al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala at Emmanuel, Milani, Allah Hello, Hello, can you hear me
while early he or Sahih woman, woman today we had he was telling me so net he lied to me Dean am bad, Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
Welcome to another class of instilling your claim.
In the previous class, we started to address some of the common doubts
that shake the theme of some Muslims
or Muslims are addressed with these doubts. And they don't know how to properly deal with them and they don't know how to properly respond to them.
And we mentioned that
the way we'll cover these doubts is by dividing them into three into three sections.
The first is those doubts that deal with Allah subhanahu wa tada and the existence of Allah. And that is what we covered last week in the last class.
And so we covered
for example, the doubt concerning
concerning Allah subhanahu attallah.
His existence that
if
Allah subhanahu, WA, tada created everything.
And
that is a proof that we use,
then the question comes from the atheist, that who created a loss of Hannah Montana. So we dealt with this dealt with, we also dealt with
what is known as the problem of evil, the problem of evil, which is
a question that
atheists and others bring up.
That if God truly exists, then why is there evil and suffering in the world, so we dealt with
this doubt as well. And the third, the third that we dealt with, is
that science today has disproven the idea of God
or disproven Allah's existence.
So that is what we covered in the previous class.
Today, we want to look at those doubts concerning
other aspects of the foundations of Islam.
And
for this, we just want to focus on to, to doubts.
And then the third, the third section is those doubts concerning the legislations of Islam. And those doubts are many. And we'll cover that in the next class. But isn't it?
And so, the first
adult that we want to cover today is
the doubt that there's no need, there's no need for religion.
There's no need for religion.
And
this is an adult that arises
in two kinds of people.
One are those
who
they believe that a creator exists.
And they're convinced
that yes, a creator, a supreme being exists who created this entire creation,
because their evidence is for that are too convincing.
But
they claim
that this Supreme Being and this creator simply created, and then left the world
left the universe as it is, he doesn't interfere in his creation. And he doesn't communicate with us, human beings. These people are what we can call deists
These people are known as deists.
The second
group of people who would come up with this doubt, are those who are Muslims.
But they don't believe that Islam is really needed anymore in today's day and age,
or that people can practice Islam on an individual basis.
As in a secular society, where the state does not interfere with religion.
You practice your religion on an individual basis as you want.
And we the state won't interfere
in that.
So these Muslims, they say
that
there is no need for religion to be imposed on society.
There is no need for religion to be imposed on society.
Either way, the doubt here is that
we don't need religion we can do without it.
It's not that mandatory. And so this is adult that basically arises in people who they know that Allah subhanho wa Taala exists, and they're convinced about it, but there's something preventing them from submitting to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And what Allah subhanho wa Taala has sent us with.
And generally speaking, these people are
following their work.
They're following their whims and their desires.
And so they know the truth. But they don't want to submit to it.
They don't want to submit to it.
And so how do we answer this doubt? How do we go about dealing with
this doubt? Firstly,
to answer the DS, let's first respond to the deist.
The one who claims that a supreme being and creator exists, but he simply created this world and left it to be and does not interfere in it, and
does not communicate with human beings.
He doesn't guide them he has not sent them a guide, and so on and so forth.
And so these people, they don't believe in the messengers, they don't believe in something called a new Buddha Prophethood and they don't believe in something called a ye
the revelation from Allah subhanho wa Taala.
So, the way to deal with this with with such people is by
first bringing their attention to
the concept of God, because these people, they they have a wrong concept of who the Creator is.
They have affirmed certain attributes of the Creator, while stripping a lot of other attributes.
So they have attributed to Allah, that he creates and he is a creator, he is the all powerful etc.
But they
don't affirm other attributes that are binding, logically binding for that creator.
So obviously, for such people you wouldn't say okay, here is the Quran, the Quran tells us about who Allah is, he is all powerful, he is this he is not. And he sends his what he has revelation known
for these people, you deal with them logically, until you tell them
that
in order for the Creator, to be the Creator, he must possess certain attributes of perfection.
such as
power.
He is the all powerful
and he is also the Hawaii
and he is also the All Merciful
and he is also the most
Just
once we understand and we prove to him logically, that the Creator, the Supreme Being must be attributed with these attributes, we then say that if we agreed that we were created by a creator,
who possesses these attributes, then there is no doubt that that creator must have informed us about who he is, and what he expects from us. Why? Because it's not logically acceptable, that this creator would create us, and then leave us,
leave us in this world, to wander in confusion
about
who he is,
and what he expects from us.
Why, because this would mean that he is unjust.
It would mean that he is not merciful.
It would mean that he is not the all why.
Because to do such a thing to just create us and then just leave us to wander in confusion, with no goal, no purpose in life.
This is
how foolish people do things.
Only a foolish person does something without any purpose, without any objective, just like that, by merely fooling around.
And a loss of Hannah who went out in the car and
he refuted this idea that he created the heavens and the earth.
Just foolishly.
Well, now Hakuna Matata, Hakuna senapati will Aruba, on Bina whom about Lila
we did not create the heavens and the earth
foolishly.
Just like that, without any purpose.
And so
the DS, we say to him,
we all agree that in order for God to be God, he must possess attributes or perfection,
among which is complete justice, mercy, wisdom, etc.
Once we understand this, we understand
we understand the need
for a lot to communicate with us, we understand the need for revelation,
we understand the need for Prophethood we understand the need for religion.
And so
once we understand this, we understand that Allah has indeed communicated with us, and told us about himself, and told us about what he expects from us. And so throughout history, Allah has sent prophets and messengers one after the other,
for the sole purpose of guiding human beings,
to the very purpose of why they were created, telling them who Allah is, what a lot expects from them, and what will happen to them after they die, if they obey, or if they disobey.
So, this is how we understood this is how we answered this dealt for the deist How about the Muslim
who starts doubting the need for religion.
For the Muslim, we bring their attention to the fact that there is no possible way for us
to have knowledge about certain things,
or to worship Allah in a way that he is pleased with.
Or to live our lives and function in the best way possible. None of that is possible.
Except through Allah subhanho wa Taala, revealing all of that to us,
sent sending us all of that information.
And so that would be through and ye through the revelation to a prophet
A messenger
and so yes, in terms of certain things in our lives, we human beings can independently determine
the benefits and the harm.
Yes, there are certain things where you can argue that there is no need for religion,
such as scientific and technological advancement
scientifically and technologically advancing
in ways that are of benefit to human beings
in general,
in general, we don't need religion to dictate,
to dictate that and to tell us
to tell us how to
how to live
or how to not how to live but how to benefit
from our dunya
in general,
but the specifics, this is where we need religion. This is where we need religion to tell us
the specific details of what is beneficial and what is harmful.
And so, yes,
in terms of certain things in our lives, we can
we don't need we don't need to refer to religion however,
where will we human beings or where will our human mind
determine
the details
about the attributes of Allah?
Yes, logically, we can determine certain attributes of the Creator. As we mentioned already, when dealing with a deist.
The scholars of Islam they say that when it comes to the attributes of Allah subhanahu wa taala is such that
there are certain attributes that the human mind can determine concerning Allah.
But there are other attributes that can only be determined
through a seminar through allowing the revelation
and we cannot independently with our human minds determine these attributes for Allah subhana wa Tada.
So, when dealing with the Muslim we tell him, we need religion.
We need religion to tell us about a lot the details about who Allah is,
or what exists in the world of the unseen
who will tell you that
your human mind cannot determine
what exists beyond this material world.
Nor can science tell you that because the realm of science, is this material world?
Not what is beyond this physical material world.
For that we need another source.
And that source is the ye the revelation from Allah?
Or what happens
in
the hereafter?
The details of
what exists in the afterlife?
For the Muslim who tells you we don't know we don't need religion. Tell him this.
How will you know about what happens
after we die and we become Dustin bone?
If we don't need religion, then we are becoming just like the most raccoon of Mecca who argued back and forth with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam concerning life after death
and so throughout the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala refutes them.
Whenever they would say
how can we come back to life after we have become Dustin bones?
Because for them, they think this is the end.
That's it, you live, you die, and it's over. There's no such thing as life after death. So who will tell you about life after death? If not, and
way from Allah, if not the deen from Allah subhana wa tada
or the way, which Allah subhanho wa Taala wants us to worship Him.
Your human mind cannot independently determine how to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala in the way that Allah is pleased with.
So if you say we do not need religion,
then how will you worship Allah subhanho wa Taala in the way Allah wants you to worship Him?
Perhaps he will answer he will say everyone can
worship Allah in their own way.
And this is something that
unfortunately, certain progressive Muslims are calling for today they're saying
that it doesn't matter what religion you follow, they're all paths of the same highway leading to the same destination.
And we're gonna we're going to mention this later.
And so
who will tell you how to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala in the manner that Allah wants us to worship Him.
Prior to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam coming as a prophet and messenger
there was a period of almost 500 or 600 years since the last prophet to come. And that was a Sally Sarah,
in between, from the time of very Sally Salaam to a time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
We have centuries, in which there was no prophet, there was no messenger, there was no light of guidance from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And so the people were living in days of jaha Lee
in darkness,
the religion of ERISA became corrupted.
Christianity was born,
a deviated
a deviated religion,
from the original teachings of rissalah, his Salah,
but you had a few rare individuals
who were still upon the fitrah
upon the natural
inclination, concerning their belief about Allah and concerning
the fact that we have to worship
this creator and not false gods and idols.
But these people, even them, they were confused and lost, because they didn't know how to worship that creator. They recognize the need to worship a lot. But they wish
that they had a guide to teach them
a guide from Allah to teach them how to worship.
And so this shows us the importance of religion.
We can't do without it.
Also,
who will teach you the details of right and wrong?
Yes, there are certain moral values
that are universal,
certain objective moral values that are universal,
that we don't need religion to tell us
about these moral values.
For example, justice, this is a universal moral value,
bringing justice to those who are oppressed.
And that's why before the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam became
a messenger before he started receiving revelation.
We have the example of healthful food,
the pact that he entered into
with the chiefs of Mecca, to bring justice to those who are oppressed. And later on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam after Islam
was revealed and he had the revelation. He said, if
if that pact
was available today, or if I had the opportunity to enter into that treaty, I would have done so.
Even today, even after Islam has been revealed, and he doesn't have to
Follow anything except what Allah has revealed to him, he said, I would have entered into that pact. Why? Because justice is a universal moral value.
It doesn't require religion to tell you about. Likewise, we know
that lying is
it opposes moral values.
And this is universal. You don't need religion to come and tell you that.
So that's fine.
But how about
the detailed moral values?
Who will tell you that.
And so this is where we see the need the necessity for religion,
to dictate to us what moral values we human beings need,
or laws and legislations.
And this is where
a conflict comes with these kinds of progressive Muslims who believe in secularism.
And so they say, We don't need religion, to dictate to govern laws for society.
But rather we human beings can determine laws that are good for us.
And so for these people, we say,
that, if we were to look
at the experience
of Western civilization,
and how they freed themselves from
the church,
and decided to come up with laws that will govern their society,
independent of
revelation from Allah subhanho wa Taala,
we see
that what they have been doing for the last several centuries,
are attempts upon attempts upon attempts.
Because every single time they would come up with a system,
it would fail.
And then they would have to come up with a new system.
This is not to say that,
if they had still been with the church, they would have been rightly guided No,
because they freed themselves from a corrupt religion in the first place.
It's not as if they were
upon, it's not as if they were following the ye from Allah in the first place.
They were misguided to begin with.
But the problem is today, Muslims who are calling for the same thing.
What they fail to understand is the difference between
the two religions.
That on the one hand, you have a man made religion, Christianity that they were following, that was corrupt, and was doing a lot of injustices to that society.
And so they freed themselves from that corruption.
On the other hand, you have Islam,
which is preserved from Allah subhanho wa Taala.
And does not require us to be freed from it.
But rather what is required from us is to follow it. Why? Because the laws and the legislations that Allah has given us through Islam
are in our own best interests.
The laws and legislations that Allah has sent
for us to govern society with
are the most just of laws and legislations and if we were to follow them, the way Allah wants us to follow them, not by cherry picking and selecting laws,
And leaving other laws as you find in many Muslim countries today,
but rather, taking it holistically, entirely and understanding it and applying it in the correct way.
If we did that, all of the evils in society would go away.
Why? Because Allah subhanho wa Taala being the Creator,
creating us human beings, he knows better,
what is good for us and what is not good for us. He knows best, what is suitable for us and what is not suitable for us.
And today we're seeing
we're seeing this come to light
in this current
coronavirus pandemic,
and the way that the world has been going about handling it.
If we were to learn what Islam teaches us,
we would find that Firstly,
such diseases would never have appeared in the first place. And secondly, after they do appear,
we see in Islam how to deal with them such that
it wouldn't have spread the way it has spread.
And so if we were to look at the legislations of Islam concerning cleanliness, concerning personal hygiene,
concerning how to deal with animals, which animals are we allowed to eat, which ones are we not allowed to eat? Because we learned that this virus originated from animals.
And then if we were to look at how Islam deals with
epidemics, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us about quarantine, that if
a disease was to appear in a land do not go there, if you are there, don't escape
it so this is just one example
of how
the laws and legislations of Islam, Allah sent them for our own interest for our own good. And so how on earth can someone say that we don't need religion?
Finally, we say that as long as one is convinced with the evidence is that prove that Islam is the truth from Allah subhana wa Tada, then there is no escaping the reality that Allah subhanahu wa tada has addressed us in the Quran, of our need for his guidance. And so this is how you deal with the Muslim who has this doubt in his mind.
And many times they we have this doubt in our minds, that we don't need religion. Because of the day and age that we're living in. We're living in the 21st century. Look at how the world has advanced. Look at how the West has materialistically advanced
these Muslims they look at, they have this worldview.
And so they think this is why we don't need religion.
And so
we say to this Muslim that as long as you believe in Islam as being from Allah subhanahu wa Tada, then you can escape the reality
of the fact that Allah in the Quran,
talks about our need for religion, talks about our need for his wife or his revelation, talks about our need for his guidance and that we cannot do without it.
Both in this life and in the next we cannot do without the guidance from Allah and without his way.
You can't do without it, both in this life and in the next.
So Allah subhanho wa Taala says in Edina in the law Hill Islam
Indeed, the only religion The only Deen The only way of life in the sight of Allah is Islam.
Meaning that there is no other way of life that is suitable for us human beings, and that will be accepted from us in the Acura besides Islam.
No religion, no philosophy, no ideology.
Whether it be another religion, whether it be another ideology like secularism
none of that is suitable for us.
When you have a totally Islamic Deen and following your cobalamin or filling out your demeanor ha serene, and whoever desires a d e religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted from him and in the Acura, he will be among the losers.
And so, from this we see that Allah subhanahu wa tada has addressed us of
the obligation
of following Islam
and destroying this idea of uniting the religion
and destroying this idea that
there are different paths to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
Like, the different lanes have a highway leading to the same destination.
And so our law tells us here that nothing will be accepted
in the Acura
other than Islam.
In fact, our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
destroying this idea that it doesn't matter which path you take, they're all leading to the same destination, the prophet SAW Selim, he one day with his stick,
he drew a line in the sand
and then he drew lines
diverging from that, from that one path that one line diverging away.
And so, he said, this is the Straight Path of Allah, Islam
and these other paths or the deviant paths,
they are diverging off of that path
and each one has a shaitan leading it. So from this, we understand that the path is only one.
And if there are other paths, they are not leading to the same destination as they claim. So this is how we can answer the first doubt
that we don't actually need religion. The second note that we want to cover tonight
is
there is no need for the sun.
There is no need for the sun.
And so once again, this doubt it concerns the very foundation of Islam.
It concerns the very foundation of our Deen
and this is adult that comes from some progressive Muslims
who think that the Quran alone
is the revelation of Allah subhanahu wa tada while the Hadith literature that we have is not divine, the source is not
directly from Allah subhanahu wa tada
and that these are the words of men that have been passed on by other men to us.
And so these people are commonly referred to as core annual, or core analysts.
They only believe in the Quran or we can refer to them as Hadeeth rejecters
had these rejecters and this is a better term to give them because
referring to them as artists,
it gives the idea that these people follow the Quran.
But the reality is that they don't follow the crowd as we will see.
So, first of all, these people
they are very selective
in what they cite as evidence to justify their position.
And so they will quote certain kinds of AI from the Quran
to support their position.
They're selective in what they choose.
And this brings us back
back to what we discussed earlier
when we talked about how to identify the errors
in the arguments of these people,
those who
attribute false allegations against Islam, those who bring these kinds of doubts concerning Islam,
we said there are certain steps that we can use to identify the underlying errors in their arguments. And one of those points that we mentioned, is being very selective
in,
in choosing
evidence from the Quran from the sun,
so choosing
those evidences from the Quran and Sunnah that support your view,
while ignoring all of those evidences from the Quranic, from the Sunnah, that go completely contrary to your position.
Whereas no sooner well, Gemma what we do is we take all of the evidences and we reconcile between them.
We reconcile between them we find ways to
to reconcile between what seems to be contradictory.
And so for example, the quote for you, Allah subhanho wa Taala says concerning
the Quran when it's zelner, Allah Kalki tada TBN illiquidity shy
and we have revealed to you, oh, Mohammed, the book,
as an explanation of all things, meaning look for any sufficient
it has an explanation of everything, we don't need anything else, we don't need the surgeon
and others such as yet
while ignoring the many other AI at that point, to the authority of the student.
And so they choose these kinds of AI, while ignoring all of the other AI at that point to the authority of the student.
As we will see.
So the way to answer this doubt,
the way to answer this doubt, is twofold.
Firstly, by clarifying the meaning, that the N is an explanation of all things. So first, the first thing we do is we explain these kinds of
where Allah subhanho wa Taala refers to the Quran as being sufficient for us,
or the Quran as being
an explanation of everything.
What does that actually mean? Does it mean that
the Quran is sufficient? Therefore, we don't need the Sunnah.
No, it doesn't mean that.
But rather, we say, yes, there's no doubt that the Quran is an explanation of absolutely everything.
There's no doubt about that. But what that means is that certain things have been explained by a loss of Hannah who attacked it in the Quran directly.
And that's it.
We don't need any other explanation for it. Allah has explained it clearly
in the Quran.
But for other things, we see for other things, Allah subhana wa tada has referred us elsewhere.
Allah subhana wa tada has referred us elsewhere.
And we have many examples of this. And so in the Quran sometimes, Allah subhanho wa Taala refers the believers to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
As we will see,
other times a loss of Hannah who were to add refers us to the people of knowledge
fest Aloo Ella decree in quantum let alone
ask the people have knowledge if you do not know.
So here Allah has referred us to to others, besides our loss of Hannah Houma tada
Meaning besides the actual Quran
also, Allah subhanho wa Taala elsewhere, he refers us
to the people of authority over us.
Only Emory
the people of authority and they are
the rulers, the just Muslim rulers and the scholars.
And other times Allah subhanho wa Taala refers us to the body of the Muslims that we shouldn't we should isolate ourselves from
the agenda of the Muslims and so Allah subhanahu wa tada mentioned those who do that who isolate themselves from the gem of the believers well yet tabea ally euro Serbian, we need
one Li meta Well, one mostly Johanna
that
such people we will throw them into the hellfire.
And from this ayah the scholars they use this as evidence for the concept of an edge.
This scholarly consensus
that after the Quran and the Sunnah, the third source for for
extracting common rulings is the age Matt,
the consensus of the scholars of Islam
because whoever does not
whoever does not accept what everyone has accepted of the scholars of Islam, then he has isolated himself from the body of the believers.
So the point here is
that when Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us that we should stick to the Quran, the Quran is sufficient or that the Quran has explained everything. What this means is that Allah has explained certain things directly in the Quran. For example, what are clean masala zakka he has commanded us to establish a saw to give zeca he has commanded us to fast quotevalet como cm, and so many other things a lot has made clear and there's no dispute
he has explained it clearly.
But then, other times in the Quran itself, Allah
refers us to other sometimes to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam other times to the people of knowledge other times to the people of authority over us and other times to the body of the believers. Secondly,
secondly, we show them the evidence is from the Quran itself
that this person who says I'm only going to follow the Quran I'm not going to follow the Sunnah.
We show him evidence from the court and we say okay, you believe in the court and only
Okay, bring the camera
and show him
the many, many areas in the Quran
that proves the authority of the Sunnah. And that prove
that we must follow
what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
has legislated which is found where in Hadith literature
and so for example, Allah subhanahu wa tada says one takumar rasuluh for Hulu,
whatever the messenger gives you, take it, accept it, follow it, obey it.
Well, nine and a half woman who fenter who and whatever he has forbidding you from, leave it, abandon it,
do not do what he has forbidding you from
clear cut.
Elsewhere Allah says and there are many acts in Surah Nisa,
one after the other. So for example, loss of Hannah Hua Tata says inshallah Teresa may use Rasulullah sacado Otto Allah, whoever obeys the messenger. He has Obaidullah
woman tala from Ursula gallium ha Viva and whoever turns away then we have not sent you as a guardian over them.
These are Hadeeth rejecters
who turn
away from the Hadeeth from the sun and say I'm not gonna follow it I'm only gonna follow the Quran.
Allah says we have not sent you Oh Mohammed as a guardian over them, leave them.
Elsewhere Allah Subhana who Allah says, again in Surah Nisa, yeah you're Latina Amman or to your law, what are your Rasulullah? What will remain calm? All you who believe addressing the believers, obey Allah obey the messenger and obey those in authority over you the internet czar shaping photo do who era law he was truly in contempt of the law he will do me a favor. And if you dispute over anything, then refer it to Allah and His messenger. If you indeed believe in a lot in the last day to hear a lot is referring us to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
Where will we find his statements in the student?
elsewhere in sort of Tunis, Allah subhanho wa Taala says fella water beaker. You mean, had you had chemo kaffee Mashallah, by you
know,
by your Lord, they will never be true believers, until they accept you, as a judge in their disputes. tamala G doofy and fusi him hirogen min kabita where you sell lemo Tesla, and then they will find once they have made you they're judging their disputes, they find no resistance within themselves against your decision and submit wholeheartedly.
And so the one who rejects Hades
and he claims that he will only follow the Quran.
Where are you from this area from this verse?
That if you dispute over anything,
then refer to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Where are you from this area where Allah says
then, once they have accepted you, oh Mohammed, they find no resistance in their hearts against the decision that you have made.
Where do we find the decisions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
We find it in his son.
And so all of these verses clearly show us that the sooner is an integral part of this Deen and one cannot suffice with Dr. Ahn
while rejecting the Sunnah.
And what further proves that the sooner
is not merely the words of another human being.
But rather that it is a revelation from Allah subhanho wa Taala. What further proves this?
Is that Allah says in Surah two najem
one Yambuku ideal, however,
in who in what you have,
and he does not speak from his own whims. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, whatever he says concerning this Deen concerning Allah, he does not see it from his own desire is from his own Hauer
in who you knew her rather, it is only a ye a revelation that has been set down meaning that the Quran and the Sunnah
is revelation from Allah Subhana. Who what
and as such
the two go hand in hand
and we cannot do with one without the other.
But here we should point out
the difference between the two
and so once we have affirmed that the sooner is an integral part of this Deen meaning the Hadith literature.
Once we've understood this, we have to understand that
although they are both revelation from Allah subhanho wa Taala
there's no doubt that the Quran is
more superior in certain ways.
And so firstly,
we say that the Quran is from Allah subhanho wa Taala and then the Hadith literature and the sooner
comes to explain the Quran.
So it says if you have a book and you have its commentary
the commentary of the Quran is nothing other than the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam who better
to explain the words of Allah than the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
even Abdel burn,
the famous Maliki scholar.
He says
the commentary of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on the Quran is of two kinds.
The first is explanation of things that are mentioned in general terms in the Koran, such as the five daily Salawat their timings, a sujood, or Roku, and all the other African all the other rulings.
The second,
new rulings new cam that add to the rulings that come that are mentioned in the Quran,
such as
the prohibition
of being married to a woman and her and
at the same time.
So in the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala forbade us from marrying certain women,
that they are, we are measured on for those women. They are held on for us to marry our mothers, our daughters, our sisters,
and so on and so forth. And then we're not allowed to, to be married to
two women at the same time like two sisters, what antigen Albanian, tiny, Elana self, that you cannot be married to two sisters at the same time.
And then we have the issue of being married to a woman and her at Allah has not mentioned this anywhere in the Quran. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did mention it in an authentic hadith.
So even Abdel burn,
he says here that these are two kinds of ways how the sooner explains the correct one is a commentary about what has been mentioned in the Quran in general terms, what are clean masala pray,
but what has not told us how to pray.
But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us how to pray.
And the second are new things that Prophet also mentioned that are not mentioned in the Quran.
Secondly,
the Quran
is the word of Allah subhana wa tada which was revealed verbatim to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it was revealed word for word, letter for for letter. Whereas the Sunnah may not be the words of Allah,
verbatim.
Rather, it is only the revelation of Allah. So it doesn't necessarily have to come to us word for word letter for letter, but the meaning of it has come to us.
And so, the point of the sooner
the point of the sooner was
to reveal
the outcome from Allah subhanahu wa tada
and to complete this theme
and a lot did it and it was, it has been transmitted to us,
but the actual words are,
have not been transmitted to us. So this is how the two are different. The Quran is the word of Allah.
Word for word,
letter for letter,
whereas the Sunnah is not, these are the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explaining what Allah has taught him.
Thirdly,
while the Quran has been preserved in both word and meaning,
as Allah has promised to preserve it,
and so Allah subhanho wa Taala said in national dicot what in Allah who will have the rune we are the ones who set the decode of the Quran and we are the ones who are going to preserve it, protect it, and a lot has done the 1400 years later. We have the Quran preserved
As it was revealed
so while the Quran Allah has promised to preserve it and it hasn't been preserved, the sooner has been transmitted to us
by meaning and not necessarily by letter.
So Allah has preserved the Quran
not only its meaning, but also its words, whereas the sooner
it has not been transmitted to us in that way. Because the point of transmitting the Sunnah is not that we worship a lot through these words,
like we do with the hora.
And so the Quran, Allah sent the Quran to us as a guide, meaning the words are to guide us.
But also, the words are used as an act of very bad.
And so we recite the
act of a bad
we worship a lot through these words, because they are sacred. They are the actual words of Allah. And they are meant as a guide, yes, but also as a form of the bat.
That's why we recite it the way we do. We recite it with
eight melodies tone, a beautiful voice,
we make sure that we recite it with the camp of Tajweed.
And we recite it in our salon.
Because
the words are intended,
as well as the meanings, whereas the student knows that's not the case. That Heidi's that we have
we don't use the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to worship a lot through these words, but rather, the point of transmitting the Sunnah to us was to convey the meanings.
And so that's why
it wasn't as important to preserve the actual words, word for word letter for letter. But even then, even then, the scholars of Assam from the early generations strove hard to convey whatever they heard from
Rasulo, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam word for word.
And so, the scholars of Hadees
and the father of heddy.
From the early generations to the later generations,
they strove hard
to make sure that they would
transmit
and conveyed the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and his actions as described by the companions
accurately as they heard them, which is why you won't find
any system of transmission of reports, transmission of literature, in human history, more stringent, more rigorous, in verifying its authenticity, then the science of Howdy.
The methodology
of the scholars of Hades
and what our scholars from the early scholars to the later ones, what they did, to preserve the Sunnah,
and Hadith literature, sifting out
what
can be authentically attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam versus
what cannot be authentically attributed to him, or even those things that
are doubtful.
Even those ahaadeeth that they doubted, and it was just a small don't
concerning the authenticity of this Hadith, they will declare it weak.
They were declared weak.
Even if
it looks like it's an authentic hadith, but they're doubtful concerning the transmission.
Somebody in this chain? Yes, he may be authentic. But he has an issue.
He lost his memory at the end of his life,
for example.
And so the point here is that
This science of Hadith that we have
is something that no human civilization has, has produced anything similar to it.
Proving that
Allah subhanahu wa tada has preserved the pseudonym for us
showing us the importance of as soon as the second source of Islam after the Quran
and so in this way we can answer this doubt that we are not in need of the sooner
we ask Allah subhanahu wa tada
to grant us all beneficial knowledge we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala.
To
grant is all y'all clean in our hearts concerning Islam concerning the sources of Islam, also Lola who was Salam ala nabina Muhammad. While early he was happy he was seldom at the Sleeman kathira
