TROJAN HORSE- HADITH AND SHARIA LAW

Muslims, in spite of being second in the demographic division of the world, are still the poorest and most uneducated and unemployed group. Why is the participation of the Muslim community in academic and professional fields, cultural arenas, creative fields and corporate world is abysmally low? Despite tremendous growth in the number of Muslims and Muslim flags, the muslim ummah is still at the pity of the western world. Government of muslim countries are indulged in ubiquitous corruption and killings of its own people and the common muslims often keep themselves indulge in inter-sect hatred and fights. In my view, the problem has one of its roots in hadeeths and hadith-driven Sharia Law.

The apocryphal hadith stories which governs islamic law and thought are mostly hearsays.Read this. 

On a whole, what hadeeths and hadith-based Sharia Law do is :

1. Degrades the status of woman in society, family and as an individual. Projects women as a puppet in the hands of fathers, brothers or husbands, overall a slave in disguise.

2.Promotes violence and violates human rights in many cases like killing apostates, infidels, beating  woman, stoning to death to adulterers, chopping off hands of the thieves.

3. Encourages fatalism-For example, there are Hadith that would have us believe that everything in our lives is predestined and we have no control over our decisions. The inference then is that God has chosen to deliberately lead people astray and then punish them for it, something that is unthinkable for any rational person.

4. Encourages superstition and corrupt religious practices.

5. Discourages creativity and innovation.(like do not draw sketches of creatures).Even discourages sports and recreational activities.

6. Promotes religious ilm but disregards worldly-knowledge .To put it in a nutshell, hadith culture creates a regressive environment.

7. Divides the whole world into- muslims and non-muslims i.e believers and kaafirs. Teaches us to take pride in being born a muslim and treat the kaafir as someone alien or hostile.

8.Demonise Prophet Muhammad, portray him as a man who slaughtered captives, robbed caravans, sold women and children into slavery, had sexual relations with captive women, tortured prisoners, married a nine-year-old, mandated war against non-Muslims, and who had some of his critics and rivals assassinated. Is it not Outrageous? Are we going to believe such slanders just because they are sacred hadiths.You can read some of the calumnious hadiths here. It’s just the tip of the iceberg On the contrary, Quran describes the prophet as someone of highest moral character.

68:4. And most surely you conform [yourself] to sublime morality.

33:21 Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day and remembers Allah much.

9. .The conflation of true islam with sharia laws has become so widespread and widely publicised that it not only keeps the non-muslims away from islam but also make many muslims switch to different faiths.

10.Needless to mention,if a faith is represented by such doctrines,it not only repels non-muslim away from islam but also seriously confuses newly converts to islam. , it’s no surprise that any person in his right senses will get offended by a faith being represented by such fictitious stories some of which you would find absolute bizarre. Many Hadith do in fact contradict the Quran, defy all reason or logic, or scientific truths or ethics.

11. It’s a truism that the hadiths which mostly potray islam as intolerant, patriarchal and misogynist religion; give  the anti-islamic people or groups the best opportunity  to malign the divine religion.

Historical records that the writings of the Rabbinic literature -the Talmud,did overshadow the Torah, which was revealed to the earlier Prophet Moses. The writings of Paul - the Epistles, did overshadow the Injeel 18 that was revealed to Prophet Isa. Similarly, today the Hadith literature has sadly overshadowed the Quran, something Prophet Mohammad always feared. Hadith is venerated and is upheld as the second source of jurisdication (often  first) by hidebound muslims.Fabricated hadith and Sharia Law are the major cause of downfall of muslim  community on,social, economical and educational grounds.
