    Quantum1 I think you interpretation was very good. I understood it and it made sense to me. The problem I had with following the sunnah was all the contradictions and endless debating over stupid things like why we shouldn't eat ketchup etc.... Now I feel alot happier reading the Quran without any commentaries, and discovering for myself the true meaning of what Allah is saying to us. Today I was told that I could quite possibly be possessed by Devil because I reject all hadiths and only pray 3 times a day. I keep thinking maybe I am wrong, but my heart and logical mind just groans at the thought of going back to practising that way again. Thanks for the insight.
    Simone sun

    Aww Simone, I'm sorry to hear about that judgement you've received. That is pretty sad There is a whole lot of pressure exerted on those who stray from the majority path and as you've found, some of it is quite nasty indeed.

    Is there a hadith they are using to judge you as the devil? I've never heard that one before if there is.

    Anyway I would look it up but I don't have time. I'm busy trying to remember which foot to use so I can go to the toilet and getting rid of my ketchup before I get deemed hell-worthy Yes, I have important matters to deal with.

      Thanks Rana that was so funny. My sister who is not a Muslim says 'you make a very good point'. LOL I am glad to know that at least someone is on the same page as me. Great minds think alike!

        Salaam.

        Whoever tells you that sahih hadith by Bukhary and all those others are to be follow, show them this

        7185 Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that God has created? Perhaps their time is drawing near; so in which narrative after this one will they believe?

        316 And from the people, there are those who will purchase a baseless narrative with which to mislead from the path of God without knowledge, and to make it a mockery. These will have a humiliating retribution.

        They will say that Bukhary uses sahih hadith. God says He has given The Best hadith - The Qur'an. Who is right?
        3923 God has sent down the best narrative, a Book that is similar, dual. The skins of those who are concerned towards their Lord shiver from it, then their skins and their hearts soften up to the remembrance of God. Such is the guidance of God; He guides with it whoever He wills. And for whoever God misguides, then none can guide him.

        456 These are the revelations of God, We recite them to you with the truth. So, in which narrative after God and His revelations do they believe?

        There is a hadith that someone said he heard messenger Muhammad said that he leaves with us the Qur'an and something similar to it, right? Well, use this verse from The Creator

        5234 Let them produce a narrative like this, if they are truthful.

        6844 Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this narrative; We will entice them from where they do not perceive.

        One More Time
        7750 So in what narrative, after it, will they believe?

        Is there a book besides The Qur'an that we can use?

        6836 What is wrong with you, how do you judge?
        6837 Or do you have a book which you study?
        6838 In it, you can find what you wish?
        6839 Or do you have an oath from Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that you can judge as you please?
        6840 Ask them Who of them will make such a claim?
        6841 Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they are truthful.

        What would Allah SWT do to rasool Muhammad, if he did say those hadith besides The Qur'an?
        Let's see, let's read

        6938 So I do swear by what you see.
        6939 And what you do not see.
        6940 This is the utterance of an honorable messenger.
        6941 It is not the utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe.
        6942 Nor the utterance of a soothsayer; rarely do you take heed.
        6943 A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
        6944 And had he attributed anything falsely to Us.
        6945 We would have seized him by the right.
        6946 Then, We would have severed his life-line.
        6947 None of you would be able to prevent it.

        Also, you might wanna read through this

        God Bless you.

            The problem I come across is that Muslims I know, one in particular, always quote 'Obey Allah and His Messenger' 'fear Allah and obey me'. It gets to the point where I just give up, Although it all makes sense in my head and everything I am reading and learning, I am just not knowledgable enough to explain my position with any authority.

              Simone

              I'm going to give you my straight out opinion right now - this is how I feel at the moment. It will always come back to that - whether a person believes we have to follow hadith or not and the problem with that is that I can see how they reach that conclusion. If you interpret the Quran in a certain way then that is what it tells you. It certainly doesn't tell me that, but I feel pessimistic sometimes about arguing the point because I admit that I don't know that much and also most of the people I end up having this sort of conversation with don't know that much either. You can know plenty, but if you're talking to someone who just wants to stick to the belief they have then you will go nowhere.

              I guess that is what Allah meant 218 Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not revert.

              Plus they have such blanket statements to make which pretty much leave me unable to say anything I don't understand abrogation, Arabic, history and so on and on and on. In a way they have a point since real argument is dependent upon an understanding of how to translate the Quran and while that is possible for people, the reality is that it's going to be a long time before any great number of Muslims are doing that for themselves and waking up to the fact that they've been duped.

              In the meantime my guess is that many more will become non-practicing Muslims and even leave Islam because they don't connect (unconsciously) with the Islam that holds majority today. The still practicing Muslims will no doubt blame this on lack of faith, the influence of the west and the deserters "lack of understanding".

                I am a convert and to me it is very plain if my conscience and honest feeling and thinking took me to islam, now, after I am a Muslim, honest conscience feeling nd thinking must be suspended in order tht I can follow somebody else's conscience, feeling and thinking? Why shouldn't I then have stayed where I was and where I was told what I had to believe and what not? Itis shockingly self-serving and club-like. Sometime it feels just like tht, tht youhve to accept the club rules in order to be in. But religion is not a club. It is a lien which is based on sincerity towards oneself and the others. As a hadith says "religion is sincerity", or something of the sort. And I put a hadith, because this one, like many others, I consider valuable, not because it comes from the Prophet, which it could or could not, but because what it says has a sense, a meaning and a teaching. And that is what I uphold, that he same as I choose Islam because I found the Qur'an convincing, whay should I follow any other criteria when dealing with hadith or with whatever? It is content that decides, not purported pedigree. Is one going to buy a piece of gold on somebody's wordsor is one going to ascertain by him or herself or going to that trouble when the the piece in question has plainly all the attributes of tin or even shit.

                One thing there is, even after relinquishing reliance on anything else than Qur'an is that still we may want the Qur'an to say whatever feels better for us and commit thereby a fraude against ourselves. We have to be very careful before thinking that if we do not extract the meaning we think is right the Qur'an may disappoint us. In fact we may be missing something so plain and so brilliant not even we, modern, progressive thinking people, may be too shy to even conceive or hope.

                Salaam

                    Salaam.

                    Chapter 60, vese 4
                    There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah. we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone" But not when Abraham said to his father "I will pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from Allah." (They prayed) "Our Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in repentance to Thee is (our) Final Goal.

                    Does this mean that there are two gods? No.
                    Obey God and His messenger also does not mean that there are many books to be followed.

                    God knows Best.
                    Peace.

                      Simone

                      2334
                      2334 And if you obey a human being like you, then you will indeed be losers.

                      6116
                      6116 And if you obey most of those on the earth they will lead you away from the path of Allah; that is because they follow conjecture, and that is because they only guess.

                      You can understand the meaning of 'Itaa'at' from the above quoted aayaats, inshaAllah.

                      Now we will go back to your question-

                      1723
                      1723 And your Lord decreed that you shall not serve except He, and do good to your parents. When one of them or both of them reach old age, do not say to them a word of disrespect nor shout at them, but say to them a kind saying.

                      If someone don't have his parents alive or lets say an orphan, how will he apply this aayat to himself?

                      This clearly means that this aayat is not applicable to him.

                      Same goes with Prophet Mohammed, how can we obey him if he is not available now?

                      Another way to understand...

                      480
                      480 Whoever obeys the messenger has obeyed Allah; and whoever turns away, We have not sent you as a guardian over them.

                      As per your understanding or may be not...

                      AlQuraan = Allah's Itaa'at
                      AlHadith = Rasool's Itaa'at

                      If so, then as per 480 above. If one obeys the messenger, that means AlHadith, then he obeyed Allah.

                      In other words. If someone follow AlHadith then he is actually followed Allah... then no need for AlQuraan.

                      If you understand 480, it clearly says that obeying Allah and obeying AlRasool is same, i.e., AlQuraan. Cause, Allah sent AlQuraan and AlRasool gave it to us. So, if you follow AlQuraan that means you are obeying Allah and AlRasool.

                      Hope this help, inshaAllah.

                      May Allah guide us all towards the Truth.

                        Salaam quantum1 and all,

                        Please have a look at http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9601702.0

                        Dear readers, peace

                        I respectfully disagree with all the explanations put forth by the esteemed forum members to abdullah's point.

                        I will try to explain my understanding, and the god knows best.

                        THE BOOK in the quran can have different meanings depending on the context. It can be referring to the quran, or the master book containing record of everything, or the book containing a record of our deeds which is part of the master book.

                        What does "The Book" in 4070 refer to?

                        Those who deny the Book (al-kitaab), and what We have sent Our messengers (plural) with. Therefore, they will come to know. (4070)

                        The context is clearly the Last Day (4071-77)

                        "The Book" in 4070 cannot be the quran because of the contradiction it causes as per abdullah.

                        "what we have sent our messengers with" in the same sign cannot be the signs in the horizons and within ourselves because those signs were not sent with the messengers

                        "what we have sent our messengers with" cannot be only the quran because of the word "messengers" plural.

                        "what we have sent our messengers with" cannot be the hadeeth of the messengers because then we will need the authentic hadeeth of ALL messengers for our salvation not just of Muhammad.

                        Careful consideration of the quran reveals that "The Book" in 4070 can only refer to THE BOOK in which our deeds are being recorded which is a part of the master record in which everything is recorded. This understanding is solidified by the context of 4070 which is the Last Day.

                        Please ponder on the following signs

                        Who is more wicked than he who invents lies about God, or denies His revelations? These will receive their recompense from The Book (al-kitaab); so that when Our messengers come to terminate their lives, they will say Where are those whom you used to call on besides God? They said They have abandoned us! And they bore witness upon themselves that they were rejecters. (737)

                        Context is the Last Day just like 4070

                        And if We let the people taste a mercy after some harm had afflicted them, they take to scheming against Our revelations! Say God is faster in scheming; Our messengers record (yaktaboon) what you scheme. (1021)

                        They record where? In THE BOOK obviously

                        And The Book (al-kitaab) was displayed, so you see the criminals fearful of what is in it. And they say Woe to us! What is with this record that it does not leave out anything small or large but has counted it. And they found what they had done present. And your Lord does not wrong anyone. (1849)

                        Same context of The Last Day

                        No, We will record (sanuktab) what he says, and We will increase for him the retribution significantly. (1979)

                        We will record where? In THE BOOK obviously

                        So whoever does good works and he is a believer, then his efforts will not be rejected and We will record it (kaatiboon) for him. (2194)

                        We will record where? In THE BOOK obviously

                        This is Our record (kitaabana); it utters the truth about you. We have been recording everything you did. (4529)

                        Similarly 6919, 837, 8318 refers to the same book.

                        This is THE BOOK that we cannot deny per 4070.

                        As to "what we have sent our messengers with" in 4070, it refers to all the books that were sent with the messengers (plural), including the quran. Unfortunately the only authentic remaining out of them now is the quran.

                        The mistakes in this post are all mine. Only the god knows the complete truth.

                        May Allah guide us all towards the Truth.

                          Salaam Aleykum, my reply is to Simone, as I have recently been "called out" too, for making a point of double checking every "hadith" that comes my way to see if it is backed up by the Qur'an.

                          A very good Brother asked me in a group discussion "do you reject the ahadith?"

                          My reply was "I don't reject any ahadith that is from Allah swt in the Glorious Qur'an, insh'Allah.
                          I agree that Hadith (the word) can mean statement, narration, story, news, conversation, talk, report. In all of the ways that "Hadith" (the word) in the Qur'an is used http//corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?root=Hdv if there is an instruction in the Qur'an to follow ahadith outside of the Qur'an then I will submit to the will of Allah swt and obediently do it, insh'Allah. I have found no such instruction, as yet. I will keep looking, insh'Allah"

                          We to'd and fro'd with "Obey God and Obey the Messenger" and "what the Prophet gives you, take it, and what he forbids, leave it" and he ended up saying "Sister, don't reject the teachings of the Prophet (saws). The Prophet (saws), his character, his actions, his sayings, all of that is part of our deen."

                          My reply was this

                          "It is my belief that the Sublime Qur'an makes it clear what should and should not be rejected / turned away from / denied.

                            Quantum1 I think you interpretation was very good. I understood it and it made sense to me. The problem I had with following the sunnah was all the contradictions and endless debating over stupid things like why we shouldn't eat ketchup etc.... Now I feel alot happier reading the Quran without any commentaries, and discovering for myself the true meaning of what Allah is saying to us. Today I was told that I could quite possibly be possessed by Devil because I reject all hadiths and only pray 3 times a day. I keep thinking maybe I am wrong, but my heart and logical mind just groans at the thought of going back to practising that way again. Thanks for the insight.
                            Simone sun

                            And keep up prayer in the two parts of the day and in the first hours of the night; surely good deeds take away evil deeds this is a reminder to the mindful. (11116)

                            these are the three you talk about ?

                            Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer and stand up truly obedient to Allah. (2240)

                            that makes 4 ?

                            On the other hand, Allah says

                            Our Lord! and raise up in them an Apostle from among them who shall recite to them Thy communications and teach them the Book and the wisdom, and purify them; surely Thou art the Mighty, the Wise. (Quran 2130)

                            That was the duaa of Ibraheem speaking about his decendants from Ismaeel (check the previous verse) wich are the muslims.

                            He it is Who raised among the inhabitants of Mecca an Apostle from among themselves, who recites to them His communications and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom, although they were before certainly in clear error, (623)

                            So the Prophet indeed brought us wisdom that we have to follow wich is the sunna.

                            The funniest part is that you are following the sunna against your will as most of the quran in english that you are reading are translations according to the prophet sayings as alot of terms are not understandable without his explanations (see the differences between the translations availables as the arabic version is unique).

                            Salaaman Simone,

                            AlQuraan = Allah's Itaa'at
                            AlHadith = Rasool's Itaa'at

                            If so, then as per 480 above. If one obeys the messenger, that means AlHadith, then he obeyed Allah.

                            In other words. If someone follow AlHadith then he is actually followed Allah... then no need for AlQuraan.

                            If you understand 480, it clearly says that obeying Allah and obeying AlRasool is same, i.e., AlQuraan. Cause, Allah sent AlQuraan and AlRasool gave it to us. So, if you follow AlQuraan that means you are obeying Allah and AlRasool.

                            Are you serious ?

                            Your analogy don't make sens (obeying Allah and obeying AlRasool is same, i.e., AlQuraan. Cause, Allah sent AlQuraan and AlRasool gave it to us).

                            It is more clear that you must obey Allah and obey the Rasool.

                            Allah means everry word written in the quran so if He says obey Allah and obey the Rasool He means obey Allah and obey the Rasool, you are clearly twisting the original sens of the aya to prove your point.

                            It's like if I say "eat chiken and eggs" and you say "that means eat only chicken because the egg comes from the chiken" no sens at all !

                            Salaam.

                            More then one Book?
                            Which verse does that say?

                            Peace. handshake

                            And when We gave Musa the Book and the distinction that you might walk aright. (254)

                            And most certainly We gave Musa the Book and We sent apostles after him one after another (28

                            And when there came to them an Apostle from Allah verifying that which they have, a party of those who were given the Book threw the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they knew nothing. (2102)

                            He has revealed to you the Book with truth, verifying that which is before it, and He revealed the Tavrat and the Injeel. (34)

                            But if they reject you, so indeed were rejected before you apostles who came with clear arguments and scriptures and the illuminating book. (3185)

                            Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His grace? But indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom. (455)

                            And they say Why does he not bring to us a sign from his Lord? Has not there come to them a clear evidence of what is m the previous books? (20134)

                            The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa. (8720)

                            Surely We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh, and the prophets after him, and We revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and Isa and Ayub and Yunus and Haroun and Sulaiman and We gave to Dawood the Psaulms (4164)

                            And your Lord best knows those who are in the heavens and the earth; and certainly We have made some of the prophets to excel others, and to Dawood We gave a scripture. (1756)

                            I am a convert and to me it is very plain if my conscience and honest feeling and thinking took me to islam, now, after I am a Muslim, honest conscience feeling nd thinking must be suspended in order tht I can follow somebody else's conscience, feeling and thinking? Why shouldn't I then have stayed where I was and where I was told what I had to believe and what not? Itis shockingly self-serving and club-like. Sometime it feels just like tht, tht youhve to accept the club rules in order to be in. But religion is not a club. It is a lien which is based on sincerity towards oneself and the others. As a hadith says "religion is sincerity", or something of the sort. And I put a hadith, because this one, like many others, I consider valuable, not because it comes from the Prophet, which it could or could not, but because what it says has a sense, a meaning and a teaching. And that is what I uphold, that he same as I choose Islam because I found the Qur'an convincing, whay should I follow any other criteria when dealing with hadith or with whatever? It is content that decides, not purported pedigree. Is one going to buy a piece of gold on somebody's wordsor is one going to ascertain by him or herself or going to that trouble when the the piece in question has plainly all the attributes of tin or even shit.

                            Salaam

                            The prophet said (not the exact phrase coz I don't find a translation for this one) if you feel comfortable with one of my sayings I could have said it but if your heart rejected it could be far from me.

                            What would Allah SWT do to rasool Muhammad, if he did say those hadith besides The Qur'an?
                            Let's see, let's read

                            6938 So I do swear by what you see.
                            6939 And what you do not see.
                            6940 This is the utterance of an honorable messenger.
                            6941 It is not the utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe.
                            6942 Nor the utterance of a soothsayer; rarely do you take heed.
                            6943 A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
                            6944 And had he attributed anything falsely to Us.
                            6945 We would have seized him by the right.
                            6946 Then, We would have severed his life-line. (wich in other translations is translated as "the aorta&quot
                            6947 None of you would be able to prevent it.

                            Wich didn't happend so the prophet clearly did not attributed anything false to the Lord, how could he ? he who have been trusted by the Most High to reveal the book and who understands it better than him to explain it ?

                              Strikingly similar to these verses, no?

                              361 Quran al-hakim

                              358 - Dhikr al-hakim

                              101 - Kitaab al-hakim

                              312 - Kitaab al-hakim

                              What is the hikma being referred to in these verses? The Quran and the Prophetic sunnah?

                                Brother, you did not read my previous post carefully, otherwise you will not ask/say such things.

                                Please read carefully before coming up with your disagreement.

                                May Allah guide us all towards the Truth.

                                  Common sense tells you that if you follow other books besides Qur'an, that The Qur'an isn't enough for you.

                                    Common sense tells you that if you follow other books besides Qur'an, that The Qur'an isn't enough for you.

                                    It's wonderfully simple when you put it like that Alen. For some reason though this point is missed by the majority.

                                      Our Lord! and raise up in them an Apostle from among them who shall recite to them Thy communications and teach them the Book and the wisdom, and purify them; surely Thou art the Mighty, the Wise. (Quran 2130)

                                      That was the duaa of Ibraheem speaking about his decendants from Ismaeel (check the previous verse) wich are the muslims.

                                      He it is Who raised among the inhabitants of Mecca an Apostle from among themselves, who recites to them His communications and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom, although they were before certainly in clear error, (623)

                                      So the Prophet indeed brought us wisdom that we have to follow wich is the sunna.

                                      The conclusion that hikmah / wisdom means "sunnah" is faulty and does not make sense if you look at other verses where the word is being used.

                                      It's been discussed in detail here

                                      http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9600457.0

                                      The funniest part is that you are following the sunna against your will as most of the quran in english that you are reading are translations according to the prophet sayings as alot of terms are not understandable without his explanations (see the differences between the translations availables as the arabic version is unique).

                                      Is that so? Could you you give some examples with proof, please?

                                      It is more clear that you must obey Allah and obey the Rasool.

                                      The rasool is dead. And following hearsay that is being attributed to him is not the same as obeying him.

                                      I wonder, did you even bother reading any of the threads here before registering? Because this issue has been discussed ad nauseam. )

                                        Brother, you did not read my previous post carefully, otherwise you will not ask/say such things.

                                        Please read carefully before coming up with your disagreement.

                                        May Allah guide us all towards the Truth.
                                        Mohammed M. Khan

                                        I red your whole post and still don't make sens.

                                        Is your key proof that the prophet doesnt exist anymore so how could we follow him ?

                                        There were scholars and people who spesialized on collecting hadith, these people spent their lifes crossing the globe to lay down on paper the sayings of the prophets. A whole science of methodology of collecting and sorting hadiths has been created. It would be shameful, stupid and sad to miss all this treasures of wisdom he shared with his contemporaries.
                                        Remember "Your companion does not err, nor does he go astray; Nor does he speak out of desire. It is naught but revelation that is revealed, The Lord of Mighty Power has taught him," (533-6)

                                        The conclusion that hikmah / wisdom means "sunnah" is faulty and does not make sense if you look at other verses where the word is being used.

                                        So what is the form of this wisdom according to you ?

                                        Is that so? Could you you give some examples with proof, please?

                                        Yes it is P

                                        You only have to check the different translations and see the differences between them while the Quran in arabic is one.

                                        Brief example
                                        Surat 1133

                                        Sahih International And from the evil of darkness when it settles
                                        Pickthall From the evil of the darkness when it is intense,
                                        Yusuf Ali From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads;
                                        Shakir And from the evil of the utterly dark night when it comes,
                                        Muhammad Sarwar I seek His protection against the evil of the invading darkness,
                                        Mohsin Khan "And from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the moon as it sets or goes away).
                                        Arberry from the evil of darkness when it gathers,

                                        So is Ghaseq darkness, dark night, darkening or moon ?
                                        And Waqab is overspread, comes, invading, goes away or gather ?

                                        the only reason of such a difference is that these 2 words does not exist in arabic language before islam and they have been explained by the prophet and the meaning still blurr, without his explanation there wouldnt be any translation.

                                        Another example
                                        Surat 1081

                                        Sahih International Indeed, We have granted you, , al-Kawthar.
                                        Pickthall Lo! We have given thee Abundance;
                                        Yusuf Ali To thee have We granted the Fount (of Abundance).
                                        Shakir Surely We have given you Kausar,
                                        Muhammad Sarwar (Muhammad), We have granted you abundant virtue.
                                        Mohsin Khan Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) Al-Kauthar (a river in Paradise);
                                        Arberry Surely We have given thee abundance;

                                        What is the Kawthar ?
                                        How do we know that it's a river in Paradise.

                                        Also
                                        (25

                                        Sahih International And We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, , "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not - but they were wronging themselves.
                                        Pickthall And We caused the white cloud to overshadow you and sent down on you the manna and the quails, (saying) Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you - they wronged Us not, but they did wrong themselves.
                                        Yusuf Ali And We gave you the shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and quails, saying "Eat of the good things We have provided for you" (But they rebelled); to us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.
                                        Shakir And We made the clouds to give shade over you and We sent to you manna and quails Eat of the good things that We have given you; and they did not do Us any harm, but they made their own souls suffer the loss.
                                        Muhammad Sarwar We provided you with shade from the clouds and sent down manna and quails as the best pure sustenance for you to eat. They (children of Israel) did not wrong Us but wronged themselves.
                                        Mohsin Khan And We shaded you with clouds and sent down on you Al-Manna and the quails, (saying) "Eat of the good lawful things We have provided for you," (but they rebelled). And they did not wrong Us but they wronged themselves.
                                        Arberry And We outspread the cloud to overshadow you, and We sent down manna and quails upon you 'Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you. And they worked no wrong upon Us, but themselves they wronged.

                                        What are al Mann Wa Assalwa ?

                                        The rasool is dead. And following hearsay that is being attributed to him is not the same as obeying him.

                                          It is very arrogant to pretend understand the quran without the prophet's or the scholars explanations. I wish you can one day understand it in arabic because it is alot more powerful.
