Quote:Does not Islam have a symbol? Is Ramadan taught in the Qur'an or was it derived after the Qur'an and time of Mohammed?
<b>Yes Ramadan is taught in the Qur’an. </b>
The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.
Qur'an (2:185).
Quote:Is there nothing that Muslims do which is based on tradition as opposed to explicitly being taught in the Qur'an?
There are the traditions of the prophet Muhammad pbuh whom we follow <b>BECAUSE we are also told in the Qur’an to follow his example and tradition.</b> But we don’t follow innovations that has nothing to do with religion.
As we said many times, our faith is based on these 2 sources. The Qur’an and the example of our beloved prophet Muhammad PBUH.
