The manipulation of 33:21
.
"The messenger of God has set a good example for those among you
who seek God and the Last Day, and constantly think about God." 33:21
.
This glorious Quranic verse has been very badly
manipulated by those who wish to find any justification for upholding the sunna of
the messenger. And since the Quran states clearly that the only sunna is the sunna
of God
(33:62....35:43.....48:23), hence they had to manipulate any Quranic words to make
premises for their cherished sunna.
According to such scholars, they claim that the messenger has set a good example
for the believers, and thus all believers
have to follow everything he did, from how he observed his prayers and hajj to
even
with which foot he
entered the toilet, how he blew his nose in the morning and even whether he
urinated standing up or seated. Obviously this is not the
message of 33:21. When we read the words in 33:21
we find them much more precise than
to accomodate such a claim.
The corrupt
scholars
always repeat
the words
"oswaton
hasana"
(good
example) from
33:21 yet they
totally
disregard the
rest of the
verse. When
we consider
all the words
in 33:21 we
find that God
tells us that
the prophet
has set a good
example in
specifically
two matters,
they are:
1- The
messenger
has set a good
example for
"those among
you who seek
God and the
Last Day"
2- The
messenger
has set a good
example for
those who
"constantly
think about
God."
As a result,
God is very
specific in
telling us in
what capacity
did the
messenger set
a good
example. He
did not set an
example in
everything he
has ever
done, nor
should he be
followed
blindly as a
person, but he
set an
example in
specifically
those two
matters.
Consequently,
we should
also"seek
God and the
Last Day, and
constantly
think about
God."
We do not
need volumes
upon volumes
of fabricated
tales from the
likes of Abu
Huraira or
others to be
able to seek
God and the
last day nor to
constantly
think of God.
