"You're next step in proving your claim is that you will need to provide evidence that the Qur'an is the only revelation that the Messenger (saw) received specifically as the verse here is general not specific by virtue of the language, in terms of the revelation encompassing everything that was revealed to the Prophet (saw). The بما in the ayah makes it clear in the language that who the الذين is referring to must, unequivocally accept all of أنزل إليك."
With the guidance of the Quran we can quickly establish that Muhammad did not receive ANY revelation from God other than the Quran. Yes the prophet was inspired by God in certain personal matter, an example of that is found in 66:3 where God inspired the prophet regarding the truth of a domestic issue. However, this was mere inspiration from God and not revelation. The difference between inspiration and revelation is that God inspires all humans (note how God inspired the mother of Moses). God also inspires the animals (example of that is in 16:68 where God tells us how He inspires the bees). This is different from revelation which is specificaly an inspired scripture which contains religious laws and prohibitions
Note here that the hadith followers uphold the hadith and sunna as the second source of Islamic law besides the Quran, and by doing so they elevate the hadith to the status of revelation.
We are told in the Quran that the prophet did not receive any revelation from God other than the Quran:
"Say (Muhammad): What thing is "Akbar Shahada" (greatest testimony)? Say: God is a Witness between me and you; this QURAN has been revealed to me by inspiration that with it I may warn you and all whom it reaches (BALAGHA)" 6:19
This testimony which God describes as "Akbar Shahada" (the Greatest Testimony) commands Muhammad to testify that He received the Quran from God. This testimony speaks of only one revelation received by Muhammad from God which is the Quran. If Muhammad truly received other revelations from God (other than the Quran), would we not find any mention of it in the Quran? Would God hide the fact that He gave Muhammad a revelation independant of the Quran and then command us to obey it?
I knew it would come to this. It wasn't a question of if, but of when. It's ok though, every single hadeeth-rejector we've had on this forum has eventually come to stop where you have now.
You have:
1) Agreed in your last post that the Prophet (saw) did receive revelation other than the Qur'an
2) Then you have the audacity of being academically dishonest in this discussion and stealing words, in fact entire paragraphs, from another website and posting them here as your own, thereby losing whatever little credibility you had left in this discussion.
Not only that, you shot yourself in the foot by first conceding your original premise in your last post to me, and then when called out about it, you steal material from another website (which is what we call plagiarism) and use it as your own, even though you know (as does everyone else reading this thread) that what you have copied and pasted here only shows your two-facedness. The irony is that you should copied and pasted something that would have replied to my question to you instead of something that goes back to try and fix a premise you've already admitted is flawed!
Now, instead of being honest in this discussion and progressing with it as you should have done you have:
1) Stolen material from another site and presented it as your own, adding nothing to the discussion. This alone is a reason enough to tell us that you have no regard or sincerity towards seeking the truth in this discussion, but you just want to make yourself feel better by trying and proving that you're correct.
2) Avoided the follow up question that I presented to you and instead replied to something that was not being asked. This shows clearly that you have no idea how to read and understand the Qur'an in Arabic, nor do you have any idea of how Arabic grammar works, nor do you know that the Qur'an is linguistically one cohesive argument as can be inferred simply by the language. What you are doing is taking part of the book, twisting it to suit what you want it to say, and then ignoring the rest of the Book. I don't need to call you out on this because Allaah himself calls out the people that do this in the Qur'an:
أفتؤمنون ببعض الكتاب وتكفرون ببعض؟
This leads me to the following conclusions:
1) That you are not honest in a discussion nor are you sincerely seeking the truth.
2) That you cannot articulate your own argument and position and must rely on other websites for your replies indicating that you have no idea what you're talking about.
3) That you have absolutely no idea about Qur'anic Arabic and grammar and this itself is enough of a reason to dismiss your arguments as baseless and void.
Have a good day!
