Hadith are applicable until the end of time Ibnu Sahih Sep 22, 05 7:14pm


Darwinist Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad is sinking further and further into his own abyss. He is now contending that some hadith are no longer relevant for today's world. I believe that Syed Alwi is still a practising Muslim. When I say that he is still a practising Muslim, I mean that he still prays five times day and fasts during the month of Ramadzan. Syed Alwi, as a Muslim, must accept that authentic hadith are applicable until the end of time. To say that an authentic hadith is only relevant for the Arabs according to their then their socio-economic conditions, depicts ignorance. Islamic rules and teachings are sent down through our Prophet (pbuh) for the whole human race. The Quraish tribe was simply a microcosm of the moral and socio-economic decay that had evolved over the centuries since the arrival and departure of the prophet before Muhammad (pbuh). Syed Alwi seems to be quite proud of the great progress of today's world. I wish to ask him some simple questions. After all these centuries, decades and years, does he think there are economic and social justice in this world, be it in Muslim or non-Muslim countries? At least in Muslim countries I can say that the absence of justice has nothing to do with Islam. But in non-Muslim countries, particularly the US, it is clearly the outcome of blind capitalism and secularism. Should we be proud of junk bonds and all kinds of 'IOUs' that pervade this so-called modern economy in which money is not merely a medium of exchange or payment but a tradeable commodity itself. Do you think there will be justice when an economic system is based on interest rates fixed by the Federal Reserve Board or central banks? Does he realise that through the Internet the women in non-Muslim countries suffer much more humiliation and exploitation . We know that Internet porn is a huge industry now. Syed Alwi must know that Islam teaches moderation. There is enough time to pursue wealth, sleep and also to face Allah to ask for his blessings and forgiveness for all injustices one might have committed against one’s fellow man.

1400 years ago the hadith was passed down to the muslim followers. This is the saying and teaching of the prophet at that time. One can't accept in totality the teachings and saying of a teacher. Time and event has changed and so are the methods. At one time it could be the norm but events have taken out its meaning. Likewise in martial art it has to change. The students will find new methods to incorporate the old system. In the end the students become a better martial artist. Of course the old teachers they do show their respect but the way of learning change. So likewise in the teaching of the prophet certain sections must be viewed differently in the context of today's global proliferation. One can't just follow blindly what had been done in 1400 years old. Even in the Bible scriptures have gone alterations to tune it to the present generation. Will it help to get to the Creator's grace? The foundation is routed in stone which couldnt be changed; it is the branch that could be trimmed to make it look better...
