The concept of freedom of opinion as applied by the Prophet is mentioned in various verses of the Quran revealed in both Mekah and Medina. The total freedom of opinion and speech is a principle that was guaranteed by Islam since the beginning of the revelation.

Today, I want to talk about these three news items from The Star. I admit I have already elaborated on these issues in great detail in the past. For all intents and purposes, I am merely repeating myself. But it appears they are still harping on these issues so I have no choice but to continue flogging what I view as a dead horse.

Our Comment:
1. In the first article above, we would like to draw the people’s attention to the confusing nature of the author about Islam, as he has done so many times before. In this article he is portraying Islam from his confused perception and perspective of Islam. To make it worst, he has quoted Ahmad Mansour who is a Quranist. This shows that the author does not care from where he takes his sources as long as it fits into his line of argument.
2. Does the author really know who is Ahmed Mansour? Read about him here. The author tells us that he is well-versed in the ‘Aqidah’ of Islam but in fact he falls short of that. To give just one simple example, if he can quote Ahmad Mansour who rejects the ‘Sunnah of Rasulullah s.a.w.’, then this affects the ‘Aqidah’. Islam says whoever does not accept the authentic ‘Sunnah of Rasulullah s.a.w.’ knowingly and willingly, then this person is no longer a Muslim. Read here to safeguard our ‘Aqidah’.
3. Does the author know that the Holy Quran is the ‘words of Allah s.w.t.’? We know and believe that Allah s.w.t. was alone before anything was created in all existence. Simple logic will tell us that the Holy Quran must be with Allah s.w.t. even before anything was created in all existence.
4. With just the above arguments, we do not have to dwell with the other points raised in the first article. With just this one point alone, we are able to discredit the author and also his source of reference. Even more so, the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah does not accept the Quranists. The Malaysia Waves website is all mum about this.
5. In his second article, he still wants to confuse people by arguing that it is alright to accept the Quranists by spinning the truth. He quotes a number of ‘Hadith’ to prove his point. He does not know or pretend not to know that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. forbade the writing of his Sunnah so that it would not be confused with the Holy Quran. The Prophet s.a.w. did not forbid to accept and follow his Sunnah. So, we are asking the author, are you a Quranist? Are you the supporter of the Quranists? Do you have anti-Hadith friends who influence you to write such confusing articles? Or do you like to create confusion with the notion of drawing attention to your writings? Or is it just plain ignorance about Islam? Or worst still, are you trying to show off? Do not use Islam for your own selfish needs. The author is only good in conventional politics and should stick and limit himself to it.
6. Well, if only just one yes answer to the above questions that would make this author really look bad. So, we recommend the Government to closely monitor the author’s writings, or anyone for that matter, about Islam and if they confuse the people again, charge them in the Syariah Court until kingdom come. In this way, we are able to avoid many confusions about Islam perpetrated by this kind of authors. Warning !!! Do not use ISA on these authors. We are against ISA to the bones because it is unIslamic.
Best Regards.........

The need of creating some kind of theoretical justification for what so far had been an instinctive reliance on the opinions of the majority, led, from the first decades of the second/eighth century onwards, to the living tradition being retrojected, and to its being ascribed to some of the great hgures of the past. This process, too, began in Kufa, where the stage of doctrine achieved in the time of Hammad b. Abi Sulayman (d. I20/738) was attributed to Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (d. 95-6/7I3-I5). The Medinese followed suit and retrojected their own teaching to a number of ancient authorities who had died about the turn of the century, some of whom later became known as the 'seven jurists of Medina'. At the same time as the doctrine of the school of Kufa was retrospectively attributed to Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, a similar body of doctrine was directly connected with the very beginnings of Islam in Kufa by being attributed to Ibn Mas'ud, a Companion of the Prophet who had come to live in that city, and Ibrahim al-Nakha'i became the main transmitter of that body of doctrine, too. In the same way, other Companions of the Prophet became the eponyms of the schools of Medina and of Mecca. One further step in the search for a solid theoretical foundation of the doctrine of the ancient schools was taken in 'Iraq, very early in the second/eighth century, when the term ' Sunna of the Prophet ' was transferred from its political and theological into a legal context, and identified with the sunna, the ideal practice of the local community and the corresponding doctrine of its scholars. This term, which was taken over by the school of Syria, expressed the axiom that the practice of the Muslims derived from the practice of the Prophet, but it did not as yet imply the existence of positive information in the form of ' Traditions ' (Hadith), that the Prophet by his words or acts had in fact originated or approved any particular practice. It was not long before these Traditions, too, came into existence, and the persons who put them into circulation were the Traditionists

The above link brings us to the writings of an orientalist. Orientalists are never impartial in their writings about Islam.
So, we advise the public to be very wary about Orientalists' writings about Islam.........
