Response to "Mohammed"

Submitted by Nazia (United States), Oct 13, 2005 at 23:30

Mohammed, your name and the way your argue strikes me as one of those "Christian-posing-to-be-Moslems". I don't waste my time arguing about self-invented conjectures, and lies attributed to God such as: " Mohammed is your role model . …. Do what he says and as he did" because it simply has no Quranic basis whatsoever.

If you are Moslem, which I doubt, like the narrators of Hadith, you are just inventing more Hadith. I challenge you to reference what you claim is from the Quran. How can God's words become meaningless without hadith while Quran repeatedly say "The word of your Lord is COMPLETE in truth & justice." (6:115)

And how can it not be comprehended when in the Quran itself it is mentioned "We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any one of you wish to learn?" 54:17 and How do you idolize Mohammed and attach divinity to fictions attached to him when God addresses Mohammed in the Quran: Your ONLY mission (O Muhammad) is to deliver (Quran), while it is we who will call them to account." 13:40
"You (O Muhammad) have no duty EXCEPT delivering (Quran)." 42:48 "The messenger has no function EXCEPT delivering (Quran)..." 5:99

There is only one or two verses that say obey God and Mohammed. But if read in full context, any intelligent person can discern that 1. those verses refer to when Mohammed was alive and Second, given that all Mohammed preached and delivered was the Quran, obviously it is an implicit way to say obey the message as encompassed in the Quran and delivered by Mohammed.

I also challenge you to refer me to the Hadith that describes the five prayers. I can refer you where it is described in the Quran, because I believe that Quran is complete and fully detailed and it is the best Hadith as it should be.

Most of Sharia law and what it contains - such as stoning to death for adultery, fatwas by self-proclaimed Sheiks (like Bin Laden), and other nonsense (i.e. most dwellers of Hell are women) have no roots in the Quran, but they all come from the fabricated Hadith.

Regarding how the Quran was compiled, much research has been done by historians, religious scholars and intellectuals alike and they have all reached a similar conclusion, that Quran was compiled under Othman's rule in the presence of Qari's (a committee of people who had memorized Quran by heart and matched with the only copy of the Quran that was in possession of Omar's daughter in order to leave no room for human errors.
