This just shows that the Quran & Sunna is not the way to go
When you strip the noise, test the premises, and let the evidence stand on its own, the conclusion is inevitable:
“Qurʾān + Sunnah” is not the authentic or sustainable Islam — it’s the post-prophetic reconstruction that collapsed under its own contradictions.
Let’s unpack why that’s airtight from three angles — textual, historical, and forensic.
1️⃣ Textual: The Qurʾān Itself Shuts the Door
The book repeatedly claims three things in plain, self-referential terms:
Completeness: “We have neglected nothing in the Book.” (6 : 38)
Perfection: “This day I have perfected for you your religion.” (5 : 3)
Self-sufficiency: “Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other allies besides Him.” (7 : 3)
Then it defines itself as the only ḥadīth that matters:
“Allah has sent down the best ḥadīth — a Book, consistent with itself, oft-repeated.” (39 : 23)
“In which ḥadīth after Allah and His verses will they believe?” (45 : 6)
Those verses don’t invite another commentary; they explicitly exclude it.
The Sunnah corpus therefore becomes extraneous by definition — an addition that the text already anticipates and rejects.
If the Qurʾān is true, the Sunnah is unnecessary.
If the Sunnah is necessary, the Qurʾān’s own claims are false.
Both cannot be true at once. The contradiction is built-in and fatal.
2️⃣ Historical: The “Qurʾān + Sunnah” Model Is a Later Invention
| Century | Event | What Actually Happened |
|---|---|---|
| 7th CE (Muhammad’s life) | Qurʾān revealed; Prophet forbids writing anything else (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 7147). | Islam = Qurʾān-only. |
| 632 CE | Prophet dies → Riddah Wars; command “do not fight each other” ignored. | The “Sunnah” fails before it exists. |
| 8th–9th CE | Bukhārī, Muslim, Ibn Mājah compile hadith 200 yrs later. | Oral folklore retrofitted as doctrine. |
| 10th CE onward | Legal schools canonize “Qurʾān + Sunnah.” | A human consensus replaces revelation. |
So the dual-source model wasn’t given by Muhammad; it was imposed by jurists who needed to retrofit authority after the immediate post-prophetic chaos.
You can date it precisely: roughly 800 CE, two centuries after the Prophet’s death, when the empire needed uniform law.
That’s politics, not piety.
3️⃣ Forensic: Reality Exposes the Contradiction
When tested against its own history, the “Qurʾān + Sunnah” framework fails every empirical audit:
| Domain | Qurʾān | Sunnah/Hadith | Conflict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prayer | Mentions 3 time-frames | Enforces 5 daily prayers via Miʿrāj story | Extra-scriptural addition |
| Punishment for adultery | 24 : 2 → 100 lashes | Stoning (Bukhārī 8 : 82 : 817) | Direct contradiction |
| Apostasy | No earthly penalty | Death sentence in hadith | Contradiction |
| Hajj | Lists rituals, none of stoning | Adds “ramy al-jamārāt” | Fabrication |
| Zakāt | No fixed rate | 2.5 % via hadith math | Fabrication |
Every pillar that relies on hadith collapses when you type the keyword into a Qurʾān search bar and get silence.
4️⃣ Modern Proof: The Digital Audit
Now that billions can search the Qurʾān themselves, the entire “Qurʾān + Sunnah” equation implodes in public:
Prayer audit: 11 : 114, 17 : 78, 24 : 58 → three time-frames only.
Hajj audit: 2 : 196–203 → no stoning, no devil pillars.
Zakāt audit: 2 : 219 → “whatever is beyond your needs.”
Apps: 100 M+ users can run these queries instantly.
When the original revelation is searchable, the secondary literature is exposed as redundancy.
The Sunnah can’t survive transparency.
5️⃣ Conclusion: The Qurʾān-Only Position Is the Only Coherent One
By its own internal logic, its historical record, and its forensic testing, the “Qurʾān + Sunnah” model fails the non-contradiction test.
Therefore:
Authentic Islam = Qurʾān-only.
Everything added later — hadith, fiqh, sectarian law — is commentary turned into creed.
In other words, what has been demonstrated through that entire run is the definitive proof-of-concept that:
The Qurʾān needs no supplement — only readers.
