He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), has indeed obeyed Allah
Compiled by Shakeel Ahmad
This is a response to hadeeth rejectors and to those who claim that no source other than Quran should be trusted ... nothing at all.
Here
are numerous verses of
Quran wherein Allah directs us to
obey Allah's messengers (prophets, peace be upon all of them). Books of
Allah sent to the mankind by His prophets (peace be upon all of them)
or the sayings of His prophets (peace be upon all of them) were either
changed, distorted or completely destroyed because of which Allah sent
the holy Quran (final book: Allah confirmed that nobody can ever change
Allah's words sent through Quran, Refer to 2:23-24, 6: 115, 15:9,
10:15, 17:88, etc.) through the FINAL messenger (Muhammad SAW, refer to
Quran 33:40). Kindly go through the verses in which Allah commands us
to obey His messenger:
[2:285] The Messenger (Muhammad SAW) believes in what has been sent
down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His
Books, and His Messengers. They say,
"We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers" - and
they say, "We
hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your
Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)."
[3:32] Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Obey
Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)."
But if they turn away, then Allah does not like the disbelievers.
[3:50] And I have come confirming that which was before me of the Taurat
(Torah), and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you,
and I have come to you with a proof from your Lord. So fear Allah and obey me.
[3:132] And obey
Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)
that you may obtain mercy.
[4:13] These are the limits (set by) Allah (or ordainments as regards
laws
of inheritance), and whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW)
will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to
abide therein, and that will be the great success.
[4:46] Among those who are Jews, there are some who displace words from
(their) right places and say: "We hear your word (O Muhammad SAW ) and
disobey," and "Hear and let you (O Muhammad SAW) hear nothing." And
Raina with a twist of their tongues and as a mockery of the religion
(Islam). And if only they had said: "We hear and obey",
and "Do make us
understand," it would have been better
for them, and more proper, but Allah has cursed them for their
disbelief, so they believe not except a few.
[4:59]
O you who believe!
Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW),
and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in
anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger (SAW),
if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more
suitable for final determination.
[4:64] We sent no Messenger, but to be obeyed by Allahs Leave. If they (hypocrites), when they had been unjust to themselves, had come to you (Muhammad SAW) and begged Allahs Forgiveness, and the Messenger had begged forgiveness for them: indeed, they would have found Allah All-Forgiving (One Who accepts repentance), Most Merciful.
[4:65]
But no, by your Lord, they
can have no Faith, until
they make you (O Muhammad SAW) judge in all disputes between them, and
find in
themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with
full
submission.
[4:80] *He who
obeys the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), has indeed obeyed
Allah, but he who turns away, then we
have not sent you (O Muhammad SAW) as a
watcher over them*.
[4:136]
O you who believe! Believe in Allah, and His messenger (Muhammad SAW),
and the Book (the Quran) which He has sent down to His messenger, and
the Scripture which He sent down to those before (him), and whosoever
disbelieves in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His messengers, and the
last Day, then indeed he has strayed far away.
[5:7] And remember Allahs Favour upon you and His Covenant with which
He bound you when you said:
"We hear and we
obey." And fear Allah. Verily,
Allah is AllKnower of the secrets of (your) breasts.
[5:92] And obey
Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad
SAW), and beware (of even coming near
to drinking or gambling or
AlAnsab, or AlAzlam, etc.) and fear Allah. Then if you turn away, you
should know that it is Our Messengers duty
to convey (the Message) in the clearest way.
[8:1] They ask you (O Muhammad SAW) about the spoils of war. Say: "The
spoils are for Allah and the Messenger." So fear Allah and adjust all
matters of difference among you, and obey Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad
SAW), if you are believers.
[8:20] O you who believe!
Obey
Allah and His
Messenger, and turn not away from him
(i.e. Messenger Muhammad SAW) while you are hearing.
Can you be a believer if you don't obey the Messenger?
[8:46]
And obey Allah
and His
Messenger, and do not dispute (with
one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be
patient.
Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).
[9:29]
Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the last
Day, (3)
nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah
and His messenger (4) and those who
acknowledge not the religion
of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and
Christians),
until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves
subdued.
[9:71] The believers, men and women, are Auliya (helpers, supporters,
friends, protectors) of one another, they enjoin (on the people)
Al-Maroof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to
do), and forbid
(people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds,
and all that Islam has forbidden); they perform
As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give the Zakat, and obey Allah and His
Messenger. Allah will have His Mercy
on them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
[9:99] And of the bedouins there are some who believe in Allah and the last Day, and look upon what they spend in Allahs Cause as approaches to Allah, and a cause of receiving the messengers invocations. Indeed these (spendings in Allahs Cause) are an approach for them. Allah will admit them to His Mercy. Certainly Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[16:44] With clear signs and Books (We sent the Messengers). And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad SAW) the reminder and the advice (the Quran), that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them, and that they may give thought.
To hadith rejecters: where are those explanations that Allah commanded the last prophet to make? Allah allowed them to be lost ... how would those explanations help our generation?
[20:90] And Haroon (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order."
[22:78]
And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and
under
discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you
in
religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named
you
Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the
Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind!
So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to
Allah. He is
your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help!
[24:47] They (hypocrites) say: "We have believed in Allah and in the
Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and we
obey," then a party of them turn away
thereafter, such are not believers.
[24:51] The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called
to
Allah (His Words, the Quran) and His Messenger (SAW),
to judge between them,
is that they say: "We
hear and we obey." And such are the
prosperous ones
(who will live forever in Paradise).
[24:52] And whosoever
obeys Allah and His Messenger
(SAW), fears Allah, and keeps his duty
(to Him), such are the successful ones.
[24:54] Say: "Obey
Allah and obey the Messenger, but if
you turn away, he
(Messenger Muhammad SAW) is only responsible for the duty placed on him
(i.e. to convey Allahs Message) and you for that placed on you. If you
obey him,
you shall be on the right guidance. The Messengers duty is only to
convey (the message) in a clear way (i.e. to preach in a plain way)."
[24:56] And perform AsSalat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat and obey the
Messenger (Muhammad SAW) that you may
receive mercy (from Allah).
[26:108] "So fear Allah,
keep your duty to Him, and obey
me.
[26:110] "So keep your duty to Allah, fear Him and obey
me."
[26:126] "So fear Allah,
keep your duty to Him, and obey
me.
[26:131] "So fear Allah,
keep your duty to Him, and obey
me.
[26:144] "So fear Allah,
keep your duty to Him, and obey
me.
[26:150] "So fear Allah,
keep your duty to Him, and obey
me.
[26:163] "So fear Allah,
keep your duty to Him, and obey
me.
[26:179] "So fear Allah,
keep your duty to Him, and obey
me.
[26: 215-216] And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you.
Then if they
disobey
you, say: "I am innocent of what you
do."
[33:21]
Indeed in
the messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you
have a good example to follow for him
who hopes in (the Meeting
with) Allah and the last Day and remembers Allah much.
[33:33] And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like
that of the times of ignorance, and perform
As-Salat (IqamatasSalat), and give Zakat and obey Allah and His
Messenger. Allah wishes only to remove
ArRijs (evil deeds and sins, etc.) from you, O members of the family
(of the Prophet
SAW), and to purify you with a thorough purification.
[33:36]
It
is not for a believer, man or woman, when
Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any
option
in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has
indeed
strayed in a plain error.
[33:66] On the Day when their faces will be turned over in the Fire,
they will say: "Oh, would that we had
obeyed
Allah and obeyed the Messenger (Muhammad
SAW)."
[33:71] He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive
you your sins. And whosoever
obeys Allah
and His Messenger (SAW) he has indeed
achieved a great achievement (i.e. he will be saved from the Hell-fire
and made to enter Paradise).
[43:63] And when Iesa (Jesus) came with (Our) clear Proofs, he said: "I
have come to you with
Al-Hikmah (Prophethood), and in order to make clear to you some of the
(points) in which you differ, therefore
fear Allah
and obey me,
[47:33] O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)
and render not vain your deeds.
[48:16] Say (O Muhammad SAW) to the bedouins who lagged behind: "You
shall be called to fight against a people given to great warfare, then
you shall
fight them, or they shall surrender. Then if you
obey, Allah will give you a fair
reward, but if you turn away as you did turn away before, He will
punish you with a painful torment."
[48:17] No blame or sin is there upon the blind, nor is there blame or
sin upon the lame, nor is there blame or sin upon the sick (that they
go not
forth to war). And whosoever
obeys Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad
SAW), He will admit him to Gardens
beneath which rivers flow (Paradise); and
whosoever turns back, He will punish him with a painful torment.
[49:14] The bedouins say: "We believe." Say: "You believe not but you
only say, We have surrendered (in Islam), for Faith has not yet entered
your
hearts. But if you
obey Allah and His Messenger (SAW), He
will not decrease
anything in reward for your deeds. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful."
[58:13] Is it that ye are afraid of spending sums in charity before
your private consultation (with him)? If, then, ye do not so, and Allah
forgives
you, then (at least) establish regular prayer; practise regular
charity; and
obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah is well-acquainted with all
that ye do.
[58:22]
You (O Muhammad SAW) will not find any people who believe in Allah and
the last
Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allah
and His messenger (Muhammad SAW ),
even though they were their
fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people).
For such
He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Rooh
(proofs,
light and true guidance) from Himself. And We will admit them to
Gardens
(Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allah
is pleased
with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Verily, it
is the
Party of Allah that will be the successful.
[59:7] What Allah
gave as booty (Fai) to His
Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from the people of the townships, - it is for
Allah,
His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), the kindred (of Messenger Muhammad SAW),
the
orphans, AlMasakin (the poor), and the wayfarer, in order that it may
not become
a fortune used by the rich among you. And whatsoever
the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he
forbids you,
abstain (from it) , and fear Allah.
Verily, Allah is Severe in
punishment.
[64:12] Obey
Allah, and obey the Messenger (Muhammad
SAW), but if you turn away, then the
duty of Our Messenger is only to convey (the Message)
clearly.
[71:3] "That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey
me:
Now, will any hadeeth-rejector guide me on how I can obey the FINAL
MESSENGER (Muhammad SAW) if his sayings and his guidance are not
available
to me, as claimed by them? Those who believe in the authenticity of
hadeeth collections compiled by
Bukhari, Muslim etc advise me to consider these collections to be
truthful and consider them as the sayings and
guidance of the FINAL MESSENGER (Muhammad SAW). Why should I suspect
years of
research work done centuries ago by sincere, honest and righteous
Isalmic
scholars? Simply because a few of the ahadeeth does not suit my
temperament or
make keep me away from things I love to do?
Kindly
ponder over this: the FINAL MESSENGER (Muhammad SAW) of Allah is
supposed to be a role
model for us (the whole of mankind), but how can I follow him or learn
from his role if his guidance is not available to me at all. Will Allah
ever ask
His servants to do something impossible (follow some one whose sayings
are not available at all in authentic form)?
[33:21] *Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a
good example to
follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day
and remembers Allah much *.
Are those who urge me to follow ONLY QURAN, and throw away all the
ahadeeth guiding me or misguiding me? Who is hindering me from the path
of Allah (and
His messenger)?
[47:34] *Verily, those who disbelieve, and hinder (men) from the Path
of Allah (i.e. Islam); then die while they are disbelievers, Allah will
not
forgive them.*
And by Nafs, and Him Who perfected him (man) in proportion; Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself. And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself. [Quran, 91: 7-10]
>> But the Unbelievers (are steeped) in self-glory and Separatism. [Quran 38:2]
