Hadith/Traditions

Does the Hadith have a Solid Historical Basis?

 

By Abdur Rab (email: rab_abdur@yahoo.com)

An earlier adaption from some sections of a chapter in Abdur's book "Exploring Islam in a New Light".

A summary of the book "Rethinking Tradition in Modern Islamic Thought" by Daniel Brown.

 

Definitions:
Hadith = saying (or report/statement/tale)

MESSENGER OF GOD: THE GREAT CONFLICT

Say: "Obey GOD and obey the messenger." But if they turn away, then he is only responsible for his obligation, and you are responsible for your obligations. And if you obey him, you will be guided. The messenger is only required to DELIVER CLEARLY. [Quran, 24:54]

The title of this article is based on one of the most favorite quotes from the Quran that the traditionalists like to isolate and take totally out of context. Even though there are quite a few verses in the Quran which mention things such as:

"Obey Allah and obey His messenger."

"He who obeys Allah and His messenger does so for his own soul."

Refutations

In the name of GOD, the Almighty, Most Merciful.

After being around for a number of years now, the movement of Islam based on 'GOD Alone' has caused some stir in the circles of 'traditionalists' who seek to silence our voices while implementing their corruption of the holy scriptures to allow for tyranny, oppression, and uncompassion as a way to GOD!.

We have selected a number of articles written against our position by these 'Islamists' and will easily (by the grace of GOD) show the  inconsistencies with their arguments (our comments are in red). 

Who Authorized Bukhari?

By Layth (e-mail: laytth@hotmail.com)

Imam Bukhari (died in 256H/870A.D), was well known for his compilation of Hadith/Sayings attributed to the prophet (peace be upon him). Al-Bukahri is considered by the majority of Muslims to be the 2nd source for Islam after the holy Book and is used by the majority to 'explain' the revelations of the Quran by showing what the prophet and his companions used to do/say.
