The Refutation Of The Hadith & The Authenticity Of It's Complition.

The Ahaadith of Rasulullah
((Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) have been
unanimously accepted by
the entire Ummah as the
source of Islamic Law, after the Noble Qurﻡn. In fact,
upon pondering, it can be
concluded that the entire
Ahaadith contain the real
essence of Islamic Law
(Islamic Shariah) as the Ahaadith comprise of the
mubarak words, actions
and approvals of the
Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wasallam) who has
interpreted the Noble Quran and defined its
object and purpose.
However, it is regrettable
that a certain group of
people influenced by the
corrupt western culture and civilization, have
began refuting the
Ahaadith. In the beginning of the
twentieth century, when
the Western nations
dominated over Muslims,
many Muslims of poor
understanding and little knowledge became
overwhelmed by the
Western Ideologies and
concepts. They opined that
progress was impossible
without upholding and adopting the western
lifestyle. They began
propagating this concept
among the masses. In
order to propagate this
concept they distorted all the Islamic teachings that
opposed this western
culture and ideology. This
group was called the
modernists. Among the
leaders of such groups were people like Sir Sayed
and Ahmed Khan of India,
Taha Hussain of Egypt and
Ziyad Khog of Turkey. It
should be borne in mind
that the objects and aims of this group could not be
achieved without rejecting
the Ahaadith because, the
Ahaadith contain detailed
guidelines to every aspect
of life which are totally opposed to western norms
and trends. Consequently, a group
among this cult began to
negate the Ahaadith and
called themselves the
"Quranic Group". Sir Sayed
and his companion Moulvi Chirag Ali were the
founders of this movement
in India.They did not
neglected the Ahaadith
completely, instead they
rejected all those that were contrary
to their aims and objects
and their limited
understanding and
reasoning even though all
these Ahaadith were authentically narrated.
They discreetly propagated
that the Ahaadith are not
legal Shariah proof in this
age and era. This led to the
legalising of interest and usury; the rejection of the
Prophets, the denial of the
Angels, the negation of
Purdah and other
essentials of Islam, and
moreover, legalizing of prohibited things. Thereafter, Abdullah
Chakardalwi formed a
group called, Quranic Group
and his object was the
total rejection of Ahaadith.
This concept was further promoted by Aslam
Inerajpuri. Finally, Gulam
Ahmed Parwez established this erroneous
belief among the masses
through his influential
writings. This fitnah spread
widely in his period (era). Basically this fitnah
revolves around 3 different
beliefs viz. 1. The Holy Prophet's
(Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) mission was to
deliver the Quran only.
Obedience is restricted to
the Quran only. Adherence to theHoly Prophet
(Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) is not binding
upon us, nor was it binding
upon the Sahaba (RA).
Divine Revelation was only in the form of the Quran.
Hence there is no need for
the Ahaadith.
2. The Sayings of the Holy
Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) were binding and obligatory upon the
Sahaba (RA) only, not upon
us.
3. The teachings of the
Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wasallam) are binding upon the entire
Ummah. However, due to
the Ahaadith being
unauthentic, we are not
obliged to accept them. All these concepts are
totally false and rejected.
Numerous verses of the
Noble Quran, prove that
divine revelation besides
the Noble Quran, was revealed to the Holy
Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam). Missions of the
Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wasallam) as
mentioned in the Noble Quran is to teach and
explain the Noble Qurﻡn
and its wisdom. If the
Ahaadith are
rejected, can this object of
teaching and explaining the Quran be realised?
Another clear indication
towards the authenticity of
the Ahaadith is the fact
that the Noble Qurﻡn
commands us to show obedience to the Holy
Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) together with
obedience to Allah. In one
verse, obedience to the
Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has been
regarded as the basis of
Imaan. Logically, it is not
possible to follow the
Quranic injunctions
without the Ahaadith as the details of many Quranic
injunctions such as Salaat,
Zakaat, Haj, etc. are
explained in the Ahaadith.
The entire Ummah has
accepted the authenticity of the Ahaadith in order to
make the divine
injunctions practical. Can it
be claimed that the entire
Ummah is misguided?
