Yes well I agree, my knowledge in my field isn’t something I came up with, but it does allow me to point towards that knowledge so others may learn.

Yep, not everyone is an armchair whatever. Some of us have specific knowledge in certain areas (through hard work) and like to counter misinformation.

Still get called armchair so and so’s though…

you too friend, have a good one!

I agree with everything you’ve said, either the teachings of the prophet are the word of god or they aren’t, I have never quite understood the acceptance of revelations by non prophets or teachings that were created long after the prophets death, doesn’t matter which prophet we’re talking about.

but again I’m just speaking of my own thoughts on the matter. people can, obviously, believe what they like.

yeah I hear you, for my part quranists are an interesting one as so much of the actual practices require some observance of the hadiths, such as explaining how to pray and perform Hajj. although from a logical point of view I do sympathise with the want to stay as close to the teaching of the prophet as they can. as to the historical side of what happened 1400 years ago, well it’s all a wash to me, we’ll never know.

understood, all the hadiths were created after Muhammad lived and all were passed through some number of people. even the quran wasn’t actually compiled in to a single book until after his death and relied on a lot of memorised spoken word. its all sketchy but when people cherry pick which they like and which they don’t, it can become foolish really, imho. it’s either all the “word of god” or none of it is (thats my logic obviously, I don’t expect everyone to agree). what I quoted is from a hadith that is very widely accepted. and if that isn’t enough then I don’t know how you can accept any hadith based on the same criteria. if you don’t follow the surrah then many (most) would consider you kafir.

not it isn’t islamaphobic,

Sunan an-Nasa’i 3379

narrated in her own words:

“The Messenger of Allah married me when I was six, and consummated the marriage with me when I was nine.”

Sunan an-Nasa’i is a collection of hadith compiled by Imam Ahmad an-Nasa’i (rahimahullah). His collection is unanimously considered to be one of the six canonical collections of hadith (Kutub as-Sittah) of the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ)

if you don’t believe it then you aren’t momin (a true believer) the quran gives the what, the hadiths give the how, you can pick and choose but most wouldn’t consider you a true Muslim.

17 years ago, wow

well said, and as someone from Chatham (the word didn’t originated there but was adopted by, and connected with the people of that city, as well as others) this absolutely was used as a descriptor of a particular type of person/s. just like redneck and bogan it was just a societal descriptor of a demographic phenomenon. whether it was chav or some other word it doesn’t matter, the same connotations would have been applied.

ha, a wise move indeed in these trying times. anyway, good luck to you friend!

kids man, they don’t understand the word privacy. as we speak my 11 has just interrupted my bath to take a piss lol.
