2. Allah's Messenger � received revelations beside <strong>the</strong><br />
Qur'aan. Allah says, "Verily, it is We who have sent down <strong>the</strong><br />
Dhikr (revelation), <strong>and</strong> surely We will guard it."<br />
Anyone who believes in Allah as <strong>the</strong> Supreme Rabb,<br />
must agree that <strong>the</strong> guidance which Allah has sent will<br />
be protected as long as <strong>the</strong>re is a need for it which in<br />
case <strong>of</strong> <strong>Islam</strong> is until <strong>the</strong> last day. The question remains<br />
- Is Qur'aan <strong>the</strong> only guidance that has been revealed by<br />
Allah as <strong>the</strong> hadeeth-rejecters contend or has <strong>the</strong><br />
Messenger � received revelation from Allah that is not<br />
part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan?<br />
The Qur'aan itself refers to revelation being received from<br />

i) Allah says in <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan, "And We made <strong>the</strong> Qiblah (prayer<br />
direction towards Jerusalem) which you used to face, only<br />

[Soorah al-Baqarah (2): 143]<br />
This verse shows that Allah had assigned <strong>the</strong><br />
previous Qiblah <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Muslims but <strong>the</strong>re is no verse in <strong>the</strong><br />
Qur'aan designating Jerusalem as <strong>the</strong> previous Qibla. This<br />
means that <strong>the</strong>re has to be an alternative form <strong>of</strong> 'Wahy'<br />
(revelation) apart from <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan through<br />
which Allah revealed <strong>the</strong> previous<br />
comm<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> facing towards<br />
Jerusalem.<br />
ii) "And (remember) when <strong>the</strong><br />
Prophet ( �)<br />
disclosed a<br />
