Muslimah
I've gone nowhere, you see, I'm right here.
<b>After you read this post, you will have no doubt as to whether or not you should only follow Al-Qur'an.</b>
We, who, are Allah and Al-Qur'an Only and Alone, fully accept these ayats:
29.51 Is it not <i><b>sufficient/enough </b></i>for them that We have <i><b>revealed to you the Book </b></i>which is <i><b>recited</b></i> to them? Most surely there is mercy in this and a reminder for a people who believe.
39:23. Allahu nazzala <b>ahsana alhadeethi </b>
kitaban mutashabihan mathaniya taqshaAAirru minhu juloodu allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum thumma taleenu julooduhum waquloobuhum ila thikri Allahi thalika huda Allahi yahdee bihi man yashao waman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min hadin
39:23. Allah has revealed (from time to time) the <b>most beautiful Message </b>
in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the remembrance of Allah. Such is the guidance of Allah. He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide.
<b>The following ayats pertain to you and the followers of the hadith compilers: </b>
31:6. Wamina alnnasi man yashtaree lahwa <b>alhadeethi</b>
liyudilla AAan sabeeli Allahi bighayri AAilmin wayattakhithaha huzuwan ola-ika lahum AAathabun muheenun
31:6. But there are, among men, those who purchase <b>idle tales</b>
, without knowledge (or meaning), to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a humiliating Chastisement.
52:34. Falya/too <b>bihadeethin</b>
mithlihi in kanoo sadiqeena
52:34. Let them then produce a <b>saying</b>
like unto it,- If (it be) they speak the truth!
33:53 Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tadkhuloo buyoota alnnabiyyi illa an yu/thana lakum ila taAAamin ghayra nathireena inahu walakin itha duAAeetum faodkhuloo fa-itha taAAimtum faintashiroo wala musta/niseena <b>lihadeethin</b>
inna thalikum kana yu/thee alnnabiyya fayastahyee minkum waAllahu la yastahyee mina alhaqqi wa-itha saaltumoohunna mataAAan fais-aloohunna min wara-i hijabin thalikum atharu liquloobikum waquloobihinna wama kana lakum an tu/thoo rasoola Allahi wala an tankihoo azwajahu min baAAdihi abadan inna thalikum kana AAinda Allahi AAatheeman
[33.53] O you who believe! do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to you for a meal, not waiting for its cooking being finished-- but when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken the food, then disperse-- not seeking to listen <b>to talk</b>
; surely this gives the Prophet trouble, but he forbears from you, and Allah does not forbear from the truth And when you ask of them any goods, ask of them from behind a curtain; this is purer for your hearts and (for) their hearts; and it does not behove you that you should give trouble to the Apostle of Allah, nor that you should marry his wives after him ever; surely this is grievous in the sight of Allah.
7:185 . Awalam yanthuroo fee malakooti alssamawati waal-ardi wama khalaqa Allahu min shay-in waan AAasa an yakoona qadi iqtaraba ajaluhum fabi-ayyi <b>hadeethin</b>
baAAdahu yu/minoona.
7:185. Do they see nothing in the kingdom 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 <b>message</b>
<i><b>after this will they then believe?</b></i>
45: 6. Tilka ayatu Allahi natlooha AAalayka bialhaqqi fabi-ayyi <b>hadeethin</b>
baAAda Allahi waayatihi yu/minoona
45: 6. Such are the Signs of Allah, which We rehearse to thee in Truth; then in what <b>exposition </b>
will they <i><b>believe after Allah and His Ayats? </b></i>
77:50. Fabi-ayyi<b> hadeethin</b>
baAAdahu yu/minoona
77:50. Then what <b>Message</b>
, <i><b>after that, will they believe in?</b></i>
Allah, to my knowledege, only mentions TWO sunnah in His Qur'an...<b>the sunnah of Allah</b> and the <b>sunnah of the ancients</b>. Muslimah, show me, in Al-Qur'an, where I can written, ad verbatim, that is, word for word:
<b>"THE SUNNAH OF THE PROPHET".</b>
Now:
Some Muslims go backpacking in the remote Ozark mountains of Tenneesee and upon leaving one of them discovers that he left his Qur'an [in english] at the camp site. Well, one of the residents of the area who lives there happens upon the Qur'an and begins to read it.
Based on the above scenario, please answer the following questions, but before you do, think about what Allah is saying in the following ayats:
18.54 And certainly We have <i><b>explained in this Quran every kind of example</b></i>, and man is most of all given to contention.
29.51 Is it not <i><b>sufficient/enough </b></i>for them that We have revealed to you the Book which is recited to them? Most surely there is mercy in this and a reminder for a people who believe.
Please answer the following with a simple yes or no, thanks.
a. will that person know who Allah is and what He has commanded him/her and mankind to do?
b. Will that person know how to take shahada?
c. will that person know how to practice righteousness/justice?
d. will that person know how to call upon/pray to Allah?
e. will that person, upon reading Al-Qur'an and following its contents, be admitted to Paradise?
Looking forward to your reply. And, please, no conjectures, just facts.
