grant him peace) said that the Qur’an was the word of Allah first and then recited the verses of the Qur’an. In status, the Qur’an is higher, though to believe the Qur’an is the word of Allah you have to accept the hadith. You may look at it as in height, the roof is above, and the ladder is beneath, but if you want to reach the roof you would first have to approach the ladder which is beneath. In the same way, in Excellency the Qur’an is higher; though to believe the Qur’an is the Qur’an you would first have to approach the hadith! Another way to look at it is if you want to believe the Qur’an is the word of Allah, you would use the hadith as a wasila. You cannot accept the Qur’an is the word of Allah without the wasila of the hadith! Wisdom Allah Almighty revealed wisdom (other than the Qur’an) to the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), as Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: 002.151 Even as We have sent unto you a messenger from among you, who reciteth unto you Our revelations and causeth you to grow, and teacheth you the Scripture and wisdom, and teacheth you that which ye knew not. 004.113 But for the grace of Allah upon thee (Muhammad), and His mercy, a party of them had resolved to mislead thee, but they will mislead only themselves and they will hurt thee not at all. Allah revealeth unto thee the Scripture and wisdom, and teacheth thee that which thou knewest not. The grace of Allah toward thee hath been infinite. These two verses have clearly distinguished the Qur’an as one thing and the Prophet’s (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) wisdom as something else. The Prophet’s wisdom is his example - his sunnah. His (may Allah bless him and grant him peace ) sunnah has reached us through the hadith, therefore one will have to accept and believe in the hadith. The wisdom mentioned in the verses have to be something other than the Qur’an-the hadith. Furthermore, Allah Almighty says; ‘and causeth you to grow ,’ Allah Almighty is saying that the Prophet used to cause his companions to grow, i.e., he would purify them. The manner in which the Prophet purified his companions and the Muslims are mentioned in the hadith; you have to believe in hadith to understand the verses of the Qur’an, in this case if you 192
don’t you are not only denying the way in which the Prophet purified his companions but you are also denying his wisdom. WE HAVE THE BEST EXAMPLE There are many things in the Qur’an which have only been mentioned once and some things which are only briefly explained. For example, the word ‘Salat’ (prayer) has been mentioned in the Qur’an, and we have been commanded to pray five times a day, though the manner in which to pray and what to say whilst praying is not in the Qur’an. We are told this information through the sunnah-the hadiths. Another example is the word ‘Zakat’ (charity) had also been mentioned in the Qur’an, but the amount of Zakat to pay has not been mentioned; for this information we have to turn to the hadiths. Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: 033.021 Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much. This verse informs us that indeed we have a good example-our beloved Rasulullah ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace). The Prophet ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) could have recited the verses of the holy Qur’an to his companions, and the companions could have thought of their own interpretation and settled for their own meanings. Though this was not the way it worked. The Prophet ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would recite the verses and would then explain them and then show how to implement them. In the case of Salat, he would physically show the companions how to pray. These explanations and actions have come to us through the hadiths. If one refuses to accept and believe the hadiths, he will be left confused and will be denying the Prophet’s example. Ali: I do not understand the points you are making! I showed you a simple verse…you cannot ‘compete’ with the simple words in this verse: 006.038 There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered. I do not need another two hour lecture! Your claim that such and such things are not mentioned in the Qur’an is wrong! You have to find the ‘golden thread’ that links the verses together, when you make that link you will see. 193
