If you want to know why Allah saw the desert Arabs as the worst of the worst (9:97) and most in need of a message, read the Hadith. Hadith clearly illustrates how ass backward, horrible and barbaric these desert Arabs were. It’s why they were sent the Quran.
Turns out the desert Arabs did not want to give up their customs and barbaric ways as described in the now glorified Hadith. The Quran was too liberal. Islam no longer means submission to Allah, it means submission to the Hadith writers, namely Bukhari but he’s not the only one.
So I decided to have a conversation with Allah. Allah had all the answers. I’m not saying they’re all good answers, but every single question I asked was answered with the Quran. It was an interesting conversation. Allah promised we could hook up every week on the one condition that I would share our conversations to help reduce the population of the hellfire. Here is a transcript of our first conversation.
Allah, I said, even though you gave the desert Arabs the Quran they prefer to follow Hadith. When I ask them why, they all give me the same answer, which is; “The Quran says to follow Allah and his messenger.” They believe they have to copy everything the messenger did…although not many want to live in tents in the Arabian desert
Hadith are not making the worst of the worst better and conditions in the hellfire are getting dire, bitter fruit is now at half rations. So Allah, what do you think of all the Muslims who follow Hadith?
And Allah’s answered with this verse from the Quran.
31:6 But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales, without knowledge or meaning, to mislead men from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule on the Path: for such there will be a Humiliating Penalty
Allah, they don’t know what the Path is. They believe the idle tales from Bukhari-- who had no knowledge of Muhammad. These tales have misled men from your path. They ridicule the Quran by saying it is not complete without Bukhari’s. And Allah replied;
45:6 These messages of God do We convey unto thee, setting forth the truth. In what other tiding, if not in God’s messages, will they, then, believe?
Like I said, they do not follow the message of the Quran, they follow and believe Bukhari.
And Allah replied with a question to all Muslims.
6:114 Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed?
No they should not. There are enough details in the Quran.
Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.
I’m thinking they have doubt. I hear many of them saying that some verses of the Quran were replaced. Many speak of abrogation. And worse, now they have Non Muslims saying that the Quran was abrogated. What do you say to that?
18:27 You shall recite what is revealed to you of your Lord's scripture. Nothing shall abrogate His words, and you shall not find any other source beside it.
I don’t believe many have read that verse. Many believe what they are told by their friends.
25:28 "Alas, woe to me, I wish I did not take that person as a friend.
25:29 "He has led me away from the message after it came to me. Indeed, the devil lets down his human victims."
Ah yes, choose your friends carefully, but don’t say the devil made you deny the message.
7:185 Have they not considered the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and what things Allah hath created, and that it may be that their own term draweth nigh? In what fact after this will they believe?
77:49 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
45:18 We then appointed you to establish the correct laws; you shall follow this, and do not follow the wishes of those who do not know.
77:50 Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
I think they believe in Bukhari. He certainly wasn’t thinking of the dominion of the heavens when he came up with the Hadith of prayers can be nullified by a woman. They say these are laws from Muhammad. And Allah replied
16:116 But say not - for any false thing that your tongues may put forth,- "This is lawful, and this is forbidden," so as to ascribe false things to Allah. For those who ascribe false things to Allah, will never prosper.
Hmm…those who ascribe false things to Allah will never prosper.. that seems to explain the lack of education and poverty in many Sharia run countries. But they still ascribe to what Bukhari says is lawful or forbidden, like his stoning laws, they are now part of Sharia law. Even though your law says…
24:3 Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry and but a woman similarly guilty, or an Unbeliever: nor let any but such a man or an Unbeliever marry such a woman: to the Believers such a thing is forbidden.
Bukhari said to kill them. They can’t marry if they’re dead now, can they? Have you checked in with the Meccan’s lately? They’ve frickin forbidden just about everything! Music, mingling, dogs…life sucks. They even have religious police to make sure none of Bukhari’s laws are broken! What do you say about that? And Allah replied;
77:49 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
45:18 We then appointed you to establish the correct laws; you shall follow this, and do not follow the wishes of those who do not know.
9:67 The Hypocrites, men and women, have an understanding with each other: They enjoin evil, and forbid what is just, and are close with their hands. They have forgotten Allah. so He hath forgotten them. Verily the Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse
Well these hypocrites are both rebellious and perverse, and they’re causing a lot of problems. They say these Hadith are laws that are attributed to Muhammad but are not in the Quran? And Allah replied
40:66 Say: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom ye invoke besides Allah,- seeing that the Clear Signs have come to me from my Lord; and I have been commanded to bow to the Lord of the Worlds."
So Muhammad didn’t make up extra laws as Bukhari says? Allah replied;
6:150 Say: "Bring forward your witnesses to prove that Allah did forbid so and so." If they bring such witnesses, be not thou amongst them: Nor follow thou the vain desires of such as treat our signs as falsehoods, and such as believe not in the Hereafter: for they hold others as equal with their Guardian-Lord.
Good one! And Allah revealed this verse, also…
52:34 Let them then produce a recital like unto it,- If they speak the truth!
That’s all great, Allah but they really believe they are to follow the messenger over the message. How can they know what you really mean?
5:92 Obey Allah and obey the messenger, and beware! But if ye turn away, then know that the duty of Our messenger is only plain conveyance of the message.
Could you repeat that, Allah?
5:99 The duty of the messenger is only to convey the message. Allah knoweth what ye proclaim and what ye hide
Muhammad was just the messenger and nothing else? This is my understanding, I am correct? Allah replied;
3:144 Muhammad is no more than an apostle: many were the apostle that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then Turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah. but Allah will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude
How can you convince them that they are following the wrong message? Allah replied;
3:160 If Allah helps you, none can overcome you: if He forsakes you, who is there after that that can help you? In Allah, then, let believers put their trust."
Friends don’t let friends put their trust in Bukhari.
But Allah they insist that they have to follow the messenger and not the message. Allah replied;
68:44 Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not
I can tell you’re getting tired Allah, so I only have one more question.
How did Muhammad get the first believers to believe only in the Quran?
25:30 The messenger said, "My Lord, my people have deserted this Quran."
Oh crap.
That concludes this week’s conversation with Allah. If anyone has a special question that they would like to ask Allah, please feel free to leave a comment.
