Good question, Apple. I'm wondering the same thing...especially the point about namaz. Most of the Muslims are not giving top priority to Quran........because they know that hadiths cannot be compared to Allah's book. However, we do know that some hadith are less authentic and sound than others. People are not replacing the Quran with hadith.......rather authentic hadith can be used SUPPLEMENT our knowledge that we get from Quran. It will interesting to see how submitmj answers this question.
I just read an article saying that Allah taught Abraham the procedure for salaat, fasting, hajj, etc.....and that this knowledge was preserved and passed on by Abraham and his descendants from generation to generation. Now......in this case.........it means that knowledge can spread through **word of mouth. **So....isn't that what hadith and Sunnah are based on?
Yes brother/sister!
These are actually Khawarej and Mu'tazela who want to put doubts in Islam and to divert the Muslims away from Islam. This is their target actually. Once they are able to remove the love of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from our hearts then it is easy for them to move forward.
But InshAllah they will never succeed.
