Re: Question regarding fasting on 12th rabiu-awal
Well now that you know… The whole function of the verses that start with Qul was to instruct the prophet to answer a question word for word to the person who asked it. That IS AUTHENTIC HADITH (saying)… The verse “Obey Allah and obey the messenger” signifies this.
That should be the smoking gun, but do you want to ‘see’ the smoke?
The only thing written down by the scribes was the Quran… the evidence is in the Quran itself.
My prayer is in my actions and in my study of the scripture and implementing it, and in my effort to better myself and to commemorate the name of my Lord… that is Establishment of The Following or Iqaamat-is Salaah. Raka’a means to Become Humble or Strive towards Humility. Sajada means Submission in Complete Adoration. These words describe an attitude, not a physical posture.
Why is it that the five schools of thought have variations in their respective forms of the “Namaaz”, which is erroneously considered Salaat? The so-called books of hadith do not accurately describe the “namaaz” and hence these differences are apparent (and please do not tell me they do, because I have read the ‘sahaih sittah’).
All ‘religions’ have rituals to commemorate their God/Ma’buud. No nation has been punished for lack of rituals according to the Quran, and vice versa. They have been punished for abandoning their humility (commiting Taghuut), for establishing partners with God (commiting Shirk), and for violating human rights.
