⚘️It' Friday again. May Allah swt bless and give us goodness in this world and in the hereafter, and grant us Jannathul Firdous.🤲
Do you know that the Quran is a Guidance for mankind? (2:185).
If that is so, we need to comply and use it as a guide to live in this temporal world.
The traditional method of explanation is that Allah swt gave the Quran to the Prophet and for us to follow his way. And that the Injeel, Taura, Zaboor are for the earlier generations only. We follow the Prophet's way. Hence, we must accompany Islam with the sayings of Prophet Muhammad purportedly.
6:161 Say: "My Lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright system, the creed of Abraham the monotheist; he was not of the polytheists."
Earlier tafsir took this as the 'Qiyam' position in our daily cycle prayers. We start our prayer from the standing position of Prophet Ibrahim (a.s). Someone has made Islam as some kind of a ritual affair- symbolic.
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah swt is Islam [Aal 'Imraan 3:19].
The only way to stay on with that is to follow Quran only.
For example, we backbite. And we ask God to forgive us and promise God that we will not repeat it.
According to Quran in 5:89, for binding oath (sumpah, உறுதிமொழி) the atonement is
"the feeding of ten poor from the average of what you feed your family, or that you clothe them, or that you free a slave; whoever cannot find such shall fast for three days"
Feed ten people and say to Allah swt to forgive your whatever sins. Get a clean record and attract peace from Allah swt. And you will live in peace and be happy.
The Criterion is the verse of Quran in subject. Read, understand and follow the Quran.
Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense." This is on the day of Judgement.
Do not fall into that category.
