But that does not mean it was meant to serve as a standalone manual of law and rituals.
So you are going against what the Quran says as quoted to previously. Allah has said he could have sent down many books if he would have wanted to and he is not short on words.
18.110 Say : "If only the sea were ink for the words of my LORD , the sea would run out before the words of my LORD runs out , even if We brought the like of it in supply ."
“Hikmah” is not secular wisdom.
Nobody said it was, and it definitely not hadith or "
divinely authorized teachings" how was this conclusion even reached!!!! Like I said one has to make great mental leaps and do a lot of verbal gymnastics in order to somehow justify hadith.
In 5:3 is very clear when Allah says TODAY I have completed the deen for you, so anything that comes after this "day" is definetly not part of the deen. Because Allah says so. Be it hadith, tafsir etc etc. As I said earlier the Quran explains itself. Read 2:269, 31:12, 2:251, 3.48, 4.54 So hikmah in all these ayats means the hadith or sunnah of Muhammad? In fact the Quran is devoid of the phrase sunnat ur rasool or nabi, the only sunnah mentioned is the sunnah of Allah.
“59:7 is about war booty, not Hadith.”
Yes, the verse arises in a specific context — but the
language is universal
Traditionalists wish it was because it really strenghtens their case for hadith but it really isn't. It is talking about a very specific incident. Of Allah had wanted us to follow hadith he would give us such a command clearly
IMMAMAT
“Where is the Prophet’s Tafsir?”
The Prophet
was the tafsir. He
lived the Qur’an, as Aisha (RA) said:
“His character was the Qur’an.”
(Sahih Muslim)
His khutbahs, decisions, practices, and interactions
are the practical tafsir of the Book. The Qur’an gave the
principles, the Prophet gave them
legs to walk on.
So then why did the Prophet make sure the Quran was written down word for word and propagated within his lifetime and left the task of the Oh So important hadith to just random people hoping somebody somewhere sometime would preserve them for the entire ummah till the end of time. Does this make any logical sense? If at the very least he would entrust one of his most trusted companions with this project. Even that doesn't occur.
“Why don’t we find a Hadith for every verse?”
Because not every verse requires explanation. The Qur’an is often
self-evident in belief, but requires the Sunnah for
law and practice.
Oh so now the Quran is self evident when the traditionalist want it to be but it isn't when they have make justifications for their hadith. Although the Quran literally screams it is a clear and detailed book, explained very well. But no we will not take Allah's word for it, rather we will follow manmade books written centuries after he passed away.
You can keep repeating this til the cows come home.
In hadith sciences, the term majhūl (مجهول) means “unknown”, and it refers to a narrator whose identity or reliability is unclear — which usually weakens the hadith.
Definition of Mahjul:
A majhūl narrator is one about whom the scholars of hadith have not given enough information to determine whether they are reliable (thiqqah) or weak (ḍaʿīf).
There are two main types of majhūl:
There are two main types of majhūl:
Majhūl al-‘Ayn A narrator only mentioned by one scholar or has only one narrator who transmits from him.
Majhūl al-Ḥāl A narrator who is known by name and more than one person narrates from him, but no scholar has evaluated his reliability.
Firabri falls in the second category. No scholar evaluated his relibility while he was alive. Yes they came in many years later after he died even many centuries later to cover up this hole.
And yet, the entire preservation of the Qur’an itself relies on the same chain-based historical transmission
It absolutely doesn't, I am so fed up with the traditional saying this in a vain attempt trying to justify their hadith. First of all the Quran was mass transmitted ( tuwattar ) from the time it was revealed while less than 5% of hadith is tawattur which includes even if it had just 4 isnads. And if that is the case then lets see isnad for each and every verse going back to the Prophet or at the very least for every surah. No such thing exists.
We don't need isnads and tawattur for the Quran because
75:17 We shall make sure of its safe collection and recitation.
15:9)“Indeed, it is We who sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We will be its Guardian.”
Allah gurantees it, so such gurantee exists for the hadith.
And yet Islamic law, theology, and even history are built on verified ahad reports
That is actually NOT a good thing or something to be proud off. It fact this is one of the major problems with following hadiths. In fact you can do a quick search and find out from your own sources things which you have made part of your fiqh and law have issues in their chains, yet as always convinently swept under the carpet, more rules bent and criteria from sahih drops down to Ahsan i,e even acceptable graded hadith will do with which we will judge and rule over people. How does this NOT go against the concept of Adl in the Quran??
Now you’re openly rewriting the Arabic language.
Nope. I can post you links where everthing is explained it detail from the Quran as how salah is mistranslated a somekind of daily ritual prayer, saum as somekind of refrainment from food etc etc. Its very late here and I'm not going to sit and type out everything, unlike you I don't just cut and paste from chatgpt. So it takes real time and effort for a detailed reply.
So, the Sahaba were mushriks? The Tabi’un were mushriks? The preservers of the Qur’an were also preserving shirk?
They were not, thats why you have no hadith collections popping up in the their time, only when the first generations of the early Muslims passed away that hadith started to pop up, first there were 138, then their were 1700 then there were 7000 and as more time passed instead of people losing information the opposite happened, more hadith started to comeout of the woodworks. Where today if we included all hadith know to us the number could be anywhere from 600,000 to a million hadith. Now that is a miracle!!!!
Remove Hadith, and you have a book with no blueprint, a religion with no rituals, and a Prophet with no purpose.
If you really think that, then you truly really haven't read the Quran and understood it. But I know for traditionalist they need to have their rituals because for them there is no Islam without their rituals and no rituals can be found in the Quran. The traditionalist need a superhero cleberity a demigod to worship, someone who who can quench the thrist of an large contingent with water which flows out of his fingers, somewho who flys on winged horses through the skies, someone whose spit, blood and even urine is sacred and people drink and wash themselves in it because who ever did so hell fire couldn't touch them or they would never get sick again. A man of mans who could sleep with a dozen women and satify them all in a night so on and so forth. Someones name they can inscribe right next to Allah's in their masjids and bow down to it five times a day. Someone whose name is taken daily in prayers which are suppose to be exclusive to God.
Unfortunately the Prophet of the Quran was just a bashar from his people among his people for his people. And not a celebrity miraculous superhero like the Muhammad of the Hadith.
You don’t want the Prophet's Islam.
You want your version of it — and that’s not submission. That’s ego.
No we want Allah's Islam that was given to us in the Quran through the Messenger. Believing all the Islam exist in books written by defeated persians 200 years after the Prophet died is nothing but shirk!
25:30 "And the Messenger will say, 'O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’an as [a thing] abandoned.'"
