Hadith As Divine Revelation (Wahi) Dilemma
The Quran repeatedly declares that those who rule by anything other than God's revelation are disbelievers (5:44), unjust (5:45), and wicked (5:47) and that He sent the scripture to judge among the people (2:213 & 4:105). This presented a fundamental problem for proto-Sunni scholars, whose religious rulings and theology relied heavily on the utilization of … Continue reading Hadith As Divine Revelation (Wahi) Dilemma
