One God / One Source Cont’d from page 1 QURAN: An Extraordinary Book
Despite the clear commandments, why do the followers of Hadith & Sunna fail to uphold Quran alone? The answer is provided in the same Sura following the commandment shown on Page 8. Verses 45 and 46 of Sura 17 inform us that those who refuse to believe God and heed His commandment to uphold Quran ALONE are deliberately isolated from Quran. These two crucial verses are shown below: “When you read the Quran, we place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier. And we place shields on their hearts, to prevent them from understanding Quran, and deafness in their ears. Consequently, when you preach your Lord IN THE QURAN ALONE they run away in aversion.” (17:45-46) What More Can We Say?? Do You Believe God or Not? God says that Quran is complete, perfect, & fully detailed, and that you shall not seek any other source: “We did not leave anything out of this book, then all will be gathered before their Lord (for judgment). Those who do not believe our verses are deaf and dumb; in total darkness. God sends astray whomever He wills, and directs whomever He wills in the right path.” (6:38-39) “Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED? (6:114) “The word of your Lord is COMPLETE in truth and justice.” (6:115) | THE CONSEQUENCE OF NOT BELIEVING GOD … God says that Quran is complete, perfect, and fully detailed. His commandments are clear and strict that YOU SHALL NOT UPHOLD ANYTHING ELSE BESIDE QURAN as a source of religious guidance [6:114]. Now, you have the total freedom to decide to believe God, or to reject His statements, and ignore His commandments, provided you are willing (or unwilling) to accept the consequences. You agree, no doubt, that refusing to believe God is a very serious offense. Just how serious is expressed in verse 40 of Sura 7: “Surely, those who do not believe our revelations, and are too arrogant to heed them, the gates of the sky never open for them, nor will they ever enter Paradise until the camel passes through the needle’s eye. We thus requite the guilty.” (7:40) Thus, it is A PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY for those who refuse to believe God to enter Paradise. IMPORTANT CRITERION OF DIVINE REVELATION Some people claim that the “Hadith & Sunna” are divine revelations. Obviously, they are not aware that the criterion of divine revelation is PERFECT PRESERVATION. Since the so-called hadith & sunna of the Prophet have been vastly corrupted, they can never meet the criterion of divine revelation. It is an acknowledged fact that the vast majority of Hadiths are false fabrications. “We have sent down the revelation, and we will surely preserve it.” (15:9) “Indeed, this is an honorable scripture. Falsehood could never
| enter it in the past, present, or future; a revelation from the Most Wise, the Most Praised.” (41:41-42) The blasphemy is evident when they claim that Hadith and Sunna are divine revelations. Do they not realize that God Almighty is capable of preserving His revelations? HADITH & SUNNA = 100% CONJECTURE Although God declares that Quran is FULLY DETAILED, and shall be the only source, the majority of Muslims have been duped into following the conjecture known as Hadith & Sunna. While Quran is proven by PHYSICAL EVIDENCE to be the authentic and unaltered word of God (see the book, QURAN: Visual Presentation of the Miracle), Hadith and Sunna are unanimously recognized as conjecture. “Shall I seek OTHER THAN GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed THIS BOOK FULLY DETAILED? ....The word of your Lord is COMPLETE, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words; He is the hearer, the omniscient. Yet, if you obey the majority of people, they will take you away from the path of God. That is because they follow CONJECTURE, and they fail to think.” (6:114-116) “They insist upon following conjecture, when the guidance is given to them herein from their Lord.” (53:23) Ed.s note: The above are taken from the book Quran, Hadith and Islam by Rashad Khalifa, Ph.D. However, the Arabic texts for the verses are not included, which are in the book.
