Obey God and obey the Messenger-by raf

-
đŸ”ĩObey God and obey the Messenger
.
The hadith followers use this Quranic command 'obey God and obey the Messenger' to advocate the legality of following the hadith as a source of religious jurisdiction. They claim that obeying God is by means of obeying the Quran, whilst obeying the Messenger means to obey his hadith (personal sayings).
.
There is a total of 332 verses in the Quran in which God commands Muhammad to "say" specific words to the people. 
.
đŸ”ēThe duty of the Messenger
.
You shall obey God and obey the messenger and beware; if you turn away, then know that the sole duty of Our messenger is the clear delivery (of the message of God). 5:92
.
Obey God and obey the messenger. If you shall turn away then the sole duty of the messenger is the clear delivery (of the message of God). 64:12
.
The duty of the messenger is well defined in the above Quranic words. These verses tell us that the only duty of any messenger is to deliver God's message.
.
đŸ”ēThe command to follow the Quran and nothing else.
.
In the Quran, God commands all believers to follow the Quran alone. This command is found in numerous verses, the following are examples:
.
Shall I seek other than God as a law maker when He has brought down to you this Book fully detailed?" 6:114
.
The clear command in 6:114 confirms that believers should follow the Quran as the only source of law.
.
đŸ”ēAre we commanded to follow the hadith of Muhammad?
.
A number of Quranic verses make it very clear that the only hadith authorised by God is the Quran itself:
.
These are God's revelations that We recite to you truthfully. In which hadith other than God and His revelations do they believe? 45:6
.
Among the people there is one who trades in baseless hadith to mislead others from the path of God without knowledge and he does it as a mockery. For these is a humiliating punishment. 31:6.
.
đŸ”ēWas the messenger authorised by God to issue any teachings besides the Quran?
.
God asserts that Prophet Muhammad was warned not to teach any other teachings, or to falsely attribute anything other than the Quran to God, or he would incur severe punishment from God:
.
A revelation (Quran) from the Lord of the worlds.
Had he (Muhammad) falsely attributed any sayings to Us,
We would have grabbed him by the right,
and We would have severed his aorta.
None of you would be able to prevent it. 69:43-47.
.
đŸ”ēDid the Prophet follow anything other than the Quran?
.
The answer to this question is decisively dealt with in the Quran:
.
Say (O Muhammad), "I am not a novelty among other messengers, nor do I know what will happen to me or to you. I follow nothing other than what is revealed to me (Quran). I am no more than a clear warner." 46:9 (also in 10:15).
.
If Muhammad followed the Quran and nothing else, then to follow Muhammad we must do the same. Those who follow other than the Quran are not following what Muhammad followed.
And We brought down to you the Book, truthfully, confirming what is present of the Scripture, and superseding it. So rule among them in accordance with what God has brought down (Quran), and do not follow their desires in place of what has come to you of the truth. 5:48
.
God's command to the Prophet to follow only what was revealed to him (Quran) is loud and clear in both Quranic verses above.

By sam(SJC)Shayᚭān, Jinn, and Related Terms  Considered: . Introduction The objective of this article is to summarise my reasoning for  rendering a number of words in the translation which features  in my work The Qur’an: A Complete Revelation the way I do.  The subject matter lacks concreteness by definition since we  are dealing, at least in part, with unseen forces. My results are, I  think, both consistent within the terms I have set myself (of pan- textual integrity), and with the broader text. I do not present involved detail on each of the topics I address  here. A description of the logistics and specifics of the type of  Satanism practiced by the ruling elites, or academic justifications  for other aspects of my presentation would require tomes, and  would not add much to achieving my stated purpose; this is not  the place to convince people of such things.  Rather, I attempt here to place my findings before the reader...

About Quran by David Namuh

Straightforward declarations of God in the Quran: 1. Quran is the Best Hadith 39:23 2. Quran is the Best Tafsir 25:33 3. Quran is Fully detailed 6:114 4. Quran is Complete 6:115 5. Quran's completing the Deen was time-stamped with the words "This day" Quran 5:03 6. Remember God is the teacher of the Quran. Quran 55:02 And then this; "ŲˆَŲƒُŲ„َّ Ø´َŲŠْØĄٍ ŲَØĩَّŲ„ْŲ†َاŲ‡ُ ØĒَŲْØĩِŲŠŲ„ًا ............" Quran 17:12 Even Hilali the ultra-conservative translates it as "And We have explained everything (in detail) with FULL EXPLANATION" Presenting arguments contrary to these crystal clear declarations of God amounts to not believing in God. There is no other way to put it. These are God's verses; we recite them for you truthfully. In which "Hadith", after God and His verses, do they believe in? Quran 45:6 Besides, out of the 6348 verses in the Quran, a mere 20 or so can be found referenced as explained in the Hadith literature. So where did this idea originat...

Special Note 2:79

-
Special Note 2:79 August 25, 2021 Rabbinic Judaism is based not only on the Old Testament, but also on the Talmud. Like the followers of Hadith, Sunna and sectarian Sharia, Orthodox Jews consider the Talmud (Mishna hearsay and commentaries called Gemara) and Talmudic Halakha (sharia, or rules of life) to be a supplement or explanation of the Old Testament. The first five books of the Old Testament are attributed to Moses but there are many clues that indicate they were written long after Moses by anonymous authors. For instance, there are many verses in the first five books referring to Moses as a third person, and the last chapter of Deuteronomy is dedicated to Moses' death, which contains the following statements, "And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab… Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses…" Obviously, a dead person could not have written his own obituary. This is just one of the many evidences showing that not only the divine nature o...
