Re: Muslim Marine - anyone following him?
First of all you must understand that the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered the message of Islam in entirety – nothing was left out and nothing can be added to it.
From the passing away of the blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only liars and charlatans will a make claim to receive Wahi from Allah Almighty.
Allah Almighty will pronounce His Judgement on all matters on the Day of JUDGEMENT.
Till then the Muslims have to refer to the Quran and the Sunnah the blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to arrive at judgement on any matter.
That’s exactly the principle ‘Makkah Council’ used to arrive at their ruling.
Same principles were used against the false prophets in the earlier times; I am just naming a few. They all claimed to receive wahi.
