    Now, can I ask you

    Did the companions of the prophet break out into war after his death, with Ali VS Abu Bakr fighting?

    YES! Do you want details? It was Ali and huzoor's most beloved and only virgin wife Aisha who had dispute. Both used to dislike each other for some reason even when huzoor was alive.

    Shall I seek as a source of law other than God's revelations which are made clear, distinct?

    Yes! nope

    Where in the Quran does God approve Bukhari as a source? 348 shows Allah approving Kitab, Hikma, Injeel and Taurat, 544 directly commands/commanded Jews to follow their own taurat. I can't find any reference to Bukhari anywhere. If it is found in Quran, please tell me. One condition - to find it must not require a calculator.

    Like you have never read in quran that obey Allah and obey huzoor?

    May God give some wisdom to you.

      Salaam OPF,

      Typical tactic. Those are, as you know, significant/time-consuming/distinct arguments/debates in themselves. The thing is, all of those have had several solutions from the Quran, but all that remains is to seperate the wheat from the chaff.

      It has been 1400 years and nothing comes from your camp. How much more time to wait? As for the different explanations from the Qur'an, then I do have a question How many different versions do you expect the prophet to have prayed? Will you take his example or prefer to get lost in search of the Ayat of the Qur'an.

      By reversal of your logic, you are effectively accusing them (as in those who have put forward Quranic descriptions of those acts) of spreading falsehood, quite a significant accusation. Also, by ignoring those solutions, and claiming "there is no solution from the Quran", you are undermining their efforts, and also, spreading your own falsehood (if you claim as such).

      I will not accuse a sincere person of spreading falsehood. As for those who reveal dishonesty as in playing linguistic manipulations of the Qur'an, then yes. However, their business is with God not with me. Also, I do not claim that there is no solution from the Qur'an. If the authentic hadeeth explains the Qur'an then the solution is in the Qur'an, explained through authentic hadeeths. Is there evidence that depending on linguistics alone will not lead to the best understanding? Yes, when people do not know how to pray or perform hajj or Zakat. You may say, but we have several options that we are contemplating. The answer is still no. Why? because if the Qur'an is clear to you guys, then one would expect a consensus on those essential simple matters, but there is no consensus in sight, why?

      1- Either that the Qur'an needs other tools to clarify it.
      2- The Qur'an not as detailed as you think.
      3- Your whole movement is based on manipulations and bias, and when the people's bias is at work without restraint, then there is no hope of consensus.
      4- None of you has the minimum needed to understand the Qur'an?

      Now, can I ask you

      Did the companions of the prophet break out into war after his death, with Ali VS Abu Bakr fighting?

      Ali and Abu Bakr did not fight. However, no one is perfect and if they erred after the messenger, then that does not make you or anyone here a better person. A little self introspection is needed. Many messengers made mistakes, so why would one expect more from their followers.

      Shall I seek as a source of law other than God's revelations which are made clear, distinct?
      Where in the Quran does God approve Bukhari as a source?

      God did not mention Bukhari, but he said in 44 places to obey the messenger. This means that wherever you arrive at a conclusion that the messenger ordered something, whether in the Qur'an or not, Bukhari or not, then you obey it.

      348 shows Allah approving Kitab, Hikma, Injeel and Taurat, 544 directly commands/commanded Jews to follow their own taurat.

      God sent the Taurah and sent messengers one after another to rule the Israelites by the rules of the Taurat and to explain it to the people over hundreds of years. The writings of those other messengers and orders were not Taurah, but they ruled by the taurat, and they explained it to the people. Those writings are part of the old testament itself.

      So, the people of the Taurah obeyed the messengers in their lives and they still do after their death through readings the different writings and rulings of all the hebrew messengers up to Jesus.

      Take care and have a great day.

      Hussein

        what's the obsession with muhammad, now I wanna know how moses prayed, how abraham prayed. I think I would be more interested in someone who spoke to God, and someone who is God's beloved friend. If his example was so bloody important, maybe just maybe it would be in the Quran, oh right, God is ever forgetful isn't he? Bukhari keeps him in line!

        1- Either that the Qur'an needs other tools to clarify it.
        2- The Qur'an not as detailed as you think.
        3- Your whole movement is based on manipulations and bias, and when the people's bias is at work without restraint, then there is no hope of consensus.
        4- None of you has the minimum needed to understand the Qur'an?

        1. Or the quran lies about itself being complete, fully-detailed, perfect. Therefore shouldn't be part of YOUR deen either, since it lies right? if it says its fully-detailed either it must be fully-detailed or its a bloody lie

        2. Or as you think; The quran is a guide. A guide pushes you into the right direction and doesn't hold your hand for you.

        3. you mean yours aren't?! Look in the mirror sometime

        God did not mention Bukhari, but he said in 44 places to obey the messenger. This means that wherever you arrive at a conclusion that the messenger ordered something, whether in the Qur'an or not, Bukhari or not, then you obey it.

        so obey moses, abraham, and jesus be fair now. OF course, muhammad is the only messenger that EVER existed.

          The logic is perfectly valid unless you try and make a strawman argument out of it as seen here

          Now, can I ask you

            Salam,

            I do not know 1400 years of history so I cannot comment. Secondly, presumably the correct method -. I think one important aya on this matter, in any case, is 1959, applicable to all. Yes, I'll take his example, so long as his example does not ridicule him and Islam.

            I will not accuse a sincere person of spreading falsehood. As for those who reveal dishonesty as in playing linguistic manipulations of the Qur'an, then yes. However, their business is with God not with me. Also, I do not claim that there is no solution from the Qur'an. If the authentic hadeeth explains the Qur'an then the solution is in the Qur'an, explained through authentic hadeeths.

            Please do not dodge the argument, you are not Agent Smith. This is on a tangent from the original topic - who is "sincere"? As for hadeeth, you know very well that I specifically meant the Quran by itself.

            Is there evidence that depending on linguistics alone will not lead to the best understanding? Yes, when people do not know how to pray or perform hajj or Zakat. You may say, but we have several options that we are contemplating. The answer is still no. Why? because if the Qur'an is clear to you guys, then one would expect a consensus on those essential simple matters, but there is no consensus in sight, why?

            You are correct, which is why we throw logic, and cross-referencing into the mix, and all the other tools of study, physical or conceptual. Why is there no consensus? Clearly because some people simply cannot and will not let go of the traditional ritual. As far as I see, there is person/school of thought X saying it is spiritual and person/school of thought Y saying it is ritual.

            1- Either that the Qur'an needs other tools to clarify it.
            2- The Qur'an not as detailed as you think.
            3- Your whole movement is based on manipulations and bias, and when the people's bias is at work without restraint, then there is no hope of consensus.
            4- None of you has the minimum needed to understand the Qur'an?

            1 - Of course it does. As long as it isn't stamped into the brains of every single person in the world, and as long as it is written in Arabic, or any language, or even written or transmitted linguistically, it will always need other tools. The item of dispute, of course, is whether the ahadeeth are a valid tool.

            2 - No. Unless you have become kaffir, rejecting that the Quran is detailed? The Quran is clearly detailed in its message, all else is left for people to decide for themselves and extrapolate from the book - the exact same technique used in the Sunni world sans hadeeth, if you remember.

            3 - I will argue that every movement is based on manipulations and bias. If it isn't stretching Quran, it is stretching a hadeeth round to the point it becomes a wormhole. Seen any flying horses, by the way?

            4 - Lack of manpower, the main issue. I will say you are correct. However, clearly everyone here has the tools to see a disproportionate number of hadeeth simply cannot be in line with the Quran, and hence that drags down the entire body.

            Ali and Abu Bakr did not fight. However, no one is perfect and if they erred after the messenger, then that does not make you or anyone here a better person. A little self introspection is needed. Many messengers made mistakes, so why would one expect more from their followers.

            Why the Sunni/Shia rift then? Can you explain? The battles of Jamal and Siffin? If these companions themselves had weaknesses and a lack of consensus, how does that preserve the stability of the Quranic message (including the "sunnah&quot which you previously said was transmitted through these people? Do you believe Aisha and Ali (strangely enough, less talkative than the ever prolific Abu Hurairah) would be unbiased in their transmissions? Especially regarding such events? One would be inclined to believe that the people the Almighty depended on for transmission of Islam had love and mercy between themselves regardless of the messenger - 863-64.

            God did not mention Bukhari, but he said in 44 places to obey the messenger. This means that wherever you arrive at a conclusion that the messenger ordered something, whether in the Qur'an or not, Bukhari or not, then you obey it.

            So why should I follow Bukhari, in fact, why should I follow any idle talk, vain discourse, baseless hearsay, you know, " ", texts which do indeed mislead from the correct path (stoning, death for apostasy, amputation, paganism), when I have " " sitting here in front of me, which also shows everything (significant) the messenger did?

            Also, a saying of the messenger

            If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. -- Deuteronomy 2118-21

            Again, I ask Allah mentions books other than the Quran as evidenced/referenced previously, why is Bukhari not mentioned as guidance when these are? If you do not know the answer, do not beat around the bush and use inconsistent logic to push out an answer like an overweight baby, simply say the words "I do not know". We are all human.

            God sent the Taurah and sent messengers one after another to rule the Israelites by the rules of the Taurat and to explain it to the people over hundreds of years. The writings of those other messengers and orders were not Taurah, but they ruled by the taurat, and they explained it to the people. Those writings are part of the old testament itself.

            I see. So Rashad Khalifa et al could never explain the Quran after the final Holy Prophet? but Moses had successors. Not that Rashad Khalifa is relevant as a messenger, this is simply an example. Now, can you explain why Allah decides to leave out details for the Taurat and left the job to messengers to explain, whereas Allah claims "this book is explained in detail" (6114, amongst others) and the messenger is said "I do not say aught of my own will" (650 - also many hadeeth contradict this) and that if the messenger were to invent any baseless hadith in Allah's name, he would be killed/silenced (6944)?

            So, the people of the Taurah obeyed the messengers in their lives and they still do after their death through readings the different writings and rulings of all the hebrew messengers up to Jesus.

            Which, of course, explains the need for two more authentic revelations. Of course, Jews already have their own ahadeeth, called the Talmud. Christians have Sahih-Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to follow on top. Can it be taken that Allah never orders us to follow the texts inside Bukhari and Muslim, BUT orders us to follow the text inside the Quran, which is detailed/distinct?

              All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                Why do Quranists always talk without Reference

                Sorry, I retract that, I could not find a source which in modern days, the author and his idealogy could not be considered schizophrenic or had delusions/hallucinations or otherwise on crack, LSD, or in any state of mind incompatible with salat.

                If you really wish...

                http//www.al-islam.org/encyclopedia/chapter4/5.html

                "O' daughter of the Prophet! I didn't love anyone as much as I
                loved your father, nor anyone after him is more loving to me as
                you are. But I swear by Allah that if these people assemble
                here with you, then this love of mine would not prevent me from
                setting your house on fire."

                Oh, how kind! Free central heating for Fatima! She will be warm for the rest of her life!

                  It seems you are online, our beloved brother D )

                  http//quemaster.com/matrix/images/photos/matrix07.JPG

                  If you remember, I asked your opinion of 316. Specifically, why is "" in this verse not untranslated, in the same way it is not untranslated throughout the Quran, yet out of the Quran it is? Also, what does this verse entail?

                  Now, being a learner of Arabic, I also wish to ask what "" in 413 and another form in 6114 means. According to these bumbling fools here, it means "fully detailed", but how can it be when I need to know how Huzoor trimmed his beard, a detail not found in the Quran?

                  Finally, the most important one. Did the prophets(P.B.U.T.) say "amen" in their prayers/salat? For instance, after reciting Al-Fateha? What did Abraham say, " "? What did he do after prostration in the second, and fourth rakats of 4-rakat prayers, and in the 2nd and 3rd rakats of 3-rakat prayers?

                  WITH REFERENCE, PLEASE.
                  Note Transmitter of source should not be schizophrenic or delusional, or on crack, or other drugs/syndromes which cloud the mind. Examples of this entail the idea of walking several thousand miles through the desert to put up a cube when there were many similar artefacts already built.

                    all those I have encountered uptill now ,no one gives any reference.One guy gave Lisan ul Arab reference and unfortunately that was wrong reference.
                    Then generalization is justified.

                      Peace Leoxyz,

                      What has been said that you need us to reference. In Sha Allah if it makes you understand our position better I am sure there are a number of people who would help you hunt down some reference etc. But if you do not wish to learn and merely want to mock us then no-one would wish to find references for you and waste their time. So what do you need explained? ???

                        If someone comes up authentically ,I will become pretty serious because I am also a learner.But when I see wrong things are being posted without being backed up by proper reference ,I get upset.
                        See how many post actual arabic text of the Quran ??

                          I am not an Arabic expert so I'm afraid nothing I post will be authentic. However If we can discuss the verse in English and you can explain the Arabic meaning maybe we can progress somewhere?

                          Salaam

                            But if you do not wish to learn and merely want to mock us then no-one would wish to find references for you and waste their time.

                            not many are going to waste their time repsonding to somebody who doesn't answer any of our questions and continues asking questions like a parrot. It's frustrating and a waste of time, I've personally stopped taking this guy seriously.

                              No reply?

                              Could I expect anything less?

                                  Seen too many of those come and go. Ah well.

                                    Peace to all
                                    Did Muhammad (PBUH) exist?
                                    What was his father's name ?
                                    When did he start getting revelation ?
                                    How did he spend his days and nights?
                                    How many wives did he have?
                                    Did Battle of Badar & Uhad take place ?
                                    How did Muhammad (PBUH) used to say Salat ? (How many times /day) and How many Rakaat were there in each Salaat?
                                    Was ther "Adhaan" before each Salaat or not at his time?
                                    If Adhaan was there how were its words compiled ?

                                    Please answer these questions ,rest will come forward.
                                    With reference please.

                                    Salam.

                                    Yes, prophet Muhammad existed, what would "they"gain by making up a man and prolonging his existance so long?

                                    Is Muhammad's father's name really that important to me and you, to us, to our children, grandchildren, to those in the year 4047?

                                    Again, same as before.

                                    How did prophet Muhammad, who lived in the world of sand and attacks spend his days and nights? Well, he never experienced pressure of working from 0900 to 1700, right? He lived better life then us on some levels. I respect him because he survived the world, the life, the wars and the evil, without Secret Service, bulletproof vest, AK-47 and without any pills. I truly respect him.

                                    He must have had more then one wife and less then 4. He cannot go against the Law of The God, right?

                                    Prophets had many battles. They didn't have the time to write it down on Wikipedia.

                                    Prophet Muhammad followed The Quran as much as one man can.

                                    They called to the prayer, prayed and went on with their businesses.

                                    Peace.

                                        Peace,

                                        WHY do we have to answer simple questions like the ones in the first post of this thread? Why?

                                        When one sits down to think about the Creation... , the diversity of everything, the force of life and how life goes on and develops, the human mind, constructive things that bring good things such as kindness, truthfullness, honesty, helpfullness, justice, love and gratitude, our short lives, past civilizations, millions of years, the vastness of our planet, the solarsystem, the universe, God's incomprehendable greatness and nature, the afterlife, what we were before we came to Earth, the nature of our souls, spirits and bodies.. how small we humans are, incomparable to the Creator... .... ... then it doesn?t seem very crucial whether some prophet held left or right hand on his head while urinating squatting. Compared (which you really can?t anyway) to God and Life, even prophets seem disappearingly small. What are prophets? They are nothing but human beings that had enough goodness, skill and light in them to be able to delivere God?s message. They were just humans! What are humans "compared" to God? NOTHING!!!! Nothing at all! Yet we see the masses insist on elevating other human beings so much that those prophets/sons of God/saints etc become the central part of their lives. Whether they think these prophets etc are actually divine or not, doesn?t matter.. because in each case, humans give these prophets such an attention that ONLY suits GOD. This is idol worship. Why does muhammads name always hang next to God's name in mosques? Why does muhammad have 99 names just like God? WHY?

                                        Why this overemphasis on everything EXCEPT God???

                                        (the answer lies with God)

                                          They said "Have you come to us to serve God alone and abandon what our fathers had served? Bring us what you promise if you are of the truthful ones!"

                                          And if God Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter become repulsed. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they rejoice!

                                          This is because when God Alone was mentioned, you rejected, but when partners were associated with Him, you believed. Therefore, the judgment is for God, the Most High, the Great.
