    Can any expert in Arabic tell me if the word "Rashada" (ra-sha-da) has any connection with the word Rashad? If so then the hadith that states the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad would be false, as he's stating in 7221 that he CANNOT guide people, and that it's only God who guides. Yet the SAME Imams say this hadith in the khutbah, then later say "he who is guided by Allah indeed has been guided" ok...so which one is it? Or are you referring to Muhammad as God? Damn this is almost like idol worship...

    We know the way of Muhammad is correct but people are confusing the sunna of Muhammad (according to HADITH) and the sunna of Muhammad according to the Quran! Muhammad's sunna was based on God's sunna, which is in the Quran! It's NOT in the hadith which hadithists say elaborates on the Quran, that calls itself DETAILED ON EVERY ISSUE! (moofassalan ala kul shei'h) AND CONDEMNS ANY OTHER SAYINGS BESIDES IT!

      n.vb. 2256, 46, 7146, 1866, 2151, 722
      pcple. act. 497

      rashad n.m. 1810, 1824, 7210, 7214, 7221

      rashad n.m. 4029, 4038

      Contrary to "popular beliefs" there are only 2 major sects in Islam , not 73 as the Muhammadans like to tell the goats that follow the Mullahs and their hadiths .

      1. The Muhammadans - People of this group represent the bulk of Stone-Worshippers who thinks that Prophet Muhammad is the beloved
        of Allah . They regard The Hadiths as 'Sacred' and accused The Qur'an of being just a "guideline" to be recited
        during "Ritual Salat" and special occasions and good for Decorating the book case .

      2. The Followers of Muhammad -These groups of people only serve God alone and take the Qur'an as their only guide to life , and they do
        not worship stone cube or turn their faces East and West to worship Allah . Mostly this second group of
        people prefer to be judged by their actions and they tend to want to verify things before they believe or
        follow anything and they are not into hadiths .

      " Say If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful " ( 331 ) .

      The first group idolised Prophet Muhammad based on the above verse , the second follow the "Message" brought by Prophet Muhammad i.e The Qur'an and serve only god .

      " O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the last day; this is better and very good in the end " ( 459 ) .

      The first group interpret this verse as obeying Allah = Obeying The Qur'an , obeying the Messenger = Following Hadiths/Sunnah and The Authority = Their Ulama/Scholars .

      Whereas , the second group generally takes obey god and abey the messenger as one and the same , that is "Obeying/Following" The Message , and 'The Authority' as The law of the land wherever they live as long as this law does not contradict god's law .

      This is just my current take of the divisions of Islam as a whole , so I do not take any sub-sects into consideration at all for they all fit into those 2 categories above . ( check out the root of Rashada for correct meaning ...is it the rightly guided or al rashid ? ) .

      Peace

        It is used as a noun. "Rashad" is stated after "Al-" so rashad is an adjective. Rashada is a noun stated like this "wala rashada" meaning "neither rashada" and as far as I'm concerned, this is refering to guidance. Yusuf Ali's translation is an agreement.

          Anyway aside from all that I said, can anyone show me a verse or verses from the Quran that is against complaining to God, or complaining about God? In other words if misfortune befalls you is it a sin to think God disgraced you? Of course he would prefer that you are still thankful but I was just wondering if complaining is anti-Quranic. My current guess is yes it is.
