Re: Compariosn Between Qur’an and Hadith
The Quran is definitely the ultimate book of guidance for all of us. Hadith only elaborates and simplifies the subtle ‘ahkamaat’ given by Allah. Allah says
**“O mankind! Verily, there has come to you the Messenger (Muhammad) with the truth from your Rabb (Sustainer). So believe in him, it is better for you. But if you disbelieve, then certainly to Allâh belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. And Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.” (Quran 4: 170)
“O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger (Muhammad) and render not vain your deeds.” (Quran 47: 33)
**This clearly emphasizes the importance of Hadith and Sunnah in our lives. What we could try to do is that at least follow all the Sahih hadith and believe in them. Especially those reported by the immediate Companions of Prophet Muhammad SAW. As for all za’eef hadith if they contradict the Quran and Sunnah they should not hold any merit.
But IMO..Quran and Hadith both go together. Hadith and SUnnah are just the practical application of Quranic teachings. Thirdly our own ‘qiyaas’ too should play a major role in reaching various decisions of our lives too.
A quick question, how does that reference from the quran say anything about hadith and its importance? To me it seems to be more about believing in the prophet (pbuh) and accepting his message of Islam being the true religion etc rather than hinting at anything to do with hadith. Perhaps its just about how its interpreted!?
