If I felt that the Hadith truly and accurately reflected the words of Allah's messenger I would follow it just as I follow the Qu'ran.
I haven't disrespected Allah's messenger in any way, I'm sorry that you can't tolerate other schools of thought. We might be the minority of Muslims but Quarnism is a very real sect of Islam.
Maybe you shouldn't act like you are empowered to determine what constitutes disrespect and what does not.
We're never going to be united as an ummah if we keep chasing away people because of minor differences :hmm:
Its got nothing to do with tolerance, the fact you are questioning the fundamental beliefs whilst being a Muslim is shocking to me. You cannot say its idolatry to imitate our Nabi peace be upon him, That's showing disrespect to our Nabi peace be upon him and i take it to heart.
Maybe you should take a reality check. Minor differences? Were talking about the bare fundamentals of the deen here. To reject Hadith is bad enough but to claim is idolatry to follow and imitate Allah's Messenger, peace and blessing be upon him is bordering on blasphemous.
My view of this obsession with imitating Allah's messenger as idolatrous is mine and mine alone, it has nothing to do with any of you. I'm not forcing or even asking any of you to accept my view as fact, think for yourselves. Blasphemy is wilfully slandering and disrespecting Allah's messenger which I have definitely not done. Choosing not to follow the Hadith does not in any way make me less faithful to Allah and his messenger than you are.
don't talk to me like some outsider because I choose not to follow your fundamentalism.

http://www.islamicboard.com/comparative-religion/134312592-discussion-orangeduck-4.html#post1513029There are a number of Muslims including myself who believe in the historical crucifixion of يَسُوعَ ... The Qu'ran itself never explicitly says that يَسُوعَ was not physically crucified.
The entire purpose of crucifixion was to humiliate the crucified and terrify their followers or those who thought of following them. The Qu'ran refers to the Jew's failed plot to eradicate the spirit and word of Allah.
[2:155] And say not of those who are killed in the cause of Allah that they are dead; nay, they are living; only you perceive not.
but it appeared so unto them
يَسُوعَ did not die from the crucifixion
It takes several days of agony and torment for people to die, while يَسُوعَ willingly chose to ascend to heaven after just 6 hours.

No, totally wrong.The Quran wasn't revealed to let you attain full knowledge of Allah. To say so is almost borderline shirk akhi.
There is no part in the shahada about recognizing the authenticity and authority of the hadiths.
All I'm saying is that you should read some hadiths and give it a chance, just like you did with the Quran.
When you accept Muhammad :saws: as the messenger of Allah (which is part of the shahadah, and one of the conditions of the shahadah is acceptance), that means accepting him wholeheartedly, his sayings too.
I'm really skeptical of the Hadith, but you're right I was also very skeptical of the Qu'ran at one point in time.
Can you recommend any Hadith that you feel are essential to the Islamic faith? Either Shia or Sunni. I'll give it an honest try and see where it goes.
