Muslims believe in One, Unique, Incomparable God; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgment and individual accountability for actions; in God's complete authority over human destiny and in life after death. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them. But God's final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through Angel Gabriel.
It is very unfortunate that the Muslim Ummah has split. You have one side that says that the hadith are on the same exact level of the Quran and you have people who say that you shouldn't follow any hadith at all! It is indeed very sad and illogical for someone to reject the hadith of the Glorious Prophet. I am not intending to write a lengthy article on the subject. I have done extensive research throughout the internet and visited several websites to gather the best arguments against the Quran Only Muslims and combined them together. What I am simply presenting are the links to those sites and some little additional information from my self. This is for Muslims who are debating with the Quran Only sect. You would find the information provided in this article to be very helpful and useful Inshallah.
There might be some arguments that Quran Only Muslims give that you might not be able to answer. However, if you have any trouble what so ever in dealing with them then email me at b_zawadi@hotmail.com
Some Questions to Ask the Quran Only People
How do you know how to pray using the Quran alone?
How do you know how much Zakaah to pay using the Quran alone?
Hadn't the Quran been reached to us from the same sources we received our authentic hadith?
Why would Allah preserve the Quran and not preserve the meaning?
How much is the Jizyah that the People of the Book have to pay?
Does the Quran say that cross dressing is haram?
The Quran says that men could beat up their wives. But we know according to hadith that this is a spiritual beating and not a harmful physical. What is to stop a man from misinterpreting the Quran and beating the hell out of his wife?
Is it permissible for a man to look at a naked man?
Can I pray Salaah naked?
How do we know the order of the alcohol revelations? Maybe the first of the Quranic revelations said it was haram and then the later ones came saying that is was okay except during prayer times. How do you know the order of its revelations by using the Quran alone?
It says in the Quran to shorten the prayer when you travel. How long do you have to travel? How short to cut the prayer?
In Surah 66:3, the Prophet told his wives that he knew because Allah had informed him about it. Show me a Quranic verse where Allah had informed the Prophet about it. You cannot. Does this not prove that there are revelations to Prophet Muhammad besides the Quran?
Surah 2:173 shows that Allah (swt) gave an order for the Muslims to change their Qibla from (Bayt Al Maqdis in Jerusalem) to the Kabah in Mecca. However, there is no Quranic verse that shows the first order that Allah gave to make the Qibla towards Jerusalem. Does this not prove that there are revelations to Prophet Muhammad besides the Quran?
The Quran is passed on to us by Mutawattir narrations. Mutawattir narrations are narrations by so many people that it is just impossible for all of them to get together and plot and lie. However, we have so many Mutawattir hadith List of Mutawatir hadith http://hadith.al-islam.com/bayan/Index.asp?Lang=ENG&Type=3 that teach things that are not in the Quran. How can you reject their authenticity with no objective evidence?
List of Quranic verses that Could Be Helpful
2:129
2:239 (this shows that Allah taught the Muslims how to pray)
2:151; 3:31; 3:32; 3:132
3:31-32
3:164 (messengers are sent to teach the scripture and al hikma could be the Sunna as well)
4:13-14; 4:42
4:59 (shows that Allah and Muhammad are separate to obey)
4:61; 4:64; 4:69; 4:80
4:113 God sent the wisdom
5:92 (the Prophet has to deliver the message clearly, what is the point if he just shows it to them)
7:157 (the Prophet will make things halal and haram for the people, why if they can just read the Quran?)
7:158
14:4 (messenger should make Quran clear)
16:44; 16:64, these verses show that Muhammad was sent to explain the Quran. It doesn’t just mean to proclaim. To proclaim is to ‘baligh’ like in 5:67.
24:54 (the Prophet has to deliver the message clearly, what is the point if he just shows it to them)
24:56 (why keep obeying the Prophet? What else does the Prophet have to say for us to obey him? Why can’t God just say to obey him?)
33:21 (he is an example for us to follow, eg. how to pray etc.)
33:36 (if Allah OR Muhammad made an order it should be obeyed. Clear distinction)
33:66 (why not just say obey Allah, isn’t that enough?)
62:2 (messengers are sent to teach the scripture as well)
64:12 (the Prophet has to deliver the message clearly, what is the point if he just shows it to them)
