Re: Mutawatir Ahadith superceding Holy Quran's Ayats
Actually i suppose what khanbabax is trying to say is that we have to understand Quran how the jurists used to understand it. we do not have a right to use our minds.
Are we kind of some cult? i am a sunni but i have found the sunnies to be the most unreasonable lot of all muslims. Shias at least allow Ijtehad, sunnies stopped it. Sunnies have virtually turned Islam into a drill without any soul.
any way sahabas were much more flexible in understanding of Quran and implementing Quranic laws on verbatim. Hazrat Umar made jails and stopped cutting hands etc on the basis Islamic society needs to be established in other domains first to justify punishing on Quranic verdicts. He understood in totality and context. we take out of quote and verbatim. We are fond of implementing punishments first and think that Islamic society will be created.
