Muslims Must Follow ONLY Allah & Muhammad’s Laws By:... Ofer binshtok The Quran and Sunnah are clear: - No law but Allah’s. - No judge but Muhammad. - Any other system = disbelief. Here are the strongest proofs (Direct commands to believers): QURANIC VERSES 1. An-Nisa 4:65 "But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission." (No faith without total, willing submission to Muhammad’s rulings.) 2. An-Nisa 4:80 "Whoever obeys the Messenger has truly obeyed Allah. But whoever turns away, then We have not sent you [O Prophet] as a keeper over them." (Obeying Muhammad = Obeying Allah. Direct equivalence.) 3. An-Nisa 4:59 "O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. If you differ in anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger." (All disputes go to Quran & Sunnah only.) 4. Al-Hashr 59:7 "Whatever the Messenger gives you take it. Whatever he forbids you refrain from it." (Sunnah = binding law.) 5. Al-Imran 3:32 "Say: Obey Allah and the Messenger. But if they turn away Allah does not love the disbelievers." (Disobedience = disbelief.) 6. Al-Hujurat 49:15 "The true believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger never doubting and strive with their wealth and their lives in the cause of Allah. It is they who are the truthful." (True faith = zero doubt in Allah & Muhammad.) 7. An-Nur 24:54 "Say: Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. If you turn away he is only responsible for his duty, and you for yours." 8. Al-Anfal 8:20 "O you who believe! Obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not turn away from him while you hear." 9. Al-Anfal 8:46 "Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another, or you would be discouraged and weakened." (Dispute = failure; obedience = strength.) 10. Muhammad 47:33 "O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger, and do not let your deeds be in vain." 11. At-Taghabun 64:12 "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger! But if you turn away, then Our Messenger’s duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly." AUTHENTIC HADITHS 1. Bukhari 7137: "Whoever obeys me has obeyed Allah, and whoever disobeys me has disobeyed Allah." 2. Hadith al-Thaqalayn (Muslim 2408a, Tirmidhi 3788): “I am leaving among you two weighty things: the Book of Allah... and my Ahl al-Bayt (family). If you hold fast to them, you will never go astray.” 3. Abu Dawud 4607: "Hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Cling to it with your molar teeth." 4. Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2676: "He said: 'I order you to have Taqwa of Allah, and to listen and obey, even in the case of an Ethiopian slave. Indeed, whomever among you lives, he will see much difference. Beware of the newly invented matters, for indeed they are astray. Whoever among you sees that, then he must stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Khulafa', cling to it with the molars.'" SCHOLARLY CONSENSUS Ibn Kathir, Tabari, Maududi: "Rejecting Allah’s law = kufr. Applies to all Muslims no man-made systems." Quran 3:85 "And whoever seeks other than Islam deenan (Islamic way of life), it will not be accepted from him, and he in the Hereafter will be among the losers."show more
