Episode 31- Part 165
0:00 Intro, Analysis of various Ahadeeth that are presented by critics.
2:18 First example: Surah Baqarah; Instruction regarding periods for women. Hadeeth limits the scope of this rule.
7:55 Ghamidi sb’s explanation about the first example.
12:28 Why and how does the confusion occur between the Quran and its explanation by Rasool SAW. Why do people think that Rasool changes/limits the Quran’s laws?
15:18 Impact on the status of Allah’s book/kalam, when people say that Quran doesn’t clearly state anything, it is vague and Prophet clarifies/changes/limits the scope and brings everything within reason.
18:30 Second example: Quran says in Surah Baqarah (Allah allowed trade), but Hadeeth tells us that trading of idols is not allowed.
-
Episode 32- Part 166
0:00 Intro
0:42 Third example: Surah Nisa uses the word ‘Beat women’ in absolute terms. Hadeeth limits its scope.
6:00 Why the words of the Quran are taken out of context and categorized in the fiqh. Then it creates confusion in understanding what Quran is trying to say.
9:40 One of the reasons of going astray and not understanding the Quran properly is not taking into account the context and logical corollaries of the statements.
12:53 Fourth example: Surah Nisa states in absolute words that a boy gets twice the share of girl in inheritance. Hadeeth limits the scope by restricting the inheritance for the son in some cases.
23:54 When scholars say that hadeeth clarifies/changes/limits the Quran and makes it reasonable, does it not degrade the status of Allah’s book?
-
Episode 33- Part 167
0:00 Intro
1:00 Does hadeeth contain ‘Wahi’ and revelation?.
5:30 When Allah sends all revelation, and decides which one needs to be propagated to people like Quran. Then there must be a difference between Quran and other ‘wahi’.
9:05 The fact that “Prophet SAW stopped some people from writing Hadeeth”, is known by a hadeeth. So how can we use hadeeth to define the status of Hadeeth?.
12:35 What does the verse in Surah Najm, (Prophet doesn’t say anything on his own) mean?.
14:28 A question on the ‘ilm Rijaal’, its period and gap between the time of Prophet and the time of Hadeeth scholars.
16:20 There are differences on the status/authenticity of the narrators themselves. So how can we base our knowledge on something that is controversial in itself.
20:38 What is your approach in accepting ahadeeth, and considering the narrators as authentic.?
22:53 How can we decide about the authenticity of the narrators today? Everything is based on the statements and judgements of some people of old times.
24:13 How do you see the statements that Imam Bukhari analyzed several lacs ahadeeth?. It doesn’t seem to be humanly possible based on the science and logic.
27:20 Do you accept the possibility of political influences of narrators in ahadeeth?
29:45 On the basis of this knowledge that has inherent limitations, How can we say that we can lose our Iman if we don’t accept it, and it becomes obligatory on us to obey.
-
Episode 34- Part 168
0:00 Intro
0:35 Hadeeth: Prophet SAW once said when a hadeeth will reach some people, they will say we have Quran, and Quran is enough.
10:42 When Prophet SAW is present, it is obligatory to obey him. But today, when we research the authenticity of hadeeth, does it mean we aren’t ready to obey?.
13:11 Some people say that Prophet referred to his knowledge and sayings as sunnat?
14:10 Hadeeth: Prophet SAW judged a case of fornication by Quran, but the punishment is different than what is in the Quran.
16:37 Punishment of Qabr/Grave ahadeeth. It is not present in the Quran?
19:25 Another case where Prophet SAW gave a ruling, but that topic is not in the Quran?.
23:33 Signs of the day of Judgement. Its not in the Quran, but there are a lot of ahadeeth.
24:38 An instruction by Prophet SAW about buying/selling, that is not based on Quran.?
