Following Hadith Besides The Quran Is Idol Worship
Quran Talk Blog · Article · September 14, 2020
The only hadith the followers of the Quran are to follow is the Quran. To follow any other hadith besides the Quran is to go against the very verses of the Quran itself. For this, God provides us an ultimatum, either we follow the Quran as our only Hadith or we follow some other sources.
45:6 These are GOD’s revelations that we recite to you truthfully. In which Hadith other than GOD and His revelations do they believe?
تِلْكَ آيَاتُ اللَّهِ نَتْلُوهَا عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَ اللَّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ يُؤْمِنُونَ
7:185 Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all the things GOD has created? Does it ever occur to them that the end of their life may be near? Which Hadith, beside this, do they believe in?
أَوَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوا فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَىٰ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ
77:50 Which Hadith, other than this, do they uphold?
فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ
God equates such people who choose to follow additional sources beyond what God instituted in the scripture as idol worshipers, because the only religious laws we are to follow are those that came from God. If someone accepts religious laws from another source besides God, then they are confirming that they have set up another god beside God.
