Proof Qur'an-alone is Error
-
you dont have to read between the line, it's not a riddle. the message is "obey God and the messenger".
as for 480, ---> and by not obeying the messenger you are not obeying god.
How can you obey a man that has been dead for 1400 years? The eternal message that was given to the messenger to be given to us is already here, The Qur'aan, remember? The stuff that you want us to follow in place of The Qur'aan is nothing but a bunch of nonsense written down 260 years after the prophet's death, pbuh. The "SUNNAH & HADITH" of the prophet was never AUTHORIZED by GOD. The prophet himself never authorized it either. We inherited The Qur'aan as the sole source of our guidance. See 3531 & 32 for clarification.

never said in place, in parallel yes, to learn how to pray and how many prayers for example.
The "SUNNAH & HADITH" of the prophet was never AUTHORIZED by GOD.
"Say Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back, then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers." (332)
The prophet himself never authorized it either.

Peace "Badr",
"Say Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back, then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers." (332)
JK- Did it ever occur to you as to why GOD is saying "Obey the Apostle/Messenger" here and not "Obey Allah and Muhammad..."? If you think Muhammad was a messenger 24/7 then please check 3337. Muhammad as a man made mistakes. WHATEVER he had to say as a messenger IS DOCUMENTED IN THE QURAN. Ever noticed verses like "They ask you(Muhammad) concerning x,y,z... SAY(to them)..."? Also note that one cannot even obey Allah only except through a messenger so Muslim's sttaing "Obey Allah" means to obey the Quran is false since the Quran didnt come directly via Allah. Hence the verse
480 Whoso obeyeth the messenger hath obeyed Allah, and whoso turneth away We have not sent thee as a warder over them.
Do you see the connection now? Hence this phrase is referring to ONE SOURCE via which we obey both the messenger and hence in effect Allah as well.
Most Muslims also don't get that the Quran is not only GOD speaking verbatim but also that it quotes the stories and acts of and commands to many messengers including Muhammad. GOD Bless! -

"Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam" (319)
so theres only one path.
Exactly, islam. Not sunni, shia, sufi, QA......islam. One sect doesnt have the copyright of islam. You follow your path, the one you think is right. I follow mine. I don't have a problem with your choice, you seem to have a problem with mine.
Let's play truth or dare. I dare you to call me a muslim. I think you are a muslim, come on, just say it....Or you can choose truth. Then you must say what it is about Quran Alone that is bothering you. Are you scared that we will take over? Are you worried about us that we have gone astray? Are you angry because we have found another path than you?
they dont, theres 1,5 billion muslims in the world and 90% of them are ortodox muslims alhamdulillah. and theres more to come insha allah.
how much do you think is the percentage of the "quranists"?
On the contrary, you are the minority. There are 4,5 billion people saying it is ok to be a Quranist, the only ones opposing it are the ortodox muslims. You see this is one reason IMO what makes a lot of people turn against ortodox islam. I am not talking about muslims only but the entire world. You stand in a circle and everyone is looking into it. Nobody lifts their head and looks for the horizon, nobody wants to progress. Nobody wants to look at the world and help those who are in need. How many islamic centres for alcoholics are there? Alcohol is a big problem, why are not the muslims trying to help the world? What about terrorism, how come no muslim armies are being sent to, for example Somalia, to fight those who are killing in the name of Islam? If someone standing in the circle would dare to question the stagnation, then he would be ridiculed and punished. Quran Alone allows you to be part of the world outside the walls of ortodox islam and still follow Sharia prescribed in the Quran. Do you understand what I mean? I think you do because like I said before, you seem to be a very wise person.
I am not saying that Quran Alone is right and you are wrong. I am just saying it is time for ortodox islam to dust off their coats and smell the coffee, you cannot live your lives like the way prophet Muhammed did AND be part of the world community.... it just doesnt work.

"Nor does he speak out of desire. It is naught but revelation that is revealed," when he speaks it's revelation, it is a general sens right here, evry thing said by the prophet is revelation whether it's Quran or a "regular" saying.
The Quran says that you MUST obey him, the only traces you have from him is Hadeeth.
So Quran is NOT complete and fully detailed as it says and you are saying Allah is a liar?
Do you not see ANY traces of the prophet IN Quran at all?
"Say Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back, then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers."
is this hadith of Muhammed or Allah? or BOTH?"And obey Allah and the Apostle, that you may be shown mercy."
"And We did not send any apostle but that he should be obeyed by Allah's permission;"
"And whoever obeys Allah and the Apostle, these are with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favors from among the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the good, and a goodly company are they!"
So if you don't obey the prophet, you don't obey the quran, as simple as that.
the prophet RECITED from the Quran, TAUGHT from Quran, JUDGED by Quran, I'm sure you know the verses. So where exactly does any of this say use something else OTHER than Quran which Allah revealed to His messanger?Well.... it does
"O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Apostle and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Apostle, if you believe in Allah and the last day; this is better and very good in the end." (459)See how you don't know your subject.
so we are quarelling now, best go refer this to the messenger and let us know what he says about it, as you seem to know your subject so well.

How do YOU follow ISLAM like the above did?

The final version of the ISlam is brought on the Quran, otherwise the quran would be revealed to Adam or Abraham if people were ready for it. Islam was terminated with Muhammad as God says in the Quran "This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion" (53)

And how do you explain Caliph Umar systematically collecting and burning Hadith collections after Prophet Muhammad's death?
Because not any body can collect hadiths and attribute it to the prophet and this is what people started to do in the time of Umar, people who entered islam recently who did not lived with the prophet nor knew him personnaly or saw him like Abi Huraira for example, this one and a few others were trustworthy and the sayings they collected were transmitted untill today.

Yes, I'm worried about you especially when most say no salat and no pilgrimage and no sawm.
I'm not angry I'm discussin.Sorry Badr. I jumped to conclusion about you. The typical ortodox muslim who does debate us would never recognise a quranist as a muslim. I thank you for being open and respectful to us. I only wish the ortodox muslims in my community will one day see me as a muslim. Not that it is personally important, but more for the peace within the community.
If you worry about the salat, pilgrimage and sawm then you must ask us what it means to us. You cannot just worry about us because we do not follow the trend of the majority. I think you gathered that you will only be doing brickwall if you try to use verses from the Quran to argue your case. If you truly want to convince us that we are doing it wrong I suggest you use another tactic, because seriously, I would love for you to show us that we are on the wrong path without arguing about how to interprete the Quran.
I do, but here you are judgin human beigns not a belief, I want to build strictly on the belief (with its rites, acts etc...) because people do alot of things in the name of religion and as I said previously Islam aint an antidote to stupidity. theres good or bad in every person whether a muslim or not.
I think you have the wrong idea about "orthodox" muslims.I understand that, but you still have a choice to make. If you are following the beliefs of a group where within you have a smaller group that will kill and murder in the name of your group, then it is your duty to stand up and fight them. Right now there is nothing being done within the islamic society to fight those that taint the name of islam. Probably because there is alot of confusion about how to interprete the interpretation. Remember, the Talibans are following the same hadith as you do. If you follow the Quran you will have no problem to differentiate yourself from those who think killing is justified.
Maybe I do have the wrong idea about ortodox muslims if you impliment my statement with your community. In my community it is however the very right idea. The ortodox muslims are drifting further and further apart from the rest of society, and it is entirely their choice. They have never asked themselves why society does not like them, instead they blame everybody else, media, politics, the police.

Peace "Badr",
It's actually very simple. If there is a "sahih" or authentic hadith collection then that, like Bukhari and Muslim, the most "sahih", should not contain any scientific errors, correct? Well they do. There are hadith from those books which state that while one of a flies' wings has the disease, the other has the cure. Others say that the seasons are caused by hell taking two breaths, one in summer and the other in winter. Or that meat wouldnt decay if it wasnt for the Israelites, Adam being 60 cubits tall, moon having it's own light, etc etc
The hellfire complained to Allah, "One part of me is eating the other part." So, the hellfire was allowed two breaths - one in summer and one in winter. That is how you see the change of seasons (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2231).
The Prophet said, "But for the Israelis, meat would not decay and but for Eve, wives would never betray their husbands."(Bukhari 4547,611)
Narrated Abu Huraira The Prophet said, "The sun and the moon will be folded up (both)deprived of their light on the Day of Resurrection."
Sahih Bukhari 454422

Are you ignorant, or a liar?
Muhammad Husayn Haykal
? Umar ibn al-Khattab once tried to deal with the problem of committing the Hadith to writing. The companions of the Prophet whom he consulted, encouraged him, but he was not quite sure whether he should proceed. One day, moved by God's inspiration, he made up his mind and announced "I wanted to have the traditions of the Prophet written down, but I fear that the Book of God might be encroached upon. Hence I shall not permit this to happen." He, therefore, changed his mind and instructed the Muslims throughout the provinces "Whoever has a document bearing a prophetic tradition, shall destroy it." The Hadith, therefore, continued to be transmitted orally and was not collected and written down until the period of al-Mamun. ?Dr. Mohammad Hamidullah
? Abu-Dhahabi reports The Caliph Abu-Bakr compiled a work, in which there were 500 traditions of the Prophet, and handed it over to his daughter 'Aishah. The next morning, he took it back from her and destroyed it, saying "I wrote what I understood; it is possible however that there should be certain things in it which did not correspond textually with what the Prophet had uttered."As to Umar, we learn on the authority of Ma'mar ibn Rashid, that during his caliphate, Umar once consulted the companions of the Prophet on the subject of codifying the Hadith. Everybody seconded the idea. Yet Umar continued to hesitate and pray to God for a whole month for guidance and enlightenment. Ultimately, he decided not to undertake the task, and said "Former peoples neglected the Divine Books and concentrated only on the conduct of the prophets; I do not want to set up the possibility of confusion between the Divine Qur?an and the Prophet's Hadith."
Badr, I sincerely hope you are genuine in your quest for the truth.
No great companion in their right mind burns their own and others hadith without good reason.
Tell us Badr, what is that reason?
It is there in your sources for all to see
Volume 7, Book 70, Number 573
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas
When Allah's Apostle was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said, "Come, let me write for you a statement after which you will not go astray." 'Umar said, "The Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the Book of Allah is enough for us." The people present in the house differed and quarrelled. Some said "Go near so that the Prophet may write for you a statement after which you will not go astray," while the others said as Umar said. When they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Apostle said, "Go away!" Narrated 'Ubaidullah Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "It was very unfortunate that Allah's Apostle was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise."
As everyone can see, right from the start, The Quran was enough, not only for Umar but most in the room with them.

Thanks to Badr for being steadfast in support of my position. May Allah reward him.
I didn't mean to stir up everybody, I mostly wanted to publicly state my change in opinion, with Allah as my witness, and offer a proof for it that has given me justification for my decision. I don't care what anyone else thinks, nor am I trying to change anyone else on here, except perhaps the one who has doubts about the Qur'an-alone school of thought and may benefit from my example, because I have been there.
Let it be known by the tone and content of the preceding discussions in this thread, and by pure logic, that the Qur'an-alone school is actually more intolerant than the orthodox/traditional school. For example, no sunni or shia ever kept me out of a mosque for rejecting ahadith! However, I find the posters here are very militant and aggressive against anyone who simply wants to derive some additional benefit from the Prophet's life (AS). By pure logic, the Traditional school would never exclude anyone from being a Muslim, as long as he testifies to God-alone. That, my friends is tolerance.
One more direct proof that I didn't see mentioned above
Remember any of God's verses and wisdom which are recited in your homes. God is Gracious, Informed.
I interpret this to mean that something was recited in the house of the Messenger of Allah that was not recited in public, and that it was commanded by Allah (swt) to be remembered. Otherwise, why would Allah call special attention to it, and even address this ayah directly to the wives? In my opinion, this is the hikmah, the wisdom, that was passed down orally, and then later codified at an appropriate time in the history of the ummah.
And also an indirect proof
How on earth do you learn what salat is unless someone shows you? And who showed that person, and who showed that person... Can't you see? Allah taught Prophet Muhammad the prayer, and salat is one of the precious gifts that has been handed down from one generation of Muslims to the next. And this is the unbroken chain of barakah that I was hinting about. This is also called transmission in metaphysics. It is something quite magical that happens from one soul to another, not from the bookshelf to the brain.
If you reject sunna so strongly, then you might as well invent your own style of prostration, because there are no precise instructions in the Qur'an for that. In fact, there is more precision in the Qur'an on how to fast than there is on how to pray. Why is that, my friends? I wanted to believe that Qur'an was all I needed, but I couldn't resolve why the detailed method of salat was intentionally missing from the text? In my personal journey to Islam, I was reading Qur'an for several years and applying its principles, until I wanted to start doing the prayer. To learn how to do that I naturally went to the masjid where somebody could teach me.
Finally, it comes down to humility and ego. Not to accuse anybody, but seriously, what prevents a person from wanting to be closer to the Messenger of Allah, or at least more "in line" behind him, the imam of imams, is usually pride. So if humility is a virtue for a person, they will seek to suppress their own styles of behavior for a higher example and better model. They do this eagerly, because they know ego is the enemy.
You all can take the Book of Allah dry as long as that satisfies you. It doesn't bother me or the ummah, and we welcome your identification as Muslims. But there are so many higher levels in this deen-al-haqq, and if you want to reach them, you will inevitably seek latheena anamta alayhim.
May Allah guide us all and accept our efforts. I have grown through my interactions on this forum. Thanks.

Salaam,
please quote where I said Allah is a liar.
You said ""Nor does he speak out of desire. It is naught but revelation that is revealed," when he speaks it's revelation, it is a general sens right here, evry thing said by the prophet is revelation whether it's Quran or a "regular" saying."
Allah says Quran is complete and fully detailed and HE will explain it IN it. YOU are saying other things were revealed that are not in Quran and were written down later in hadith, which the prophet said IN those hadith NOT to do. Allah said Quran is the BEST hadith and you need NO other hadith after it, you say we do. So you do not believe Quran is a complete and fully detailed book fully explained BY Allah IN it. therefore you are saying Allah is a liar if you are right.
I see but theres much more.
There are many more stories yes, by many people who cannot and could not have been verified. If you follow something you are told is from the prophet and it's not, the duty is on you to verify it, which you cannot. The ONLY thing Allah gave the prophet to give us is Quran, nothing else and the sunnah of Muhammed it IN Quran. He did not add anything nor take anything away from Quran, nor did he make haram or halal that which Allah did not. Hadith DO.The prophet was a "walking Quran" but you (and every other human beign) are not, so you must see how he judged by the quran and how he taught by the quran.
and you have to go outside Quran for that? If he was a walking Quran then how he judged and taught by it is IN it, not in some other story made up later.
I wish.
But why not? That is what YOU are saying we should do, why can't you do it?
Because he is no longer here, and what we have is Quran so what we must follow is IN Quran because that is what he followed to the letter and was a 'walking Quran' as you have just said, so why do you need to go outside Quran to find how to follow what he followed? Why do you need to follow something else?
