The Prophet Muhammad PBUH is both Light (Noor) and Human

I was unable to post the previous round as I was staying in a place where there was no internet connection which is not my fault. My opponent seems to have misunderstood the debate. I clearly stated, "I believe that the Quran and Hadith and sayings of scholars support that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH is Noor-ul-Bashar, meaning Light and Human and that this is the belief of Ahlus Sunnah wa'l Jamaah, the Sunni Muslims." So hence it was my job to provide evidence for that belief which cannot be done without quoting the aforementioned sources otherwise the debate would be pointless. It is as if someone said "I believe this book says the sky is blue and so do these experts". Now if that person wanted to debate that belief of his it is incumbent upon him to bring proof that the book DOES say that and that the experts DO say that. And for anyone against his belief is to prove that the book DOESN'T say that and the experts DON'T say that. My opponent is in conflict with the debate resolution as the debate is about the belief that "the Quran and Hadith and sayings of scholars support that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH is Noor-ul-Bashar, meaning Light and Human and that this is the belief of Ahlus Sunnah wa'l Jamaah, the Sunni Muslims." Perhaps I should have made it clearer so an opponent would not start to drift away from the topic. My opponent knows full well that debating about God's existence and the Quran being His word is a huge and expansive topic that is NOT appropriate to debate right now as that would require many more rounds and cannot be done in one or two rounds. And the Quran IS a valid source to quote Islamic belief from as it is the Holy book of Islam and so are the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH since he is the last Prophet of Islam and the scholars are they considered "inheritors of the Prophets" in Islam and are the most respected and knowledgeable men of Islam, so who better to refer to than the experts? My scholars My scholars are mainstream Sunni scholars which is the largest group of Muslims and so represent majority Muslim belief. Since my opponent thinks I just pulled that out of nowhere I shall now provide evidence to reassure him that the Mutazila and Shia are heretical groups. Regarding al-Zamakhshari Brittanica.com states, "Theologically, he was affiliated with the rationalist MuF3;tazilah school." * Regarding the Mutazilah Brittanica.com states, "Under the F3;Abbāsid caliph al-MaF2;m$3;n, this doctrine of the created QurF2;ān was proclaimed (827) as the state dogma, and in 833, a miM17;nah or tribunal was instituted to try those who disputed the doctrine (notably the theologian AM17;mad ibn M16;anbal); the MuF3;tazilī position was finally abandoned by the caliphate under al-Mutawakkil c. 849. "** Dr G.F.Haddad, a famous Islaimc scholar writes as can be found on ww.sunnah.org, "while the name of Mu"tazila refers to the broader "Five Principles" " tawh"d, "adl, thaw"b, "m"n, and amr bi al-ma"r"f which al-Ash"ari and al-Maturidi refuted in whole and in detail in many of their books. Following is a survey of these Five Principles integral to Mu"tazili doctrine: 1.In the chapter of tawh"d, the Mu"tazila " and the Shi"a in their wake " held that Allah cannot be seen at all, whether in the world or on the Day of Resurrec"tion as that would necessitate corporeality and direction for Him. In contrast, Ahl al-Sunna held that Allah will most certainly be seen by the believers on the Day of Resurrection without our specifying how. Al-Ash"ari authored several refutations of the Mu"tazili and Shi"i view, and early Hanbalis considered that the belief that Allah will not be seen on the Day of Resurrection entails kufr. Further"more, the Mu"tazila " and the Shi"a in their wake " held that the Attributes are none other than the Essence, otherwise, they claimed, there would be a multiplicity of Pre-eternal Entities (qudam"); therefore, to them, the Qur"an is created and both they and the Shi"is deny the reality and pre-existence of the Attribute of Divine Speech. The vast majority of the early Muslims including Ahl al-Bayt reject this fallacious reasoning as summed up by Imam Malik: "The Qur"an is the Speech of Allah, the Speech of Allah comes from Him, and nothing created comes from Allah Most High." Similarly al-Tahawi said of the Qur"an in his "Creed of Abu Hanifa and his Companions" known as the "Aqida Tahawiyya: "It is not created like the speech of creatures." This is the position of the totality of the Salaf including the Four Imams and their immediate colleagues, in addition to Sufyan al-Thawri, "Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak, al-Awza"i, Ja"far ibn Muhammad , Abu Ja"far al-Tabari, Dawud ibn Khalaf, Zayd ibn "Ali and others of Ahl al-Bayt, Ishaq ibn Rahuyah, al-Bukhari and his 1,000 shaykhs by his own verbatim report in Khalq Af"al al-"Ibad, and count"less others of the pious Predecessors. Dr. Sa"id al-Buti wrote:"The Mu"tazila denied the existence of the "Attributes of Meanings" (sif"t al-ma""n"),asserting that Allah is Knower with"out being character"ized by any Attribute of Knowledge (sifa al-"ilm), and Powerful with"out being characterized by any Attribute of Power (sifa al-qudra). The only reason that made them adopt this position is their notion that to attribute such an essential Attribute (sifa dh"tiyya) to Allah I entailed assent to a multi"plicity of beginningless entities (ta"addud al-qudam") to the number of these Attributes, which assent constitutes disbelief by unanimous agreement. Therefore, they said that His "being-knower" (""limiyyatuhu) and "being-powerful" (q"di"riy"yatuhu) are necessarily true of His essence and need not, in order to exist, Knowledge and Power, contrary to the case for human beings. They also said that Allah is perfect and complete in His essence, so that, if we said that His "being-knower" is estab"lished by means of the Attribute of knowl"edge, then His essence would be lacking something since it needs, for its completion, an external means " a position that is unanimously null and void. The above are all specious claims to which the Mu"tazili per"spec"tive gave rise due to their burdening reason with more than its capacity in these matters. This is their well-known method. What is impossible in the multiplicity of beginningless entities is that the be"gin"ningless essences be multiple " not the Attributes of a single es"sence. Now, the "being-knower" of Allah is nothing more than the ascrip"tion of the Attribute of knowledge itself to Allah I. Nowhere in this is there anything "needing" nor anything "needed." This also tells you that the ascription of the Attribute of knowledge to Him does not entail His being com"pleted by means of something other than Him. There is proof enough for us that Allah ascribed to Himself the Attribute of Knowledge in the verse (they encompass nothing of His know"ledge save what He will) (2:255). It is natural that reason cate"gorically assimilate His other Attributes with this one, as"cribing to Him, similarly, the Attributes of life, power, hearing, sight, etc. The adduction of this verse as proof is well-established even if we interpret the terms "knowledge" in it to mean "the known" (al-ma"l"m), although there is no necessity for such interpretation. For if knowl"edge were not firmly established for Allah I He would not have at"tributed it to Himself nor signified the object of the known by it. Thus the signify"ing of "the known" by "knowledge" is still a branch of the validity of the ascription of Knowledge to Allah Almighty. 2. In the chapter of the Divine Justice (al-"adl), the Mu"tazila " and the Qadariyya, Shi"a, and Christians likewise " held that Allah I cannot possibly create the evil deeds of His servants, therefore they are in charge of their own destinies and create the latter themselves through a power which Allah I deposited in them. This heresy is the core of Qadari belief and was refuted by Imam al-Ash"ari in his book Khalq al-A"mal, his student Ibn Khafif in his al-"Aqida al-Sahiha ("40: "Acts belong to Allah, not to creatures, while earning " al-iktis"b " belongs to creatures, but earning is created by Allah, not by them") and, before them, by al-Bukhari in his Khalq Af"al al-"Ibad."*** The Shi'a have many more heretical and strange beliefs distant from mainstream Muslims such as their belief in 12 infallible Imams after the Prophet Muhammad of which the last is hiding in a cave and has been so for hundreds of years and will reveal himself close to end of times. They also believe the Quran is incomplete and they believe the companions of Prophet Muhammad PBUH apostated after his death except a few and other such disgusting beliefs. **** So now I have established the Mutazilah and Shia are heretical minority sects I will continue. Hadiths are a valid source as for without it most of Islam and Islamic beliefs and practices would not reach us today. Also since Prophet Muhammad PBUH is more knowledgeable about himself than us then we are to take his word for it. Also I said at the beginning that I believe the hadith supported my beliefs and so its my responsibility to show they do and I have done so. My opponent is clearly not well-informed about this topic and so is wasting his time trying to divert the topic to something else which I did not do. I ask the voters to keep this in mind when voting. *http://www.britannica.com... **http://www.britannica.com... ***http://www.sunnah.org... ****http://www.alahazrat.net...
