The messenger brought the Qur'an and Az-Zikr (The Reminder)
Misconception
The messenger received a separate revelation known as "Az-Zikr" which was outside the Qur’an. The purpose of this hidden revelation was to enable the messenger to give additional details and explanations of the Qur’an. This is what is stated in Surah Al-Nahl 16 and verse number 44
"Obey Allah and obey his messenger"
Misconception
Since the Qur’an says that we should obey Allah and His messenger, therefore this implies that to obey Allah we have to obey the Qur’an, while obedience to the messenger means obedience to some other books apart from the Qur’an.
The Authority of Al-Qur'an
(Note: It is requested that the following be read with concentrated attention.)
Preface
In this work, I have explained the various misapprehensions concerning the Qur’an which are prevailing among those who identify themselves as Muslims and consequently, their rectification by Qur’anic evidence. The fundamental reason for the origination of these misconceptions is that in the present age, the Muslims have themselves given up the divinely imposed duty of intellectual analysis of the Book of Allah and instead have become blind followers of the teachings of the sect in which they are born into and consider whatever the Clergy feeds them, to be the absolute truth, without verifying whether or not the faith they have inherited or have been tutored to accept has been sanctioned by the Book of Allah.
Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad
By - Anwar
May God bless and honor him! Exerpts from the Quran: Ahadeeth with an impeccable Isnaad! We know Muhammad said these! No rumor here! They are related directly from Gabriel, the divine messenger who narrated God's message to Muhammad (Arabic: an jibreela, rasoolullahi wa munazzilurasoolillahi 'alaa muhammadin).
Muhammad said (qaala muhammadun):
"Who provides for you, humanity, from sky and earth? Who
hears all and sees all? Who brings about the living from the dead, and the dead from the living? Who causes the execution of all affairs?
5 Pillars Myth
By - Layth
In today's version of Islam, we hear that the religion has been built upon 5-Pillars which, if upheld, grant the person a very high chance of his/her succeeding in this worldly life and entering paradise...
The 5-Pillars are described as follows:
- Witnessing there is no god but GOD, and that Mohammed is His messenger;
- The daily Prayer/Salat - 5-times per day;
- The obligatory charity (zakat) amounting to 2.5% per annum;
- Fasting the month of Ramadhan;
- Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once.
