Quran, Hadith, and Islam
By Dr. Rashad Khalifa
All religious practices of Islam, namely Salat, Zakat, fasting, and Hajj, came from Abraham generation after generation, while Muhammad contributed the Quran.“The Quran teaches that ALL RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN ISLAM (Salat, Zakat, Fasting & Hajj) CAME TO US FROM ABRAHAM, GENERATION AFTER GENERATION.”“Thus, Islam in its final form, as is practiced today, is based on two things: (1) QURAN: contributed through Muhammad, and (2) RELIGIOUS PRACTICES: through Abraham.”“Quran teaches that God taught Abraham how to do Salat, Zakat, Fasting, & Hajj, then Abraham taught these practices to his children, and so on generation after generation.”

God is the teacher and explainer of the Quran and puts it into believers' hearts regardless of their mother tongue; Muhammad did not explain the Quran.“The sole function of the prophet was to deliver Quran without any alteration, addition, reduction, or explanation.”“However, Quran teaches that God is the teacher of Quran; that God will put Quran into the hearts of believers regardless of their mother tongue; and that Muhammad will not explain Quran.”“Then, it is we who explain it.”

Hadith and Sunna have nothing to do with the prophet Muhammad, and following them is flagrant disobedience of God and His final prophet.“the extremely popular "Hadith & Sunna" have nothing to do with the prophet Muhammad, and that adherence thereto represents flagrant disobedience of God and His final prophet (Quran 6:112 & 25:31).”“The knowledgeable and fortunate believers, therefore, realize that Hadith & Sunna are Satanic fabrications aimed at diverting people from the path of God.”

Muhammad did not know the future, so the many Hadiths narrating future events are personal predictions unrelated to the Quran.“Yet, hundreds of "Hadiths" narrate future events that have nothing to do with Quran, and represent personal predictions.”“It should be noted that the expression "AlKhulafaa' AlRashideen" did not appear in Arabic literature until 200 years after the prophet; it is a modern expression.”

Muhammad is our best example, and his example is set by upholding the Quran alone; the Quran describes Abraham as a good example in the same words.“Obviously, those who fell in Satan's trap are ignorant of the fact that ABRAHAM IS DESCRIBED IN QURAN IN THE SAME WORDS; word for word.”“There is no doubt that the prophet Muhammad is our best example. And his example is set by upholding Quran, and nothing but Quran.”

Muhammad was a follower of Abraham, so we, as followers of Muhammad, are followers of Abraham.“Logically, if Muhammad was a follower of Abraham, and we are followers of Muhammad, then we are followers of Abraham.”"Then we inspired you (O Muhammad) to follow the religion of Abraham, monotheism; never was he an idolworshiper." (16:123)

Muhammad was forbidden from uttering any religious teachings besides the Quran, and his sole function was to deliver the whole Quran and nothing but the Quran.“These very clear verses teach us that Muhammad was forbidden from uttering any religious teachings beside Quran.”“the Prophet's sole function was to "DELIVER" Quran, the whole Quran, and NOTHING but Quran.”“HAD HE EVER UTTERED ANY OTHER RELIGIOUS UTTERANCES (attributed to us), we would have punished him severely, then we would have stopped the revelation to him (fired him).”"Your ONLY duty is delivering (Quran), while we will call them to account." (13:40)

Obeying the messenger is absolute only in the Quranic revelations, while Muhammad the man is to be obeyed only when he is right.“Obeying the messenger is absolute only as far as the Quranic revelations are concerned. Obeying the messenger is in upholding Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran.”“Thus, the condition is evident that Muhammad the man, unlike Muhammad the messenger, shall be obeyed ONLY IF HE IS RIGHT.”“nor disobey you WHEN YOU ARE RIGHT, you shall accept their pledge,”

The most authoritative Hadith books report that the Prophet forbade writing anything from him except the Quran, so Hadith followers disobey their own teachings.“The most authoritative books of Hadith, namely, Muslim & Ibn Hanbal, report that the Prophet ordered that no one shall take anything from him EXCEPT QURAN.”“Do not write anything from me EXCEPT QURAN. Anyone who wrote anything other than Quran shall erase it.”"The messenger of God ordered us never to write anything of his Hadith."

The Prophet cannot put anyone in Paradise, take anyone out of hell, call anyone to account, or benefit or harm anyone; his sole mission was delivering the Quran.“Thus, the prophet will not put you in Paradise, nor can he take you out of hell, nor will he call you to account before him, nor can he benefit you, nor can he harm you; HIS SOLE MISSION WAS DELIVERING QURAN, & NOTHING BUT QURAN.”"Say (O Muhammad), 'I possess no power to harm you, or benefit you through guiding you.'" (72:21)

The Prophet was ordered to adhere strictly to the Quran, and even the slightest deviation from it incurs severe retribution.“In setting the example for us, the Prophet was ordered to adhere strictly to God's revelations to him, specifically identified in 5:48-50 (Page 3) as Quran.”“The slightest deviation from Quran (see verse 74 above) incurs severe retribution.”

The Quran teaches that Muhammad the man committed serious errors, such as fearing people over God in the matter of Zeid's wife and frowning at the blind man.“Furthermore, the Quran teaches that Muhammad the man actually committed serious errors.”“One compete Sura illustrates the fact that we are to obey Muhammad ONLY in his Quranic utterances, and NOT in his personal utterances or personal behavior.”“Thus, you hid in yourself what God wanted to declare, and you feared the people when God is the one you should fear.”

The true love of Muhammad is to recognize him as a human and uphold the Quran alone, and he disowns Hadith followers on the Day of Judgment.“The true love of Muhammad is to recognize him as a human and to follow his teachings, i.e., UPHOLD QURAN AND NOTHING BUT QURAN.”“Those who follow "Hadith & Sunna" are named as Muhammad's enemies, and Muhammad disowns them on the Day of Judgment as we see below:”“On the day of judgment, Muhammad will be the first to complain that his followers had abandoned Quran, in favor of the fabrications by his enemies (Hadith & Sunna):”
