SOME VERSES TO PONDER OVER by DR. SOHIL MOMIN

===QURAN ABOUT HADITHS AND SUNNAH===

 

 

111 - It is not a word (hadith) invented, but a confirmation of what was sent before it, a detailed exposition of all things and a guide and a mercy to any such as believe. 

12 Joseph, 111 

 

 

In this verse, the fact that the Quran is not a word invented, and that it is a detailed exposition of all things is stressed; a fact to which the traditionalists have remained blind. The Quran states that the Quran is not a fabricated word (hadith). 

 

 

6 - Following after them in grief, if they believe not in this word (hadith). 

18 The Cave, 6 

 

 

6 – These are God’s signs that We recite to you truthfully. In which word (hadith) other than God and His signs do they believe? 

45 Kneeling, 6 

 

 

87 - And whose word (hadith) can be truer than God’s? 

4 The Women, 87 

 

 

34 - Let them produce a word (hadith) like this, if they are truthful. 

52 The Mount, 34 

 

 

6 – Among the people, there are those who spread frivolous words (hadiths) to mislead others from the way of God, and take it in vain. For such there will be a humiliating penalty. 

31 Luqmaan, 6 

 

 

53 - “Enter not the Prophet’s houses until leave is given you for a meal …and when you have taken your meal; disperse without tarrying, lost in a hadith (word).” 

3 The Parties, 53 

 

 

3 - When the Prophet disclosed a hadith in confidence to one of his consorts, and she then divulged it, and God made it known to him... 

66 Prohibition, 3 

 

 

43 - Now are they but looking for the way the ancients were dealt with? But no change will you find in God’s way (sunnatullah): no turning off will you find in God’s way (sunnatullah). 

35 The Originator, 43 

 

 

62 - Such was the way of God (sunnatullah) among those who lived previously; no change will you find in the practice of God (sunnatullah). 

33 The Parties, 62 

 

 

 

===IDJMA===

 

 

The word idjma (general agreement in opinion and decision of legalists) and its derivatives, considered to be another source of Islam, again has a negative connotation. This is evidence that the Quran also repudiates ijma just like in the case of sunna and hadith.

 (For the derivatives of ijma, see 3 The Family of Imran, 157; 3 The Family of Imran, 173; 7 The Purgatory, 48; 10 Jonah, 58; 10 Jonah, 71; 12 Joseph, 19; 17 The Children of Israel, 88; 20 Taha 60; 20 Taha 64; 22 The Pilgrimage, 73; 26 The Poets, 38; 26 The Poets, 39; 26 The Poets, 56; 28 The History, 78; 43 Vanity, 32; 54 The Moon, 44; 54 The Moon, 45; 70 The Heights, 18; 104 The Backbiter, 2.) 

 

 

 

===SECTS===

 

 

114 - Say: “Shall I seek a judge other than God? When He it is Who sent unto you the Book, explained in detail.” 

6 The Cattle, 114 

 

 

115 - The Word of your Lord is complete in truth and in justice. None can change His words. He is the Hearer, the Knower. 

 

 

116 – If you obey the majority of people on the earth, they will divert you from the path of God. They follow only conjecture, they only guess. 

6 The Cattle, 115-116 

 

 

159 - As for those who divide their religion and break it up into sects, they do not belong with you. He will then inform them of everything they had done. 

6 The Cattle, 159 

 

 

105 - Be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving clear signs. 

3 The Family of Imran, 105 

 

 

103 – Hold on firmly together to the rope of God, and be not divided among yourselves. 

3 Family of Imran, 103
