look at what God had to say on the issue:

"Alif Laam Mim, a kitaab(book) whose ayaats (verses/signs) are perfected and explained in detail- from One Who is wise, informed"

[Qur'an 11:01]

"....We have detailed the ayaats for people who remember."

[Qur'an 06:126]

"And We had certainly brought them a kitaab(book) which We detailed by knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe."

[Qur'an 07:52]

"Know that Allah revives the earth/land after it had died. We have made clear Our ayaats (verses/signs) for you, that you may understand."

[Qur'an 57:17]

"This Qur'an could not have been produced without Allah; but it is a confirmation for what was before it, and to give details of the kitaab in which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds."

[ Qur'an 10:37]

"And when Our clear ayaats were recited to them, those who do not wish to meet us said: 'Bring a Qur'an other than this, or change it !!' Say:' It is not for me to change it of my own accord, I simply follow what is inspired to me. I fear, if I disobeyed my Lord, the retribution of a great day !' "

[Qur'an 10:15]

So we see that God Himself perfected and detailed the kitaab with His knowledge. However, there are people who wants to change it or use some other kitaab (example: Bukhari/Abu dawood/etc). Let us look further into what God had to say:

"Ha mim. A revelation from the Almighty, the Merciful. A kitaab(book) whose ayaats are detailed, an Arabic Qur'an for a people who know. A bearer of good news, and a warner. But most of them turn away; they do not hear."

[Qur'an 41:01-04]

"Thus We have sent down clear ayaats and Allah guides whoever He wishes."

[ Qur'an 22:16]

"In their stories is a lesson for those who possess intelligence. It is not a narration tha has been invented, but an authentication of the existing, and a detail explanation of all things, and a guidance and a mercy for people those who believe."

[Qur'an 12:111]

"And the Day We send to every nation a witness against them from themselves, and We have brought you as a witness against these. and We have sent down to you the Book as a clarification for all things, and a guidance and a mercy and good tidings to those who have submitted."

[Qur'an 16:89]

"And We have repeated for humankind, in this Qur'an, every kind of example, but the majority of humankind do not consent to anything but denying."

[Qur'an 17:89]

"And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur'an from every example- that they might remember."

[Qur'an 39:27]

So God sends a book as clarification of all things, not a few, all things. Everything He wanted to address. However, we keep on rejecting that he explained and detailed. God surely states that he presented from every example but most would deny, do you deny ? Atleast the traditionalist scholars do deny. Let us look further.

"Say: 'Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He produced for His servants and the good things of His providing ? ' Say: These are meant for those who believe during worldy lives, and such on the day of ressurection, will only be for those who believed during the life of the world. Thus do We detail our ayaats for people who have knowledge."

[Qur'an 07:32]

"Surely those who conceal what We have sent down to them of the clarities and the guidance, after We had made it clear for the people in the kitaab(book); these will be cursed by Allah and be cursed by those who curse."

[Qur'an 02:159]

Very stong words in the above ayaat. When you say that God did not clarify for you His ayaats, in the above ayaat, we see that God curses such people and says that such people deserve cursing by those who curse. Yet would you say that God didnt clarify his ayaats because you cant find your innovations in His book ?

"Is it not enough for them that We have sent down to you the Kitaab(book) that is being recited to them ? In that is a mercy and reminder for people who believe."

[Qur'an 29:51]

So, wasnt this book enough for you too ??? If you say yes, you have to discard the hadiths that you inject into the book. If you say no, you are against this ayaat. So far, I have presented my views using the Qur'an, the highest source in the islamic world. What do we call someone who would reject these statements of God that I presented for the sake of worshipping Bukhari ? Let us see how my Lord puts the same question in His grand style:

"These are the ayaats of Allah that We recite to you with truth. In what Hadith(hadythim) after Allah and His ayaats do you believe ?"

[ Qur'an 45:06]

As for me, after Allah and His ayaats, I do not believe in any other narrations/hadiths. But the question is , do you ? What is your justification ? My justification is:

"Shall I seek other than God as a judge when He has sent down to you the Book fully detailed? Those to whom We have given the Book know it is sent down from your Lord with the truth; so do not be of those who have doubt."

[Qur'an 6:114]

No, I do not seek others as judge when the Lord of the universe has already given me a fully detailed Book. :) The question is, do you ?

Authentic Lies about messengers of God 3

Peace to the world,
This Student of Allah welcomes you to share the findings on lies attributed to messengers of God by the hadith narrators/collectors and their supporters. This is the 3rd post of this series. As usual, we will look into the so called "Authentic Hadiths" that are Authentic lies ,conjectures and are being promoted by the sheikhs/imams/scholars of Islam as truth in the name of the messenger of God. The topic is STONING TO DEATH (rajm).

The hadiths (from Sahih-Bukhari):

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 829 :

Narrated by 'Abdullah bin 'Umar

The Jews came to Allah's Apostle and told him that a man and a woman from amongst them had committed illegal sexual intercourse. Allah's Apostle said to them, "What do you find in the Torah (old Testament) about the legal punishment of Ar-rajm (stoning)?" They replied, (But) we announce their crime and lash them." Abdullah bin Salam said, "You are telling a lie; Torah contains the order of rajm." They brought and opened the Torah and one of them solaced his hand on the Verse of rajm and read the verses preceding and following it. Abdullah bin Salam said to him, "Lift your hand." When he lifted his hand, the Verse of rajm was written there. They said, "Muhammad has told the truth; the Torah has the Verse of rajm. The Prophet then gave the order that both of them should be stoned to death. ('Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "I saw the man leaning over the woman to shelter her from the stones."

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 79 :

Narrated by 'Abdullah bin Umar

The Jews brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from among them who had committed illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet said to them, "How do you usually punish the one amongst you who has committed illegal sexual intercourse?" They replied, "We blacken their faces with coal and beat them," He said, "Don't you find the order of Ar-rajm (i.e. stoning to death) in the Torah?" They replied, "We do not find anything in it." 'Abdullah bin Salam (after hearing this conversation) said to them. "You have told a lie! Bring here the Torah and recite it if you are truthful." (So the Jews brought the Torah). And the religious teacher who was teaching it to them, put his hand over the Verse of Ar-rajm and started reading what was written above and below the place hidden with his hand, but he did not read the Verse of Ar-rajm. 'Abdullah bin Salam removed his (i.e. the teacher's) hand from the Verse of Ar-rajm and said, "What is this?" So when the Jews saw that Verse, they said, "This is the Verse of Ar-rajm." So the Prophet ordered the two adulterers to be stoned to death, and they were stoned to death near the place where biers used to be placed near the Mosque. I saw her companion (i.e. the adulterer) bowing over her so as to protect her from the stones.

Volume 9, Book 92, Number 424 :

Narrated by Ibn 'Abbas

I used to teach Qur'an to 'Abdur-Rahman bin Auf. When Umar performed his last Hajj, 'Abdur-Rahman said (to me) at Mina, "Would that you had seen Chief of the believers today! A man came to him and said, "So-and-so has said, "If Chief of the Believers died, we will give the oath of allegiance to such-and-such person,' 'Umar said, 'I will get up tonight and warn those who want to usurp the people's rights.' I said, 'Do not do so, for the season (of Hajj) gathers the riffraff mob who will form the majority of your audience, and I am afraid that they will not understand (the meaning of) your saying properly and may spread (an incorrect statement) everywhere. You should wait till we reach Medina, the place of migration and the place of the Sunna (the Prophet's Traditions). There you will meet the companions of Allah's Apostle from the Muhajirin and the Ansar who will understand your statement and place it in its proper position' 'Umar said, 'By Allah, I shall do so the first time I stand (to address the people) in Medina.' When we reached Medina, 'Umar (in a Friday Khutba-sermon) said, "No doubt, Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed to him the Book (Quran), and among what was revealed, was the Verse of Ar-rajm (stoning adulterers to death).'" (See Hadith No. 817,Vol. 8)

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 633 :

Narrated by Ibn 'Umar

A Jew and Jewess were brought to the Prophet on a charge of committing an illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet asked the Jews, "What do you (usually) do with them?" They said, "We blacken their faces and disgrace them." He said, "Bring here the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful." They (fetched it and) came and asked a one-eyed man to recite. He went on reciting till he reached a portion on which he put his hand. The Prophet said, "Lift up your hand!" He lifted his hand up and behold, there appeared the verse of Ar-rajm (stoning of the adulterers to death). Then he said, "O Muhammad! They should be stoned to death but we conceal this Divine Law among ourselves." Then the Prophet ordered that the two sinners be stoned to death and, and they were stoned to death, and I saw the man protecting the woman from the stones. (See Hadith No. 809, Vol. 8)

Based on this, what the mullah/scholars/sheiks of Islam want to say is that Muhammad judged using other kitaab. When clearly , he was ordered to judge using Qur'an (5:48). Muhammad was given a law for adultery in the Qur'an. What this hadith followers want to say is that Muhammad asked not to follow that law. Let me present God's law from the Qur'an:

"The adulteress and the adulterer, you shall lash each of them with one hundred lashes, and do not let any pity overtake you regarding the system of God if you believe in God and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment."

[Qur'an 24:02]

So, the punishment according to God is 100 lashes, not stone to death. The hadith based scholars and imams argue saying that STONE TO DEATH is sunna. How ignorant a person must be to say that going against God's law is a sunnah of God's messenger. When God gives a law, He is aware of it. Let us see how the hadith follower sheikh/imam/scholar would fall in more trouble according to Qur'an:

"And whoever of you cannot afford to marry the independent female believers, then from those maintained by your oaths of the believing young women. And God is more aware of your faith, some of you to each other. You shall marry them with the permission of their parents and give them their dowries in kindness; to be independent, not for illicit sex or taking lovers. When they become independent, then any of them who come with lewdness shall have half of what is the punishment for those independent. This is for those who are concerned about deviating from among you. But if you are patient it is better for you, and God is Forgiver, Merciful."

[Qur'an 4:25]

So Allah COMMANDS that if the women you married was not independent, her punishment for illegal sex is halved. Now explain to me, if the punishment for adultery for married person is STONE TO DEATH, how you will half-StoneToDeath in this case ? Can you give someone half punishment of STONE TO DEATH ? That makes no sense. But unlike these liest the Qur'an does make sense. Here is how it does:

For independent person the punishment        = 100 lashing

For dependent person = half of independent = 100/2 = 50 lashing

Allah does not contradict his rules. So, when He gives a law, He is aware of its implication elsewhere in the kitaab. Who do you trust more ? God ? or your personal favourite scholar and sheikhs ?

Now that we have it out of the way, let me share how by following your sheikhs/imams you are more christian than a muslim. That is, let me expose these scholars a bit more.

What is the source of these brutal punishments and laws in the hadiths ?

 
” ‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife-with the wife of his neighbor-both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

[ Leviticus 20:10 ]

If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death?the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you. 

[Deuteronomy 22:23-24]

It is of no surprise, the source is the Holy Bible !!!!! The Qur'an never advises stoning to death, the only examples of stoning someone in the Qur'an are examples of what the KAFIRS do. Let me share them here with you:

They said: If you do not cease, O Noah, you will be of those who are stoned.

[Qur'an 26:116]

He said: Have you abandoned my gods O Abraham? If you do not stop this, I will stone you; and let me be.

[Qur'an 19:46]

If they discover you, they will stone you or return you to their creed. Then you will never be successful.

[Qur'an 18:20]

They said: We have welcomed you better than you deserve. If you do not cease, we will stone you, and you will receive a painful retribution from us!

[Qur'an 36:18]

They said: O Shuayb, we do not understand most of what you say, and we see you as weak among us; and if it were not for who your family is, we would have stoned you, and you would not be proud against us.

[Qur'an 11:91]

Therefore, in the Qur'an's literature, only the musriks (idol worshippers) STONE people. Please consider the Qur'an with care, and this lie about STONE TO DEATH being promoted by the devils wearing beard. If the laws about adultery (24:02 , 4:25) that I have shown in the Qur'an are not to be followed, what you are saying is that Bukhari and your scholars wrote a book which is superior to the book of God. You may not have said that with your tongue, but that is what you imply when you substitute Allah's ayaats with Bukhari's hadith. And if that is the way you judge, let me give you warning of the final day of which only God and God alone is the dominator.

All praise belongs to God.

Peace be on you

------------------------------------ Student of Allah

Did prophet Muhammad recieve revelations outside the Qur'an ?

Peace to the world,

The way traditional muslims (scholars too) try to justify their "writing the books with their own hands and claiming that its from Allah" is by tricking the non-suspecting masses  with statements such as "There are revelations beside the Qur'an that was given to Muhammad". To know the truth, one must atleast let the Qur'an speak on the subject of revelations. Let us begin by just doing that:

What was revealed to the prophet ?

Say, "What thing is greatest in testimony?" Say, " Allah is witness between me and you. And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches. Do you testify that with Allah there are other deities?" Say, "I will not testify." Say, "Indeed, He is but one God, and indeed, I am free of what you associate  ."

[Qur'an 6:19]

Revealed: Qur'an for the purpose of warning people and whoever the message reaches. The idea can be verified in other places of the Qur'an

Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book. Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand. We relate to you, the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur'an although you were, before it, among the unaware.

[Qur'an 12:1-3]

Revealed: Qur'an in arabic where God relates to the audience the best of story.

Nowhere in the Qur'an can one point out that God informs of external revelations given to the prophet to guide us. The scholars have used a verse from the Qur'an (53:3-4) to justify that the messenger does not say anything from himself, but Allah, which implies to the masses that whatever Muhammad spoke was revelation in one sense. Let us investigate the verse, but UNLIKE the scholars/sheikhs, let us atleast try to look at the context.

By the star when it descends,Your companion has not strayed, nor has he erred, Nor does he speak from  inclination.It is not but a revelation revealed, Taught to him by one intense in strength -

[Qur'an 53:1-5]

So, in context, God never said that whatever Muhammad says is a revelation inspired of God. God was telling the audience that the messenger is not mad or gone astray, the messenger was not speaking by himself but "IT" is a revelation from God. "IT" here can not be anything outside Qur'an. The verses  are not refering to "THEM", in that case, the scholars would atleast have a case to discuss. So even here, the revelation is the Qur'an. Another point to notice is 9:43 and 66:01. If we interprete 53:1-5 as "whatever prophet says is revelation (outside Qur'an )" then what about the following verses:

May Allah pardon you, ; why did you give them permission ?  until it was evident to you who were truthful and you knew  the liars.

[Qur'an 09:43]

So, here we see Allah pointing out that Muhammad gave a wrong command.

O Prophet, why do you prohibit what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

[Qur'an 66:01]

Here we observe that prophet made the mistake of forbidding something which Allah did not forbid.

My question is, if 53:1-5 means that whatever prophet ordered or did out of free-will is revelation from God, how can prophet make mistakes as shown in the above ayaats ? How can God tell Muhammad in one revelation to do something and in the Qur'an scold Muhammad for carrying out the order given in the other revelation ? Is your model of God schizophrenic ? In plain English, is God suffering from multiple personality disorder ? If not, ask your favourite scholars, why they interpret this ayaat in a way to degrade God.

Does the messenger act religious without Qur'anic revelation ?

The entire hadith based traditional Islam floats on judgements outside Qur'an. Qur'an bares witness that such hypocrites were present around Muhammad, who were not satisfied with the Qur'an and its judgements. Some even went as far as asking him to bring another Qur'an ( aren't the hadith collections just that ?) Let us consider the following ayaat as evidence:

And when you,  do not bring them a sign, they say, "Why have you not contrived it?" Say, "I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This is enlightenment from your Lord and guidance and mercy for a people who believe."

[Qur'an 7:203]

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Bring us a Qur'an other than this or change it." Say,  "It is not for me to change it on my own accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."

[Qur'an 10:15]

So, outside the revelations, the messenger can not provide solutions to your problems. Since the only revelation mentioned is the Qur'an, naturally the messenger was not there to teach anything outside the Qur'an.

Companions asking questions to prophet ?

Another popular explanation provided by the so called scholars/imams for the existance of outside qur'an religious teaching provided by Muhammad has to do with his companions (Sahaba). In this lie told by the scholars, it is said that when the companions asked Muhammad about certain things, Muhammad provided outside Qur'an teachings (ignoring the fact that he is just a man and God already found him faulty in 9:43,66:01). This lie is so much surprizing that it almost feels like these sheikhs/mufti/scholars are being paid to be deaf/dumb/blind when reading the Qur'an. It is shocking to note that Qur'an has ayaat on this specific subject matter. Here it is :

O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you. But if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be shown to you. Allah has pardoned that which is past; and Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing.

[Qur'an 5:101]

It is surprising how these so called scholars totally missed out this ayaat. This ayaat if seen in the light of 9:43 and 66:01 and the message of the Qur'an, confirms that only God can guide. So stop troubling the messenger with questions. The messenger is just a man. But if you ask when the revelation is ONLINE in status, if God wills, He will show it.

To conclude, the Qur'an clearly talks about ONE revelations, which is Itself. None of the classical understanding of the sholars can hold their grounds in the light of the few Qur'an ayaats that I spoke about in this article.

Authentic Lies about messengers of God 2

Peace to the world,

This Student of Allah welcomes you to share the findings on lies attributed to messengers of God by the hadith narrators/collectors and their supporters. This is the second post of this series. As usual, we will look into the so called "Authentic Hadiths" that are Authentic lies ,conjectures and are being promoted by the sheikhs/imams/scholars of Islam as truth in the name of the messenger of God.

The hadith we wish to explore is about Dajjal(the one eyed anti-christ). Even though the very idea is not from Qur'an, it is indeed interesting to see the authentic hadith collections contradicting themselves as they try to narrate lies about the messenger of God.

Which eye of Dajjal is blind ?

1. Left eye according to Sahih-Muslim [Book 041, Number 7010]


 "Hudhalfa reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Dajjal is blind of left eye with thick hair and there would be a garden and fire with him and his fire would be a garden and his garden would be fire.   "


2. Right eye according to Sahih-Muslim [Book 041, Number 7005]
"Ibn Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). made a mention of Dajjil in the presence of the people and said: Allah is not one-eyed and behold that Dajjal is blind of the right eye and his eye would be like a floating grape. "

My answer is that "Your both eyes are blind" if you follow these books full of contradictions and baseless Hadiths attributed to the Prophet. These criminals follow books other than Qur'an and land into these wierd PAGAN ideas. Their problems have been addressed by the Qur'an:

"What is wrong with you, how do you judge ? Or do you have a book which you study ?"
[Qur'an 68:36-37]

Surely, these scholars of islam promoting hadiths as a source of ISLAM beside the Qur'an are having other books beside the Qur'an. No matter what we say to these scholars, hadith collectors are seen by them as provider of the truth. One is not even allowed to challenge these scholars in traditional islam. Are they gods ? Otherwise why cant we challenge them ? Are they partners of God ? These collections of hadith are full of contradiction and errors . They contradict with Qur'an, common sense, and worst of all is that they contradict even with themselve (As demonstrated in this post about the eye of dajjal). For the people that follow such conjecture filled collections and baseless narrations, God says in the qur'an :

"Certainly to God belongs all who are in heavens and those who are on earth. As for those who call on partners beside God, THEY FOLLOW CONJECTURE, and THEY ONLY GUESS."
[Qur'an 10:66]

Peace be with you

Authentic Lies about messengers of God 1

PEACE,

From a muslim's perspective on the HOLY MONTH of RAMADAN, things cant get any more Holy-er. Apart from ofcourse the Pilgrimage. Even the people that do not remember that they actually have a God seems to act religious all of a sudden. With that being said, we must look at the lies that are hidden in the so called "Authentic collections of Bukhari" about the prophet/messenger of God. Let me quote how obscenely disobedient Bukhari tried to potray the messenger of God.

"Aisha said, "Allah's Apostle used to kiss some of his wives while he was fasting," and then she smiled." "
[Bukhari Volume 3 Book 31 Hadith 150]

So the messenger used to kiss his wives while fasting. Which to me looks rather wierd (I will show you why). Let us explore more on the subject from the collection of hadith by Abu Dawood:

"Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
The Prophet used to kiss her and suck her tongue when he was fasting."
[Abu Dawood Book 13, #2380]

So, what these people are saying is that the prophet used to kiss and even go as far as sucking the tounges of his wives while he was fasting ? Let us compare this with what God said to Muhammad to do :

"It has been made lawful for you DURING THE NIGHT OF FASTING to approach your women sexually. They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them. God knows that you used to betray your souls so He has accepted your repentance, and forgiven you; now you may approach them and seek what God has written for you. And you may eat and drink until the white thread is distinct from the black thread of dawn; then you shall complete the fast until night; and do not approach them while you are devoted in the temples. These are the boundaries of God, so do not transgress them. IT IS THUS THAT ALLAH CLEARIFIES HIS REVELATIONS to the people who they may be righteous" [ Qur'an 2:187]

And you are telling me that the prophet could not learn self control, discipline and self-restraint in the time of fasting ??? Even after Allah clarifying his Ayaat about it ???? What on earth is wrong with people ? Who authorized these idiots ? It is so sad to see that people will ignore the Quran to agree with these perverts.

"What is wrong with you, how do you judge? Or do you have a book which you study? In it, you can find what you wish?" [Qur'an 68:36]

Yes Allah, they have other books that they study for religious matters, in it they find whatever they want. Since you did not allow these perverts to approach their women while fasting, they invented their own books to permit what you forbid them. Lies in the name of Allah and his messenger.

May Allah curse these perverts. God !!!! people just find out any way to break Allah's command, and other blind fools obey like blind idiots.

Blindness is not the way to go, its through reason and logic that we must go forward. If you agree or disagree with my views, please feel free to comment.

Authentic Lies about messengers of God

Peace be with you,

I have been studying various forms of literature on Islam for long time now. I may not have been fortunate to know everything about everything, or even everything about something for that matter. But I have been able to observe the conjecture/fabrication/hypocrisy of the Imams/mullahs/sheiks/scholars of Islam. The top favourite method of these scholars and their blind herd of lambs is to quote from traditions of Muhammad collected by Bukhari/Muslim/Abu Dawood/etc. I wish to explore the ideas of "Science of Hadith", but not in this series, that will be yet another new series. In this series (Authentic lies about messengers of God), I wish to expose the hadiths from these "authentic" sources such as Bukhari/Muslim/etc.

The method will be pretty simple:
1. The hadith with references
2. Comparison with Qur'an with references
3. May by my "opinions" on the matter with commentary.

I hope this helps in educating my fellow muslims/non-muslims. The series will run as "Authentic Lies about messengers of God 1/2/3/4/so on.

UPDATE: The series is running already and the following episodes area available (click to read):
1. Authentic Lies about messenger of God 1
2. Authentic Lies about messenger of God 2
3. Authentic Lies about messenger of God 3
