Revisiting Abrogation

Re: Revisiting Abrogation

Logically it does make sense. Because revelations were within a very specific time period, while the time period between Injeel and torah and Quran is of centuries.

this is hardly convincing… Allah is allowed to abrogate verses if there’s a sufficient (unspecified!) time gap between revelations yet is not allowed to do so if the gap to us seems short…

leaving abrogation aside… how then should we understand the lightening of the burden when facing the enemy from a ratio of 1 to 10 down to 1 to 2 (see Qur’an, 8:65-66)?

Injeel abrogated Torah because it was imperfect (due to time specific teachings) and doubtful (due to changes made by the people over time).

clarifying a previously corrupted teaching (due to human tampering) isn’t abrogation, it’s correction…

If abrogation is to be considered even a viable concept in Islam, there must be some Hadiths about it. It is hard to imagine that AnHazoor (saw) didn’t mention at all that a certain verse should be discredited when it was abrogated.

do you accept abrogation within hadith?
