Certainly. Lets start with the 4 sacred months according to Hadith and then according to Quran.
The Sacred Months according to the majority of the Muslim World are Rajab, Zul-Qe`dah, Zul-Hijjah, and Muharram (7th, 11th, 12th and 1st months of the Islamic Calendar) according to their ‘authentic’ hadith reproduced below.
**Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said. “(The division of time has turned to its original form which was current when Allah created the Heavens and the Earths. The year is of twelve months, out of which four months are sacred: Three are in succession Dhul-Qa’ da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth is) Rajab of (the tribe of) Mudar which comes between Jumadi-ath-Thaniyah and Sha ban.”
Sahih Bukhari, Book 54:Volume 4, Book 54, Number 419**
As you can see, the Sacred Months are not consecutive, but split up.
Sacred Months According to the Quran
A careful study of the Quran shows the Sacred Months should be Zul-Hijjah, Muharram, Safar, and Rabi I (12th, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months). We learn from Sura 9, verses 1-5 that these months are correct because they are consecutive.
**[9:1]An ultimatum is herein issuedfrom GOD and His messenger to the idol worshipers who enter into a treaty with you. **
**[9:2] Therefore, roam the earth freely for four months, and know that you cannot escape from GOD, and that GOD humiliates the disbelievers. **
[9:3] A proclamation is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to all the people on the great day of pilgrimage, that GOD has disowned the idol worshipers, and so did His messenger. Thus, if you repent, it would be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you can never escape from GOD. Promise those who disbelieve a painful retribution.
**[9:4] If the idol worshipers sign a peace treaty with you, and do not violate it, nor band together with others against you, you shall fulfill your treaty with them until the expiration date. GOD loves the righteous. **
[9:5] Once the Sacred Months are past, (and they refuse to make peace) you may kill the idol worshipers when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make. If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), you shall let them go. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful. **
As you can see, an ultimatum was issued from GOD and His messenger to the idol worshipers on the ‘great day of pilgrimage’ or Hajj. From that moment, they were permitted to roam the earth freely for 4 months. Then, GOD says that once the ‘SACRED MONTHS ARE PASSED’ you may kill the idol worshipers if they haven’t signed a peace treaty with you. Hajj starts in the month of Zul-Hijjah (12), and the sacred months are 4 consecutive months after that.** Therefore, Zul-Hijjah, Muharram, Safar, and Rabi I (12th, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months) are the 4 Sacred Months.
So, the entire Muslim world has altered the Sacred months. Knowing this information, Sura 9, verse 37 becomes crystal clear those who follow the hadith over the Quran are demonstrating excessive disbelief in GOD and the Quran. [9:37]Altering the Sacred Months is a sign of excessive disbelief; it augments the straying of those who have disbelieved. They alternate the Sacred Months and the regular months, while preserving the number of months consecrated by GOD. They thus violate what GOD has consecrated. Their evil works are adorned in their eyes. GOD does not guide the disbelieving people.
The fact the Quran states what the 4 Sacred months are. Then, 22 verses later GOD informs us that those who change the sacred months, while maintaining the total number of months (4) is a sign of EXCESSIVE disbelief, and this is EXACTLY what has happened in the Islamic world! These verses are NOT multi-meaning verses. They are very, very clear. For those who do not speak Arabic, take any translation and you will see the meaning is the same.
So, I ask you USResident…who is correct? The so-called ‘scholars’ who uphold hadiths that caused the innovation in the first place, or GOD and HIS revelations (Quran) delivered through the Prophet Muhammad? Naturally, GOD is correct. If you say otherwise, you are justifying an innovation. An innovation GOD knew would happen (Sura 9, verse 37) after the Prophet died. An innovation created ONLY in hadiths that dictates excessive disbelief (according to GOD in Quran).
Keep in mind, this is not my opinion. The information is straight from the Quran. So, if you say this is my own interpretation, you are simply diverting attention from the fact that you have no argument against the Word of GOD (Quran).
