    I give up, it's getting no where . . giveup

    All I can see is you are repeating your baseless opinion
    lack of understanding of the issue of discussion
    no valid conclusion, no valid premises and no valid assumptions
    ignoring every answers, issues and using blank denials
    lack of understanding of the Usul al Fiqh and the Principle of Islamic Jurisprudence
    and the using of fallacy as your main argument, ie. ad hominem etc . .

    and which I'm not interested to reply anymore since it is circular reasoning and full of inconsistencies, mumbling from the start till the end.

    The conclusion, it is not reasoning, and it is full of inconsistencies . . .

    Last message, stop killing and murdering innocent people in the name of Allah & Islam . . .

    And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth,"
    They say, "We are but reformers."
    Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive not.

      For Man of Faith

      I would not consider the hearsay of Muhammad to be truly a divinely inspired source as it is mostly nonsense to be read in the hearsay (hadith).

      Why you labeled hadith as hearsay while it's already been well precribed and transmitted since the sahabah (companion) era.

      The problem is that there is no religion but only a system of God, and that is not based on a weird discourse "a'la" al-bukhari & co.

      Bukhari is not the first person who collecting hadith but just re-collecting, some people who ever met the Phrophet also collecting the hadith like Abd Allah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As who wrote Al-Sahifah al-Sadiqah (The Truthful Scripts).

      Before Bukhari & co started collecting hadith, the Islamic schools like Maliki, Hanbali already existed for along time during the Phrophet eras.

      Bukhari & co graduated from the schools and started the journey to re-collecting hadith from many Islamic schools, because in the past the writting medias is not as right now.

      We need to know what the verse literally means and often in the context within. If the context is unclear then it is not necessary to know the original intention with the narration.

      Then you will only play speculations until the last day.

      May God always blessing you

        lack of understanding of the Usul al Fiqh and the Principle of Islamic Jurisprudence

        It's you actually.
        Your lack is only one avoid asbab un Nuzul

        Last message, stop killing and murdering innocent people in the name of Allah & Islam . . .

        And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth,"
        They say, "We are but reformers."
        Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive not.
        211-12

        And also stop act like you're a Phrophet who received the wahy.
        I only believe Muhammad's explanation, hadith and example regarding the Quran not you

        You're not follower of Allah, but simply just a heretic.

            Heheeee
            The hadith are collected with proper methodology and was sent down by thruswosthy people like sahabah and via Islamic schools and libraries

            No hadith = there is no Quran mushaf and translations you used right now.
            It's like you enjoy for eating cake, but mocking a person who cook the cake.

              proven, circular reasoning . . . very simple! laugh

              It's like you enjoy for eating cake, but mocking a person who cook the cake.

              See? No understanding of the issue and no discipline in the Islamic Jurisprudence,
              blindly following "People of the Book". . regeneration of the mistakes of the past. . .
              over and over again. . . without using reason.

              Allah has not appointed bahirah or sa'ibah or wasilah or ham. But those who disbelieve invent falsehood about Allah , and most of them do not reason. And when it is said to them, "Come to what Allah has revealed and to the Messenger," they say, "Sufficient for us is that upon which we found our fathers." Even though their fathers knew nothing, nor were they guided? 5.103-104

              You're not follower of Allah, but simply just a heretic.

              Really? how many times have you changed your religion?
              From Sunni, to Quranism, to atheism, to agonism, and then back to Sunni.. what else I do not know ? Hinduism? Buddhism? Christianity? rotfl

                Do you understand what is a "hearsay" ? rotfl

                and . . . hadith is a man-made law, as equal to other scriptures and laws etc. . .

                it must be confirmed and consistent with the principles from the Quran

                Who are the actual (missing) narrators ?

                Yes, Bukhari & Co. .

                It is not Prophet Muhammad
                It is not the Sahaba
                but the true narrators are Bukhari & Co
                It is their story, since everyone else are dead.

                    I told you, I'm not a Quran Alone follower anymore.
                    I already prove mineself, if withouth the hadith the Quran will sound stranger.

                    Are you sure, brother?

                    I think without influence of manmade hadiths, the Qur'an becomes more easier to learn, a very excellent book it is.

                    Perhaps you need more patience when you learn the Qur'an.

                    and I suggest to consider brother mmkhan's advice below.

                    So, waiting till Allah clarifies His aayaat is the best way as said in 10109 and also seeking Allah's help to increase our knowledge 20114.

                    Peace.

                      You're not follower of Allah, but simply just a heretic.

                      How come they destroyed the following church ?

                      http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHPvxCKofs4

                      Question Does the following ayat say Allah protected monasteries, churches, and synagogues ? Does it also means Allah protects other religions ?

                      Permission has been given to those who are being fought
                      because they were wronged
                      And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory
                      those who have been evicted from their homes without right
                      only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah ."

                      And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others
                      there would have been demolished
                      (1) monasteries
                      (2) churches
                      (3) synagogues
                      (4) and mosques
                      in which the name of Allah is much mentioned
                      And Allah will surely support those who support Him
                      Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might
                      (22.39-40)

                      You misunderstood the concept of Jihad

                      Permission has been given to those who are being fought
                      because they were wronged
                      And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory
                      22.39

                      As we can see, permission to fight is granted to all religions
                      Permission of Jihad is granted even to the disbelievers to Jihad against the Believers if the Disbelievers have been wronged

                      If the Believers are committing the oppression
                      Allah will be on their side and Allah is competent to give them victory over the Believers

                      Islam only defends the fundamental human right of freedom of conscience.
                      Allah does not take religious labels, but Allah command balance and justice

                      For the same reason, a true Muslim should not only treat the worshipper with respect
                      but should also be ready to defend their places of worship when attacked

                        Salaam muslims and Javalette

                        For muslims

                        proven, circular reasoning . . . very simple! laugh

                        While you said "circular reasoning", we have many evidences to tackle your arguments.

                        Do you understand what is a "hearsay" ? rotfl

                        and . . . hadith is a man-made law, as equal to other scriptures and laws etc. . .

                        it must be confirmed and consistent with the principles from the Quran

                        http//quransmessage.com/articles/illustrations%20FM2.htm

                        Cited form quranmessage.com right??

                        If you study about Hitler's death, then who want you to believe on? The witnesses or people living in this day.
                        Same if you want study about hadith, then what sources you want to used? the earlier Islamic scholars who involved on it or Joseph Islam, a scholar living in this day, but not knowing nor involved on collecting hadith.

                        Withouth ahlul hadit and a hadith, you will never see the Quran right now

                        ((of) the former people) (Tales) (And they say)
                        (which he (Muhammad) has had written)
                        (and evening) (morning) (to him) (are dictated) (and they)
                        25.5

                        Even you formatted like this, it's still... you rely on ahlul hadith and mufassir and adopted their mushaf and translation.
                        Still same you forget, who inputted the tashkeel and arranged the Quran in simple format?

                        Your translation is simply wrote by Ahlul hadith, since Quran Arabic has unique pattern.
                        Need some tafseer and some book of Classical Arabic Al nahw to create such kind of translation

                        I can see, this is clear evidence if you're lack of knowledge of Islam (even the simple thing like this).

                        How come they destroyed the following church ?

                        http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHPvxCKofs4

                          For Javalatte

                          I think without influence of manmade hadiths, the Qur'an becomes more easier to learn, a very excellent book it is.

                          Yes, because it hath already been translated and formatted by ahlul hadith.
                          You simply play mockery against them, but used their work to support your faith

                          and I suggest to consider brother mmkhan's advice below.

                          Perhaps you will change your mind after reading this one

                            Ignoring the issues , blank denials, blank accusations , and ad hominem etc . . . again ?

                            I think you are not fit for discussion . . . perhaps, not in this forum . rotfl

                            Avoding asbabun ul nuzul = NONSENSE!!
                            Perhaps this is the argument I left, since you intepred the Quran blatantly

                            and of course, another blank accusations and unable to prioritize the issue relating to Islamic Jurisprudence, ignoring questions and real issues. . .

                            and the context of historical purpose . . .

                            They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog <- rules relating to history
                            and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog
                            guessing at the unseen
                            and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog.

                            Say, "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few.

                            So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument <- the prohibitions, disobey ?
                            and do not inquire about them among from anyone."

                            Inconsistent and contradicting hadith = NONSENSE!!

                              and of course, unable to prioritize the issue relating to Islamic Jurisprudence, and ignoring questions and real issues. . .

                              Ok, we discuss this issue first and please don't divert to anywhere

                              Ok I want your evidences first, it can be scholar works or something (but not ur personal opinion or intepretations)

                                Yes, the same old strategy . . . rotfl

                                Therefore, give the authority from the Quran first, and then we go to hadith, ijma and qiyas etc. . .
                                You keep ignoring the issue, please refer to the usul al fiqh

                                Priority of the Quran over the Sunnah
                                A Sunnah is the second source of the Shari'ah next to the Qur'an,
                                the mujtahid is bound to observe an order of priority between the Qur'an and Sunnah.
                                Hence in his search for a solution to a particular problem,
                                the jurist must resort to the Sunnah ONLY WHEN he fails to find any guidance in the Qur'an.
                                Should there be a clear text in the Qur'an, it must be followed and be given priority over any ruling of the Sunnah
                                which may happen to be in conflict with the Qur'an
                                Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence; p.58 Second Revised Edition; Mohammad Hashim Kamali

                                Wishful thinking. . . prove from the Quran, then the hadith. . . then Ijma, Bible, Torah, Qiyas etc.
                                Again, and according to priority. . .

                                1. Quran

                                6. Lastly. . . your opinion.

                                Therefore . . .

                                I have give you an ayat from the Quran . . .and Allah said "There is no argument between us and you", see also 5.48
                                This is the rule relating to hablum minallah . . . there is no argument!

                                Therefore where is the ayat to prove your statement that the Ahmadiya deserved to be killed like that ?

                                http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=es-p5OHTSxk

                                How many times do I have to repeat asking you not to merely stating your opinions ?

                                and

                                How come they destroyed the following church ?

                                http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHPvxCKofs4

                                Question Does the following ayat say Allah protected monasteries, churches, and synagogues ? Does it also means Allah protects other religions ?

                                and

                                There shall be no compulsion in the religion. 2.256

                                . . .

                                Therefore, which ayat from the Quran ?

                                This is the first stage. . . before you are qualified to discuss the rules from the hadith, ijma, qiyas, ijtihad and fatwa etc.

                                Verse and Chapter that allowed such killings and oppressions ?

                                Don't fail at the first stage . . . laugh

                                    For Man of Faith

                                    Why you labeled hadith as hearsay while it's already been well precribed and transmitted since the sahabah (companion) era.

                                    What are you talking about? I do not know anything about that and I honestly do not care either. I would rather use the hadith of the Bible than using hadith of Muhammad at least they are less bad in severity on the blasphemy.

                                    Bukhari is not the first person who collecting hadith but just re-collecting, some people who ever met the Phrophet also collecting the hadith like Abd Allah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As who wrote Al-Sahifah al-Sadiqah (The Truthful Scripts).

                                    Could be, but I still find that the message of the recitation is enough for me that I do not need any external information to know God's mission.

                                    Before Bukhari & co started collecting hadith, the Islamic schools like Maliki, Hanbali already existed for along time during the Phrophet eras.

                                    Bukhari & co graduated from the schools and started the journey to re-collecting hadith from many Islamic schools, because in the past the writting medias is not as right now.

                                    I find most of what you read in Bukhari as either garbage or things that would be common sense anyway without reading it in hearsay books. It does not teach anything that brings me closer to God honestly.

                                    Then you will only play speculations until the last day.

                                    I have nothing I find myself speculating about. The message is quite clear actually.

                                      Still no answer and again, you divert with your personal opinion and circular reasoning . . .
                                      from the start of this discussion. . . and continuing.

                                      The Quran is analogous to the "Constitution", and the hadith is analogous to the "Statutory Law"
                                      Before any Statutory Law is valid, there must be the main principle in the Constitution . .
                                      This is equally true in the Principle of Islamic Jurisprudence and Usul Al Fiqh
                                      Before any hadith etc is valid, there must be the main principle in the Quran . .

                                      Therefore, where is the Ayat ?

                                      This is the first stage to determine the legality of any action or rule of laws. . .

                                      Where are the Verse and Chapter that allow such killings, oppressions and barbarianism ?

                                        What exactly is it that you do not understand of the recitation? I have found it very clear actually without involving hadith. In fact hadith used to make me confused, and I did never believe that any of it was inspired by God.

                                        God bless you

                                          As I said I don't want intepret the Quran too hastily.

                                          Because we need understand this first http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbab_al-nuzul
                                          And the tafseer....

                                          Oh I want to ask How many times you salat per day? ;D

                                          What exactly is it that you do not understand of the recitation? I have found it very clear actually without involving hadith. In fact hadith used to make me confused, and I did never believe that any of it was inspired by God.

                                          The translation and the Quranic text you used right now is the work of Ahle Ahadith )
