About the Book

Islam practiced today differs from the way of the prophet, for he followed what was revealed to him, the Book of Allah. The prophet did not follow what God did not reveal, the books of traditions. Allah says in verses 44, 45 and 47 of chapter five of the Mushaf that whoever "judges by what Allah did not reveal" are kafirun (unbelievers), zalimun (wrongdoers) and fasiqun (rebels). The prophet did not follow books of traditions. Persons that follow traditions follow what the prophet did not follow, did not authorise and did not know of. The sunna of the prophet was to follow revelation. Persons that follow traditions follow worldly reports transmitted by persons that were not prophets. Are traditions better guidance than the Book of Allah? The umma fell because it abandoned the Book of Allah to follow traditions transmitted by persons that were not prophets. Following books of traditions amounts to a defiance of the prohibition by Allah and His messenger of "adding" to revelation. Treating tradition as revelation amounts to a "fabrication" of revelation. Persons that recorded traditions defied Allah and the messenger. Disobeying Allah and the messenger is prohibited in the Quran. The Book of Allah commands us to "obey Allah and the messenger." For the umma to rise up it must return to the Book of Allah and refrain from treating traditions as revelation. To do so is a travesty. Books of traditions could be used to study the past, as wisdom, but never as revelation or a root of the law. Following tradition at best could be treated as recommended, but not binding. Legislation is the prerogative of Allah alone. Four errors accelerated the drift from the Book of Allah. The first error was the repression of reason, by association of its use in the comprehension of revelation with kufr or unbelief. This had the effect of discouraging Muslims from using their minds. Because they were advised against using their reason to understand revelation, Muslims became confused and could no longer understand revelation, which presents itself as "easy to understand and remember." Traditionists, however, made the Mushaf difficult to understand, not just by alleging that we should not use our minds to understand the Quran. They also asserted, in defiance of the teaching of revelation, that the Mushaf is "unclear," "incomplete" and "incoherent" or "contradictory." Hence, Muslims became intellectually paralysed. Muslims could no longer follow the Book of Allah because they were prohibited from using their minds. In desperation, they turned to their forefathers, despite the warning in revelation against following the ways of the forefathers. Turning to traditions of the forefathers, recorded in the books of traditions, was the second error. The error was amplified by treating traditions as "revelation." Treating traditions as revelation amounted to ascribing "partners" to the Book of Allah. Is it possible to ascribe "partners" to the Book of Allah without also ascribing partners to Allah? The third error was the subordination of revelation to tradition. This took place in three ways. It was asserted that tradition would "judge," "abrogate," and "replace" parts of revelation. The death penalties for adultery, apostasy and blasphemy are examples of revealed rulings being replaced by rulings derived from worldly traditions. This was tantamount to placing the authority of persons above the authority of Allah. Is it possible to place a human being above Allah without falling into shirk? The final error was to replace the religion of peace, taught by the Book of Allah, with a religion of war, taught by hawkish ulema. The wars of aggression embarked upon on the basis of the teaching of the abrogation of the peace verses by the verse of the sword provoked retaliation and the fall of all Muslim empires. Renewal requires rejecting Islamism and returning to the teaching in the Book of Allah.
