A Dozen reasons why believers should follow By : A. Muhammad 1- The Quran commands all Muslims to follow the Quran Alone, this command is found in numerous verses, the following are examples: "These are God's revelations that We recite to you truthfully. In which Hadith other than God and His revelations do they believe?" 45:6 "Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed?" 6:114 2- The Quran confirms that the only Sunna is the Sunna of God. No where in the Quran is there any mention of a Sunna for Muhammad!!!! "You will find that the Sunna of Allah is the only Sunna" (33:62....35:43.....48:23) 3- The Quran confirms that the only duty of Muhammad (or of any messenger) is to deliver God's message, and not to teach any other teachings. "The only duty of the messenger is to deliver God's message" 5:99 (also in 5:92.... 16:35.......16:82.....24:54.......29:18.....42:48.......64:12) 4- God commands the believers to obey the prophet, but God also makes sure that the obedience to the prophet is linked to obeying the message he delivered and nothing else. Obeying the prophet does not mean that he had a Sunna to be obeyed. The confirmation that the obedience of the prophet is linked to obeying the message he delivered (the Quran) is confirmed in the following verse: "Obey God and obey the messenger. If you shall turn away then the sole of the messenger is to deliver the message (the Quran)" 64:12 Note how the obedience to the prophet and the deliverance of the Quran are linked in the same verse. 5- You will never read any where in the Quran words like "Obey God and obey Muhammad" or obey Jesus, or Moses..........always the word messenger........that is to emphasise that what is to be obeyed is the message of God and not the personal words of any messenger. 6- The Quran also confirms that Muhammad was commanded not to teach any other teachings, otherwise he would incur severe punishment from God: "It (the Quran) is a revelation from the Lord of the universe. Had he (Muhammad) uttered any other teachings, We would have grabbed him by the right, and We would have severed his Wateen (Major artery of the heart), none of you could have helped him." 69:43-47 7- Muhammad was made to swear that the only revelation he received from God was the Quran. The following verse confirms that all what is known as (Hadith Qodsy) are lies that the prophet is innocent of: "Say (O Muhammad) what is of the greatest testimony? Say: God is the witness between me and you, and this Quran has been inspired to me, that I may warn you and whomever it reaches" 6:19 If the hadith Al-Qodsy was truly God speaking to Muhammad as they falsely claim would'nt the verse carry a testimony to that ??? Nowhere in the Quran is there any indication that Muhammad received from God anything other than the Quran. 8- Prophet Muhammad himself commanded his people not to write his hadith, this is documented in Muslim and other books: "Do not write down anything of me except the Quran. Whoever writes other than that should delete it" (Ahmed, Vol. 1, page 171.....also Sahih Muslim) 9- For the first 150 years to 200 years after the death of the prophet the writing of his hadith was forbidden, in accordance with his commands. The first one to document a comprehensive collection of hadith was Al-Bukhari (Note that Al-Bukhari was born in the year 198 After Hijrah..........does that make you think ?? ) Even if we were to follow the hadith, how accurate can a collection of sayings documented two centuries after the death of the prophet be ? 10- God commands the prophet in the Quran to say that he is infallible in the revelation he delivers, but that he may commit errors in his personal words and hadith: "Say: If I err , I err because of my shortcomings, and if I am rightly guided it is due to the revelation I receive from my Lord" 34:50 In spite of this confirmation and also 6 incidents in the Quran when the prophet is reprimanded by God, for errors he committed, the worshippers of Muhammad claim that he was infallible!!!! These 6 incidents are found in (8:67-68......9:43.......9:113-114........ 33:37..........66:1.........80:1-11 ) 11- The Quran confirms that for every prophet there will be enemies of the devils of humans and jinns who will fabricate fancy sayings and attribute them to the prophet to deceive the people: "We have permitted the enemies of every prophet, human and jinn devils, to inspire in each other fancy sayings, in order to deceive" 6:112 God also asserts that only the disbelievers will listen to such fabrications (see 6:113) 12- Finally, we are told that the Quran is totally sufficient for the genuine believer for the following reasons: A- The Quran is not in need of an annex since it is complete: "The word of your Lord is complete in truth and justice" 6:115 B- The Quran is not in need of an explanatory supplement since it is clear and is not ambiguous: "A.L.R. These are the signs of the clear book" 12:1 "We have made it (the Quran) easy to understand and in your own tongue (language) may you take heed." 44:58 C- The Quran is not in need of a correction manual since it is perfect and harbours no contradictions: "A.L.R. This is a book whose verses have been perfected" 11:1 D- The Quran is not in need of a step by step guide since it is fully detailed: "Shall I seek
other than
God as a
source of
law, when
He has
revealed to
you this
book fully
detailed?"
