Is it possible that the explanation is more difficult than what is being explained?

Question

The Bukhari Alone never get tired of telling us that Ahadith explains the Quran but only scholars with 11 doctorates can understand the Ahadith. Then by definition since Quran seems to be the easier of the two, it would be logical that it is the Quran that explains and verify Ahadith.

This would make more sense, the total number of Ahadith are less than half of the Quran. Furthermore in Ahadith 28 Surah's explanations are completely missing.

Answer 1

60 + volumes of ahadith, and numerous books written by scholars,but still no unified way of Salat,which explains how many rakahs, in each salat and what to recite,and the actions ,strange hadith books narrate that qunoot was recited at fajr, but now it has creeped into witr , how when why !!



if hadith contradicts Quran then Quran should be followed right ? then why dogs are called najis !!

Answer 2

This "logic" collapses upon examination. First of all, the Hadith are far more voluminous than the quran, if you count Tabari, Ibm Ishaq, Muslim, etc.



Second, there is much in the quran that simply has no explanation except in the Hadith. The Quran says to observe ramadan. Nothing about how. The Quran says to follow Muhammad's example, but then doesn't tell much about the example Muhammad sets. The Quran speaks of ablutions, but doesn't say how they are done. These and many other things are taken for granted by the Quran, because they were within the frame of reference to those that Muhammad was dictating to, and he felt there was no need to tell them how to do things they had been doing long before he came along. Since 99.9% of the rest of the world are not 7th century polytheistic Arabs, that leave the rest of us guessing.



Since there is not logical order tot he Quran or a narrative thread, there is no way of relating the surah to events in Muhammad's life without the Tabari and Ibn Ishaq Hadith.



Unfortunately, when you add those, and read the Quran in context, it comes across as rather petty and ppedantic with situational scripture being "revealed" whenever Muhammad finds himself in a jam, and needs Allah to bail him out. Has anyone noticed that Allah never once said "No" to muhammad? Gee why do you think that is?



The Hadith explain the quran. The quran cannot stand on it's own, and barely stands ont he strength of the hadith.

Answer 3

How come 28 Surah's explanations are completely missing...?

Do NOT you know that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was a walking Quran..?

Do NOT you know that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) explained Quran through his practice..?











May Allah lead us to the righteous path :)

Answer 4

Makes me wonder; who was the Quran written for; ordinary folks or only people with doctorates?

Are we sure that Mohammad was illiterate?

Answer 5

to always explain difficult concepts simply not that easy but maybe it could be a possibility?

Answer 6

I've experienced to the contrary.. I suggest referring to more contemporary translations.

Answer 7

the quran says that it is the most perfect, most concise, most perfect book ever writtened so why do you need someone to say what it means?

Answer 8

Dude your profile picture just made me see purple spots...how did you do that ...and I crave a BLT on rye....what's going on...how did you do that? send me some brochures

Answer 9

yes, it would. ur logic is correct
