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

    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.

      No hadith = there is no Quran mushaf and translations you used 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

        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

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

            Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might
            (22.39-40)

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

              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."
                1822

                Inconsistent and contradicting hadith = NONSENSE!!

                    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
                      http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                    2. Hadith
                      http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                    3. Ijma (consensus of opinion relating to similarities with specific verses from the Bible, Torah (incl. hadith) etc)
                      http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                    4. Qiyas (analogical reasoning relating to similarities with
                      non specific verses from the Bible, Torah, Traditions, Man-made law (incl. hadith) etc)
                      http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                    5. Istihsan (equity), Maslahah Mursalah (considerations of public interest),
                      Istishab (presumption of continuity), Ijtihad (logic, critical thinking) etc . . . .
                      http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                    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

                      6. Lastly. . . your opinion.

                      Yes, Quran is the main priority, since it's Scripture
                      But to undestand it we need the hadith

                        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.

                          Yes, Quran is the main priority, since it's Scripture
                          But to undestand it we need the hadith

                          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 ?

                            Peace,

                            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

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

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

                                You ask me for the scholar works and I gave it to you. .

                                Therefore, why are you diverting the issue ?
                                How many pages you want to divert the issue?

                                You used to be the Quran Alone follower, therefore which ayat from the Quran ?

                                Are you happy doing what you are doing now ?
                                Ignoring facts, issues, and concealing the truth . . .

                                  I'm not Quran Alone follower anymore

                                  In the past, I was a Sunni and ever join it's organization and study together.
                                  Now I'm just feel sorry for why I leave hadith at that time.

                                  therefore which ayat from the Quran ?

                                  No ayats asked to kill the disbeliever except if they do something bad in Islam
                                  Such like Baqarah 190-191.

                                    No problem, we are discussing the Principle of Islamic Jurisprudence and the authority I gave is used in the Islamic Universities. . .

                                    You said no ayat to support the killing of the disbeliever. . .

                                    Therefore, why did you support such action ? Do you believe the Quran ?

                                    Ahmadiya deserved it, because their mockery toward God's teaching.
                                    The purpose of punishment is to prevent Ahmadiya, before they go further for corrupting GOD's teaching.
                                    This is the hadith said.

                                    Murtad and raddad according to hadith, the punishment is death sentence.

                                    What they did ?
                                    Christian and all religions are also mocking God's teaching . .
                                    Therefore, did they killed people ?

                                      The ayats was used for Mohammed, then as ordinary people we need his example to understand the ayats.
                                      Muhammad is moobalegh, the living example for implementation of Quranic verses

                                        You are repeating again, I said "FIRST STAGE" is the Quran . . .

                                        Just a simple word from the Quran, "kill alll disbelievers". . can you refer that kind of ayat ?

                                        Yes

                                        Do you believe in this ayat ?

                                        There shall be no compulsion in the religion. 2.256

                                        And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely.
                                        Then, , would you compel the people in order that they become believers?
                                        And it is not for a soul to believe except by permission of Allah
                                        and He will place defilement upon those who will not use reason
                                        1099-100

                                        So remind, ; you are only a reminder.
                                        You are not over them a controller.
                                        However, he who turns away and disbelieves -
                                        Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
                                        Indeed, to Us is their return.
                                        Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
                                        8821-26
