But you forget…The Quran is what came from the Prophet’s mouth. Hadith & Sunnah came afterward from Bukhari. They are not from the prophet. They are 200 year old fabrications falsely attributed to Muhammad. When Muhammad was alive he had ONLY the Quran. THAT is what he followed. Chronology doesn’t lie.
So, if you obey the Quran that GOD gave to the prophet, you are obeying the messenger. If you obey what came 200 years after the prophet from Bukhari, Hanbal, and Ahmed, then you are obeying Bukhari, Hanbal, and Ahmed. Why muslims defend these rumors over the Quran truly amaze me. Here are some consecutive Quranic verses that I’m sure will be rationalized away somehow to continue following lies.* Hadith & Sunna: Fabrications by the Prophet’s Enemies* [Quran 6:112] We have permitted the enemies of every prophet - human and jinn devils - to inspire in each other fancy words, in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications.
-
Important Criterion*
[6:113] This is to let the minds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter listen to such fabrications, and accept them, and thus expose their real convictions. -
Quran: Fully Detailed**
[6:114] Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed?* Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.
[6:115] The word of your Lord is complete, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
[6:116] If you obey the majority of people on earth, they will divert you from the path of GOD. They follow only conjecture; they only guess.
Praise GOD, here is the Quran saying Muhammad forbidden from uttering anything other than the Quran. Again, if history is a precursor to the future, than I expect the word of GOD (Quran) to be rationalized away again to maintain holding onto fabrications by Bukhari. [69:40] This is the utterance of an honorable messenger.
[69:41] Not the utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe.
[69:42] Nor the utterance of a soothsayer; rarely do you take heed.
[69:43] A revelation from the Lord of the universe.
**[69:44] Had he uttered any other teachings. ****
[69:45] We would have punished him. **
**[69:46] We would have stopped the revelations to him. **
[69:47] None of you could have helped him.
[69:48] This is a reminder for the righteous.
As well, here is what GOD says in the Quran, prophet would say to the people. Again, I expect these Quranic verses to abrogated and rationalized away to maintain disobedience of GOD and His messengers. [3:77] As for those who trade away GOD’s covenant, and their obligations, for a cheap price, they receive no share in the Hereafter. GOD will not speak to them, nor look at them, on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They have incurred a painful retribution.
[3:78] **Among them are those who twist their tongues to imitate the scripture, that you may think it is from the scripture, when it is not from the scripture, and they claim that it is from GOD, when it is not from GOD. Thus, they utter lies and attribute them to GOD, knowingly. **
[3:79] Never would a human being whom GOD blessed with the scripture and prophethood say to the people, "Idolize me beside GOD." Instead, (he would say), “Devote yourselves absolutely to your Lord alone,” according to the scripture you preach and the teachings you learn.
[3:80] Nor would he command you to idolize the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he exhort you to disbelieve after becoming Muslims? **
Islam IS NOT about the prophet. It is about GOD. I am actually inviting you to repent to GOD, and come back to the Quran, as decreed in Quran. You must refrain from mention the prophet alongside GOD. If you cannot mention GOD without Muhammad (eg: Azhan, Shahada, see Quran 53:1-3) and be satisfied, you should really reflect long and hard on the next Quranic verse below. Remember, GOD NEVER lies!! [Quran 39:45] When GOD ALONE is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they become satisfied.**
There is only ONE GOD, worship HIM alone, if you are really believers.
Peace
