Allah says in <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan,<br />
"O you who believe!<br />
Do not put (yourselves) forward<br />
before Allah <strong>and</strong> His Messenger ( r), <strong>and</strong> fear Allah.<br />
Verily! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing."<br />
[Soorah al-Hujurat (49): 1]<br />
Ibn Abbas (radiallahuanhuma) <strong>the</strong> great Qur'aanic commentator -<br />
explained this verse in a manner that shows its relevance to all<br />
generations that came after <strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Messengers r. He said that<br />
by not putting oneself forward it is meant, "Do not say anything that<br />
contradicts <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan <strong>and</strong> Sunnah."<br />
Along <strong>the</strong>se lines, we underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> next verse <strong>of</strong> this<br />
soorah, "O you who believe! Raise not your voices above <strong>the</strong> voice <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Prophet ( r), nor speak aloud to him in talk as you speak aloud to<br />
one ano<strong>the</strong>r, lest your deeds may be rendered fruitless<br />
while you perceive not."<br />
[Soorah al-Hujurat (49): 1]<br />
To us, <strong>the</strong> forbiddance <strong>of</strong> raising our<br />
voices over that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophet signifies not<br />
forwarding opinions <strong>and</strong> arguments in <strong>the</strong><br />
presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Messenger's rteachings<br />
