Hadith vs Quran

men” of the religion. These students literally waste their
time to learn all the details of living their lives in accordance
with the supposed sayings and deeds of the prophet.
The religious rules and regulations based on such innovations
contain and cover literally every aspect of life from walking, eating,
laughing, sleeping?almost anything one can think of. The rules such
as how to use the bathroom and what to do in there! The details
are too gross and shocking to mention.
Appalling Hadiths
There are even grosser sayings and deeds attributed to the prophet
regarding his sex life, preferences and sexual desires. Didn’t
these so called narrators have anything else to do but peek in the
Prophet’s private life? How could such perverse narrators
be considered reliable sources of information? These are the type
of people who produced such blasphemous and incredible lies against
a prophet of God! More incredible is the hypocrisy of the religious
“experts” who supposedly follow these lies out of love
and respect for the prophet!
There are also many silly things in the books of hadith such as
whether one should drink a glass of water standing or sitting? Why
should anyone care? Why are these kinds of irrelevant details important
to some people? Because these people are completely ignorant about
the essence of the religion of submission, and thus they think the
religion is a bunch of rules and regulations on the petty details
of life. They make the religion difficult for themselves while being
proud of having difficulties and misery as part of their devotion
to their “religion.” Which religion or god are they
devoting themselves to? It cannot be the same One who
|
clearly stated in the Quran that He
made the religion easy for us, that He did not reveal the Quran
to make things difficult for us (20:2).
Insult to Prophet Muhammad
Indeed, the hadith books are full of contradictions, subtle or
clear insults and blasphemies to Almighty God as well as the prophet
himself. What kind of a messenger would Muhammad be if he did or
said some of the things that were attributed to him? Muhammad lived
by the Quran and he was an example for us. Anyone who followed the
Quran which came through his mouth would not utter such blasphemous
or ridiculous sayings. Such sayings, of course, cannot be but plain
lies and conjecture. Would Muhammad ever blaspheme against God saying
that God created the heavens and the earth for his sake, and that
God’s throne was made up of his light? Would the prophet ever
ask people to praise himself, instead of praising God, the Almighty,
when the Quran clearly says that all praises belong to God? Never,
ever. This is clearly stated in the following verse:
Never would a human being whom GOD blessed with
the scripture and prophethood say to the people, "Idolize me
beside GOD." Instead, (he would say), "Devote yourselves
absolutely to your Lord alone," according to the scripture
you preach and the teachings you learn. [3:79]
God Does Not Run Out of Words
If God wanted to be more specific about how we must live our lives,
He could have sent down volumes and volumes of revelations on how
we should sleep, how we should cook, eat or drink, and which dress
we should wear and so on. He
|
surely tells us that if the oceans were
ink, and the trees were made into pens, He would not run out of
words (31:27). But it is God’s mercy that He wants us to follow
only what He specified in His revelations, and use our common sense,
knowledge and wisdom for the rest of the details of life. However
people insist on making their lives miserable as their so-called
religious leaders and “learned” scholars shackle them
with satanic teachings and innovations.
Hadith Exposed in the Quran
God condemns the hadith by name in the Quran, and informs us that
it is a blasphemous fabrication (45:6-7). He says that the Quran
is one consistent source since it’s His Word. There is no
contradiction in it. If it were from other than God, as hadith books
are, they would have found in it numerous contradictions (4:82).
Hadiths can be useful for historical perspective, but they should
not be used for establishing religious practices. Doing so does
not mean one dislikes or does not obey the prophet Muhammad. On
the contrary, it indicates that he or she respects him and God’s
revelations that came through his mouth. After all it is God we
are all supposed to please. The Quran teaches us that when the judgment
day comes and everything is brought forward, the prophet will be
disappointed by what has been done to the message that he delivered.
He will say, “my people have deserted the Quran” (25:30).
Therefore, following or upholding baseless hadiths is something
neither God nor His messengers want us to do:
