Re: Real Islam vs Mullahism
I agree with you when you say a lot of Clerics today are quite ignorant, in my opnion they need to acquire both religious and secular knowledge and an understanding of the socities they serve in to be effective and answer questions.
I also agree with you that it is important to understand the context and situation each Koranic verse or Sunnah Hadith applies to but I disagree with you when you think you can just reject any Hadith or verse based on your personal whim, desire, incomplete knowledge and limited wisdom rather than it being proven to be false or weak through Ahadeeth Science.
Your incomplete knowledge of the Ahadeeth you posted is evident, it's not intellectual to simply disregard everything you don't understand, you have to be sincere in gaining knowledge and finding answers, sincere people always get hikmah (wisdom) from Allaah, insincere people who would much rather Islaam was proved wrong so that they can reject all or part of it so that they become guilt-free to follow their whims, desires and lusts will be made deaf, dumb and blind by God because they are ingreatful, this is one of the miracles of the Koran, its mysteries can only be comprehended by those who approach it with a sincere and pure qalb, those that have malicious intentions, or have preconcieved opnions they'd rather support are kept under veils and never see the light..
Thanks for understanding the main point I am trying to make. Well that is my real intention of posting these thoughts and the reason we are here discussing these things in this forum and is to learn from each other. After all whatever we learnt in life is from people around me.
I need a little more time to study the points you are making regarding the specific hadith. However I have no shame in admitting where I am wrong and concede to any logical explaination. However in this case I shall revert to you after studying a little furthur.
Please keep in mind my main point regarding Hadiths. It is a matter of priorities. Hadiths have to be audited in the light of Quran and principals of suunah, not the other way around. After all the cart has to stay behind the horse....
