Ninerays said:Qu'ran Alone sounds like a "back to the basics"movement, but how can you conform to the Qu'ran without observing some of the traditions around it?Wasn't wudu, for example, described in a Hadith and the Qu'ran does say that ablutions before salaat is necessary...
EiNsTeiN said:I don't believe they are really a sect, they didnt add to religion or changed it, yet they deleted stuff!
beckysoup61 said:I believe they are a sect, because they still believe in some tenets of Islam
maro said:unlike christianity, you can't be a muslim by believing in some tenets of the religion , and leaving another
in islam , you either take it , or leave it
there might be a christian who doesn't believe in the judgment day ,unlike the main stream of christians..
but in islam denying ,the judgment day is kuffr (disbelief )
we can excuse people ,of course , because of their ignorance
but if they insist to deny any of the tenets of islam , after clarifying things to them ,
all the scholars said that they are not muslims any more
Choosing this way of life is without a doubt, their choice. But like Maro said, in Islam, you can't believe in some parts, and leave the rest. This is very clear in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. And choosing the Qur'an alone very much deletes vital parts of Islam, which can only be found in the Prophet(SAWS)'s sunnah, his example. Of course, like a member said before, this isn't the place for bashing this sect. But an answer from them to the question of the thread would be nice.beckysoup61 said:This isn't your choice, it's theres.
I do not believe so.MaddLlama said:Is this anything like Calvanism?
I second that too...I really would like for someone of this mindset to explain it because it is lost on me. If one intends never to follow any sunnah, how then do they compensate for the vital parts missing? Like, how to fast for example. I find that Quran is a book that explains what to do, but does not necessarily explain how it is to be done. It would really help if someone would explain it.
Like it was said before, we can't argue here so a simple explaination will do.
as an ex-Calvinist I can easily imagine keeping the Qu'ran but declining to pay attention to much of the conflicting tradition in Islam.
How does one decide what is and isn't kuffir?
Who gets to decide, and where did Muhammad (pbuh) say
so?
If there are multiple opinions on some interpretation, how is the individual believer to decide which interpretation is best?
What conflicting tradition there is only one islam and one tradition. I am not following you.Ask Jamesi for a start.
I have a question for the non-Qu'ran alone Muslims that might be relevant, though, because as an ex-Calvinist I can easily imagine keeping the Qu'ran but declining to pay attention to much of the conflicting tradition in Islam.
by the statements of Allah and His Messenger.How does one decide what is and isn't kuffir?
I already answered this and I agree with the truth post it in the islam forum.Who gets to decide, and where did Muhammad (pbuh) say
so?
[5:44] We have sent down the Torah, containing guidance and light. Ruling in accordance with it were the Jewish prophets, as well as the rabbis and the priests, as dictated to them in GOD's scripture, and as witnessed by them. Therefore, do not reverence human beings; you shall reverence Me instead. And do not trade away My revelations for a cheap price. Those who do not rule in accordance with GOD's revelations are the disbelievers.
[5:45] And we decreed for them in it that: the life for the life, the eye for the eye, the nose for the nose, the ear for the ear, the tooth for the tooth, and an equivalent injury for any injury. If one forfeits what is due to him as a charity, it will atone for his sins. Those who do not rule in accordance with GOD's revelations are the unjust.
[5:46] Subsequent to them, we sent Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the previous scripture, the Torah. We gave him the Gospel, containing guidance and light, and confirming the previous scriptures, the Torah, and augmenting its guidance and light, and to enlighten the righteous.
[5:47] The people of the Gospel shall rule in accordance with GOD's revelations therein. Those who do not rule in accordance with GOD's revelations are the wicked.
[5:48] Then we revealed to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming previous scriptures, and superseding them. You shall rule among them in accordance with GOD's revelations, and do not follow their wishes if they differ from the truth that came to you. For each of you, we have decreed laws and different rites. Had GOD willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To GOD is your final destiny - all of you - then He will inform you of everything you had disputed.
[6:112] We have permitted the enemies of every prophet - human and jinn devils - to inspire in each other fancy words, in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications.
[6:113] This is to let the minds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter listen to such fabrications, and accept them, and thus expose their real convictions.
[6:114] Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.
[6:115] The word of your Lord is complete, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
[6:116] If you obey the majority of people on earth, they will divert you from the path of GOD. They follow only conjecture; they only guess.
[6:117] Your Lord is fully aware of those who stray off His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided.
Muhammad's sole mission was to deliver the Quran
however, after his death, in order to divert people from Quran, Satan fabricated Hadith & Sunnah, rivaling God's book. Muslims, generation after generation started to follow these doctrines that has nothing to do with Muhammad.
Hadith & Sunnah books preaches the idolatry of Muhammad, his family and companions
The Truth said:When you sit for the last Rak'a, what do you excatly say about Mohammed and his family in the final Tashahud?
The Truth said:Did you meet Satan personaly and he told you that he fabrictaed it?
If you didn't, then how do you know?
*6:19 This verse proclaims the Quran as the only source of religious guidance. Those who uphold additional sources, such as Hadith & Sunna (lies attributed to the Prophet), are defined as idolaters. Rashad Khalifa
Zakaria said:I say, "Ash-hado Anna: La ilaaha illa Allaah" (I bear witness that: There is no god except God)
Zakaria said:Satan added Muhammad's name after the prophets death, to make us orbit around Muhammad instead God. Muhammad said the same Shahaada, since he uttered Quran, and there is no "...Muhammad Rasolo Allaah" to be added in the shahaada. In entire Quran, the shahaada is dedicated to God alone.
Zakaria said:Also, the places of worship (masajid, where you prostrate) belongs to God alone, so we are forbidden from calling upon any other name beside God's; in the salat, putting names on walls in the mosques etc.
