Following the Qur’an is Following the Prophet.

The Qur’an is a book the verses of which are communicated to us by the Last Prophet of Islam, Muhammad Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam and not by anybody else. To believe it to be the book of Allah is BELIEVING IN THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET and then following what is written in the Qur’an is following the Prophet. Allah didnot direct us directly but his orders came through Rasulullah , therefore following Qur’an is following the Prophet and thus it is following Allah. Believing in the Qur’an and taking hidayat only from it represents one’s firm belief in the words & instructions of the Prophet. As far as hidayat is concerned i.e as far as the ways to save ourselves from the fire of the Hell is concerned, as far as the Qur’an is concerned , it is a complete and a clear Book with all examples and no other things can make it easier to understand or make it more clear.

 The Prophet PBUH made it to be written during his lifetime and left it for us and Allah has made it secured. Prophet did not take the responsibility of the Books of Hadiths to be written down in his lifetime and neither left any instruction in the Qur’an to get it done later. Even Allah did not take the responsibility of the security of the Books of Hadiths.

 The following verses and many other from the Qur’an prove that Rasulullah did not explain Qur’an but warned people by repeating its verses and did not innovate anything in the name of his Sunnah but rather followed the Book and was asked by Allah to follow His instructions as in the Book strictly.These are the certified & secured Statements of Allah. I could have cited many more verses but that would lengthen this article.

“ A Messenger, who repeats to you the verses of Allah containing clear explanations that may lead forth those who believe and do righteous deeds from the depths of darkness into light…..” 65: 11.

“ And Indeed We made the Qur’an easy to understand and Remember in mind: Then is there any that will receive admonition” 54:40. “ But those who believe and work deeds of righteousness ,and believe in the revelation sent down to Muhammad- for it is the truth from their Lord-……” 47:2.

 “ Say “I am not an innovation among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I follow but that which is revealed to me by inspiration, I am but a warner open and clear. 46:9.

“Say: Obey Allah , obey the Messenger, but if you turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him, and ye for that placed on you. If you obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. THE MESSENGERS DUTY IS ONLY TO PREACH THE Clear message” 24:54.

 “ It is a Qur’an in Arabic without any crookedness therein in order that they may guard against Evil, Allah puts a Parable—A man believing to many partners at variance with each other and a man believing to one master: are those equal in comparison ? Praise be to Allah but most of them have no knowledge.” 39: 28 & 29.

“ O Prophet ! fear Allah, and hearken not to the unbelievers and the hypocrites verily Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom BUT FOLLOW THAT WHICH COMES THEE BY INSPIRATION FROM THY LORD , …….” 33:1 & 2.

“ And We have explained to man , in this Qur’an EVERY KIND OF EXAMPLES yet greater part of men refuse except with ingratitude” 17 : 89.

“ We have sent down it down as an Arabic Qur’an in order that ye may LEARN WISDOM ” 12:2.

“ These are the verses of the Book that makes things clear, it may be thou will kill thyself with grief, that they do not become believers” 26: 2 & 3.

 “ But there comes not to them a newly revealed message …” 26:5.
