Where Do We Get Sunnah From?
@AhmadShoaib this is circular reasoning . Narrow down the living tradition until you get agreed upon practices to say only this is Sunnah
@AhmadShoaib : “sunnah is already here” The question is Where and Where did it come from? Which record records this? Where did all the Sunnahs, that Ghamidi shb. in his book Meezan/Islam mentioned, get from? If you say amli tawatur, then it includes so many other things which are not sourced from Sunnah. So, again back to the same point. When you say Ijma’a then what/where is the record of that Ijma’a? Sorry to say but that’s not helping in pinning the source and records.
From what I have been studying so far and I am stills studying is that the Quran itself from itself linguistics converys its meaning by itself
Thanks a lot @Irfan76 . Can you please mention those documented proofs, what are those?
That is ijma and that is traced back to holy prophet(Pbuh) for something to become a part of deen. As well as its authenticity is concerned that is the most secured way of transferring something. Established history is conveyed this way. noone would question you and ask for book reference if u claim that Pak was made by jinnah bcz generations are transfering this knowledge. And it is transfered by such a great amount that it would be unreasonable for all of them to agree on something that is wrong and cooked up. This amli tawatur is the most secured way in this world and it is not something that is related to deen. we see it everywhere. And quran is transferred through this ijma also. If authenticity of sunnat is questioned then quran becomes questionable too. As far as hadith is concerned, it is khabre wahid( akhbar ahad). some people heard something from the prophet and in their individual capacity are narrating it to other individuals. It is not the community that is transferring it but only few people. thus it cant be compared in any capacity to something that is transferred through ijma.
