True Islam is derived from the Quran and not from the traditions or cultures of Muslim people. - unknown
Before you start jumping into filthy conclusions, calling me a disbeliever or a kafir or whatnot... I am just scribbling my opinion here.. So if you wanna talk, talk.. If you wanna curse me and condemn me, well talk to my foot coz my ears ain't listening..
Most of us, are influenced by our parents when it comes to our beliefs.. And our parents are influenced by their parents.. And the chain goes on and on.. It has been brought from one generation to another.. It's like a virus that flows through our vein.. It takes one person with handy ballz to wake up and question whether their belief is right or wrong.. So do you have the ballz?
But sad to say, most people, just follow the things that are fed to them with their eyes closed... paying no heed to find out the truth...
Apparently brothers and sisters, i am not one of them.. I don't like to follow what people tell me, with my eyes and mouth shut..
Like religion for instance..
Our religion.. Islam.. Allah never mentioned that they have all kinds of Islams and here we are, following the mazhabs and hadiths that vary from one region to another.. I mean, seriously? Who is the god now? Allah or these imams? Are you following Allah's religion or the imams' religion? Your belief.. Is that the true islam or just some man-made islam?
That explains why there are so many list of harams that the imams create themselves.. the ustazs and ustazahs.. And here you are, cherishing them as if they are the most righteous, goddess and etc.
And not to mention, when you ask that person "Why do you say it's haram?" and you get this answer "Coz my ustazah said so".. man, don't you feel like throwing shoes at them? Why do you care about what she says? How about what Allah says?
Of course, religion is a sensitive topic.. I know what i'm saying is suicidal..But you know, we live here as God's slaves.. Money, fun, whatnot, we all know that they have their own expiry dates.. So ask yourself again, why are we here? We were brought into this world to have fun? To drink and get drunk? Get pregnant? Be the richest person in the whole world? NOOOOO! We are Allah's slaves.. We are brought into this world to obey his rules, his laws... And you will never know what are his rules/laws if you don't find out yourself..
Back to the root.. Your beliefs.. Don't you have the feeling of curiosity burning underneath your chest? I don't want to be the fuel to Allah's hell.. I don't. And if we ever get this question someday from him, "Why do you follow the wrong people when you know that you have to follow me?" "I give you brain but why don't you use it?" " I give you Quran but why do you use other people or other scriptures to gain my knowledge?" "Why do you listen to other people's rules when you know i am your God" "Why do you choose the books that men themselves made, when you know you have my book that comes from ME, to guide you?"
I know i don't want my brain to have to inhale these questions...coz i know my tongue will be twisted, hence, leaving me speechless..
So, I am just exhaling all those inner thoughts that have been burning inside my head.
So what's your say?

where? i don't see it! haha like i said, this post is not meant for shallow minded people. so shuhhhh
and it's such a shame how people like you still exist.. ;)
hey what you said is actually true. but maybe because of the way you said it as if all usatazs and ustazahs are wrong- it;s just, make it hard for people to take you seriously ya know. or maybe it's just me. you have to make it sound more rational and less emotional maybe? :)
i won't take what i said back. it's true. people think those ustazah and ustaz are so right that they tend to forget to whom should they listen/refer to. I am not saying all ustaz and ustazah are wrong but they have their own opinions and as far as im concerned, there are possibilities that they might be wrong too.. they're just humans.. it's ok i dont expect people to take what i said seriously. i am sharing,and apparently, im not losing anything from this.. and i don't have to 'rationalize' things.. i believe everyone has a brain to ponder and reflect things... i don't have to explain everything.. i am not god.. :) thanks for responding btw.
and when i said "they have their own opinions", unfortunately, they tend to spread around their so-called opinions, making people think that whatever they said are true.. and should be followed..
i don't agree fully with your post.
but, you have the right to voice out your opinion.
ustaz and ustazah are also normal humans, making mistakes can never be avoided. we should be thankful as they were the one who were brave to rebirth Islam during old times in Malaysia.
If you've ever misunderstood their statement, go correct them. Provide some evidences (ayat Quran/ hadith).
That way would be very rational.
I hope Allah will grant you hidayah to become a better Muslimah, insyaAllah.
You know yourself better.
Assalamualaikum.
apparently, most of the ustaz and ustazah i know think that the quran is not complete. that's why some of them have the guts to add things up and reshape things. maybe i will list down the evidences on my next post, thank you. I have nothing against ustaz and ustazah but i don't know why they have to declare themselves as ustaz or ustazah. Al quran never mention anything about them lol. well, May allah guide us both. Good night.
Assalamualaikum. Hello! One thing I would like to compliment here is that I am soo proud that at least you think about Allah, I mean what's good what's not, dosa, neraka, that you wanna be in heaven as much as I do. Alhamdulillah, InsyaAllah this will be your first step towards the better.
But I think you might wanna correct the part "following mazhab" and all. Mazhab is like a guideline actually, its true, alQuran and Hadith is the true source, but what this Mazhab do is that they point out their opinion based on certain evidence they got from Quran and Hadith. I don't really know much, so I can't really tell you what the whole thing is, I'm just like you, still learning. hehe. "Following Imam's religion" errr,not really a good thing to say? Or maybe I interpreted your sentence there the wrong way. If I am, then I am truly sorry. But we followed them, I mean how they do things, because we believe they know better about Allah, about Rasulullah than us.
Nowadays, there are so many people claiming they know better about our Islam but the fact is they don't. Its a sad thing I know. But please keep praying that Allah will always guide both of us through the right path, InsyaAllah. Amin :)
Iman ni ada turun naiknya, petunjuk tu, dan semua di dunia ni Allah yang punya, bukan hak kita untuk menghakimi, untuk berkata mana betul mana salah, kerana kita manusia, sentiasa membuat kesilapan :) So I think the reason why people is taking your post here the wrong way maybe bcs you didn't explain further abt your opinion? I hope you will :)
Oh and please don't take it the wrong way, I didn't mean it in a bad way :)
"Our religion.. Islam.. Allah never mentioned that they have all kinds of Islams and here we are, following the mazhabs and hadiths that vary from one region to another.. I mean, seriously? Who is the god now? Allah or these imams? Are you following Allah's religion or the imams' religion? Your belief.. Is that the true islam or just some man-made islam?"
im interested in this part of ur post. ok. lets take it this way. lets say u're studying medicine. then, of course u need to read big bulky books. then, i wanna ask u, wud u understand all those things written in the books just by reading them by urself? i mean every single things. if u do, then u can claim urself as a doctor then. bt, of course u cant understand them all. so, here u need a lecturer/a doctor to teach u.
its the same case like what u've questioned about the imam mazhabs. they are not creating rules of their own. instead they are just interpreting the Quran n hadiths for us to understand. and ofcourse, there would be some slight differences in the interpretation, just like the different opinions the doctors gave in understanding a sentence from the medical books. but still the doctors are not making up their own version of knowledge, they are just following the books but with their own understanding. =)
oh n btw, nice to meet u. n its good to know that this kind of confussion is still happening. at least u've helped the ustazs to realise that there's still much more hardworks needs to be done..=)
i wanna share something.

watch this video until the end.
Dear faa,
no i am not gonna correct anything bcoz i am gonna stick with what i said. Guideline? No. Quran is the one and only guideline and it's clear. And there you go, you said it yourself. 'Opinion'. and there is always the wrong side of that. So why do we follow these people thinking they are so right? Why do we choose mazhabs over quran? Over our god's book?
"they know better about allah?" why so? Do you think allah pilih kasih? He doesn't. he wants everyone to know his message. same message to all. so why do we seek for this fabricated stuff when we can go directly and find out the truth from quran. the true source.
the quran is simple. god uses simple words. So why are we choosing to read other things? Please my dear sister. All i am saying is that, read the quran. Follow allah. People listening to other people, daripada listen to allah himself, in a way is like menduakan allah. You are listening to what people think allah is saying when you can actually know what allah says... opinions vary between them. explains why semua mazhab lain2. islam ada satu saja my dear.
so far, ramai dah bangkit from this and sedar from all over the world. i can give you their links if you want to and they can explain further. coz they are more into quran than i am right now. i am just pointing out these basic stuff. and they are nothing better than us okay. They are humans, like us. We are all the same.
" Nowadays, there are so many people claiming they know better about our Islam but the fact is they don't" this should be pointed at all those 'religious people' too.. what makes you think they are right and we are wrong? see, allah gives us brain to ponder his book.. so read his book and he will guide you and tell you what his words really mean. trust me on that. i know i am not religious myself but i know what i am saying..
memang takde hak untuk menghakimi sesapa, just... people should start referring back to allah instead of referring to humans... allah is there...
thank you for responding :)
dear afiq,
okay about the medicine. unlike those medicine books, law books, whatever books that we have.. they are nothing compared to al quran. al quran is the simplest book ever. it is straight forward. Allah wants us to understand the book that's why he has created a complete book that is just so easy to be interpreted. And he keep on mentioning that he will guide those believers.. and by that, why do we need others to guide us when we have allah himself to guide us ? He communicates with us but we are just too blind to reach back for him... we prefer referring to other books rather than seeking for his guidance..
he is our god for goodness sake..we don't need nobody to tell us what the quran means.. He himself will talk to us.. i am still new to all this but apparently, there are more people who have yet discovered about how magical the quran is.. i can give you their facebook account and you can communicate with them... they can explain better..
so don't compare quran to other books.. it is a disgrace. that is god's book we are talking about. I will find the verses which he mentioned, that said something about him, will make you understand the quran himself if you really want to learn.. if you are clear from bad intentions that is..
and about the mazhabs. they are the reason why islam have so many branches.. all i am saying is that, why must we follow these people when we already have the book in our hands.. why do we have to listen to other people when we have allah to guide us? And who gave them the rights to spread their understanding and make people follow their understanding? They have all the rights to voice out their opinion but the ones that are following them are the stupid ones.. instead of finding out and read the quran themselves, they just follow what other people think its right blindly... where's their brain at?
the bottom line is, read the quran instead of reading all other scriptures.. it is clear that the quran is complete.. so if you are doubting, you are a disbeliever.. and god said nothing about these imams. if he wants us to follow these imams, he would have said it in the quran.. god knows what's gonna happen right? he would have said their names like how he mentioned our prophets' names...
and last but not least, 'help the ustazs to realise that there's still much more hardworks needs to be done" lol at you.. i don't need any ustaz to tell me i am wrong.. if i am wrong, thousands more are wrong.. some people are gettng into their senses bcoz of this and i think you should be the one pondering...
peace afiq :)
hahaha. no. of course im not comparing Quran with other books. im just stating that as an example or an analogy of why we need those imams. unfortunately, it seems that i still cant agree with u about understanding Quran. okay. first of all, the Quran itself is written in Arabic. n im pretty sure, you must have actually read tafseer of the Quran if are not a native arabic speaker. now, tell me, if u are really sure that we dont need nobody to tell us what the Quran really means, then why do u still referring to the tafseer? why dont u just go and read the mushaf Quran direcly? arent u now, actually depends on others to tell u whats the Quran are saying? =)
n ofcourse, if u really understands Arab language, there is much more things that u've realised. its not just about literal meaning. if English have all those idioms, and if bahasa melayu can have all those peribahasa, pepatah n so on, dont u think, its the same with arabic language? =)
la kalau dah 10 people translating the same thing then nak doubt apa lagi? -_________- allah protects the book. see, you never read the translations i think? that's why you nak argue.. you prefer listening to those imams than your own god.. so i guess it's your loss. not mine.
all i am asking is for you to refer to the al quran. and here you are giving me reasons to not refer to the quran? -____- ok so dont read the quran. listen to the mazhabs imams and whatnot. i ammmmmmmmmmmmmm doneee hereeeeeeee..........
sara, im 98% agree with u. 2% lagi bukan disagree, but u need an explanation. keep searching for salaf. or maybe we can hang out with my friends and talk about this. bincang2,tak rugi apa2 pun kan?
- @irphn
aaaaaaaaaaahhhh nanti ill explain.....yes, i prefer discussing than arguing. afshusjadasdsaksda

assalamualaikum semoga sihat dan sentiasa berada dalam redhaNya
sangat tertarik dengan post ni tetapi agak tidak setuju dengan apa yang awak luahkan ini
1st things memang hanya ada dua sahaja sumber hukum dan pedoman hidup kita iaitu alquran dan al-hadis tetapi jika timbul sesuatu permasalahan dalam kehidupan kita yang tidak dijelaskan dalam alquran o al-hadis maka ada jalan lain untuk kita menyelesaikannya iaitu melalui ijma' ulama dan qias
nak bergelar ulama ni bukannya senang,kenalah arif dan banyak ilmunya dalam bidang tafsir quran,hadis,nahu(tatabahasa dalam quran dan hadis) dan banyak lagi.
ulama zaman dahulu seperti ulama 4 mazhab ni bukan sebarangan nak keluarkan hukum@fatwa.
mereka ni sejak dari kecil dah hafal quran,tambahan mereka memang berbangsa arab maka senanglah untuk mereka memahami alquran berbanding kita ni yang bukannya arab sukar nak memahami quran..
(kita kena ingat setiap yang di dalam alquran kita tidak boleh mentafsir hanya dengan membaca sahaja terjemahannya,ada kaedah di dalam mentafsir quran yang ulama telah gariskan dan disepakati bersama,bukan hanya seorang sahaja yang menggariskan panduan tetapi ramai dan agak kurang kemungkinan timbul pembohongan di situ)
seterusnya ingin hendak saya nyatakan imam 4 mazhab ni sanggup mengembara jauh demi menuntut ilmu agama dan berguru dengan berpuluh2 orang guru serta mempelajari ilmu agama ni sehingga berpuluh tahun lamanya
selepas itu barulah mereka berani mengeluarkan hukum@fatwa
bagi kita insan yang lemah ini tidak mempunyai banyak pengetahuan dalam ilmu agama agak mustahil untuk kita mentafsir dan mengeluarkan sendiri hukum berdasarkan alquran
adanya imam2 ini adalah sebagai penjelasan yang lebih terperinci lagi untuk wahyu alquran itu kepada manusia...dengan mereka ini kita boleh senang melaksanakan hukum Allah
kalau anda nak mentafsir sendiri alquran dan hadis pastikan anda mempunyai ilmu yang cukup bahkan ilmu yang banyak seperti imam2 dan para ulama
tidak salah manusia biasa mengeluarkan hukum sendiri asalkan ilmu mereka cukup mantap
fikir la balik apa yang saudari telah luahkan ini jangan sampai ianya menjadi mudarat kepada anda
sesungguhnya tidak mempercayai ulama itu boleh tergolong dalam dosa yang besar
mengeluarkan hujah atau pandangan hendaklah ianya berdasarkan ilmu dan janganlah mengikut kehendak hati sahaja kerana kalau berdasarkan hati semata2 kebiasaanya datangnya dari syaitan
semoga Allah memberi kesenangan buat kamu
hahaha. not im not arguing. and im not obsessing about the imams all that nor that im not asking u to not to refer to the Quran. what im saying here is that u dont actually refer to the Quran. no u dont. u just read some other's guy translation of the Quran.
Ouh. Are u sure there's no difference at all? Have u try comparing english translation with bahasa melayu translation and bahasa indonesia translation? Im pretty sure there's a lot of difference. But, if u are really sure about the "10 org translate benda yg sama" thing, its ok then(well, its ok, if u had really really read ten translations). At least i've proven to u that u cant solely understand the Quran by ur ownself. Because u've already admitted that u didnt actually read the Quran, but u've only read the translation of the Quran. if u still needs others to JUST TRANSLATE the Quran for u, how on earth can u claim that u dont need others to understand the QURAN? the QURAN not the translation. See the difference there? And thats just the translation. Not yet the tafseer. Im not sure if u know the difference between those two. Well, u need to find them if u really wants to know. Ok. I think me too already done here. Cuz i can see u dont really want to "discuss" with me anymore.. Hehe.
may Allah forgive our sins.
maaf, saya hanya believe in al quran dan allah dan juga para nabi/rasul. Allah takde cakap dalam al quran suruh denga cakap para imam. takde. tak sebut pon bukhari ke apa.
saya hanya membaca al quran dan itu sahaja. i dont believe in other bullshits made my men.. saya ikut perintah hanya yang satu. itu up to you nak follow sapa2. i am done debating
and afiq,
i am not saying u have to believe everything the translation said. but thing is, when you really want to learn allah is there. And i do read the quran. You have no rights to say i don't coz i do. so u prefer to just blindly follow what other people say.... ur not gonna read the quran at all? that's what you're saying right coz you think these translators are creating craps... lol
lol lol lol dah la ish bye
Assalamualaikum w.b.t
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..
1)setuju dengan anda,Islam yg sebenar datang dr quran,tetapi saudari kurang satu..apa dye? sunnah dr Rasulullah,
Quran dan Sunnah yg menjadi asas dalam Islam,
Quran sgt2 lengkap,tiada yg mampu tandingi nyer,anda tentu bersetuju dgn saya?
Tetapi Sunnah Rasulullah hadir utk memberikan tafsiran lengkap kpd Al quran utk di jelaskan kepada secara terperinci apa yang Allah ingin sampaikan kepada manusia sebenarnya,
Sebagai contoh utk lebih jelas,dalam ayat quran,Allah ade berfirman "Dirikanlah Solat dan Tunaikanlah zakat",okeh,kat sini ade satu soalan,macam mane kite nak laksanakan solat dan macam mane zakat tu nak di laksanakan??haa disini maka Rasulullah menunjukkan cara utk solat yg sebenar dan cara menunaikan zakat yg betul seperti yg Allah inginkan,
Baik,dalam masalah mazhab,
1)mazhab hadir dari ijtihad para ulama',ulama' mengeluarkan mazhab berdasarkan Al quran dan Assunnah,
2)Mana mana mazhab yg kite lihat,sume berdasarkan Al quran dan assunnah,
3)Perbezaan pendapat dalam mazhab terjadi kerana faktor periwayatan hadith,ade hadith shahih,ade hadith hasan,hadith maudhu' dan sbgnya
4)Walaupn mempunyai perbezaan dalam mazhab,tetapi perkara pokok dalam islam iaitu aqidah,tiada percanggahan langsung antara ulama'
5)Perbezaan dalam mazhab hanya berlaku pd masalah cabang cabang dalam islam,sebagai contoh,cara nabi solat,itu pn kerana faktor hadith,sbbnyer terdapat hadith yg lebih kuat dr sudut riwayatnya yg bersmbung dgn Rasulullah
tambahan,mungkin persoalan yg menjadi kekeliruan anda pd ulama' ade jawapannya juga dalam Al quran,kata anda,anda suka tuk ruujuk quran dan sunnah sahaja,bagus!hehehe
1)Surah Annisa' ayat 115
2)Surah Annisa' ayat 59
Jangan lupe saudari tuk rujuk seerah Rasulullah juge,
sesuatu hikmah yg sgt besar menanti anda,
Syabas!!buat saudari,akhirnya cakna akan Al quran dan Assunnah,teruskan berubah ke arah kebaikan wahai saudari ^_^
situasi cik ni ada sedikit sebanyak persamaan dengan situasi Nabi Ibrahim masa mula2 dia 'mencari' tuhan...
hello there, your post is really refreshing and i don't have the time to read all the comments here, so I'm not sure if what I'm going to say had been mentioned or not.
Islam is sent to us from Allah as a way of life, in which, we'll have to dissect the Quran and the sayings of the prophet so we can practice Islam as our way of life thoroughly. The thing is, I don't know the language, and we all know arabic is one of the most complicated language in the world. The reason why we need the Imams and so called ustaz ustazah is because we don't have the tools, which they have - the language skills, ulum quran, ulum hadith and so on.
As a "orang awam" it's not wrong for us to just follow the ustaz/ustazah who had studied all the 4 schools of thoughts. Because there is no way, we, with our own capability could achieve the understanding of Islamic scholars who have dedicated their whole life studying hadith, arabic language and the Quran.
I watched this video on youtube by Nouman Ali Khan on how we should not give out opinions on hukum hakam simply because we heard people say so and so, because WE DONT HAVE THE TOOLS. Honestly, for me, the existence of the 4 schools of thoughts is actually a blessing, that it eases muslims all around the world. You see, the main things like akidah and tauhid does not differ in the 4 mazhabs.
the problem comes when people become too "taksub" with their ustaz and ustazah ( even the imam of the mazhabs respect the other imams - even if their opinions clashes). All we need is ustaz/ustazah who knows how to take respect differences, and stop making people so confused about Islam.
Assalamualaikum wbt.
Bismillah.
1) Dalam surah al hasyr (surah ke 59, ayat ke tujuh):
وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
Maksudnya:
dan apa jua perintah yang dibawa oleh Rasulullah (s.a.w) kepada kamu maka terimalah serta amalkan dan apa jua yang dilarangnya kamu melakukannya maka patuhilah laranganNya dan bertakwalah kamu kepada Allah; sesungguhnya Allah amatlah berat azab seksaNya. (surah al-hasyr : 7)
In english:
So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah. for Allah is strict in Punishment. (surah al-hasyr : 7)
Ayat ni menerangkan bahawa kita kena dengar apa yang Rasulullah saw perintahkan pada kita. Ini dalil/bukti bahawa hadith adalah sumber hukum yang boleh diguna pakai dan diiktiraf oleh Allah swt sendiri.
Dan Allah berfirman dalam surah al-anbiya' (surah ke 21 ayat ke 7)
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Bermaksud:
Dan Kami tidak mengutus Rasul-rasul sebelummu (wahai Muhammad) melainkan orang-orang lelaki yang Kami wahyukan kepada mereka (bukan malaikat); maka bertanyalah kamu kepada Ahluzzikri (orang yang mengetahui ilmu agama) jika kamu tidak mengetahui. (surah al-anbiya : 7)
In english: And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation, so ask the followers of the reminder if you do not (surah al-anbiya : 7)
Allah suruh kita bertanya kepada mereka yang tahu.. Siapa lagi yang tahu? ulama'
Kalau orang kata, Rasulullah juga manusia, mesti ada melakukan kesalahan?
Allah menjawab persoalan ini dalam surah an-najm (surah ke 53, ayat 1 hingga 4):
وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ
Bermaksud:
Demi bintang semasa ia menjunam,
Rakan kamu (Nabi Muhammad yang kamu tuduh dengan berbagai tuduhan itu), tidaklah dia menyeleweng (dari jalan yang benar) dan dia pula tidak sesat (dengan kepercayaan yang salah).
Dan dia tidak memperkatakan (sesuatu yang berhubung dengan agama Islam) menurut kemahuan dan pendapatnya sendiri.
Segala yang diperkatakannya itu (samada Al-Quran atau hadis) tidak lain hanyalah wahyu yang diwahyukan kepadanya. (an-najm : 1-4)
In English:
By the Star when it goes down,-
Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him. (an-najm : 1-4)
Allah menjelaskan dalam ayat2 diatas bahawa segala percakapan yang dikatakan oleh Rasulullah saw adalah wahyu dari Allah.
(nak baca lebih dari 4 ayat tu pon boleh)
Wallahu a'lam
ni untuk kamu2 yang lain di bawah..
cuba baca ayat ni semua...susah nak faham ke...?
[10:59]
Katakanlah (kepada kaum yang mengada-adakan sesuatu hukum): “Sudahkah kamu nampak baik-buruknya sesuatu yang diturunkan Allah untuk manfaat kamu itu sehingga dapat kamu jadikan sebahagian daripadanya haram, dan sebahagian lagi halal?” Katakanlah lagi (kepada mereka): “Adakah Allah izinkan bagi kamu berbuat demikian, atau kamu hanya mengada-adakan secara dusta terhadap Allah?”.
[10:37]
Dan bukanlah Al-Quran ini sesuatu yang boleh diada-adakan oleh yang lain dari Allah; tetapi Al-Quran itu diturunkan oleh Allah untuk membenarkan dan Kitab-kitab yang diturunkan SEBELUMNYA, dan sebuah PENJELASAN lengkap; tidak ada sebarang syak dan ragu-ragu pada Al-Quran itu tentang datangnya dari Allah, Tuhan yang mencipta dan mentadbirkan sekalian alam.
-Nor could this Quran have been devised by anyone other than God. It is a confirmation of what was revealed before it and detailed explanation of the Scripture- let there be no doubt about it- it is from the Lord of the Worlds.
[10:40]
Dan di antara mereka ada yang beriman kepada Al-Quran, dan ada di antaranya yang tidak beriman langsung kepadanya; dan (ingatlah), Tuhanmu lebih mengetahui akan orang-orang yang melakukan kerosakan.
kerosakan pada mesej yang dibawa...siapa yang merosakkan..? ahli hadith
[6:115]
Dan telah SEMPURNALAH Kalimah Tuhanmu dengan benar dan adil; tiada sesiapa yang dapat mengubah sesuatupun dari Kalimah-kalimahNya; dan Dia lah yang sentiasa Mendengar, lagi sentiasa Mengetahui.
[6:116]
Dan jika engkau menurut kebanyakan orang yang ada di muka bumi, nescaya mereka akan menyesatkanmu dari jalan Allah; tiadalah yang mereka turut melainkan sangkaan semata-mata, dan mereka tidak lain hanyalah berdusta.
[6:117]
Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu, Dia lah yang lebih mengetahui akan sesiapa yang sesat dari jalannya, dan Dia lah yang lebih mengetahui akan orang-orang yang mendapat petunjuk.
[10:95]
Dan jangan sekali-kali engkau menjadi dari golongan yang mendustakan ayat-ayat Allah, kerana dengan itu engkau akan menjadi dari orang-orang yang rugi
I totally agree with your post, except, i can answer almost all of your problem hehe (at least thats what i thought).
Imams are like doctors.
1. They are mere human. NO human can run from mistake. As doctors can make mistake, imams can make mistake too.
2. They know BETTER, because they study religion, as doctors know better in medicine. That is their field of study. So their chance of making mistake is LESS than us(who do not study in that field).
3. Correction: Al-Quran IS NOT as simple to understand as you think. Even Arabs, who study Arabic Language differ on the true meaning of some words in Al-Quran. Take note: Translation of Al-Quran is not 100% the exact content of Al-Quran. People translate Al-Quran based on their understanding literally. And as I said earlier, people CANNOT run from mistake.
4. As we should trust and follow what the doctor say, we should also trust and follow what imams say, cause they know better than us.
5. Last, if we think we can understand Al-Quran better. Then, there is no problem for us ourselves to decide whats right and whats wrong.
Study from translation without experting in the original language (Arabic) is so wrong!
6. Sorry for my poor English. Please! Point out if there is anything you disagree.
INHALE EXHALE. NOW READ THIS! FROM A TO Z. DONT MISS ANYTHING. THIS SHOULD ANSWER TO ALL OF YOUR DOUBTS
The quran IS self-sufficient.
And for those who think that quran is not self-sufficient.. that you have to seek for other people to help you understand.. are you saying that islam cannot be understood properly and that the quran is not accessible to the public at large? Here is a question. Was religion revealed then only for the few and not for ALL of humanity? Religion is for everyone. Did the Prophet belong to a particular sect or order ? What are the sects or orders of the four caliphs? Are there such sects as Hanafi, Shafi, Shii and wahabi in the quran? Does the quran refer to itself when it uses the expression " THE ONLY GUIDE" OR DOES IT ALSO MENTION bukhari, muslim and the twelve imams?
89 - And We have sent down to you the Book explaining all things, a guide, a mercy and glad tidings for those who submit.
16 The Honey Bees, 89
As one can clearly see from this verse, the Quran explains everything and is the only guide. If so, why refer to Bukhari or Muslim or to the books on Islamic ‘catechism’? Since we can plainly see in the Quran, why insist on appealing for the help of such sects as Hanbali, Shafi, Hanafi, Shii, Jaferi and Maliki? Considering that God styled us as ‘Muslims’ (submitters), must we use such designations as Sunni, Shii and Shafi considering that the attribute ‘Muslim’ falls short of the mark?
40 - The command is for none but God; He has commanded that you worship none but Him: that is the right religion, but most people do not know.
12 Joseph, 40
26 - …They have no guardian other than Him, nor does He share his command with anyone.
27 - Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. No one can change His words and no one will you find as a refuge than Him.
18 The Cave, 26 -27
The sharing of God’s command would be an act of heresy. Judgments based on the interpretations of sects, the consensus of the learned, and the analogies and hadiths do not come within the purview of God’s command. To equate them with religion means transferring the legislative power to persons other than God who can not share His command. Personal opinions of individuals cannot supersede religion, Sura The Cave, 27, is explicit about man’s only refuge, God. No one can change His words; and yet sects have dared to do so. God’s words, in which He has revealed His will, are in the Quran. There is no other source that can be said to belong to God. Given the fact that the command belongs only to God (Sura Joseph, 40), and the fact that He does not share His command with any person whatsoever, we have to accept the Quran as the unique source of the Islamic religion. If we espouse the view that the books that do not belong to God (like the hadiths or the books on ‘Islamic catechism’) may also be taken as a source of religion, we cannot avoid being accused of heresy. The authors of the books referred to as Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Davud or the sects like Hanafi, Shafi, Jafari should not be equated with God.
33 - Whose word is better than one who calls to God and works righteousness and says “I am one of the submitters”.
41 Elucidated, 33
115 - The Word of your Lord is complete in truth and in justice. No one can change His words. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
6 The Cattle, 115
I
slam, God’s religion, was completed during the lifetime of the Prophet. The Quran was written, learned by heart and became the source of the Islamic religion. Books that compiled the hadiths, the sayings of Muhammad, began to appear one or two hundred years after his death. While it was made explicit in the Quran that God’s Words could not be changed by anyone, for some reason or other, the carriers found the Quran not sufficient enough and began looking for new sources. According to this mentality, the ijtihads (canonical jurisprudence) of Imam Shafi, the fatwas of the Twelve Imams and the clarifications of the Hanafi Imams have completed the revelation. According to these personages, religion was not complete before their contributions. Moreover, the advocates of traditionalism not being content with this, dared to repeal the commentaries of the Quran, superseding them with hadiths and their own interpretations (see Chapters 25, 26) and violated the statement of the verse that said: “No one can change His Words.”
THE QURAN CONTAINS ALL DETAILS
114 - Say: “Shall I seek for judge other than God? When He it is Who sent unto you the Book, explained in detail.”
6 The Cattle, 114
It explicitly says that it has spoken in detail. Under the circumstances, if we cannot find in the Quran a particular prohibition, a detail or a prayer, it should follow that the alleged prohibition, the act or the prayer in question simply does not exist.
101 - O you who believe, ask not about things which if made known to you would give you trouble; and if you ask about them when the Quran is being revealed, they will be made known to you. God has overlooked them and God is Forgiving, Forbearing.
5 The Feast, 101
To spare trouble for His creatures, God makes no mention of a great many things. Had He done so, the responsibilities on the shoulders of men would have increased. God repeatedly states that religious practices are easy to perform and that His intention is not to create difficulties for men. However, the inventors of the hadiths and the sectarians make every effort to create difficulties in the name of religion by their commentaries, as if God had forgotten to explain the points which they tackle. Whatever religion prohibits is evil, but religion does not have to state every act which should preferably be avoided. Responsibilities that religion commands must be performed. Thus, points left out from the text of the Quran must be interpreted as acts depending on our free discretion. All additions to it must immediately be eliminated.
GOD NEVER FORGETS
64 - And your Lord never forgets.
19 Mary, 64
God, our Lord, is omniscient; it follows that He knows what we need to know about religion. Points left to our discretion are meant to be a man’s elbowroom. Are those people who deem it necessary to supplement the Book, with the intention of interpolating new details in the text, consider themselves wiser than God, and believe to accomplish what God has, according to them, left incomplete?
51 - It is not sufficient for them that We have revealed the Book to you which is read out to them.
29 The Spider, 51
Alas, the Quran seems to be not good enough for the traditionalists. The Word of the Quran does not satisfy those who dare rewrite the Quranic text by interpolating thousands of hadiths and viewpoints of the sectarian chiefs in the practice of religion. They are not satisfied, because the Quran does not veil the woman as the traditionalists seem to imagine, because it does not prohibit arts and sculpture and does not decree uniforms with turbans, robes with full sleeves and long skirts nor recommend men to grow a beard, thus promoting the customs of the Arabs. This is why many people prefer to become members of the Hanafi, Shafi, and Shii sects rather than being the Muslim as put forth in the Quran. For these prohibitions, which do not exist in the Quran, are incorporated in the creeds of these sects. Instead of learning what the Quran says, these people prefer to figure out a religion in their minds and look for it in the Quran, and when they fail to find it in it, they say the items are missing. Eventually, the Quran proves not to be sufficient for certain miscreants and religionists.
NOTHING HAS BEEN OMITTED FROM THE BOOK
38 - Nothing have We omitted from the Book.
6 The Cattle, 38
Considering that God states that nothing has been omitted from the Book, those who make use of the Book as a prayer recited for the souls of the departed and who are enchanted by its music are ignorant of its meaning. They try to supersede the Quran with books on ‘Islamic catechism,’ to replace the meaning of it by incantations, to substitute the dead for the living and to favor the Islam of the sectarians in total disregard of the Quran. They seem to be doomed to remain in the dark unless they begin to pay due attention to the meaning inherent in it and be more concerned with the living than the dead.
154 - What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
155 - Why do you not take heed?
156 – Do you have solid proof?
157 – Then bring your Book, if you are truthful.
37 Who Stand in a Row, 154-157
36 - What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
37 – Have you a book through which you learn?
38 – In it, do you find anything you want?
68 The Pen, 36-38
49 – You shall judge between them in accordance with God’s revelations to you.
5 The Feast, 49
These verses point to the fact that religious commands are from God. All other injunctions and admonitions are false, null and void in religious terms. If a given word or behavior attributed to the Prophet is brought forth as evidence for an act not mentioned in the Quran, the hadith in question is sure to be unfounded; or it may have been a personal opinion of the Prophet which is of no consequence in religious terms. It is explicitly stated in the Quran (Sura The Feast, 49) that the Prophet lived solely by the Quran, the Book that contains all the religious prescriptions. If we take the Quran as our only guidance, we are sure to be on the right path and have no need for any further authority. (We shall study the issue of obedience to God and His prophets in Chapter 27.)
69 - This is nothing but a reminder and a Quran making things evident (mübiyn).
36 Yasin, 69
The Arabic word mubin, comes from beyan (evident, clear). The same expression is encountered in such verses as 26 The Poets 2; 27 The Ant 1; 28 The History 2.. These statements that declare that the Quran is clear enough as an answer to those who contend that the Quran can be understood only by reference to the hadiths and the sayings of the imams of religious schools. In verse 79 of Sura The Ant, the Prophet is addressed with the following words: “So put your trust in God, you are following the evident truth.” It is the Quran that reveals the truth to the Prophet. Therefore, all that is attributed to the Prophet is valid so long as it is sanctioned by the Quran. The Quran, which is clear, is a sufficient source for us to understand both it and the Prophet.
ACTING ACCORDING TO THE QURAN IS ACTING ACCORDING TO THE PROPHET
45 - Say: “I do but warn you according to revelation.”
21 The Prophets, 45
19 - This Quran has been revealed to Me that I may warn you…
6 The Cattle, 19
15 – When Our clear signs are recited to them, those who do not hope to meet Us say “Bring a Quran other than this, or change it.” Say “It is not for me to change it of my will. I follow only what is revealed to me.”
10 Jonah, 15
We observe clearly that the revelation that the Quran contains the only source that the Prophet drew on, the Book denied by disbelievers who wanted to make alterations to it. The duty of the Prophet was to relate the Quran revealed unto him. Therefore, to follow the path of the Quran is to follow the path of the Prophet. The Prophet is referred to in the Quran more often than not with the attribute of ‘messenger.’ His mission was to carry on the messages he received from God to mankind. There is no reference to any other source or book. Had God deemed it necessary He would have referred us to other revelations and sources to believe in. Nevertheless, we observe today hundreds of volumes on hadiths and canonical jurisprudence claiming an authority tantamount to the authority of the Quran. While the authority of the Quran is absolute, being the only source of Islam, today it has come to be considered merely as one of the books on Islam. Its role has been reduced to an absolute minimum. The Quranic verses we have quoted above plainly reject this mentality that belittles the Quran and attributes invented sayings to Muhammad.
HE QURAN LEADS MAN FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT
4 – You are on a straight path.
5 – A revelation from the Mighty, Merciful.
36 Yasin, 4-5
1 – This is a Book We have sent down to you that you may lead people out of darkness into the light, by their Lord’s will, to the path of the Mighty, the worthy of praise.
14 Abraham, 1
2 – Taught the Quran
55 Gracious, 1-2
17 – Surely its collection and recitation is Our responsibility.
18 – So, as We recite it, follow its reading.
19 – Then it is We who will explain it.
75 The Resurrection, 17-19
God has assumed the task of teaching and explaining the Quran. In other words, the Quran is self-explanatory. If in a given verse, an explanation has remained unclear; in another verse everything becomes clear. So the Quran has no need for hadiths, commentaries or canonical jurisprudence. There is no mention in the Quran about the need to refer to such books. The Quran states that it is God who will teach and explain everything in the best manner possible. As an instance of this we can refer our readers to Sura Prologue, 4, where it is said that God is the Master of the Day of Religion. Readers of the Quran who want to know what the ‘Day of Religion’ means may refer to the following verses to understand what it means: 15 Al Hijr 35; 26 The Poets 82; 37 Who Stand on Row 20; 38 Sad 78; 83 The Cheaters 11. Having read through them they come to the conclusion that it means the day when we shall be raised from the dead. As we observe from this, whatever we are after in the name of religion exists in the Quran. The Quran is self-explanatory.
THE PROPHET’S COMPLAINT
We must place the Quran in the center of Islam and be aware of the fact that abiding by the Quran means living up to the standards of the Prophet, and free our religion from falsehoods. The Prophet’s only complaint addressed to God was:
30 – The messenger will say: “O my Lord! My people have deserted this Quran.”
25 The Distinguisher, 30
Actually, this is the behavior of many disciples of the Prophet. The Quran is supposed to have a privileged place, it is holy; yet, it has become a book that people do not follow. It has turned out to be just one of the religious books. People learn their religion from books on Islamic ‘catechism.’ The Quran is recited today not to be understood but to be heard.
All the verses and clarifications we have tried to mention point to one thing: that the Quran is the only source of Islam. In the coming pages we shall refer to other supplementary evidences in proof of this. However, the verses we have already quoted are sufficient to prove that the Quran is the only source. We shall have the opportunity to display the despair resulting from basing beliefs on hadiths, sects, religious orders and traditions.
roger and out
dear sara lisa. salam to you.. :)
i know how you feel about the halal and haram things. me too, i'm getting sick of people doing things just as what they heard from others but actually there's no evidence in what they always do.
so ashamed of people who you heard that "ustaz/ustazah yang cakap" from. they should learn about the evidence from quran or hadith for better understanding. not just simply because other people taught them that way. of course nobody always right. that's why our the imams also had their arguments in some cases when deciding the fatwa.
but then, lisa.. it was still their matter. not ours to judge who's right and who's wrong. i believe you have lots of knowlwdge about quran. alhamdulillah. :) quran already told us to follow Allah, rasul and our leaders (imam) in what we do. i don't remember which verse. Allah knows people will have matters they don't agree to each other. but why quran still told us to follow imams? ok. 1st, because certain circumstances, lets say we have arguments, quran told us to calm down and refer back to Allah and rasul. inshaAllah, we'll get the solution. 2nd, most of us don't learn our religion pretty well as other imams, ustazs, ustazahs are. actually not all well educated. :( just find yourselves a teacher(ustazah) who you can believe with. i'm sure the true ustazah will have a pure attraction to Islam.
i believe what you disagree about our religion, Islam is because of the attitude of muslim and some of leaders who not fully follow the original teach of Islam. me too, feel very bad on that. that's muslim's fault. not Islam's of course.
hope you'll find the answer my sister. :)
it's a pleasure if we can keep in contact in finding the true path btw.
Aku nie bukan budak fiqh , apetah lagi berlambak-lambak ustaz2 hebat, aku budak medik... belajar bio, phy, chem, dan aku peribadinya, setuju bahawa agama takleh ikut mak bapak jee, sepatutnya surat beranak setiap anak keluarga muslim kene tulis kat ruang kosong tu(belum tahu lagi), setahu aku yg cetek ilmu nie, iman ade dua, iman kering dan iman basah, iman kering,contohnya ustaz cakap kat anak murid:okee sume, kamu semua kene beriman, klu tak, neraka, mmg betul, tapi iman itu perasaan, bukan akal, sebab tue salah satu dari ciri2 org penghuni neraka adalah org yg ade hati tapi taknak phm agama, telinga taknak guna dgn betul , mata pun tak nak jugaa guna dgn bayeek,,, hadoyaii, boleh check yee kat surah al-araaf, satu lagi, surah al-hujurat, ayat 14 Orang2 arab badui berkata, Kami telah beriman, Katakanlah(kepada mereka) Kamu belum BERIMAN ,tetapi katakanlah 'kami telah tunduk(islam) kerana iman belum masuk dalam hati kamu,..... (panjang lagi nieee)sepatutnya imam itumeresap perlahan2 dgn hati

Allahua'lam...
dari bdk medik..
muahaha...
dear 58,
about the ustaz thing, it's good that you actually understood me.. and to make things clear with you, no i don't really have lots of knowledge about quran. I still need to learn more. Allah's knowledge has no boundaries, right?
but when you say, quran told us to follow allah, rasul yes that' right. but leaders? (imam)? no i don't think so. Quran never tells us to follow the imams. Never. He mentioned no one. He ask people to follow him or his messengers. And everything that the messengers said are listed in the quran. We don't need to be an imam or ustazah to learn our religion. If we really want to learn, insyaallah, allah will help and guide us.
115 - The Word of your Lord is complete in truth and in justice. No one can change His words. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
6 The Cattle, 115
so why do we need to seek from other books that are not said by our lord?
but again, i have to agree with you about the leaders and stuff. You're right.
And hopefully i will.. and of coz we can keep in touch. The pleasure is all mine.. :)

Salam Alaykum
Seems like the confusion's getting hot...
I'll try to clarify a little bit that I know about the issue that's going on right here...before that, I see from your post and comments that you're a kind of person that likes to think...and thank Allah He guided you to think about the religion, instead of thinking about other nonsense...i can see that ur looking for something, maybe something lost from our deen...i just hope you'll open up and think about the points that others are giving you as well, instead of sticking to your ideas, coz we want a disscussion, not a quarrel...
what i understand from your writing is that we should not refer to imams of the four mazhabs as our main reference...by main reference i mean the primary book or proof to search for any queries or problems in life...
i think you're aware that our deen is not all about fiqh...
if the case is just about fiqh, then i MIGHT agree with you, as there are some scholars who suggest that there should be no mazhab, as Islam came with one deen...not multiple...
at the same time i'm not saying that we don't need the four mazhabs...well, the fact is they're here in our current time...and it didn't bring any problems until the uneducated (islamic educations) people start to be exposed to the multiple mazhabs...
but this is not the issue, as i said...because in terms of fiqh, there have been many debates about the mazhabs...
the issue is if you are referring to the deen as a whole, saying that our only reference is ONLY the Quran, without any other ways of explanation and tafseer etc, then i beg to differ...
Coz we, as muslims need to realize that Quran is our PRIMARY reference, and not ONLY...
What does the Quran want from us? Certainly to be human beings as great as the sahabah were...they are referred to by historians as 'the unique generation of the Quran'...
Why?
Because they live together with the Quran...their actions are guided directly from the Quran, bit by bit throughout their lives...and they have a man together with them...a man that tells and explains about the holy revelation...
now just think, if the Quran is clear enough to be understood, why didn't Allah just send the Quran as a book, so that the sahabah can refer to them whenever they want?...Why did Allah send a man, carrying His message, NOT carrying printed scripts of the Holy Quran?
because...
Islam is spread FROM HEART TO HEART...Rasulullah saw didn't leave behind the Quran as a complete book..the mushaf (book) of the Quran was printed later in the Uthmani Caliph...Rasulullah saw left it ENGRAVED IN THE HEARTS OF THE SAHABAH...that's the point here...the deen is not spread with some ink and papers, because they're not alive...what's alive is our hearts...
so now i assume that you understand now that the Quran is a guideline that is enliven with our souls, not with prints on sheets of paper...so reading the Quran without somebody to teach and explain it would be numb...Islam would not be spread whatsoever...
Now for the Ustaz/Ustazah part, i think maybe the way you say it makes it look wrong...for me, it's okay to refer to ustaz/ustazah as long as it's not in contrast to what the Allah states in the Quran...What's wrong to me is following those who allow the Haram and prohibit the Halal...if there are those kinds of ustaz/ustazah, then I'll agree with you...
Rasulullah swt once said (this is with my own words) that the scholars are the heirs of the prophet...can the sahabah live with the the grace of Islam if Rasulullah saw were not beside them?...i hope this is clear enough for you to think...
Lastly, I'd also like to emphasize again that the targeted product of the Quran was the sahabah...and we can see their carved personalities by the Quran...this is what the Quran is for..to bring this kind of generation into the world...this is because everything the Quran tells has direct relatinship with what the sahabah did, and should we understand the Quran only by understanding the reasons each aayat came...
what i know is the Quran didn't mention the reasons each aayat came...you must refer to other sources as well, in order to understand the true message of the Quran...
sorry for my language...not that good..
Okay.
Not much time for me to read all of these comments, but I do really agree with your post up there. Most of the comments up here maybe come from they who are really pious, religious people, who tried to tell us that we need to do that do this coz of what they believe.
And of course they don’t understand what we really think of this subject of matter. K, there are not much diff between us. Yet, I don’t know you but religion is simple from my point of view.
Yes, I agree that I am a Muslim ‘genetically’. I do follow what my parents did. And I’m still wandering around to look for the answer that He promised.
One thing for sure, Quran is the holy book that we can’t argue with. Ok, so there will be enough rite? It should be enough, really, but remember, we should have faith in His beloved messenger. And Muhammad once told us that:
“I leave to you TWO things that if you hold to and follow both of it, you’ll never be astray, that is ‘Al-Quran’ and my ‘Sunnah’”
Yup, I maybe not the one who suit to talk on this topic but let’s try to follow the advice up there. Just as simple as following those two thing so that we don’t be on the wrong path. Muslim, Bukhari and others (I don’t really know) are the people who are responsible to make the sunnah reach us.
Pss: try to find anyone who have great knowledge about islam, just ask anything you are not sure about. (trust me, I did it!)
salam,
i really like ur post...tp tak sume saya setuju...yes Allah turunkn Al-quran...basically quran tuh kalam Allah..sbg muslim kte kne la ikut al-quran n sunnah (hadith)...ilmu dalam islam nih sangat luas...cube kaji dulu betul2x pasal mazhab tersebut...kenape bole ade mazhab tersebut...sebelum nk kaji mst kne ade guru kn...lg pon dlm adab belajar mst ade guru...mmg kne back to al-quran tp jgn lupe kn sunnah plak...sifat ingin tahu tuh bagus tp klau slalu mempersoalkan smpai ke perkara remeh takut memakan diri...yg penting Allah dah bg guideline dah hambaNya...ikut Al-quran n sunnah :)
i really enjoy reading your opinions sara.I do believe that most confusion in isalm is due to the many difrrent and sometimes contradicting interpretations from the ustaz and ustazah. At times it can be abit ridiculous. As a muslim myself, i only read from the quran too, and i dont let any person try to instill their own pov in me. btw, nice blog and post :) if only more people had ur kind of thinking, msia would be a much more united msia.
Assalamualaikum wbt..
Sara, saya ni tak tahu mendalam jugak tentang semua ni..
Cuma bila awak kata, yang panduan kita hanyalah alQuran semata-mata, tanpa perlu rujuk hadith, atau orang2 yg arif ke.. saya terfikir jugak, macam mana tu...?
Teringatla ayat ni " Diwajibkan atas kamu, apabila maut hendak menjemput seseorang di antara kamu, jika dia meninggalkan harta, berwasiat untuk kedua orang tua dan karib kerabat dengan cara yg baik, sbg kwajipan bg org2 yg bertaqwa." (al-Baqarah; 180)
-yg sy faham, kt sini Allah wajibkan buat wasiat sebelum meninggal..
terbaca pulak ayat ni "Allah mensyariatkn kpdmu tentang p'bahgian warisan utk anak-anakmu....(shg akhir)" (an-nisa'; 11)
-tapi ayat ni menunjukkan Allah dah adakan pembahagian harta kepada ahli keluarga dan tak perlu buat wasiat....?
Macam mana ye nak faham. Kalau ayat pasal kebesaran Allah, keagunganNya memang senang nak baca.InsyaAllah bertambah iman. Tapi kalau ayat pasal hukum2, bg saya yg tak pandai ni, susah jgk. Yerla.. kita nak jugak amalkan Islam ni dengan sebetulnya kan.. Apa yang Allah suruh, kalau boleh kita nak usaha untuk buat dan apa yg Allah larang, sebolehnya kita nak tinggal. baru Allah sayang kn~ :)
erm, cane ek?
sALAM , aku tak tahu sngt pasal agama, tapi aku tak suka sngt korang debat camni, sngt tak best, Klulah Rasulullah tngk korang berdebat macam nie, ape reaksi die umat die berdebat mcm nak RAK,
Orang yg sedih
salam. hi admin ^^
i think i got what u meant by stating the cases of mazhab and im kinda agree with it. obsessions on mazhabs arent necessary but we do rely on them if theres any problem as theyve made tons of researches all around the world from various teachers, sacrificing their youth for the sake of future ummah. as all of them are expert in the fiqhs and hadiths, we can use either mazhabs for our maslahat. if this one mazhab states that its haram and the other mazhab did not, its all down to u to choose whether its haram or halal (after referring to the Quran and then Hadiths, of course)
Keep up the good work.
Salamun alaikum!!!
hey sara, go and listen to this. dont mind some harsh words though. just listen and try to get to understand the point there
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWoG16VA34E&feature=related
It's pitiful how most of you are indirectly saying that quran is not a complete book. As if quran is not enough. As if you know better than Allah. As if these hadithers or imams know better than Allah.
I have no say in this anymore. This shall be my last comment for this entry.
Islam has already arrived during Abraham's time himself. That long. So what makes you think that Muhammad has changed the rules of Islams when all he should be doing is to spread the QURAN.
And don't get confused with quran and sunah. In the quran, it is written as SUNATULLAH. = SUNAH ALLAH. NOT SUNAH NABI/RASUL.
[The Quran 55:1-3] The Most Gracious(Allah). Teacher of the Quran. Creator of the human beings.
ALLAH TEACHES YOU. THERE, HE SAID IT HIMSELF. HE DIDNT SAY OH TEACHER OF IMAMS/HADITHERS. QURAN IS FOR EVERYONE TO LEARN.
The Quran 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.
and muhammad is not the only messenger of god. Like i said, islam came during Abraham's time. And most of you proclaim that 'Muhammad is a messenger of god" and fail to make the same proclamation for other messengers such as abraham, moses, jesus and etc. Hence, a distinction is made between god's prophets, and a major commandment is violated.
Why does the quran say "obey the messenger" ?
Who among the companions of the Prophet ever heard any of God's revelations directly from God? No one! Consequently, they cannot obey God except through Muhammad's delivery of the Quran. The Quran came out of Muhammad's mouth. This makes it necessary for God to command people to obey the messenger since he is the one who delivers to them God's message. Moreover, the messenger did not just deliver the Quran and vanish! The prophet spent all his years from the time he received the first revelation till his death inviting all people to believe in the Quran and to follow it. Hence it is necessary for God to command all humans to obey the messenger who is inviting them to accept the message (Quran).
The Quran was revealed to Muhammad in order that he would deliver it to a community which was primarily composed of idol worshippers and also some followers of the previous scripture like the Jews and the Christians (Nasara). Once again, and for the benefit of the followers of the scripture that we understand the neccessity of the phrase "obey the Messenger". To make this clear, let us assume that the command in the Quran did not contain the phrase "obey the Messenger" but was only a command to "Obey God". Immediately, the Jews and the Christians (Nasara) would say: "But we already obey God! God has sent us the scripture and we obey it". Hence, the Quranic command to "obey the messenger" endorses the new message (Quran) which is delieverd to all mankind by the prophet Muhammad. The Quran is the final revelation form God to all humans (33:40). The Quran was revealed to mankind so as to supercede all previous scripture:
From the verse 69:43-47.
Had Muhammad made or authorized any other writings, God would've stopped the revelation coming to him. The quran as we know it today would've been smaller in size, or not existed at all. Muhammad was FORBIDDEN by god from issuing any religious teachings beyond the quran. Read these verses.
( 69:43) (This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.(69:44)
(69:44) And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,
(69:45) We would certainly seize him by his right hand,
(69: 46) And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:
(69:47) and none of you could have saved him!
Seeeeeee.
Kesian....budak sara ni ada back up from her mom. Hahaha why lah, you believe in Allah but you tak tutup your aurat. Even your mom too. I dont have any comments about your post. So there you go, salam
kesian....
ehhh so that means orang tak tutup aurat cannot believe in allah la? otak kau kat mana? haha well tutup aurat or not. if you read the quran you know what aurat is. kalau tak baca, jangan nak duduk condemn orang tak tutup aurat. orang yang tutup tu tak semestinya cium syurga pon. lagi2 orang macam kau. so long good bye babe
and you know nothing about my mother. so shut the hell up and go burn your mouth inside the oven.

Salam..
Islam has two most importance guidance Quran and hadith..
Allah sent us Rasul to clarify to us something which is ambiguos and Rasul teach us other thing which did'nt mention by Quran but actually it is derived from what Allah teach him.
Thus, the Rasul is still sent to us and he is just a human not an angel because we are human not angel.. And when rasul teach the people that ask him on certain time in the past, we are not there so we don't know.. thus hadith has been narrated from one person to another but it can only be true from people which can be trusted.. They are all amazing people who narrated all the hadith.. say, i believe with the hadith.. I like the comment about the doctor up there.. let say a bunch of people board a big boat..they all want to go to India.. then..there is a big storm.. none of them know what to do.. but then came a person know they should do this way change the boat direction speed up to past the storm.. so people acknowledge that person as all of them want to survive.. after all that person has some good knowledge.. On the past, mazhabs also made up when the imam teach the people around him and then their pupils later teach other person and next generation.. Islam acknowledge mazhabs as Islam know people are differents.. As long as it is between the boundary it is okay.. It is the same as playing tennis.. there are many diffeent type of rackets..u can choose any racket suits u best.. same as the court.. 3 type of courts.. u can choose to play on grass court or clay court or hard court.. u can choose to play as all rounder or aggressive baseliner or counter puncher it is up to you as long it is between the boundaries.. you can try learn by yourself reading just words.. but sometime you can never understand it well if no one explained it to you properly.. you need to understand the rules and regulations..but you need people to demonstrate some high skill technique.. it is the same in real life.. after all.. you can enjoy your life as long it is in the boudaries of Islam..
you can read my previous comments if you want to
Yeah.. now I read some of ur previous comments.. yeah u are so true.. me too.. I have pondering about that much things in my life about incomplete family.. about myself.. about people out there in Somalia and in Palestine.. me too, Once had people ca say complete family.. but now.. my father and my mother still in the middle of argument.. and my father stay away from home.. i wonder about my siblings,I study abroad..I don't really know about their feelings.. But, from naked eyes.. we just hold on to life..live like nothing happen..just letting the matters between them as we don't want all the matters getting worse.. about ur comment before... yet even I have family matters, I still think i'm really fortunate.. Alhamdulillah... my family are alive ,we are living in safe country.. enough food..healthy and with complete body.. so,my mind pondering about the fate of the others..those in somalia,those in syria.. those in palestine.. yeah.. when riot started in egypt, I and my friends were there too stucked there..guess it is our fate.. but we are lucky since we are stucked in the airport..didn't really got into the crowd.. the more I ponder..the more I think.. If Allah want to make all people fortunate, all people in the world are Islam,obey his words.. He can just make all of that in the blink of the eye,but he didn't.. WHY? yeah we are his slaves.. We live in the world as his slaves..it is the stages to test ourselves wether we are the one who obey his words or not..Thus..even if we are fortunate, the body we have,the foods,the family all of that things come as a test for us.. How we mingle with others,how we live our life, it is being written by angels in our books. Thus, I think I must always pray for them because if only me myself I couldn't do anything..hoping that those prayer will be granted by Allah and when i'm being questioned on the day hereafter, I can pass it.. However, I also think that people have different test, and those test, we in other places are being tested with hedonism and etc..wether we pass the test or not, we just don't know.. if we are forget about ALlah,then we failed.. I think in term of test, here the test are more difficult..yeah..that's just my opinion.. so I just do what I can do.. Boycotting.. Donating..praying.. but as his slaves, what is the most important is to obey his words.. Allah know the best!
It's like learning math straight from the book without anyone guiding us....
Well quran is not math. Dont compare this holy book with other books. It's not the same. :)
It's good to read all of your discussion and debate. Well, I'm starting to doubt what have I learned before. But... in a discussion or debate, you must open your mind before you speak your mind amirite? Let's say if you're strongly disagree with others opinion, it'll be handy if you provide the reason why you disagree with it. And an opinion is not a fact, as in certain mazhabs have different opinions but back to the root, Quran is lines of words from Allah and it's not a opinion. It's a fact. And at last but not least, religion is not an opinion, but it's an option whether you choose to believe or not. And pardon my poor English. xo
hi sara,sorry but i don't think you have to question about these things if you don't know about it that well.about the mazhabs,when you are praying or something.did alquran mention about how to pray how to sujud and all in details?yes,i know it contains about a complete solat circle.alquran itu petunjuk hidup.but it has deep meaning about it.so tell me,how you know how to sujud and all?well thanks to those mazhabs that you are doubting now.
and if you are really pissed off about others comparing Al Quran to other ordinary books,then why can't you protect your religion in the same way?by giving positive view to those people?cover your aurat,accept other people opinions in a good way and all?
so tell me,how you perform your prayer?on what sentence of the holy quran,what surah?im pretty sure you follow mazhab shafiee on how to perform your prayers right.that's why we have some people called ulama.to guide us to the right path.sebab after Rasulullah wafat,manusia merupakan khalifah dunia.and that's why we have hadith based on Rasulullah,to guide us to the right path too.it's just you gotta be wise to know what's the real hadith and the fake ones.
and how about sahabat Rasulullah?they are just humans too,but they know more about Islam.and how about those people that translate back what Rasulullah did for hadith or in other words,perawi hadis?and i never heard any stories about Rasulullah saying we can't follow ordinary people's guidance.
dan jika kita meragui satu penyataan daripada seseorang itu,we can investigate about it right?that's why Allah bagi akal,suruh bezakan yang mana yang baik dan yang mana yang buruk.
and a reminder for you.ya,orang yang tak pakai tudung tu tak semestinya bau syurga and ya pakai tudung tu tak wajib.but tutup aurat tu WAJIB dan orang tak tutup aurat tu langsung tak boleh cium bau syurga terus.semuanya terletak kepada Allah.bertaubat lah selagi ada masa.and if you really believe in Al-Quran,im sure you know what you have to do and what you should not do.apa guna membaca al quran tapi tidak memahaminya.dan apa guna membaca alquran tetapi tidak mengamalkannya kan? :)
im just giving my opinion as a muslim to another muslim.Allah ajar kita untuk menerima segala teguran,just keep that in mind and always think positive.peace,assalamualaikum :)
well just reflect on yourself back.you even shared a few links that were written but some ordinary people too.ummm so,you believe in those people who wrote all of that?i thought you don't believe in ordinary people?im referring to the the articles,not the ayat Al-quran.
"if you don't know aboout it that well"
well yes, clearly. You don't know quran that well also. And "did al quran mention about how to pray?" Clearly, you are saying that quran is incomplete.
[2:3] This is a perfect Book; there is no doubt in it; it is a guidance for the righteous,
so, if it's not in the quran why do anyone have to add things up? In a way, you are claiming that you are smarter than allah. why must allah say the quran is perfect if there is so much things that is not there and that you have to seek for other scriptures?
i don't follow any mazhabs because i am not associating anyone with god. i don't want to go to hell coz of that. "to guide us the right path" hey, i think you should educate yourself more about the quran. Allah is the ONLY one that can guide us to the right path. What makes you think the imams or anyone else even are believers? They themselves don't even know that they are going to heaven. there is no guarantee. So what makes you think they are teaching us the right thing? or that they are guiding us to the right path? wallahhualam.
“These are the signs of Allah We recount to thee with The Truth. Then, in which ḥadīthin (Hadith), after Allah and His ayats, will they believe?” 45/6
Do they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allah has created and think that perhaps their appointed time has come near? So in what ḥadīthin (statement) hereafter will they believe?” 7/185
check out that ayat and you will find ha dal ya tsa. What is that? HADITH. :) So anonymous, which will you believe? hadith or allah and his ayats?
Allah even challenged them to create a hadith like the quran.
“falyatū (Then let them produce) biḥadīthin (a Hadith) like it, if they should be truthful.” 52/34
There.
“Allah has revealed herein the best Hadith; a book that is consistent, and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord cringe there from, then their skins and their hearts soften up for Allah’s message. Such is Allah’s guidance; He bestows it upon whoever wills (to be guided)… (39:23)”.
So, if Allah Almighty has honoured us with the best hadith which is the quran, then why should we take other hadith in the first place?
Our Lord has made it clear that all truth is [found] in the hadith of Allah, i.e. the Qur’an,
“…Whose hadith is more truthful than Allah’s? (4:87).”
Allah has threatened those who lie about His hadith in the Qur’an,
“Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this Hadith; we will lead them on whence they never perceive. (68:44)”.
Hadith that you are talking about , are written by HUMANS hundreds of years after rasullullah's death. So, how do they dig out every little things that muhammad said if they weren't born at that time?
"and if it was not for the favor of Allah upon you, and His mercy, a group of them would have determined to mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they will not harm you at all. wa-anzala (And Allah has sent down) to you the Book and wisdom and has taught you that which you did not know. And ever has the favor of Allah upon you been great.” 4/113
so instead of backing up those imams or mazhabs or whatnot, go read the quran and may allah guide you. Not everyone can go to heaven and not everyone can understand the quran coz you know why? allah chooses whoever he pleases. so if you really want to know, may allah guide you.
and about the tudung.
[24:31] And enjoin believing women to cast down their looks and guard their private parts and not reveal their adornment except that which is revealed of itself, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their husbands, or their fathers......
that is the only verse yang cakap pasal aurat. mana awak dapat pasal tak cium bau syurga la apa la? ikut ajaran apa ni? by the way, he said nothing about tudung. cast down their looks. guard their private parts (vagina boobies), not reveal their adornment. so if hair is one of them means laki pon kene pakai kan? coz aurat wanita bukan aurat lelaki. so apa yang lelaki takda? boobies and vagina je kan? cover their bosoms, the chest...
so before you say something, make sure it is in the quran. otherwise, you are making yourself look absurd.
thank you for giving your opinion.
and what i've shared, semua taruk in the verse of the quran. :)
Assalamualaikum.
Firstly, sunatullah means ketetapan dari Ilahi and its a process where things happen where science can't explain.
Sunnah Rasul on the other hand, is where, how Rasul s.a.w do things like how he eats, his diet, his way of showering, his way of how he advises people/ it means how Rasul lives his life.
And i would never say Al Quran is not complete. It is complete. Hadis and Sunnah are the guidelines to Al-Quran. Ijma' and ulama' are here to help us understand the fiqh, and how to do it right.
For example; does the way how you pray, or how you pay your zakat is mentioned in Al-Quran?
Nope. So here comes the Hadis, Sunnah and Ulama. Which are from people who have KNOWLEDGE IN IT and spends their LIFETIME to study Al-Quran and Hadis.
And honey, these 4 ULAMA's are those who understands Arabic language.
We on the other hand cannot even speak the basic of Arab.
And Arab has a lot of proverbs where people are easily confused by their own opinions.
And Al-Quran is a MESSAGE from Allah.
And it does not come easy to understand it.
Reading translations only is not enough.
Because one sentence could bring a thousand meanings.
And that is why we neeed People like USTAZ , or ULAMA' to explain it to us BECAUSE they know better.
YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE ustazah or ustaz but their knowledge is broader than ours.
Plus, i would love to say that YOU NEED TO WORK YOUR ASS TO IMPRESS ALLAH BECAUSE YOU WANTS HIS BLESSINGS AND HIS ATTENTION AND HIS LOVE. BECAUSE WE NEED IT. HE, THE CREATOR DOES NOT NEED US.
AND SAYING PIOUS PEOPLE ARE NOT TO BE IDOLIZED AND SAYING THAT THEY ARENT ENSURED TO BE IN HEAVEN, DOES NOT MAKE YOU WELL ENOUGH TO BE IN HEAVEN EITHER.
I DIN SAY THAT YOU CANNOT ENTER HEAVEN. NO I DONT HAVE THE POWER TO SAY THAT. NOPE. NONE. BUT i hope you can ponder again and try to realize that we as humans who have less knowledge should not try to say things that we do not know of. reading translations, going to youtube to listen to talks WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME as how Ulama' strive and hunger for knowledge because they want to help us understand.
For example; there is this mentally challenged person. and he gives an opinion. would his opinion matter?
On the other hand, the ulama' who are knowledgeable gives an opinion BASED ON AL QURAN HADIS SUNNAH AND WITH IJTIMA'.
WHERE IT DOESNT COME EASY, LIKE SIMPLY READING THE QURAN.
I'm sorry for harsh languages, its like youre saying we are stupid for believing the Ulama'. Really i'm emotional on this. I'm not stupid. please dont say we are stupid to follow the mazhab. really. not nice.
plus, you are here to give your own opinions which could never be sure whether its right or wrong.
NUFF SAID, you said it yrself ppl have their own opinions. so does beliefs. you cant force ppl to believe what you believe.
Al-Baqarah (256)
and i am here not to say that you are wrong.
but i just want you to ponder again and refer to knowledgeable ppl.
hey. its because i care and lets enter heaven together.
God bless you.
Have you read my previous comment?
hmmmm arguments everywhere...but Allah says there is no contradiction in the message so what causes the differences in opinions..if you truly ponder,,it is always the reliance on other source ...we have to study the quran first not another 's opinion or article about what Allah says..its simple not complicated...no matter how much you are able to uproot,,you wont be able to grasp ..cos that is not the criteria..no matter how much you try to feed info..you cant feed wisdom and guidance along with it...these are attained through each person's sincerity and conviction..if you have faith in a guru ,,Allah has warned that they themselves need guidance too...following blindly is a NO NO..for each of us shall be questioned individually,, and you cant repeat the words of the ignorant as we have been warned by the examples in the quran...there is a path to tread ,,,and wrong from right has been made distinct...follow what is right and avoid the wrong..
HA-HA-HA.. so are you trying to say that you've been reading the whole al-Quran and understand each and one of the surah?how can you refer to Al-Quran when you dont even know arabic? from a different point of view..you're funny really.you said we cant only rely on the imams and blablabla but you rely on someone you met on facebook without even reading and Khatam and understanding al-Quran first.LAWL!...
lol lol lol . i haven't finished reading the quran but i am getting there. there is such thing as translation you know. haven't heard of it is it? jappp. rely on who? i am not relying on anyone pon right now. -__- hey, don't be so rude lah. allah hates ignorant and arrogant people. :)
and it's you that don't understand the quran. so before you start throwing a stupid fight here, go educate yourself more about quran okay. i am here to discuss not to debate. if you want to continue being ignorant, and listen to who and whatnot without even using your brain, then its up to you. i am done dealing with people like you.
bye bye
