    Another point I picked up on was when the salafi brother mentioned that the book on eating is the same size as the Qur'an. WOW. No wonder I don't know a single Sunni/Salafi muslim who reads the Qur'an a lot, if they need to read a book the same size just to find out how to eat. (The references to the Qur'an posted on this forum make clear that the Qur'an is the only source of religious instruction needed, the hadith will/have lead people astray, and only the pure read the Qur'an often)

    Peace Steven,

    I liked your entire post, but the above part stood out to me. Most of them don't even read the Qur'an, and if they do, they tend to read it blindly, not really getting anything out of it. The hadith and rituals are so distracting...no wonder they have no time to read it. Now that I have stopped following those things, I have plenty of time (and desire) to read my Qu'ran. )

      you want to see the size of the book on water to wash with!

      Anyway, just watching this and done the first hour so far. The salafi guys body language is fun to watch but he's just claimed he had no idea what Edip was talking about as it was all rubbish, made perfect sense to me! salafi man doesn't seem to have a clue what he's talking about and less clue what's in Quran!! rotfl

          Ayisha,

          You are so on point!! Just this morning I thought about that...I don't have any doubt in the word of the Prophet...I doubt the sources who claim that he said it. )

          Peace,

                Yes, I have had much experience of this phenomenon in hadithists, it's like you might as well be telling them to follow the devil if you quote Quran at them and they react like I am some sort of satanic messenger! hypno

                The blockage though is that they cannot understand that I'm not dissing the prophet as they can't get past that the hadith are NOT from him. They assume I'm saying you need nothing but Quran because I DON'T want to follow the messenger, they can't understand that I AM. They prefer to think God's messenger a pedophile, a murderer, a torturer who forced a new law onto us that we can be whipped and burnt for if we don't follow......such as the burning them in their homes for not hurrying to prayer.......and so many have never even heard that hadith. They can't see that if they want to follow the prophet's sunnah its in Quran anyway. brickwall

                  Salaam,

                  So right! As per my experience, Mohammed is everything for them far more than Allah. When I quoted them aayaats, they say, no, we cannot accept it because hadith say otherwise. & It was so scary for me and it was nothing for them.

                  And I totally agree with you with that satanic messenger thing.

                      It is sad how almost all of you are fast to mock others and their belief. I don't have to remind you that those people you mock are the people who believe that there is no God, but God. What you do here is so unQuranic. &

                          We are not doing anything unQuranic inshaAllah. We are sharing our experience that we had. As per my experience many believe as

                          "the people who believe that there is no God, but Mohammed but say that there is no God, but God".

                          Believe me, this is my personal experiences I have faced many times. They never even have respect for Allah compare to Mohammed.

                            Salaams Khan,

                            I beg to differ. You have no knowledge of whether people just say those words or they really feel it. That knowledge is with Allah s.w.t. since he is the only one who can look into person's heart. On the other hand, I understand what you are saying since I, myself, am familiar and, at times, annoyed with hardcore hadithists who are, to put it nicely, pretty stubborn in their belief concerning hadith but that is not a reason to mock them.

                              That is OK if you differ and you are right that only Allah knows what is in their hearts and He said that in AlQuraan.

Avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you. They distort words beyond their usages, saying "If you are given this, take it; but if you are not given it, then beware." But he for whom Allah intends fitnah ? never will you possess for him a thing against Allah. Those are the ones for whom Allah does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.

                              As I said before, I shared my personal experiences, I used to be a salafi and I used to give them dars, so, I know much about them. I faced them many times.

                                thanks for the verses D though I don't really think they talk about salafis, my understanding is that they speak about hypocrite people, who say they believe in God just to gain some earthly benefits or something like that.
                                Almost all of us followed/believed hadith for some period of time, by the will of God we stopped so, perhaps, God just wants to test us with people we once were. It's not OK to be arrogant after you were blessed.

                                May Allah protect us and guide us to His true path pr

                                This is the part of your posts I like the most, and instead of mocking salafis, you can pray like this for them too. It's a noble thing to do.

                                  Salaams Khan,

                                  Salaams Shila,

                                  Agreed! It is not specifically talking about Salafis and also it is not specifically talking about hypocrites though. But who soever falls in the said category are being referred by Allah. Be it a Salafi, Sufi, Sunni, Shia, Me, You or anyone else.

                                  A small correct I am not being arrogant after Allah blessed me but I am showing their arrogance.

                                  Let me tell you an incident. Once me and my friends discussing 6145 and they all stuck on hadith saying that Mohammed already said, whole pig is haraam, I was like hypno. I said this is Allah who is saying only flesh of pig is haraam not whole pig, they never care, they said when we already saw in hadith that whole pig is haraam, we don't wanna listen anything because that hadith explains this aayat that we cannot understand directly. Finally, me and one of my friend, taken the aayat as guidance and they all took hadith instead.

                                  After a year or so, same thing happened with another person, he listened to many many aayaats, I was showing him for almost 3 hours and he agreed to all of them , surprisingly when we came to 6145 again on that pig thing. He rejects and said I have to study, I cannot say anything and he left. After few years when we met again, I asked him why you are preaching hadith in mosques when we already saw many aayaats on this and you also agreed to that. He replied, I was agreeing but when you said only flesh of pig is haraam, then I realized that you are misguided.
                                  I said, what about other aayaats that you have seen for yourself. He said, no, I understood that you are misguiding me.

                                  There are many many examples with me. Anyways...

                                  x2? ;D

                                  OK then x3 pr

                                  Thanks for your kind words. Do you really think that only praying for them gonna work? hmm What if I say, O God, make me the strongest man in this world and sit at home without doing any exercise? hmm

                                  May Allah bless you and increase us in knowledge and guide us to His true path pr

                                    Shila

                                    thanks for the verses though I don't really think they talk about salafis, my understanding is that they speak about hypocrite people, who say they believe in God just to gain some earthly benefits or something like that

                                    And Salafi arent hypocrite how?

                                    This is the part of your posts I like the most, and instead of mocking salafis, you can pray like this for them too. It's a noble thing to do

                                    so saying your opinion about salafis is mocking according to you? So we shall basically just shut up and stop having any opinions about them according to you?

                                    Are you playing the police of freeminds since you feel a need of correcting and condemning each and everyone here?

                                      be fair, I totally understand what Shila is saying and she is right........to a point.

                                      example
                                      "authu billahi min shaitan ilraheem .... as i said before, even you show them the truth, them hearts will be closed, and them ears will be closed, Allah guide her really or she gonna be lost in hell. and Allah protect us from commiting the same sin."

                                      That is a post by someone in a group, this is about ME after being kicked out of the group for quoting Quran and they think I am the sinner for not accepting hadith, we do the same here though. Each are convinced they are right.

                                      Maha, I LOVE your avatar pic bravo

                                        I read all posts since my last, and I'm sure that, with zero arrogance

                                        Allah accepts we oppose, and ridicule people who believe Allah commanded we genitally mutilate boys and/or girls.

                                        Allah accepts we oppose, and ridicule people who believe Allah commanded killing a person who leaves Islam, especially the ever-so-corrupted mainstream version.

                                        Allah accepts we oppose, and ridicule people who believe Allah commanded we stone people to death if they have sex outside marriage.

                                        Allah accepts that we oppose, and ridicule people who believe Allah commanded we're to believe Muhammad practiced and endorsed the jaw-dropping nonsense you'll find in just Bukhari and/or Muslim.

                                        Allah accepts we oppose, and ridicule people who believe Allah's dress code for women is basically a very loose sack with a slit for the eyes, or simply the face showing, free of make-up or brow trims (I wonder then, what was the point of Allah saying to lower our gaze from the opposite sex to begin with?).

                                        I could go on though it's pointless. Every sane, moral person here who stands for justice knows it is the truth, especially when they investigate Quran and free themselves of the shackles of hopeless mainstream Islam. Ayisha and mmkhan weren't being conceited, just acting out of their sense of justice and, more or less, common sense.

                                        I don't see how it's not their punishment; I don't see how Allah doesn't have them already humiliated in this world; they already self-humiliate themselves more than we can.

                                          I think the following warrants its own post

                                          well done edip! We are proud of you

                                          Keep in mind that in particular sunnism is all about controling people and their mind, and when the sunnis loose that control, it threatens their whole ideology and that is why the salafi guy became so annoyed and angry although he tried his best not to show off his anger in order to avoid being labeled 'uncivilized' but basically he was a very typical stubborn hadither. Just watch how he after a while began to make personal attacks, as well as changing the subject in order to avoid the actual point.
                                          If you notice it, you will see that these hadithers usually dont get angry while debating with non-muslims, but they become very angry and annoyed when debating former muslims or quran aloners because we are ''insiders'' who know their religion to depth as well as their weakness and secrets. Due to these obvious reasons, hadithers cannot fool us as they can fool non-muslims with their usual excuses.

                                          but hey you could see that salafi holy guys legs rotfl is that a sign of holiness

                                          Its only when you debate secular sunnis/shiites or sunnis/shiites who dont take their religion so serious, that you can expect some kind of agreement and understanding. I have spoken to some secular sunnis who agreed with me regarding hadith, but that didnt made them take any action since they already didnt gave religion any serious importance.

                                          But good work Edip bravo

                                          Excellent observation. Some years back I began to think the same. As I was reading the part bolded, Yusuf Estes came to mind. I used to listen to his nonsensical lectures online, then I listened to a "khutba" he gave at a local mosque around where I live. All his lectures to non-Muslims, were generally free of hate, arrogance, not as stupid, and somewhat made you want to listen. The khutba he gave opposing Quran-aloners was lolworthy. His thesis basically was that Quran-aloners are "shayaateens" (devils) since they just believe in Allah like the Devil does, and are not actually "practicing" the religion, just as the Devil doesn't either. To actually believe in Allah AND do that which Allah wants, you have to follow the Quran and the Sunnah. Lol.

                                          No really, you can't hate me for laughing there considering what the Sunnah actually commands you to do.
