  176. Afterword

We have already looked at the subject of abrogation. We have examined, with full supporting evidence, the illogicality of the idea that one verse can cancel out another. The problem here is that some supposed scholars of religion have gone so far as to say that hadiths have abrogated the commands in verses.

Those who make that claim are essentially defaming our Prophet (pbuh). They are cunningly trying to make people believe that our Prophet (pbuh) went beyond the Qur'an with his words and practices and did things that are not in the Qur'an (surely our Prophet is beyond that).

Our Prophet (pbuh) governed on the basis of the Qur'an and lived by the Qur'an alone. Our Prophet (pbuh) has absolutely no authority to make anything lawful or unlawful outside the Qur'an, and because of his prophethood and powerful fear of God, he would in any case never do such a thing. Almighty God reveals in a verse that this attracts His wrath:

… this [the Qur'an] is the word of a noble messenger. It is not the word of a poet –how little faith you have! Nor the word of a fortune-teller –how little heed you pay! It is a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds. If he had made up any sayings and ascribed them to Us, We would have seized him by force, and then We would have cut off his life-blood and not one of you could have protected him.

Qur'an, 69:40-47

The Qur'an is an explanation of everything and has been preserved. As God reveals in one verse:

… This [the Qur'an] is not a narration which has been invented but confirmation of all that came before, a clarification of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for people who believe.

Qur'an, 12:111

As is clear from the verse, "O Prophet! Why do you make unlawful what God has made lawful for you, seeking to please your wives? God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful" (Qur'an, 66:1), our Prophet (pbuh) has no authority to make lawful things unlawful, even in his own private life. In addition, God makes it clear in numerous verses, such as "Jurisdiction over it belongs to God alone" (Qur'an, 6:57) and "Nor does He share His rule with anyone"

(Qur'an, 18:26) that He is the only source of commandments and jurisdiction. God's commandments are in the Qur'an.

It is therefore impossible for our Prophet (pbuh) to issue a commandment that God has not issued.

When access to the Qur'an is obstructed and some people have the sheer effrontery to say that the verses of the Qur'an have been abrogated by hadiths, it becomes exceedingly easy to fabricate a new religion and attract large masses of people toward it. Let us have a look at some fabricated hadiths in order to see this new Islam which is entirely different from the one in the Qur'an.

Adnan Oktar: (Concerning the claims that hadiths abrogated the Qur'anic verses) These people tried to change the Qur'an. They even go as far as saying for the verses sent by God that "they are no longer valid." Based on what [do they say that]? Based on their wishes. This [saying something like that] is nothing but irreligiousness. How can they say something like that? They say, "This verse, that verse, many verses are no longer valid, are abrogated." What kind of Muslims are they? According to these people, all the verses about love, compassion and mercy are no longer valid. Then they unleash their hatred on Christians and Jews, and accuse anyone being kind and compassionate towards Christians and Jews of infidelity. When we remind them of verses of the Qur'an in which Muslims are commanded to be compassionate and kind towards People of the Book, they say "those verses are abrogated." Based on what do they say that? They answer, "I just think so." How can you claim that God’s verses are no longer valid just because you think so? On the contrary, God’s verses will continue to be valid until the end of the world.

With the claim that "certain verses in the Qur'an are abrogated," they made an evil plan to cut our ties with the Christians and Jews. It is not right. No Qur'anic verses were ever abrogated. The Qur'an is valid and effective in its entirety. Satan is playing a game, people shouldn’t fall into this trap.

Almighty God explains in the Qur'an that Muslims can marry Christian and Jewish women. There is no reason for animosity. (Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's conversations on A9 TV on January 27, 2017)

It is various false and fabricated hadiths that represent the source of violence in the name of Islam. These hadiths and practices are diametrically opposed to the content and spirit of the Qur'an.

These hadiths that represent the basis of superstition must therefore be identified and precautionary measures be set out in a rational manner.

WHEN MUSLIMS LIVE BY THE QUR'AN, THERE WILL NO LONGER BE SUCH LOVELESS AND HATEFUL SCENES …
