If I could interject my non-muslim, non-professional opinion, there is a reason why Hadith are important to Shariah. You compare the Hadith to the Quran and take the Quran above the hadith, but the Hadith tell you more on how to implement the Quran. The Quran says to pray, the Hadith tell your HOW to pray. The Quran tells you to be kind to your brothers, the Hadith shows you how Muhammed (pbuh) put this into practice. The Hadith offer examples of how the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) put into practice those things taught by the Quran. That's why they are important to the Shariah Laws. They act as clarifications for those of us that are a bit thick headed. They also act as references for adab (Islamic Manners). Hadiths are good because they also can show how women were integral parts of early Islam. They show how a man is to be good to his wife by showing how the Prophet (pbuh) was with his wives and how he adjudicated between his followers. Many hadiths refer to women coming to him for advice. Obviously they were not locked away in their homes or they couldn't have done this. The Hadith are good ways to learn. Think of the Quran as the foundation and the house. The Hadith are the furniture and roof. The Opinions of Scholars can be the door, windows and garden outside. All make for the dwelling. Anyway, that's just what I've learned in my nearly two years here. I hope I'm getting it better. Edited by Angela |

QheQ wrote �you will find the most sincere answer from within yourself, I hope.� QheQ�..Sincerely, I hope, God willing that this modest effort will in some measure prove useful and I seek His forgiveness for any short comings!��.I am keeping myself in the learning mode too just like you I do not want to be ZAALIM! More importantly we believe, as all Muslims should believe, that the Quran is the word of Allah containing guidance on all aspects of life. The Quran commands us to perform Salaat. Our beloved Prophet (pbuh) shows us how and commanded �Pray as you see me praying�. There can be no addition to or subtraction from the manner of performing the Prayer. The Quran commands us to perform the Hajj and to experience its benefits. Our Prophet (pbuh) shows us how to perform the Hajj and commanded. �Take from me your rites in performing the pilgrimage.� The pilgrimage must there fore be performed as he did it with only the variations and allowances as he permitted. To sum up here the sunnah is valid for all times to come, there is scope provided in it dealing with issues that people at the time of our Prophet (pbuh) did not face. The very basic principle in Islam is that every act or transaction is allowed unless it is prohibited.
Mod Edit: Just changed the font size. Hope you don't mind. Thanks Edited by bmzsp |

Quite sincerely, being unable to access the net at home, i have difficulty posting replies to so many people. I humbly request any one, preferably the most knowledgeable one to continue the dialog, say Mr/Ms Andalus or someone else.
Will touch back soon |

Yes, very correct, BMZSP, the meaning is as suggested with a slight change from myself. '(This is) That book, in which there is no doubt." But the last part (Fee he) sometimes can be connected to the remaining (or the following words too). (It is ) That book in which there is no doubt. It is a guidance for the God fearing people. (It is) That book, no doubt. There is guidance for the God fearing people. Forgive me if there is any mistake. The meaning of Dhalika is "That". It points to a distant or higher level object, compared to hadha (This).

Regarding Laa Raib or Laa Raiba, it simply means No Doubt. An Arab scholar or a good scholar of Qur'aan will not read it as "No doubt". Let me show you by way of examples: First, the verse as it is: Zaa-li-kal-kitaabo, laa raib." Let us translate now and see how many ways can we do it. 1. This is the Book, there is no doubt in it. 2. This Book has no doubt in it. 3. No doubt, this is the Book. 4. Without any doubt, this is the Book. 5. Of course this is the Book! What is the correct meaning of this verse? There is no doubt that this is the Book from Allah, or simply Of course this is the Book (from Allah) BMZ Edited by bmzsp |
