COMMON QUESTIONS FROM QURAN ALONE FOLLOWERS.
//Is this phrase Eid ul Adha used in Quran? If yes please let me know the ayah reference no//
//If it's not from the Quran, what's the source of this Islamic philosophy brother?//
NO OFFENCE INTENDED -
I find this discourse of distinguishing between Quranic and non Quranic topic very insubstantial because first of all we don't have any idea what is the real essence of the word Quran. This argument is based on the belief that the book Quran is divine and all other books are created by man. Secondly when someone ask for references to validate their belief of particular statement or phrase from the book Quran that means we are placing an archaic book on a higher pedestal than our divine intellect. We must question logic behind the phrase rather than asking a question to curb or eliminate that phrase if not found in the book Quran. This is why we fail because we underestimate our own divine natural intellect in lieu of artificial man-made books. Validation or stamp of approval must always come from our own common sense (mohammad). The essence is more important than the meanings; in seeking exact meanings we lose the crux or overall essence of the word.
There is no harm in referring or taking opinions and advices from available sources but we must never kill or underestimated our own divine common sense while dealing with ambiguous literatures such as the 114 chapter book Quran. I am telling the book Quran as ambiguous because very vast majority among us don't understand its nuance. We are just content in knowing that the book Quran unarguably is the best book from God and there is no room to doubt it.
Popular blind belief is dangerous for an enlightened mind, good for stagnant mind. Popular beliefs leaves no room to question and when anything becomes unquestionable then the suppressed question remains alive in mind by continuously evoking the potential answers. No sane person will dare to answer the untouchable questions because religion is formed by powers of fools in large numbers. To question any popular belief is dangerous, so we are conditioned not to question or raise doubts to popular concepts or beliefs.
God the Energy never write, dictate or print books. The ways of God is fixed and is same for everyone; it cannot be changed to suit circumstances or situations. Every cause has an effect; this is the fixed way (sunnah) of God, not the religious deity.
The source of all knowledge or books is inspirations or experiences of man and it is universal like mathematics. Man, God, Devil is not separate or different entities but is different dimension within Man. Some books are excellent; some books are good, some average and some poor.
I place book Quran in excellent category only because I have gauged it with my own intellect and not because it is popularly known to be divine or followed by my esteem predecessors. We must know that the book Quran is the concise version in Old Arabic language of Jewish Christian Philosophy. The Islam we follow today is an extension of Jewish Christian sect called Ebonite.
The touchstone or the gauge to measure the genuinity of any literature must always be in coherence with the real intelligence and it must never based on conjecture of the majority. I gauge all Islamic literature with the book Quran because I know and understand its calibration. When we thoroughly understand the calibration, we must not be afraid, feel insecure or feel disdain to assess any literature, even if it is contrary to our belief. The subject of Islam is very vast therefore we must be open to take into consideration anything which helps us in improving our knowledge of Islam provided we are well versed with our Quran; the measuring instrument of All Islamic Literature.
The attitude of not believing or considering anything apart from the 114 chapter book is utterly wrong. For me the book Quran is Furqan (Criterion) to judge wrong and right paths that lead towards peace or surrendering to the will of God. How or what I will judge if I have a preconceive notion that everything is wrong or bad apart from the book Quran. And the severe setback is that we even don't have a complete understanding of the book Quran and we bend on to study it without outside help or assistance. This is a very big dilemma which many learned "Quran alone Muslims" are facing.
If Eidul Adha, Eidul Fitr as a catchphrase is not mentioned in the book Quran that does not mean that they have no significance in Islamic Philosophy or ritual. You accept or reject it but no one can deny its mass practice amongst the Muslim masses since ages, although they don't knowing its real significance.
The word Eid and its derivatives are found in the book Quran - عُدْنَا - تَعُودُوا- يَعُودُونَ - - أُعِيدُوا - نُعِيدُهُ - يُعِيدُ - عِيدًا - similarly the words adha, fitr, ramadan, hajj etc also found in the book Quran in different forms. If we really yearn to decode Islam we need to consider contemplating on these words or connect all dots which are deeply rooted in Islamic Philosophy. But again I will reiterate first we must thoroughly know the book Quran because it is the only valid measuring instrument to gauge all the Islamic Philosophy.
There are many things which "Muslims or specifically Quran alone Muslims" believe today that have no references from the book Quran but still they believe because it is a part of their continuous happenings around them or those enactments are part of that continuous thought process. All "Islamic rituals" are part of Islamic literature because we find its precedence in the followers of Islam. These rituals are actually non Quranic in nature but are part of Islamic culture or tradition.
When we trust or have faith in something, believers usually don't demand proof of its existence or happenings, because it is in their common practice and knowledge. Nevertheless we must demand logical proofs of everything, we cannot just believe in anything without logical reasoning or by self experiencing or witnessing. In Islamic Philosophy it is called shahadah or kalimah tayabah - 35:10 base of Islamic Philosophy. The words of God are Kalima tayabah, these words are signs which are not confined in books, languages or words but revealed upon deserving candidates.
We believe that "Quran is the revealed book of God to Mohammad through Angel Gabriel," we believe in this statement without any basis or reference, neither have we demand any proof because we have faith in what the book claims. We believe because it is the part of our faith, we don't need any references. References are only for validation of our belief. References do not require any reasoning because we believe that the source is directly from God and we must accept it without questioning.
The topmost reference point or validation must be from our own faculty to analyse, deduct logically purely based on merit and not from because it is written in some books or quoted by some eminent personalities. The main source of knowledge must come from our own investigation and study. For this to happen we must cultivate our commonsense to think, reflect, ponder, contemplate ... Always keep your mohammad alive we want to receive the revelation.
// If every truth seeker derived his own Quran (deduced from his embedded Al-kitab in Arabiyun mobin(mother tongue), then what is the status of 114 chapter book, why it is needed, and why you quote it's verses in your articles?
The 114 chapter book is in Old Arabic, thus not possible for very vast majority to infer it; even the Arabs don't understand it. Muslims too used it today just for liturgical purpose.It is in common knowledge that we get our day to day instructions or directions from our own conscious mind. We don't refer any book to do our routine work, common sense or embedded script is sufficient to guide us.
All religious mafia insist us to follow the God's Book, whereas in the entire book Quran it never commands us to follow or study or learn Arabic language of this 114 chapter book. But emphasis is given in the book Quran to use your intellect, ponder, think but never said to follow anything blindly.
