I have been here before and I still don't understand this place. As far as I can tell, its people who have chosen Islam but have taken from it what they want and disregarded what they don't want. Like religion is a buffet and you eat what you like.

One thing that really bothers me is the distinction between the hadith and the Quran. You people have disregarded the hadith and focus entirely on the Quran. That is how you can justify the drinking of alcohol and other things that are prohibited.

But those that don't follow the teachings of the prophet Muhammad(pbuh) are not muslims. I'm sure you are going to jump up and refute this in a few minutes, but what is the point. Is that what you are here for? To mislead others?

I have noticed thaqt this site is owned by a christian from New Zealand. Their is nothing wrong with that, but what else are you not telling us? Are you being paid by some organisation? If not, tell me how it is possible for you to be on 24/7.

The Prophet (saas) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to teach the Sunnah to his companions in word and deed, and urged them to follow it, as he said in his hadeeth ?Adhere to my Sunnah? and ?Whoever neglects my Sunnah does not belong to me.? ?Abd-Allaah ibn Mas?ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (saas) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said ?There is no Prophet whom Allaah sent to any nation before me, but he had disciples from among his nation, and companions who followed his Sunnah and obeyed his commands.? (Narrated by Muslim, no. 71).

Finally, for those with minds, from theQuran;

"And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, leave it. And fear Allah truly Allah is severe in punishment. "

and from the hadith;

Allah's Apostle related to us, two prophetic narrations one of which I have seen fulfilled and I am waiting for the fulfillment of the other. The Prophet told us that the virtue of honesty descended in the roots of men's hearts (from Allah) and then they learned it from the Qur'an and then they learned it from the Sunna (the Prophet's traditions). The Prophet further told us how that honesty will be taken away He said "Man will go to sleep during which honesty will be taken away from his heart and only its trace will remain in his heart like the trace of a dark spot; then man will go to sleep, during which honesty will decrease further still, so that its trace will resemble the trace of blister as when an ember is dropped on one's foot which would make it swell, and one would see it swollen but there would be nothing inside. People would be carrying out their trade but hardly will there be a trustworthy person. It will be said, 'in such-and-such tribe there is an honest man,' and later it will be said about some man, 'What a wise, polite and strong man he is!' Though he will not have faith equal even to a mustard seed in his heart." No doubt, there came upon me a time when I did not mind dealing (bargaining) with anyone of you, for if he was a Muslim his Islam would compel him to pay me what is due to me, and if he was a Christian, the Muslim official would compel him to pay me what is due to me, but today I do not deal except with such-and-such person.
