Let me get this straight: are traditionalists disbelievers or not?
-
I don't think it's fair to ask such a question to start with. It is only God who judges. Only He knows what's deep down in everyone's heart. People far away on Islands with no technology and no books believe in what? are they all going to hell? it's not for us to say!
No one knows how long they're going to live, but you have your whole life to find a path. God gives signs and chances to people.

well they can't be called 'disbelievers' since they do believe in God, i just don't know why they call us names and make a big deal about us not following hadith or why quranaloners make a big deal about them following hadith, it's not like they're setting up partners with God, neither are we, so why all this fighting/arguing? isn't it more important that we believe in God and last day and do good works?
569 Surely those who believe; and those who are Jewish, and the Sabians, and the Nazarenes, whomever of them believes in God and the Last Day and does good work; then they will have nothing to fear nor will they grieve
I consider myself to have been a Mushriq before; following Hadeeth and the opininions of Imams which is precicely Shirk.
how is following hadith or imams shirk?

Peace nerspi, sorry to say this, but you haven't understood a thing about what God alone is. And to reply to the question about those who are far away in the islands, well i'm on an island yet i came to God alone thru an inborn monotheist intuition after being a traditionalist. Now what about aborigenes who live in the forest? R K got it right. We are born into such and such tribe or community according to our previous deeds in the 1st life or life before being born on earth. God chose some souls to be born as aborigenes and thus to be deprived of guidance. That's maybe cause in the 1st life, they were wicked, otherwise God would be unjust and God is never unjust.

Peace nerspi, followin hadith is a great tragedy, it means you are not accepting God's book alone. Hadith are sometimes contradictory with quran. Shall we follow what men invented instead of what God decreed? Muslims execute adulterers by stoning them. Isn't that murder? Who said they have to be stoned to death? Hadith writers. If you believe in such hadith and participate in the stoning, aren't you a transgressor?
-
Koran says follow Gospel and Torah and they are filled with hadiths.
Quran says follow gospel and torah, not hearsay of humans. Stating, that the true gospel and torah have no hearsay.
-
For me i feel like the "traditionalists" don't take the Quran seriously. Like when God says that Quran is complete perfect, they keep thinking that there are divine revelations outside the Quran. Like when i say to a friend "but God say that quran is complete perfect" he says "well ok but you need hadith in order to explain the quran, because it's from the prophet ect..." but then why taking as a ruling hadiths "qudsi" as divine laws like stonning or how to pray or how to do hajj?
Or quoting the hadith instead of ayats of the quran, like when the friend said "prophet prohibited women to wear pants"
Well God says in the quran that women shouldn't show their beauties, their forms, to cover the torso...
-
"but then why taking as a ruling hadiths "qudsi" as divine laws like stonning or how to pray or how to do hajj?
Hadith qudsi has no role in any law making. In fact, it's void of any rules or punishment. Just spritual. And beautiful.

Torso? confused
And this becomes pants are forbidden!!!
How about tight skirts? Will that make skirts forbidden? -

If a women is wearing tight skirt and looking good... mashaAllah,.. its perfectly halal and if she is looking horrible...estaghfirullah,... it should be forbidden!

How about tight skirts? Will that make skirts forbidden?Also, not torso cleavage. ;D I forgot the word when i posted this.
2431 And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and keep covered their private parts, and that they should not reveal their beauty except what is apparent, and let them put forth their shawls over their cleavage. And let them not reveal their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or the sons of their brothers, or the sons of their sisters, or their women, or those committed to them by oath, or the male servants who are without need, or the child who has not yet understood the composition of women. And let them not strike with their feet in a manner that reveals what they are keeping hidden of their beauty. And repent to God, all of you believers, that you may succeed.

Peace Nerspi,
"how is following hadith or imams shirk?" It is setting up sources of law other than God, who is the Sole Lawgiver. This is one of the main reasons why sects have arisen. Just look at the s.c. "four schools of Islam", the initiators of which branded each other with the worst of names, that they wouldn't even use for the Kaafirun.

peace
what about other laws, country laws, trafic laws, company laws... ? we follow those laws, is that shirk?
sometimes friends or teachers in school tell you to do something for them... is it shirk to obey them?and several hf (hadith followers) told me that they don't consider anything or anyone equal to God, so how could they be commiting shirk? ok maybe they do do it they just don't know it.
but what is shirk really? what is considered shirk? how can we know we're not commiting shirk unintentionally?

So guys, finally, what is yr real position concerning traditionalists? Bear in mind that this site itself has articles such as 'why do muslims lose?' or 'warning to our loved ones'
[/quotePeace Tarikh
Here is the ruling of God"And whoever does not judge by what Allah revealed, then they are Kafirun." (Surat Al-Maidah, Ayah 44). Who are we to disagree? giveup -
Peace,
Lol, but kafiruns!!!!???
Yeah let me get this straight, You can only fool yourself and other people to some degrees but never God.
So when you are a kaffirun you are actually fooling yourself by not listen to the truth from your Lord. And who to blame? Only yourself.

I was surprised to see many didnt consider traditionalists as disbelievers. Some confessed they go to trad mosques and pray there, others say they participate in eid, some get offended by the fact that i mentioned from chapter 63, traditionalists are amongst hypocrites who utter a false shahada.

I am happy to see you are asking very valid question.
Who is a disbeliever?
the one who does not really believe in God but doe all the rituals for show or to appear pious and an hypocrite is in fact a disbelieves as Qur?an condemns them as people who will not enter paradise and will be in the lowest part of hell in other words the same condemnation as for mushriks ? why ?
Because a hypocrite takes this world to be their god and does all to get appreciation from people around them. They say what you want to hear in your company but when they are with the other lot they join them like one of them. So you would find them in many sections of society; the main thing is to recognise them.
As for mosques check this 09108 Do not stand in it ever (E), a mosque/place of worshipping God (E) founded (established) on the fear and obedience (of God) from (the) first day (is) more worthy/deserving that you stand in it, in it (are) men they love/like that they purify themselves mentally and physically , and God loves/likes the pure/clean .
Free-Minds Do not uphold in it ever. A temple that is founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy that you uphold in it; in it are men who love to be cleansed. And God loves the cleansed.
Today almost all mosques are build by committee who do not pay any attention to the funds they receive as long as they get to build mosque and attract the most possible faithful.
The Imams are paid employees who get their salaries to do the job. They are not servant of Allah they get their reward in terms of their wage so why would pray behind those who are only doing their job?
Peace be with you
Farida
