what middle man have we put in? we are practicing the legacy left behind by the prophet(pbuh). because he was the best example of a muslim. again i must ask what hierarchy are you referring to? shock

some of the hadiths are weak, which go against the teachings of the Qur'an, and some are strong ahadiths. obviously if something sounds ridiculous you simply use your own brain and not believe in it.

Hadiths are the sayings of our beloved prophet (saw), the second generations narrated these.

I still solely follow the Qur'an, AGAIN HADITHS ARE SUPPLEMENTARY FORM of understanding the Qur'anic commandments. First we should find the references in the Qur'an and then go to secondary sources.

I read in some other posts, that sunni's are idol worshippers, Astagfirrilah people here have some deviant thoughts about the practices of Sunni's

I accidently stumbled on to this site, I read few things I didnt agree with, so I decided to join.

I hope I am not offending anyone. oops

lol

wait Sunni's are idol worshippers? shock
My my. I cant believe i've been a pagan All this time.

cry

Actually scholars differ in opinion of labeling one a "kafir" if prayers arent performed.

my point exactly.

JazakAllahkhairun bro.

Why is it useless to post...what I posted here? It related to the topic, why would I make another thread? ? ^~

Yes I have. idea

A lot of misinterpretation, and diluted ideas from quoting ayahs word to word.

but are you taking hadith in literal terms? or a message/guidance?

I implied you are saying hadith from what the topic is about.

Personally I dont think you HAVE to follow sunnah before you start reading the Qur'an, sounds ludacris. ?
I dont recall reading up hadith books before starting tafseer.

Hadith's are supplementary, but important in order to understand how the faith is practiced. Alhamdullilah, our Prophet (saw) told us exactly how to go about practicing commandments Allah swt has prescribed for us in the Qur'an.

Sunni is not a CREATED sect, its the traditions following the legacy of our beloved Prophet (saw).

I dont understand how you lot think that the Sunni's are seperate and that hadith texts are deviated.

Welcome brother.

why have you picked this particular forum to join?

Where did you get that translation from? ?

The translation from Muhsin Khan states "Do they not look in the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all things that Allah has created; and that it may be that the end of their lives is near. In what MESSAGE after this will they then believe?"
(Al-Araf-185)

or better yet translation from a number of scholars.
YUSUFALI Do they see nothing in the government of the heavens and the earth and all that Allah hath created? (Do they not see) that it may well be that their terms is nigh drawing to an end? In what message after this will they then believe?

PICKTHAL Have they not considered the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and what things Allah hath created, and that it may be that their own term draweth nigh? In what fact after this will they believe?

SHAKIR Do they not consider the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever things Allah has created, and that may be their doom shall have drawn nigh; what announcement would they then believe in after this?

It seems like you have complelety twisted the words, and read it completely out of context.
