And the sunnah which isnt even the word of god but the word of some men who supposedly lived around the time of muhammed but a lot of these muslims agree are fake because by the 9th century they had mushroomed into hundreds and thousands of them so then a bunch of other scholars use their own opinion about which to follow and which not to follow.
All i can say is gods communication skills with humanity arent that good, especially if youre a muslim and happen to believe this stuff.
In fact on the website im looking at now a muslim asks the following questions
1. Did Muhammad bring one or two books?
2. Why did the hadith take 250-350 years to be compiled and why do Sunnis have different collections from Shi'ites?
3. What factors led to the emergence of the hadith?
4. What is the connection between the hadith and the decline and backwardness of Islam?34
i mean according to what ive been looking into recently there isnt even historical evidence muhammed existed, outside of the hadith and quran so i wouldnt even bother to ask these questions.
The reason why it was revealed to an illiterate man is to show the miracle of the Qur'an. How could an illiterate man recite a book that no one has been able to match to this day?
"And the sunnah which isnt even the word of god but the word of some men who supposedly lived around the time of muhammed"
The Arabic word Sunnah has come to denote the way Prophet Muhammad (S), the Messenger of Allah, lived his life. The Sunnah is the second source of Islamic jurisprudence, the first being the Qur’an. Both sources are indispensable; one cannot practice Islam without consulting both of them.
The Arabic word hadith (pl. ahadith) is very similar to Sunnah, but not identical. A hadith is a narration about the life of the Prophet (S) or what he approved - as opposed to his life itself, which is the Sunnah as already mentioned.
Many hadith are weak or false which is why only Sahih or authentic hadiths should be trusted.
If are interested in hadith, research the science of hadith which is very complex and interesting subject.
