Combat Kit against the "Quran Only" Muslims

[Union]

Salam all . In the cyber-world the heading of this thread becomes very popular among the protesters against the Qur'an only movement . According to them the list of the questions (as lethal as combat kit) are impossible for the followers of Qur'an only to answer and hence exposing their absurdity . I like to share those questions here in the quest of discussiing them , as well as to add more questions , if somebody has in his/her mind . Anybody is welcome to participate in this thread whether Muslim or non-Muslim .Thanks .

Questions :

How do you know how to pray using the Quran alone?

How do you know how much Zakaah to pay using the Quran alone?

Hadn't the Quran been reached to us from the same sources we received our authentic hadith?

Why would Allah preserve the Quran and not preserve the meaning?

How much is the Jizyah that the People of the Book have to pay?

Does the Quran say that cross dressing is haram?

The Quran says that men could beat up their wives. But we know according to hadith that this is a spiritual beating and not a harmful physical. What is to stop a man from misinterpreting the Quran and beating the hell out of his wife?

Is it permissible for a man to look at a naked man?

Can I pray Salaah naked?

How do we know the order of the alcohol revelations? Maybe the first of the Quranic revelations said it was haram and then the later ones came saying that is was okay except during prayer times. How do you know the order of its revelations by using the Quran alone?

It says in the Quran to shorten the prayer when you travel. How long do you have to travel? How short to cut the prayer?

In Surah 66:3, the Prophet told his wives that he knew because Allah had informed him about it. Show me a Quranic verse where Allah had informed the Prophet about it. You cannot. Does this not prove that there are revelations to Prophet Muhammad besides the Quran?

Surah 2:173 shows that Allah (swt) gave an order for the Muslims to change their Qibla from (Bayt Al Maqdis in Jerusalem) to the Kabah in Mecca. However, there is no Quranic verse that shows the first order that Allah gave to make the Qibla towards Jerusalem. Does this not prove that there are revelations to Prophet Muhammad besides the Quran?

The Quran is passed on to us by Mutawattir narrations. Mutawattir narrations are narrations by so many people that it is just impossible for all of them to get together and plot and lie. However, we have so many Mutawattir hadith List of Mutawatir hadith http://hadith.al-islam.com/bayan/Index.asp?Lang=ENG&Type=3 that teach things that are not in the Quran. How can you reject their authenticity with no objective evidence?

?How do you know how to pray using the Quran alone?​

01. Name and Number of Salats :

There are three numbers of Salat mentioned by name in the Quran . These are :

(a) Salat Al-Fajr (Dawn Prayer)[24:58]
(b)Salat Al-Esha (Night Prayer)[24:58]
(c)Salat Al-Wusta (The Middle Prayer) [2:238]

02. Time of Salat :

(a) Fajr before sunrise when the white thread of light becomes distinguishable from the dark thread of night till no dark thread is visible [2:187] , which is at the first terminal of the day [11:114] .

(b) Isha prayer starts from the setting of the sun till the proper darkness of the night [17:78] which is the last terminal of the day[11:114] .

(c) Wusta prayer in the middle of the day , i.e., noon time in the day of assembly only [62.9-10]

03. Prerequisite of Salat :

(a) This first prerequisite is the conscious intention to establish contact with God Almighty [4:43]

(b) Performing ablution by washing face and hand, wiping head and feet. [5:6]

04. Direction of Prayer :

Any direction. [2:177 ]

05. Position of the Salats :

(a) Standing (Qiam) [2:238,3:39,4:102 ] => starting of Salat [4:102]
(b) Bowing (Ruku) [22:26,48:29]
(c) Prostration [22:26, 48:29] => finishing of Salat [4:102]

06. Number of Rak’ats :

The cycle of standing, bowing and prostrating while praising and glorifying God is traditionally called a Raka. According to the Quranic law, God did not specify any specific number of Raka to be observed in the Salat, thus it is left to the individual as per the situation , physical and mental capabilities . In congregation the leader must keep keen eyes on the average physical and mental strengths of the Muttadi [20:2,78]

07. Words in the Salat :

(a) All the words of the Salat should be from the Quran. Hence Quran should be recited while standing . [29:45,3:113]

(b) Glorifying GOD in bowing and in prostration .[7:206, 20:130, 32:15, 50:39,52:49] . Seeking forgiveness , seeking protection from Hell etc. duas can also be made in those positions [25:64-65] . Prefer to be cited as stated in the Quranic pages [e.g., 25:65]

All the words that to be recited in Salat should be for remembering/glorifying Allah (swt) only :

[20:14] "I am GOD; there is no other god beside Me. You shall worship Me alone, and observe the Salat to remember Me.

08. Tone of recitation of Salat :

The recitation of Salat shall not be too loud, nor shall be secretly; but should be maintained in an intermediate tone [17:110].

So many other issues related with Salat can be deduced from the Quran . The above discussion is just a demonstration of some important issues that Muslims arguing against Quran .

?How do you know how much Zakaah to pay using the Quran alone?​

​

This questioned can be answered from the
following verse :

"They ask you what to spend, say: ‘al-affwoo’.
God thus clarifies the revelations for you that
you may reflect" 2:219

The Key word in this verse is the word "al-
affwoo". To be able to determine what is
exactly meant by this word we should look at
other Quranic verses that employ the same
word. The following are some Quranic verses
that are of special significance to our inquiry:
"Additionally, they worshiped the calf, after all
the miracles they had seen. 'fa afawna aan
zalika' (We pardoned all this)" 4:153

"Who give to charity during the good times, as
well as the bad times. They are suppressors of
anger, and 'al-aafeen aan al-naas' (pardoners
of the people). God loves the charitable" 3:134

"O you who believe, do not ask about matters
which, if revealed to you prematurely, would
hurt you. If you ask about them in light of the
Quran, they will become obvious to you. God
has 'AAFA ANHA' (deliberately overlooked
them).God is Forgiver, Clement" 5:101

" ........... 'aafa Allah aamma salaf' (God has
pardoned past offenses). But if anyone returns
to such an offense, God will avenge it. God is
Almighty, Avenger" 5:95

According to the above verse, we can see that
the word "al-affwoo" (and its derivatives) has
been used to mean : that which has been
pardoned or overlooked.

If we apply this to the word "al-affwoo" which
is used in 2:219 and which is related to the
payment of money, we can see that God is
telling us that we should pay from that part of
our income which we can afford to give away
without the need to ask for it back, or in other
words what we can afford to overlook and
pardon without incurring any hardship.
It is significant that God did not define or
quantize the exact portion of our incomes
which we are able to give to charity and be
able to overlook it (not ask for it back). God
knows that this will be different for each
individual and directly dependent on each's
income and circumstances. It is also
dependent on each person's desire to do
righteousness. Consequently, God left it to
each indivisual to assess his/her own needs
and obligations, and then decide what portion
of one's excess income that can be given
away and overlooked without incurring any
hardship.

Nowehere in the Quran is there any hint of a
fixed rate of obligatory alms-giving. The 2.5%
which is followed by Muslims around the world
rate is not found in the Quran. The source of
this ritual, as many other non Quranic rituals,
can only be found in the 'hadith' collections.
We have seen that the Quran defines the this
obligatory payment from 'Al-AFW', which is
what a person is able to give away without
incurring any great hardship. Obviously this
amount will differ from person to another
depending on each's income.

As a matter of fact, in 17:26-29 we can see
concrete confirmation that God did NOT set a
fixed percentage for payment :

"You shall give the relatives, the needy and the
homeless their ‘haqahu’ (decreed right), but do
not be excessive, extravagant. The extravagant
are brethren of the devils, and the devil is
unappreciative of his Lord. Even if you have to
turn away from them, as you pursue the mercy
of your Lord, you shall treat them in the nicest
manner. You shall not keep your hand stingily
tied to your neck, nor shall you foolishly open
it up, lest you end up blamed and sorry"
17:26-29

Hence the general rule of spending money in
Qur'an , for every case including the Sadaqat :
"You shall not keep your hand stingily tied to
your neck, nor shall you foolishly open it up,
lest you end up blamed and sorry"
We must meditate on these words for a while
and then pose the following question: If God
had actually set a fixed percentage (e.g. 2.5%)
for the payment , would He command us not
to be stingy nor too extravagant? The words
do not be stingy nor too extravagant indicate
that the percentage is NOT fixed, but is flexible
and that it has been left to each individual's
means.

Can you also explain how you know what was the life of the prophet Muhammad (saw), his followers . And the understanding of some surates if you don't have the contexts which are found generally in the hadiths.

And do you believe at the hadiths about the previous prophets that the prophet Muhammad talked about, the signs of the end of the world, or when he saw himself some prophets during the Miraj.

Thank you

?Hadn't the Quran been reached to us from the same sources we received our authentic hadith?​

Hadiths were compiled and passed to us by some non-witness , third hand persons who did never see Prophet Muhammad nor listened to a single word from his mouth . Even none of the Hadith writer got those teachings from any of the companions of the Prophet . These supposed sayings and acts of Prophet were transmitted orally over 200+ years latter than the Prophet and his companions which better be defined as myths , fables and legends , according to the ‘science of history’ . Not a single companion of the Prophet among thousands left a single hadith for their next generation .

On the contrary , the Qur’an was collected , compiled and preserved from the very time of the Prophet and his direct companions who witnessed the Prophet and heard and learnt the Qur’an from his very mouth . Those copies of the Qur’an are all still existing intact all around the world . People discovering more ancient copies of Qur’an day by day whose scientific carbon-14 testing even pointing the period right to the year when Prophet was alive and his companions were alive .

Therefore it is safe to conclude that Hadith and Qur'an are not from the same source , Hadith from the community who never witnessed the Prophet and Qur'an was from his companions who directly witnessed him .

?The Quran says that men could beat up their wives. But we know according to hadith that this is a spiritual beating and not a harmful physical. What is to stop a man from misinterpreting the Quran and beating the hell out of his wife?​

The simple answer is there no 'wife-beating' in Qur'an , hence Qur'an didn't give any chance to husband to choose tooth-brush(Mishak) or baseball bat to beat his wife .

The vesrse in question is 4.34 and the key Arabic word is 'Duroob' .

[004:034] Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because God has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what God would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) idriboo them ; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For God is Most High, great (above you all).

The right meaning of 'adraboo' is leave/forsake which has a strong support from the Qur'an itself . The same chapter used the same root in verse 94 and verse 101:

4:94 ياايها الذين امنوا اذا ضربتم في سبيل الله فتبينوا ولاتقولوا لمن القى اليكم السلام لست مؤمنا تبتغون عرض الحياة الدنيا فعند الله مغانم كثيرة كذلك كنتم من قبل فمن الله عليكم فتبينوا ان الله كان بما تعملون خبيرا


[004:094] O ye who believe! When ye go abroad in the cause of God, investigate carefully, and say not to any one who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a believer!" Coveting the perishable goods of this life: with God are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were ye yourselves before, till God conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully investigate. For God is well aware of all that ye do.

4:101 واذا ضربتم في الارض فليس عليكم جناح ان تقصروا من الصلاة ان خفتم ان يفتنكم الذين كفروا ان الكافرين كانوا لكم عدوا مبينا

[004:101] And when ye go forth in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail (your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you. In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.

Here the root ض ر ب used for go forth/leave etc. Here ALLAH , the Exalted is talking about to go for / leave the home stead to the path of ALLAH . Hence , Daroboo in chapter 4 , whether in verse 34 or 94 or 101 , means really to leave/forsake/go forth/depart etc. not to beat or strike .

Again verse 19-21 of the same chapter prescribed not to be harsh/violent with the wives at all and if the husband really decided to for shake/divorce the wife , he should do it amicably . Here are those verses :

[004:019] O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good.

[004:020] But if ye decide to take one wife in place of another, even if ye had given the latter a whole treasure for dower, Take not the least bit of it back: Would ye take it by slander and manifest wrong?

[004:021] And how could ye take it when ye have gone in unto each other, and they have Taken from you a solemn covenant?

The following verse defined cruelty or harshness of a husaband ( beating wife must be one of the example of this kind) as a shortcoming and hence not a decree of GOD , whatsoever the situation it might be .

[004:128] If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such settlement is best; even though men's souls are swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practise self-restraint, God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

?Is it permissible for a man to look at a naked man?​

Almighty GOD had given us the garments for the following purposes :

[7:26]“O children of Adam! We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty and clothing that guards (against evil), that is the best. This is of the communications of Allah that they may be mindful.”

Hence being naked is against the will of ALLAH (swt) , ofcourse for show-off intention and without necessity . Hence its evil and against modesty , being it a woman or a man .

Now here is the instruction to man is to lower their gaze from unchaste things :

[024:030] Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And God is well acquainted with all that they do.

Hence , it is not permissible for a man to look at naked man . It also can tempt in gayness .

?How do we know the order of the alcohol revelations? Maybe the first of the Quranic revelations said it was haram and then the later ones came saying that is was okay except during prayer times. How do you know the order of its revelations by using the Quran alone?​

The order pertaining the alcohol are all in sequence and therefore there need no external source to comprehend them .

01st Verse about Intoxicants :

[002:219 YA] They ask thee concerning wine (Khamri) and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." They ask thee how much they are to spend; Say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth God Make clear to you His Signs: In order that ye may consider-

The very first verse of Qur’an has defined intoxicants as greater sin and all the sins are forbidden in Islam .

02nd Verse about Intoxicants :

[004:043 YA] O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body. If ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. For God doth blot out sins and forgive again and again .

This verse is in prohibition of intoxication and not in favor . The interesting note in this verse is the Arabic word used here is ‘Sukara’ not ‘Khimar’. Sukara has something to do with fruit juice of dates and grapes (ref. Q16.67) and more consumptions of these can befog some one’s mind. The root of Sukara (S K R) has a meaning of sugar/sweetness while Khimar (Kh M R) is all about intoxicants .

03rd Verse about Intoxicants :

[005:090 YA] O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.

[005:091 YA] Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?

The third verse also defined Intoxicants as the handy work of Satan and unclean . Hence there is no possibility of legalizing even in a smaller scale something which Satan supports and promotes .

?It says in the Quran to shorten the prayer when you travel. How long do you have to travel? How short to cut the prayer?​

The main issue is not the distance of the journey but the anxiety of possible attack from the enemies ..ALLAH (swt) says in this regard :

[004:101] When ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you that ye shorten your prayers, if fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies.

If there is no fear of enemies , you need not to shorten your prayer .

Whatsoever , the immediate next verse portrait the picture of 'Qasar Salah' in case of chance of attack (see in the verse , ALLAH (swt) instructed to carry the weapons all the time):

[004:102] When thou (O Apostle) art with them, and standest to lead them in prayer, Let one party of them stand up (in prayer) with thee, Taking their arms with them: When they finish their prostrations, let them Take their position in the rear. And let the other party come up which hath not yet prayed - and let them pray with thee, Taking all precaution, and bearing arms: the Unbelievers wish, if ye were negligent of your arms and your baggage, to assault you in a single rush. But there is no blame on you if ye put away your arms because of the inconvenience of rain or because ye are ill; but take (every) precaution for yourselves. For the Unbelievers God hath prepared a humiliating punishment.

Hence the method of shortening the prayer is to perform Qiam and then finish it with Sujud . That is all .

?Does the Quran say that cross dressing is haram?​

As mentioned before the main purpose of the garments , according to Qur'an , is to cover our shames and to act modest .

[7:26]“O children of Adam! We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty and clothing that guards (against evil), that is the best. This is of the communications of Allah that they may be mindful.”

Hence this prime purpose of the dressing should be mate - whether a man wears a woman's dress or vice versa .

There is no absolute definition of men dressing and women dressing in human race . Different race adopts different pattern of dressing . A saudi men dress can be used for a woman dress without violating the commandment of GOD in Qur'an .

What is a big difference between these dressing of man and woman :

Can these be also called cross-dressing ?

 

[Union]

?How much is the Jizyah that the People of the Book have to pay?​

While Qur'an is very clear and definite in portraying the Jizyah , the scholars of Hadithic Islam are uncertain about its definition and rate . Hence to ask this question to the Muslim who follows the Qur'an alone is really hilarious .

Whatsoever , Jizyah is derived from the root Jim Zay Ya , which is used in Qur'an for more than 100 times [Ref.2.85,2.191,3.87,3.136,9.82,9.95 etc.] . The root meaning of Jizyah is recompense , reward . It never meant to be tax in Qur'an .

Having said its root meaning , we can now look into the verse where this law is imposed :

[009:029] Fight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth from the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

'Jizyah' was imposed upon the people whom the Muslim nation was fighting with . If we start from the first verse of chapter 09 , we see that the Pagans were oppressing the Muslim in different ways and was engaged in war . Hence Jiziyah , which we know from the Qur'an means recompense , is the amount for making up the the losses due to the war . It could be in the form of money , property , service etc. Hence logically there shouldn't be any fix rate of Jizyah rather it should as much as to recompense the loss of the Muslim victim .

?Why would Allah preserve the Quran and not preserve the meaning?​

This is my favorite one :bounce

So does the questioner want to say when we may read in Qur'an 'And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden' [17.33] , we need to rush to Hadith scholars to ask its meaning ? Hilarious indeed .

To me it is an insult rather to the Hadith followers that how incapable their brains are !

No offense , let us deal with question professionally . ALLAH (swt) overwhelmingly stated that Qur'an is detailed , fully-explained , self-sufficient and enough for the Believers . How then it is possible to imagine that ALLAH (swt) revealed more than 6000 verses in 114 chapters and all are meaningless . Please read the following verses on sufficiency of Qur'an :

[006:114] Say: "Shall I seek for judge other than God? - when He it is Who hath sent unto you the Book, explained in detail." They know full well, to whom We have given the Book, that it hath been sent down from thy Lord in truth. Never be then of those who doubt.

[006:019] Say: "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say: "God is witness between me and you; This Quran hath been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn you and all whom it reaches. Can ye possibly bear witness that besides God there is another God?" Say: "Nay! I cannot bear witness!" Say: "But in truth He is the one God, and I truly am innocent of (your blasphemy of) joining others with Him."

[007:052] For We had certainly sent unto them a Book, based on knowledge, which We explained in detail,- a guide and a mercy to all who believe.

[017:009] Verily this Quran doth guide to that which is most right (or stable), and giveth the Glad Tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward;

[017:041] We have explained (things) in various (ways) in this Quran, in order that they may receive admonition, but it only increases their flight (from the Truth)!


[017:089] And We have explained to man, in this Quran, every kind of similitude: yet the greater part of men refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude!

[018:054] We have explained in detail in this Quran, for the benefit of mankind, every kind of similitude: but man is, in most things, contentious.

[020:113] And thus have We sent it down an Arabic Quran, and have distinctly set forth therein of threats that they may guard (against evil) or that it may produce a reminder for them.

[030:058] verily We have propounded for men, in this Quran every kind of Parable: But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say, "Ye do nothing but talk vanities."

[041:003] A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail;- a Quran in Arabic, for people who understand;-

[050:045] We know best what they say; and thou art not one to overawe them by force. So admonish with the Quran such as fear My Warning!

[075:018] Therefore, follow the recital (attentively), as We recite the Qur’an to you.

[010:037] This Quran is not such as can be produced by other than God; on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds.

In some other verses HE , the Exalted stated HE revealed this Qur'an with HIS Own Knowledge .

[040:007] Those who bear the Throne, and all who are round about it, hymn the praises of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who believe (saying): Our Lord! Thou comprehendest all things in mercy and knowledge, therefor forgive those who repent and follow Thy way. Ward off from them the punishment of hell.

[002:255] Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases, His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Great.

[006:080] And his people disputed with him. He said: Do you dispute with me respecting Allah? And He has guided me indeed; and I do not fear in any way those that you set up with Him, unless my Lord pleases; my Lord comprehends all things in His knowledge; will you not then mind?

[007:089] "We should indeed invent a lie against God, if we returned to your ways after God hath rescued us therefrom; nor could we by any manner of means return thereto unless it be as in the will and plan of God, Our Lord. Our Lord can reach out to the utmost recesses of things by His knowledge. In the God is our trust. our Lord! decide Thou between us and our people in truth, for Thou art the best to decide."

[020:098] But the god of you all is the One God: there is no god but He: all things He comprehends in His knowledge.

[006:059] With Him are the keys of the unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a record clear (to those who can read).

Therefore , ALLAH’s (SWT) knowledge is complete , perfect, self-sufficient, absolute, independent and encompasses all things . ………………………………………(1)

Now let look at the following set of verses :


[004:166] But Allah bears witness by what He has revealed to you that He has revealed it with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness (also); and Allah is sufficient as a witness.

[011:014] "If then they (your false gods) answer not your (call), know ye that this revelation is sent down (replete) with the knowledge of God, and that there is no god but He! will ye even then submit (to Islam)?"

The above verses say that the Quran was revealed with the knowledge of ALLAH (SWT) . ………………........(2)

Now if we combine (1) and (2) it becomes evident that the Qur’an is complete , perfect, detailed , self-sufficient , self-contained and includes all necessary information because Almighty GOD's knowledge is also perfect and complete . It doesn't need any external source to rely on since it was revealed with the knowledge of GOD .

Can we still insist that Qur'an is meaningless ?

Cont..

Now if we look into the Qur'an , we will find in several instances where human and jinns instantly understood the meanings of the Qur'an and submitted to GOD , the Almighty . How could that be possible if Qur'an is vague book without meanings ?


01. Jinn could comprehend the meanings of Qur'an just by listening to it :

[046:029] And when We turned towards you a party of the jinn who listened to the Quran; so when they came to it, they said: Be silent; then when it was finished, they turned back to their people warning (them).
[046:030] They said: O our people! we have listened to a Book revealed after Musa verifying that which is before it, guiding to the truth and to a right path:
[046:031] O our people! accept the Divine caller and believe in Him, He will forgive you of your faults and protect you from a painful punishment.
[046:032] And whoever does not accept the-Divine caller, he shall not escape in the earth and he shall not have guardians besides Him, these are in manifest error.

[072:001] Say: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened (to the Quran). They said, 'We have really heard a wonderful Recital!
[072:002] 'It gives guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join (in worship) any (gods) with our Lord.
[072:003] 'And Exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son.
[072:004] 'There were some foolish ones among us, who used to utter extravagant lies against God;
[072:005] 'But we do think that no man or spirit should say aught that untrue against God.

02. Believers could comprehend the meanings of Qur’an just by listening to it :

[008:002] They only are the (true) believers whose hearts feel fear when Allah is mentioned, and when His revelations are recited unto them they increase their faith, and who trust in their Lord;

[028:051] And now verily We have caused the Word to reach them, that haply they may give heed.
[028:052] Those unto whom We gave the Scripture before it, they believe in it,
[028:053] And when it is recited unto them, they say: We believe in it. Lo! it is the Truth from our Lord. Lo! even before it we were of those who surrender (unto Him).
[028:054] These will be given their reward twice over, because they are steadfast and repel evil with good, and spend of that wherewith We have provided them,
[028:055] And when they hear vanity they withdraw from it and say: Unto us our works and unto you your works. Peace be unto you! We desire not the ignorant.

03.Non-Believers could comprehend the meanings of Qur’an just by listening to it :

[005:083] When they listen to that which hath been revealed unto the messengers, thou seest their eyes overflow with tears because of their recognition of the Truth. They say: Our Lord, we believe. Inscribe us as among the witnesses.
[005:084] How should we not believe in Allah and that which hath come unto us of the Truth. And (how should we not) hope that our Lord will bring us in along with righteous folk ?
[005:085] Allah hath rewarded them for that their saying - Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the reward of the good.


[003:113] They are not all alike. Of the People of the Scripture there is a staunch community who recite the revelations of Allah in the night season, falling prostrate (before Him).
[003:114] They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency, and vie one with another in good works. These are of the righteous.

Hence Almighty GOD preserves the Qur'an and its meanings as it is bundled together and can not be departed .

Interestingly the reality is GOD didn't care to preserve the Hadith (according to the questioner hadith is the meaning of the Qur'an) and let human to create millions of fabricated hadith . ....

?Can I pray Salaah naked?​

[7.26] O children of Adam! We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty and clothing that guards (against evil), that is the best. This is of the communications of Allah that they may be mindful.

[7:31]“O children of Adam! attend to your embellishments at every place/time of sujud, and eat and drink and be not extravagant; surely He does not love the extravagant.”

As Salah is the time of Sujud , hence you have dress yourselves the best possible way . Being a naked , without any reason , especially in the Salah , is the sign of an insane mind .

?In Surah 66:3, the Prophet told his wives that he knew because Allah had informed him about it. Show me a Quranic verse where Allah had informed the Prophet about it. You cannot. Does this not prove that there are revelations to Prophet Muhammad besides the Quran?​

[66:3]
The prophet had trusted some of his wives with a certain statement, then one of them spread it, and GOD let him know about it. He then informed his wife of part of the issue, and disregarded part. She asked him, "Who informed you of this?" He said, "I was informed (Nabba-ha) by the Omniscient, Most Cognizant."

The action in question is 'nabba' which is perfect verb and in FormII , denotes causative meanings . Hence this action of informing (NABBA) could have accomplished directly or indirectly . For example , if a person informed the Prophet about the issue as per the will of GOD , still it would fit in the verb Nabba . As to strengthen this fact , verse 66.4 tells us that the angels and the believing people were the helpers of Prophet , more specifically in this issue of disclosing the facts from their wives .

So when a person overheard his wives telling things to each other, and this person told the Prophet, it was God who allowed it. So through God's leave the Prophet was informed, as God allowed the person to overhear the conversation, and it was God that made the person tell the Prophet, so it was God who informed the Prophet. As a true believer, the Prophet acknowledged God as the only source of information, although He used humans to inform him. There are more ways to inform people then through direct revelation.
