The Hadiths re-examined
May 7th, 2013 at 2:50pm
 
The Hadiths, which are considered a keystone of interpretation of the Koran are being re-examined and those which have questionable legitimacy are being marked questionable by a large project being undertaken by Ankara University in Turkey.

Many here, I note accept the Hadiths, like many Muslims, without question, despite it being long known that many of the Hadiths were created out of political expediency by Muslim rulers in order to justify whatever they wanted to do.

So, will this mean that people here will stop quoting the Hadiths as being some sort of authority within Islam as far as interpreted Mohammed's teachings?

You did state the hadith is a keystone to interpreting the Quran.

The basic law of Saudi Arabia which is where Islam originated and muslims do face Mecca when praying states the hadith is part of the constitution in chapter 1 article 1.
Quote:
Chapter 1 general principles
Article 1 states that "Gods book" (Quran) and the Sunnah of his prophet are the country's constitution and Arabic is the official language.
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Law_of_Saudi_Arabia


As you said the hadith is a keystone to interpreting the Quran.

Well said, Baron.

HB's interest in this has nothing to do with the pursuit of academic integrity or historical fact, but rather the search for more loop-holes, escape-hatches, rationalisations, apologist nonsense, and get-out-of-jail-free cards to excuse the Muslim behaviour that so often heads our news bulletins for all the wrong reasons.

(Once again for the slow learners) ... Australia has over 150 different immigrant ethnic nationalities living amongst us, but there's only 2 or 3 that consistently make the daily news for reasons of violence and crime.

Muslims head this list as the unchallenged winners, year in and year out.

HB,

Does this also mean that worldwide, moslem 'extremists' will stop quoting the [Koran and the ] Hadith as an authority, to justify their violent atrocities, committed in the name of ISLAM and 'Allah's cause' ?





THE RELIGION OF PEACE

http://thereligionofpeace.com/







"Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause." "
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #001.002.026

"A man came to the Prophet and asked, "A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for showing off; which of them fights in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said, "He who fights that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause." "
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.065
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.080i




n.b.
......"He who fights that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause."








"The Prophet said, "Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter) would wish to come back to this world even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in it, except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to the world and get killed again (in Allah's Cause)." "
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.053


"The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya' (army-unit) setting out in Allah's Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah's Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred."
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.054


"The Prophet said, "Nobody who enters Paradise likes to go back to the world even if he got everything on the earth, except a Mujahid who wishes to return to the world so that he may be martyred ten times because of the dignity he receives (from Allah)." "
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.072


"I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The example of a Mujahid [religious fighter] in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty." "
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.046

i.e. Muhammad is reported as saying that for a moslem, religious fighting, is the same as a religious devotion.
Jihad [religious fighting], is as if a muslim 'fasts and prays continuously'.
And that Allah guarantees that a Mujahid [religious fighter] will enter Paradise, if he is killed.i



"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain:...."
Koran 9.111

I think this is a positive sign of reform. Many of the most evil aspects of Islam are in hadiths but not the Koran, although they do seem to have a solid foundation in the example set by Muhammed. In fact a lot of Muhammed's rulings were also done out of political expediency, so I am not sure of the basis for "marking them questionable" (whatever that means). In any case, I do hope they don't get their heads chopped off.

Hadiths.  There are more than one.

They have been considered a keystone.  What though, if the interpretation of a particular issue is based on one which is proven to be false?   What does that do to the interpretation?  Render it false?

Potentially, this has considerable potential to render a great many judgements invalid, with considerable roll on effect.

This rather suggests that Islam has facilities for re-interpretation of Mohammed's teachings.

Is it because of their religion, their upbringing or failures of the system to cope with their needs?

Considering their religion actively preaches that they should obey the laws of the nation they reside in, should not steal, rape or commit violence, etc. I think it is a bit of a long stretch to ascribe their misbehaviour to the religion they purport to be following old man.

As the project is based in Ankara University in Turkey that is extremely unlikely.

The plural of hadith is not hadiths it is hadeeth, you are showing your ignorance with Islam yet again.

How did the 600 page Qadri fatwa which outlawed Islamic terror go,if Islamic terror is not allowed then why the need for a 600 page fatwa outlawing terror?

Allah does demand 20% of all war booty, why would anyone worship a god that demands 20% of all war booty?
Quote:
And know that  anything you obtain of war booty, then indeed for allah is 1/5 of it.
www.quran.com/8/41


Convert or die?
www.quran.com/9/5

Quote:
The prophet of allah attacked the Banu al Mustaliq while they were inattentive and their cattle were drinking water.So their fighters were killed and the survivors (ie women and children) were taken prisoners.On that day Juwairiya was obtained.
www.sunnah.com/search/banu-mustaliq

Those hadeeth even mention how muslims had sex (raped?) with those captives.

Sex slaves are halal for muslim men,Mohammad had a coptic christian sex slave called Maria-
Quote:
Islam allows a man to have intercourse with his slave woman, whether he has a wife or wives or is not married.

The wife has no right to object to her husband owning female slaves or to his having intercourse with them.

And Allah knows best.

What makes you think Mohammad was not a prophet pretender?

Ask a muslim about how Mohammad indulged in rape pillage and plunder of the Jewish tribes which resulted in him gaining Juwairiya and Safiyya as wives, listen to them defend Mohammad's methods of finding wives.

Mecca was once a city of religious tolerance with over 360 gods worshipped at the Kaaba before Mohammad imposed the first religious dictatorship and outlawed all other gods except for his imaginary friend in the sky called allah.
Quote:
It has been narrated by Umar al Khattib that he heard the mesenger of Allah say:
I will expel the jews and christians from the arabian peninsula and will not leave any but muslim.
www.sunnah.com/search/expel-the-jews


The Quran is just as absurd,once upon a time Allah sent flocks of birds armed with stones to help the muslims in battles, why does Allah no longer send flocks of birds armed with stones to defend muslims?
Quote:
Have you not considered how your lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?

Did he not make their plan into misguidance?

And he sent against them birds in flocks

Striking them with stones of hard clay

And he made them like eaten straw.

This is an important move by the Turkish scholars and a courageous one. As FD said, much of the brutality practiced in the name of Islam stems from ahadith. Stoning is the most extreme practice supported by hadith that contradicts the Quran that I am aware of. They should probably start with that one. That being said, this won't go down very well with the extremists; I predict an outpouring of Rashdie-esque fatwas in the near future (if it hasn't started already).
