My own religion
If you wish to discuss these matters Daniel, I would suggest that you ask the question directly rather than saying "he said this".
Ill give you an example. You dont know if I am even a Muslim. You will only take my word for it. No one is authority, thus when I say something you should question it or ask why and analyse it. You normally do that. So rather than referring to others, ask the questions directly. I will explain a few things as quick as I can, if you like it or not. These are traditions, not contemporary attitudes I will show. When I say traditions, they are the oldest in existence.
There are different methods some of the so called scholars have been employing in order to present their opinion on a particular question. An opinion is a Fatawa. Generally a qualified Mufti is known to have a handed over right or status to issue a fatawa. A fatawa in the past was an opinion. Thats what it means.
The Maliki school in Islam follows the method of Sunnah. This Sunnah is their inherited traditions from Medina. Their school of thought is called the school of Medina. Their Sunnah is only supplemented or supported by ahadith, ahadith doesnt drive their tradition. Their Sunnah is inherited from person to person, teacher to student. Thats their school of thought.
The Hanafi school of thought was traditionally very stringent in their Quranic tradition. Ahadith and the contemporary analysis methods came later. Abu Hanifa was condemned by the Shafi school for their Quran centric doctrine.
Because the Shafi school were very much hadith based. So were the Hanbalis. But somehow they found themselves coexisting as one Islamic sect. Some people have this idea that they should practically worship their teachers. Thats it. Shop closed. Some people promote using of the Akal or reason, which is predominantly the Maliki and the Hanafi schools. So some people are indoctrinated not to use their Akal. That is also very modern phenomena, stemming from Ibn Taimiyyah propagated by Abdul Wahhab and that was for a political agenda. Thus, this is what you know and this is what you are hearing. The problem is that you may think this is Islam and this is their tradition.
I have seen a Muslim here who promotes all kinds of dirty violence and the typical child marrying doctrines but he doesnt even know the first few words of one single Surah or the meaning of one single Arabic word, claiming a life long Islamic background and scholarship but gets caught out so easily. Of course you would not have a problem with them and you even seem to like them for a strange reason. You have quoted this person in every single thread in this kind of topic. This is why, you should try to analyse things.
Anyway, these are nuances in theology. In Islam, according to any school of thought, the Quran is known as the Muhaymeenun, and the Furqan. Thus, there is absolutely no argument about that. Any argument that is proven through the Quran by default must take precedence over any other document or literature. This is universal Islamic theology. Banking on this, some may superimpose a 700 years later idea onto the Quran which came in the 7th century. Even Christians and atheists do this.
Contd.
Well, I notice that in your profile you have written Islam as religion.
You then go about analysis and apparently an incorrect way of doing Islam
Which methodology did I say is correct? I never spoke of some "correct methodology" in this thread prior to starting this trail of questioning.
Whats your real question. Why dont you just ask your question Mikkel? Its perfectly fine if you have a question, but ask directly.
