Quran alone : The misled Sunni/Shia (the followers of hadith for guidance)

So my opponent's argument is divided into main points (explanations), and sub-points (questions). I shall begin by presenting a rebuttal, inwhich I will only focus on you argument's shortcoming and leave my case at the end. 1- Samiri First of all, the Quran is different from other revelations or holy books. What Moses (PBUH) recieved was the Torah. Also, there isn't really enough information to claim or deny that revelations sent to prophets before Moses (PBUH) were only orally transmuted. However, Moses's (PBUH) revelation is the chronologically earliest one mentioned by name in the Quran. Anyway, to the issue at hand. You totally misinterrupted the story of Samiri. The verse talks about him creating a false calf idol, known as "The golden calf" in Jewish scriptures. [1] And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They said, "O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods. " He said, "Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly. (Quran 7:138) . http://quran.com... So no, the words of Samiri inherintly don't apply to hadith. Samiri did not record anything as far as we know. The translation (of the meaning) is questionable. It refeers to Samiri trying to make the calf idol look holy. He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me. " (Quran 20:96) . http://quran.com... Refer to source [1] for full story. Are you saying that every testamonial should be discareded (because it uses a person's perspective) without even bothering to examine it? What about testamonials in courts? What about multiple hadiths where different narraters describe the same incident? I don't see you point regarding how talking about a relevant portation of the teaching is wrong. So should, for example, a doctor recite an entire medical encyclopedia in order to describe an illness for a patient? Should an Imam recite all chapters of the Quran in order to answer a question someone asked? What you imply is not realistic due to multiple obvious reasons. I believe what you are talking about is misinterrupting, which includes missing or ignoring portation relevant to a certain subject. O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janabah, except those passing through [a place of prayer], until you have washed [your whole body]. And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving. (Quran 4:43) . http://quran.com... Someone who is ignorant of the verse that forbids alchohol might conclude that it is OK to drink alchohol and get intoxicated as long as you aren't worshipping. 2- Sending down revelation What you have shown is confirmation that the Quran is sent down from Allah. However, I don't see the connection between Israellies demanding for gardens of fruit and vegetables being sent down, and Allah sending revelation. You seem to make it some sort of dilemma, but I don't get it. So kindly further explain the point. 3- Thousands of years inbetween You seem to assume that Hadiths are orally transmitted for +1400 years through hundreds of generations. Incorrect. Then you said that Pharoah can become an Imam based on the following holy verses: {38}And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars. " {39}And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us. {40}So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers. {41} And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped. (Quran 28:38-41) . http://quran.com... This is a linquistic fallacy. Unless you are claiming that Imam who leads people during prayer will lead people to fire because he is called an "Imam". There are different types of Imams or leaders. The standard and most used context is "Religious leader". Ofcourse, that doesn't mean we should follow blindly as they can make mistakes. The most important attribute is ijtihad (Striving for a good cause). And just because we as humans can be tempted, doesn't mean that we will go astray. You make it seem that everyone will be fabricate which is unreasonable. By following authnetic hadith you would be both following the Quran, and standing by the prophet. (See my argument below) Hadiths aren't perfect, and some of them might not be authnetic. However, their accuracy is taken seriously, so a hadith that is slightly doubtious for various reasons would be overlooked. 4- Perfection of the Quran & Following example & Asking the Quran I will combine your final three points since they are similar. In an educational system, it is possible for them to simply hand you the material and inform you off dates where you submit your assignments and take exams. However, they don't; they offer teachers. [We sent them] with clear proofs and written ordinances. And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them and that they might give thought. (Quran 16:44) . http://quran.com... The word used is "litubayyina", which means to make clear. So his role was not only to deliver but to explain, not drop a package and leave. Certainly did Allah confer [great] favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom, although they had been before in manifest error. (Quran 3:164) . http://quran.com... It would be a shame if those teaching are lost. No? No, the false claim your arguments are made from is that "Every topic is covered". If so, then please pray tell these essential information: 1- The steps and number of prayer using the Quran only. 2- The steps of performing Hajj using the Quran only. 3- The amount of Zakat we have to pay from the Quran. The Quran doesn't talks about details for various wisdoms we may or may not understand. However, we get them from Mohammad (PBUH). Question: Why should I follow the examples of the final prophet written by man? Answer: Because it was instructed in the Quran? There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often. (Quran 33:21) . http://quran.com... "By man" is the only method we are learning of said examples. And what Allah restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns - it is for Allah and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and orphans and the [stranded] traveler - so that it will not be a perpetual distribution among the rich from among you. And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. (Quran 59:7) . http://quran.com... Following what the prophet instructed and avoiding what he had forbidden would be more than troublesome if we don't know what he had instructed or forbidden. {3} Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. {4} It is not but a revelation revealed, (Quran 53:3-4) . http://quran.com... We must remember that while Mohammad (PBUH) is only a human, by definition, as a prophet what he says regarding religion would be instructed by Allah. The only statement of the [true] believers when they are called to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them is that they say, "We hear and we obey. " And those are the successful. (Quran 24:51) . http://quran.com... It is a fact that numerous chapters have a separte command to obey the prophet after the command to obey Allah. O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result. (Quran 4:59) . http://quran.com... Therefore, by neccessity, hadiths are needed to both fulfil the commands written in the Quran and to gain a better understanding. Thank you, and may Allah guide us all.
