Assalamu alaykum All,
This is a valuable message, yet a dangerous one nonetheless. It is true that there is nothing that has been left out of the Quran, no matter of
understanding concerning theology that has not been addressed by God in His last Book. It is also true that there is nothing like it, and no words
man has spoken or shall ever speak will come to terms even remotely comparable to the literary perfection that is Allah's prose, a perfection that
becomes manifest in the Book's miraculous stand in the face of time. Truly, the words of God are without rival. They are the light that will never
fade. This is engraved on every Muslim's heart.
But the message I am replying to has not answered certain questions that it poses for itself: why did God not detail all matters of religion (how
EXACTLY to pray..etc) in the Quran? How do we know the intricacies of our jurisprudence, when in some cases they are not clear at all(and
scholars are forced to look to Hadith), whereas God goes into great length describing others(inheritance. .etc)?
The answer is Allah's wisdom, complete, consistent and poetic: God has decreed the role of the messenger. In all of monotheist faith, the carriers
of the message play a vital role in this scenario of life. We are not left alone in the universe to ponder God's existence and our own, we are always
given a messenger. That messenger is God's witness upon us, in whichever era we live. He is the evidence that we have recieved word of our
Purpose, yet God in his infinite mercy has bestowed upon us the messengers as a bliss, to act as our defendants and not prosecuters.
It is is honor of this great blessing of Prophethood that Allah has delegated the role of exemplification to the Prophet, and surrounded the Prophet
with men and women who, in turn, are models of piety, modesty, and honor. If we completely disregard the Prophet and his companions, then we
have no hope of understanding the beauty of God's faith, and the magnificence of God's word. Allah (SWT) knows this more than we do, and has
emphasized it further by passing some information through his Prophet rather than his book, to draw our attention to the importance of the
Messenger's mission. We should not downplay that importance for any reason.
And Allah knows best,
-A.H

Do Muslims love Allah
Al Salaam Aleikum, if you ask Muslims, they all will say: we love Allah, but if we apply the saying: actions speak louder than verbs, we see most
Muslims do not understand what the word love means? How most Muslims show their love for Allah, this is a serious issue? Some prefer the
books of Hadeeth written by men, and those books are not revelation from Allah sent through Angels like the Qur'aan. Some would spend hours
hearing and speaking about Muhammad SAW and his family or certain members of his family, then they may or may not spend few minutes
speaking or remembering Allah, what kind of love is this? Pagans of old days used to say they worship and love stones and Idols because they
used to think this is how they love Allah best and those Idols will bring them closer to Allah, are we like pagans of yesterday, I wonder how
should we evaluate our state today?
Some twist the Qur'aan to fit the books of Hadeeth, if Haddeth does not match Qur'aan, they start debating how certain things we do; came from
Hadeeth and not found in Qur'aan, then if this is true, did Allah forget to mention in His book while Allah claims in Ayah 6:38: "we left nothing
without mentioning in the book", then those who say how Qur'aan did not mention, or Hadeeth came to complete Qur'aan, they are simply Kafir
in those words from Allah that say: Allah left nothing out without mentioning. Those who claim such evil would always say: did Allah mention
the number of Rakaa in Qur'aan, or the number of prayers, we say: if you are ignorant about Qur'aan and cannot find something, does not mean
Allah forgot to mention such a thing that relates to our relation with Him.
Now, for those who falsely claim they love Allah, and maybe doing the worst evil against Allah today, let us share with them how the love of
Allah shows in our actions. Loving Allah are not just empty words we say and people fall for, Allah knows our hearts, so be very careful, you can
deceive all of us, you cannot
deceive Him. Ayah 57:16 says: "is not time yet for the believers to have fear when they hear the words of Allah, and what truth Allah sent, let them
not be like those who were given the books before, and after a long time they hardened their hearts, and most of them deviated"? Please pay
extreme attention to this Ayah, most of us are in serious danger when they act against to the words of Allah mentioned here, so please let us study
those words closely, you will hear me repeating those words a lot from here on. If you do not make the bases of your faith over this rule, of
having fear, honor and respect in completely obedience, when the words of Allah are mentioned, you are against Allah.
How we can apply those words in our actions to show we fear/love/honor/ respect the words of Allah in totality, and we do not place any other
words on the same level or even on better and higher level in this regard as most Muslims are doing today? In the up coming days, I will share
Qur'aan with you, which is greater than the books of Hadeeth and the books of our Scholars, and Allah is greater than all the men you place equal
to Allah, though I can share with you this, it is you who will be held accountable for your actions after this. You need to place Allah and His words
above any other, do not make your books of Hadeeth over the words of Allah, they are much less as less as we are from comparing ourselves with
Allah.
Is not time yet for you too to have fear/love/respect to the words of Allah over any other under the heavens, especially the books of Hadeeth, if
you do not do this, rest assured you are in a very sad state of mind, till you leave where you stand and come to the words of Allah as priority
over any other, especially what those you call Aalim (Scholars) say different to this, you are on your way to Hell, and Heaven will escape you no
doubt.
In the next message we will start a good look at what Allah says, where Qur'aan should be placed in regard to every other book under the
Heavens, while today we are doing the worst by leaving it behind our backs. Muhammad SAW said in Ayah 25:30: "the messenger said: My
LORD, my people left this Qur'aan behind their backs, and departed from it". Are you in this sad state, do you want to change, let me help, let me
share with you what Allah said for a change, you have been in a sad state listening to others for too long. Is it time for Allah now, or not yes?
