Quran Wa Sunnah
Sunnah is tradition of prophets. inheritence of every muslim from the last prophets. Islam starts with the great prophet adam and our father, the sunnah is pre-existing islamic practices which quran does not need to teach, as we don’t learn what we have learned in previous classes in school. we instead are told to make use of it, because if something pre-exist one does not need to teach it when it is time to re-establish the message. O you, who believe. Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious). (Fasting) for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (i.e. an old man, etc.), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a poor person (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast, it is better for you if only you know.” (Qur’an, 2:183-84)” ”Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you,” as practices of islam pre-exist and are still available to see in ahle kitab as you can see sunnah of bless you when you sneez in christains. hadith and sunnah – in hadith literature the sunnah have been encapsulated by it. which happened way after muhammad saw and sahaba’s time. the sunnah is alive even before bukhari came to existence. as sunnah is also a source of religion, like quran it is taught to masses and saved in their practices, such as by tongue and action. best way to save information is not to write a book, and make copies but to have mass become living evidence. we muslims are living evidence of coding of information. when a mass of people are one and same on something taught by an individual it makes it impossible that information to be lost. as we inherit and then transfer the information as we learn. this is mass ijamati transfer of information. these two forms of saving information makes it impossible for information to be lost it is same with quran. Quran is taught to mass > mass taught to generations. when time came sahaba encapsulated it a book. is book primary source of saving of quran? no it is again the living practice of mass. Because it doesn’t take too long for people to distort the proper ways of Rasool and introduce new things in the religion. With in few generations the truth and falsehood can be all mixed up. For example without the historical records it was impossible for us now to pray our salah exactly the way Muhammad sallallahu alai hi wa sallam prayed. Just by ijma and tawatur. If he says that we get Sunnah just by ijma and tawatur it’s hard to understand bcs things change within few generations we to this day learn all sunnah the same way, we don’t learn to pray by going to hadith books. it is our parents who taught us. because to save information is best to save in practice of mass it was never saved by sahaba or muhammad saw in version of text as primary source. there is also a reason you won’t find haidth which narrate prayer completely. because it was also not needed it pre existed, it exist in mass practice and mass when mass is practicing something since 1st generation and that 1st generation is transfering it through actions and tongue it becomes impossible for that information to be lost.. it is far easier to lose information from books because books exist in limited numbers but people who are living books exist in many unlimited numbers. so best way to perserve an idea is to preserve it in people. like idea of 14th august and the practice of event of 14th august. or idea of wazu and its practice. or idea of showering and practice of showering. or idea of making tea and practice of making tea. it is not possible to kill an idea when it is saved inside people. what to make up upcomign time can it change? no it can’t because we are also the upcoming time for past people. the present that we exist is itself evidence against the argument.
Oh, I knew about ahle bait version but didn’t know about Hassan Ilyas sb’s research. Jzk for letting me know
