Collection of Fazlur Rahman's works and info
http//fazlur-rahman.livejournal.comFrom what I have read so far, his approach is often logical and interesting. Some may find it useful.

Rahman argued that, in order to understand the ideal and the contingent in Qur?anic pronouncements, the best tool available was ?historical criticism?, which could clarify the context and the rationale of the guidance, and distinguish the ideal from the contingent.
That is what people who reject for once and all the Islamic history i.e (Hadith, Sunnah and sirah) should understand.

His book titled "Islam" is interesting a recommended read to help understand how islam has shaped.
Raaajah, most people reject/ hadith/sunnah/sirah as a source of law. btw in what way do you mean sunnah? do you mean it in a different sense of hadith? also sirah and hadith were compiled in different ways.
Rahman says historical criticism, something people who accept hadith/sunnah/sirah should understand.

He rightly says this, as only those who accept hadith/Sunnah/Sirah can understand the criticism on these sources and those who reject these sources for once and all simply reject them. As he has explained with examples that it is near to impossible at several verses to understand Quran without the help of these sources.

He believes in the living sunnah, if you read his work you will realise he criticizes hadith even rejects certain hadith.
People can criticise without being a follower, it's called research with logical arguments. At university people study things they don't necessarily agree with they can still come up with a logical, coherent argument.
So I disagree with your conclusion.

He rightly does this, all the well known scholars do that, for example Maulana Maududi, Javed Ghamidi, Amin Islahi and many others..

I said who accept and did not said who follow, there is a difference.
But before arriving at any conclusion or developing any argument they study the Subject in detail, without accepting it for your studies you cannot criticize it. Most of those who reject Hadith have not even studied it, they just think that any thing not from Quran has ZERO credibility. In fact these sources are very good tools to understand the Quran.So I disagree with your conclusion.
You are free to, but after reading above may you like to re-consider?

do you gain pleasure in arguing?
btw my name has a 'h' in it.

I said who accept and did not said who follow, there is a difference.one who accepts and does not follow is a hypocrite. i wouldnt advise people to follow hypocrites.

why do you care about others? did you not read my comment? i gave you an analogy of university students they may not agree with the content and come up with a coherent argument! dude that's based on credibility not rejection with no basis. anyway why are you so hung up? are you a hadith follower or something?
You are free to, but after reading above may you like to re-consider?
no, try understand my position before arguing about your opinion.

SarahY with "h" in it
do you gain pleasure in arguing?
that is so mean of you. I was just trying to discuss, did I argue with you? and even in some corner of my mind if I had to, after reading this, I don't think so you are the right person.

You asked the question first, I had to reply, but......
and will you please do me a favor by not answering. Thanks. -
What's the point in the above? trying to defend yourself.
I asked you a question you thought it was so mean of me, it's called perception and that's gathered by the way you portray yourself.
besides you didn't answer the relevant question. "but..." nothing
p.s if you're going to bicker and not get on with a convo that is relevant don't bother. if that's mean so be it, there is a function for irrelevant messages it's the private message option.
