Sister,

First of all, I find it very deceptive that you would go to a website, and copy (in entirety!) the contents and paste it here and then present it forth as your argument. To me this indicates that either I) you are unaware of how a discussion between two individuals takes place or II) that you actually have no intention to learn or engage in a dialogue and are satisfied with what you follow regardless of whether it is true or not.

Secondly, this action of yours proves to me, after debating with a number of hadeeth rejectors in the past, that beyond a shadow of a doubt, the mentality behind hadeeth rejection is the same. An individual comes across a hadeeth that he doesn't understand or doesn't make sense to him, and besides taking the common sense approach of asking the specialists in the field (as he would do in any other subject!!), he decides to just reject based on his own lack of understanding. He then proceeds online, finds a few other people that have gotten caught in the same fitnah and they strengthen each others doubts whilst never occuring to one of them that the problem might just not be in the hadeeth, but the incorrect way they approach it. You find that at the end of the day, not a single one of them have even the most basic understanding of Uloom al Hadeeth, which in and of itself speaks volumes about their sad state. It is like a layman giving medical advice without any formal education in medicine, he is misled and is misleading others. May Allaah protect the Ummah.

Because of the aforementioned reasons, I will not bother myself with responding to your cut and paste article. I'll respond to the other points a little later Insha'Allaah. However, i want to ask you one question (in addition to my last which I still await the proper answer to):

• Explain to me how Allaah has protected the Qur'an. Is there a book kept locked in a fortress somewhere? How was the Qur'an preserved?

Please do not bypass and ignore my questions.
