deene islam ki bunyaad sirf quraan hai yaa qurano sunnat?

Re: deene islam ki bunyaad sirf quraan hai yaa qurano sunnat?

azeezam kamikaze sb, yes I have but it does not mean what you are taking it to mean. Why not?

1)It is because the only ruler of this world is Allah not any human being be one messenger of Allah. This is clear message of the quran. It is only and only right of Allah to give law and he has in form of his revelations of which we have the final one ie the quran.

This is why in deen of islam no human being can rule other human beings. If we accept any other ruler than Allah then we are committing shirk ie we are associating partners with Allah in his kingdom. None has the right to rule even an atom or even its particles other than Allah. He created all things and each and everything belongs to him alone ie even a photon. So no one has any right over anything at all unless given by God himself for his own reason or purpose.

This means all other verses in the quran from which it may appear to us that anyone else may be our lord or master they need to be interpreted in light of these verses which cannot be challenged no mater what. If we do not do this then we introduce contradictions within the message of the quran.

2)It is of vital importance to remember that all messengers of Allah were human beings, nothing less nothing more. Human beings are prone to human errors.

The quran clearly quotes some events regarding messengers of Allah wherein they are criticised for falling short of what God required of them. You can read their stories in the quran. This is why a human being cannot be the standard of perfection instead it is word of Allah that is the standard because it is perfect and not prone to any mistakes or errors.

Since messengers of Allah did make odd mistakes here and there be it not deliberately including the final messenger of Allah therefore to follow their words and deeds blindly is not consistent with teaching of the quran. They are examples for rest of humanity only in things which they said or did according to the revelation of Allah. Where they ended up making any mistakes we are not supposed to follow them like blind people follow each other. If we follow anyone blindly independent of the quran then we are creating personality cults which lead us to sectarianism.

Words deen of islam only mean a label or name if we have no basis for it to begin with. If try to give it a base then it has to be the quran alone or we cannot base it upon the quran and sunnah or quran and hadis. The reason is explained already above ie the possibility of a messenger of Allah making a mistake. If we try to interpret the quran which is perfect through the information which is of doubtful origin or is mistaken then we can never end up with proper interpretation of the quran so we cannot have deen of islam to begin with. This is why we must accept the quran as basic source of deen of islam and interpret the quran by the quran in light of real world realities. The very idea that the quran should be interpreted through hadis or sunnah is a wrong idea because other sources themselves depend upon the proper understanding of the quran for their authenticity before they could be used for interpreting the quran. I hope this explanation helps you understand the issue better.

regards and all the best.
