Read these verses with me:
1- "Follow, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you from your Lord - there is no deity except Him - and turn away from those who associate others with Allah. Had Allah willed, they would not have associated. And We have not appointed you over them as a guardian, nor are you a manager over them." Al-An'am [106-107].
2- "Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided." Al-Qasas [56].
3- "Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book for the people in truth. So whoever is guided - it is for his soul, and whoever goes astray only goes astray against it. And you are not a manager over them." Az-Zumar [41].
4- "And those who take as allies other than Him - Allah is guardian over them; and you, [O Muhammad], are not over them a manager." Ash-Shura [6].
5- "And say, 'The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve.'" Al-Kahf [29].
6- "And upon Allah is the direction of the [right] way, and among the various paths are those which are deviating. And if He willed, He could have guided you all." An-Nahl [9].
7- "And whoever disbelieves - let not his disbelief grieve you. To Us is their return, and We will inform them of what they did. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts." Luqman [23].
8- "You are not over them a controller." Al-Ghashiyah [22].
9- "And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so pardon with gracious forgiveness." Al-Hijr [85].
10- "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided." An-Nahl [125].
11- "And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, 'We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.'" Al-Ankabut [46].
12- "Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly." Al-Mumtahanah [8].
These verses are beautiful, aren't they?
They bring peace to the heart and grant tranquility, for they call for tolerance, love, and freedom of belief.
But I regret to inform you that all these verses are abrogated (Mansukha)!
Abrogated?
Yes, abrogated!!
Abrogated, cancelled, meaning they cannot be used as evidence; they exist only for recitation! This is what Sheikh Abu Muhammad Makki ibn Abi Talib al-Qaysi says in his book: *Al-Idah li-Nasikh al-Qur'an wa-Mansukhih* (The Clarification of the Abrogating and Abrogated in the Quran).
This is the traditional heritage's concept of religion!
What abrogated them? Who dared to cancel verses from the Book of Allah?!
The answer: Humans.
Surprised, aren't you?!
The books of men are what abrogated and cancelled these verses, using Hadiths for which Allah sent no authority, attributing them to the Prophet and saying things about him that he never said!
Imagine that fallible humans abrogate the words of the Lord of humans!! This Great God, free from flaws and deficiencies, has His words cancelled and replaced by the words of men!
Can you even imagine this?
If you notice in the aforementioned verses which the "priests of religion" claim are abrogated, not a single verse speaks of fighting! Not a single verse speaks of fire and threats for those who cross Allah's limits!
All the verses they "cancelled" from the Book of Allah are the verses of tolerance, coexistence, love, and freedom!
Allah, glorified be He, calls for and commands coexistence and freedom of belief for all humans, tolerance, peace, and love. Then religious men come and say: "No Lord, your rulings do not please us; we do not want freedom, tolerance, or coexistence."
"We want killing, oppression, aggression, beheading, hatred, and racism."
So they conspired with the sultans of that time to invent a new source for religion, calling it "The Prophetic Sunnah," and they placed all their criminal ideas into this source, falsely and slanderously attributing them to the Messenger of Allah.
They wrote the books with their own hands and then said they were from Allah!
They wrote them to their own measure and according to their own thoughts.
And to give them a status of sanctity, it was enough for them to write "The Messenger of Allah said" before every criminal text so that it would be sanctified and no Muslim would reject it!
Since minds are disabled and rely only on quoting religious men, no one would think to ask: "How could the Messenger of Allah contradict the Book of Allah?!"
Thus, the collective mind of the Muslim stops, believes, and accepts whatever is said simply because they hear "The Messenger of Allah said."
They lied about the Messenger with statements that contradict the Book of Allah, such as:
1- "Whoever changes his religion, kill him."
2- "I have been commanded to fight the people."
3- "I have come to you with slaughter."
4- The Hadith of stoning.
And many narratives that contradict the Book of Allah and assault peaceful people in the name of "Islamic conquests" and the rape of women in the name of "concubinage." Let us not forget that women had the lion's share of those narratives that humiliate and diminish them, comparing them to donkeys, devils, beasts, and dogs, and labeling them "deficient," along with narratives of cursing.
They had a bestial, pedophilic sexual mentality that loved taking pleasure in children, so they claimed that the Prophet married a child and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old, just to legalize this crime for themselves.
The Messenger of Allah was not present when they wrote those Hadiths and claimed they were his words; he was not there to call them liars and disown them.
And if you criticize these Hadiths, in the eyes of religious men and the vast majority of Muslims, you are "rejecting the words of the Messenger of Allah" and "daring against him," and therefore, you are an infidel!
The rulers wanted to invade countries and expand their reign; they asked religious men to pass a decree to do this and grant it sanctity. Of course, nothing is easier than that.
They attributed the invasion to the Messenger of Allah, saying he commanded it, to give it sanctity and the blessing and support of Muslims!
The "priests of religion" could not distort the Book of Allah, nor could they add or remove anything from it, forgetting or ignoring that Allah pledged to preserve His Book. So they invented another source for religion and called it "The Prophetic Sunnah."
But the matter did not end there. The "guardians of the priestly temple" said: "There is still a problem that must be solved."
What is this problem, then?
The answer: There are verses (mentioned above) that do not align with what we wrote in the Hadiths we attributed to the Messenger of Allah, and we must get rid of them.
What is the solution?
We invent for them the term "Abrogating and Abrogated" (Al-Nasikh wal-Mansukh), and any verse we do not like—that calls for tolerance and freedom and does not align with our ideas—we call it abrogated. Thus, the verses remain as they are in the Quran for reading only, but their ruling is cancelled by the texts we wrote ourselves.
Even Satan could not think of these ideas, for they are the real Satans.
And when a "non-Muslim" criticizes Islam and criticizes the Messenger of Allah for being a pedophile and calling for the invasion of countries and the killing of everyone who does not believe in his message—relying on the texts of Bukhari, Kulayni, and others—Muslims erupt in rage as usual, moved by emotions rather than reason. They chant slogans like "Anything but the Messenger of Allah" and demand the killing of anyone who insults the Messenger and Islam to "prove" that Islam is a religion of peace and not a religion of killing and barbarism as the insulter claims!
Instead of draining the swamp, they settle for just killing the mosquitoes.
One of the strange paradoxes is that the most important books of narrations, which are considered "three-quarters of the religion" according to the priestly concept—and which override the Quran if they conflict with Allah's verses—were written by people who were not Arabs (with all due respect to all ethnicities without exception). They did not speak the Arabic language, did not live in Arab society, and did not know Arab customs and traditions; rather, all of them were from Central and East Asia!
For example:
- 1- Bukhari from Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
- 2- Muslim from Nishapur, Iran.
- 3- Al-Tirmidhi from Termez, Uzbekistan.
- 4- Ibn Majah from Qazvin, Iran.
- 5- Abu Dawood from Sistan, Afghanistan.
- 6- Al-Nasa'i from Nasa, Turkmenistan.
- 7- Al-Kulayni from Iran.
- 8- Al-Tusi from Iran.
- 9- Sheikh al-Saduq from Iran.
Strange: Is there not among the Companions or the Followers (Tabi'un) a rational man who could collect the Hadiths of the Messenger of Allah, considering he lived with him and knew the religion better than those who would come two hundred years later to present us with books and say they are the "completion of the religion"!?
Summary:
Abrogation (Al-Nasikh wal-Mansukh) is one of the most malicious ideas and most heinous crimes committed against Islam.
Religious men have dared to distort religion and tarnish the image of true Islam, which calls for tolerance, freedom, and peace.
They invented sources for religion and attributed to them whatever served their political and social purposes, exploiting the absence of critical awareness among the general Muslim public. We must return to the Holy Quran as the sole source of religion and reject everything that contradicts its spirit and lofty principles, which respect human beings, guarantee their freedom, and call for peaceful coexistence among all humanity.
