Salaam ZKAB90,
I haven't had time to read the links you shared with me in their totality, but I was able to skim it. And, with what little time I was able to dedicate reading it, it appeared to me that that author was basing his premise (or the prophet having received a dual revelation) on arguments (and Quranic verses) often parroted by fellow traditionalist Muslims; arguments and verses which have already been addressed by respected forum members on this form as well as Joseph Islam in some of his articles.
For example, the author of those article hinges his believe of Muhammad having supposedly received dual revelation on the oft made claim of the Quran not detailing how to offer Salat. Yet, as has been shown by Joseph Islam in one of his article, the Salat is indeed alluded to in details in the Quran:
HOW CAN WE LEARN PRAYER IF WE DON'T HAVE HADITH TO TEACH US?
http://quransmessage.com/articles/prayer%20without%20hadith%20FM3.htmThe author of those article also hinges his premise on the Quran's usage of the word
wahi. Yet what that author fails to understand is that, with regards to
wahi, is NOT limited to prophetic inspiration/s. God's creation (including everyday humans) have the ability to receive 'wahi' from Him in various capacities:
The various heavens were inspired (awha) to perform a specific function (41:12)
The bees were inspired (awha) to build habitations in the mountains and trees (16:68)
The Earth will be inspired (awha) on The Day (99:5)
With respect to humans who were not messengers, the mother of Prophet Moses (pbuh) received 'awha' to put her baby into the river and not to fear (28:7).[1]
As evident from the above verses (in particular 2:87) all human beings (bashar) have the capacity to receive inspired suggestions from God in one form or another, such as: a thought in one’s heart or mind or an indication by which a particular truth / understanding can be manifested.
For more on the topic of wahi, please consider visiting the following links:
http://quransmessage.com/forum/index.php?topic=97.0http://quransmessage.com/articles/wahi%20FM3.htmhttp://quransmessage.com/articles/prophetic%20utterances%20FM3.htmFurthermore, it is worthwhile to ask:
1) Why would Allah send down a dual-revelation? Are we to say/suggest the Quran in-itself is incomplete or ambiguous and therefore needs the support of a secondary source? How can a book (the Quran) which is referred to as a “manifest light”(4:174) be shed more light on by other/another sources? To give you a better understanding of what I mean, consider the two following verse in which Allah instructs us to follow solely the Quran.:
"And this is a Book which We have revealed as a blessing: SO FOLLOW IT (Arabic: fa-ittabi'uhu) and fear (God) / be righteous so that you may receive mercy" [Quran 06:155]
If, as the other of those article claims, Allah had made it incumbent upon us to uphold and follow a second source then surely it would be appropriate for Allah to have given mention to it in this verse, would it not?
Consider the following verse, as well:
"Say: "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say: "God is witness between me and you: THIS QURAN HAS BEEN REVEALED TO ME BY INSPIRATION, that I may warn you and all whom it reaches"[Quran 6:19]
If, as the author claims, the prophet received a secondary revelation which was/is incumbent upon us to uphold and follow a second source (i.e. the Hadeeth) then surely it would be appropriate for Allah to have given mention to it in that verse, would it not?
Please bear in mind that continuously are we told (in the Quran) that the only revelation (or scripture) which Muhammad received was the revelation of the Quran (See: 7:203; 6:19; 5:48; 42:7) and it was that revelation (Quran) alone which he was responsible for upholding and following (See: 7:203; 6:155; 10:15; 33:2;46:9; 6:106; 6:50), responsible for admonishing and warning the people with (See: 6:19; 27:91-92; 5:45; 42:7; 38:65-70), and responsible for judging with it (See: 5:48-49; 4:105).
So, the claim that the Prophet was taught something else(or received something else) vital for mankind's guidance which was not included in the scripture is a violation of so many other verses (some of them cited above) which claim that the only revelation to the Prophet for mankind's guidance was the Quran which was complete for its intended purpose. Please consider reading the following article which goes into a bit more detail:
THE QURAN STANDS ALONE AS SOLE RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE
http://quransmessage.com/articles/quran%20sole%20guidance%20FM3.htmWith respect I am going to express my disagreement too because the miracle were fulfilled
1) I am not arguing whether SOME of those event occurred or not. I am arguing against the believe that the prophet was able to foretell them.
