It is a fact that the hadith were recorded +-300 years after the death of Mohammed. The hadith have numerous contradictions. In the quran itself god makes the statement" If this (ie quran) is from other than god then you will find therein much discrepancy. By the same logic, hadith is not from God because it contains much discrepancy.
A simple test today would be to pass a message around the room between 10 people. You will in no way get the same message on the other side. Yet, why do people expect a bunch of nomad desert bound Arabs in AD 600 to pass messages across 300 years and countless generations and still produce a positive result. This is ludicrous & illogical in the extreme!
Quran does not acknowledge or sanction existence of hadith. Quran says it is complete and a perfect guide for mankind. In my opinion, hadith is no more than a history book, which is useful as such, but has no religous significance.
In quran god says follow Muhammad, I say show me what he said!

The Quran is the word of God while the Hadith is the word of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) but not all Hadith are authentic so you must be careful when you read and see if the Hadith is authentic.
"I have left you two things as guidance to you here and the hereafter of which you will never be led astray and that is the Quran and my book (hadith)".

Sunnis have lots of hadiths that are made up.
They have a hadith that says like Ali (alaih salam) said so and so, where in fact he didn't say such a thing because if he had then it would have contradicted all his hadithes that are given in Nahj Al-Balagha.
I partially agree with you because most of the hadiths of ahl al-sunnah are made up.
When the Prophet died, they (khalifas) burned all the books and papers that had quoted the Prophet!
No one was allowed to write anything for more than 20 years.
The khalifas even confiscated the house, Fadak, of Fatima (salam allah alaiha), the Prophet's daughter, after the Prophet died!

Yeah, I agree with you.
These hadiths are part of reasons why there are differences between Muslims. Besides that is the ego of ones who cannot accept different opinions in AlQuran interpretation.
Majority of Muslims translate the words, rather than the 'message'.
I mean, since AlQuran is the reference for way of life, the Firaun is merely example. Example not to follow his acts/boasts and characters.
The earlier Jews are just example. For those who knew the truth but lived in denial and refused to follow and led others to astray. It has nothing to do with the jews today. Thats all.
We see that alot of the same above happen in our society today. Have we not take the message? Or we just regard the Quran as a history book.

It is through hadith that we have answers to lots of questions about life after death, Heaven, Hell, Day of Judgment, how to perform prayer correctly, wudu etc etc. It is very important, however, to read and follow hadiths that are authentic and trustworthy, because there is a number of inaccurate hadiths, which people have fabricated, and a few are considered extremely weak. And after finding an authentic hadith it is important to follow it accordingly, because Allah(swt) says in the Quran,
"And OBEY Allah and the messenger, that ye may find mercy" (Quran 3:132)
"And whatsoever the Messenger allows you to do, do it. And whatsoever he forbids, abstain (from it.)" (Quran 59:7)
this is why we have da scholars who hve the ability to judge a weak from a strong hadith.

I completely consider you. There are too many people who quote verses from the Quran in isolation and use their extremist concepts to portray what they opt for to. instead of finding on the whole of surah, or the verses merely previously and after it. hadith is so generally and particularly quoted that individuals have rather forgotten what's rather real and fabricated. that's the sorry state of muslims as we've on the instant. muslims quote hadith written by way of specific human beings which may well be completely disgusting to study or perhaps think of in such away, yet nonetheless they carry the author in extreme regards on different hadith. they might not try this if this replaced right into a effortless guy. Alot of that's merely blind faith. i'm suffering to maintain faith with hadith too. besides the actuality that i would not rule them out thoroughly as you recommend. it rather is merely as much as us as persons to %. the real ones with a sturdy chain of narrators. For it rather is the narrators who've construed the meanings
