(authentic) hadith are golden to the muslims!

INDEED ... my dear Dawud ... you have hit upon a truth that not many Muslims will admit to ... that being that little 'sense' can be made of the Quran without the a'hadith ... wonderful ... I applaud you.

BUT ... the Quran says:

2.1 This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;

So - which is it - if the Quran is a book of 'sure guidance' ... 'without doubt' - why do you NEED the a'hadith to make any 'sense' of it?

And, BTW, my topic was the difference between the Lesser and Greater Jihad's - not salat - please clarify this difference from the Quran - the book that came from Allah.

Peace & Love
