Re: Why some things are missing from Quran ?
The age old mystery I guess but some people (as on this thread) are convinced otherwise…
TLK bro, claiming “things that he said on his own and when Allah saw the need, Allah corrected him, and where Allah did not correct him means that his saying or doing of that time was in accordance to Allah’s will” is quite a stretch of the imagination (as always the case with apologists of Tradition) in defense of the questions raised regarding the Qur’an, sorry. That is my opinion…
BTW my opinion does not imply fallibility of the Qur’an. I will end it at that.
I am just trying to understand and come up with some argument to quite my naffs down.
Quran does not make somethings specifically haram e.g alcohol although blood , pig meat are specifically made haram.
It is hadees which tells us that alcohol is haram. But then we read in Quran that prophet cannot make anything haram which is not made haram by Allah.
Accepting interest is specifically made haram but paying interest is not made haram specifically.
It is from hadees we find out that accepting and paying interest both are haram.
Death by stoning for rapists and out of wedlock sex is not prescribed in Quran specifically.
It is from hadees that we find evidence for death by stoning for these crimes.
Same thing for prohibition for music and wearing of silk dress and gold for men.
Quran says that Prophet(SAW) never spoke anything on his own . He only said what all willed him to say. This is what is used as an evidence for all of the above prohibitions and death by stoning.
But I am sure this does not apply to many many things which prophet(SAW) said and did. Right ?
There are those who say and Prophet (SAW) used to receive open and secret revelations . How do we know which revelations were secret ?
The mere proof that books of hadees have those revelations is not enough as hadees are fallible , one sect will take one hadees as authentic the other sect will not.
Is it all part of the big test that Allah wanted all this to be this way ? What is the proof of that argument ?
So my dear friends help me understand all this. Jazzak Allah Hul Khair.
P.S: Please avoid hate , finger pointing , generalizations , stereotyping and let us have a civilized discussion.
