Since you deny the Sunnah, tell me about prayer. How did you learn it, know its times and number, and how did you learn its pillars, conditions, obligations, Sunnahs, recommendations, nullifiers, and dislikes? The Quran didn't explain all these. Refute me if you can 😈.
Before I answer you, I want to ask you two questions.
Go ahead, ask.
When did you start praying, and how old were you when you began?
Praise be to Allah, I have been praying since I was eight years old.
Wonderful, may Allah accept it from you. But tell me please, how did you learn to pray when you were eight years old?
Hmph! 🙄 What do you mean? Don't dodge the question.
Since you didn't answer, I will answer for you.
You learned prayer from your father, mother, and family. You saw them praying, and you imitated them.
Your father learned it from your grandfather, and your grandfather from his father, and so on.
The same thing happened with those who preceded us; Bukhari, Muslim, Al-Shafi'i, Al-Kulayni, and others learned it from their families and the surrounding environment.
Do you really want to convince me that when you started praying at age eight, you opened the book of Sahih Bukhari to the chapter on prayer and applied what was written in it?
Surely your answer is no. Even in Sahih Bukhari, there is no complete detail of the prayer.
😤😤 Fine, answer the second part of the question: the Sunnahs of prayer, its pillars, obligations... etc.
They have no origin in the Quran, so how did you learn them?
You answered your own question when you said they have no origin in the Quran 😀😃.
When we talk about prayer and its method, and you say the Sunnah explains it: there *is* an origin for this prayer in the Quran, but it's not detailed as you claim. If we search for the origin of the "pillars," "conditions," "obligations," "Sunnahs," "dislikes," and "nullifiers" of prayer, we find that these words have no origin in the Holy Quran. They were established by the "scholars," as you call them.
Therefore, the one who established these specific terms for prayer and made it a burden for the Muslim is the one solely responsible for them; he cannot impose them on me.
For example, there are more than fifteen "pillars" of prayer. I don't know where they got them from!! And how they managed to convince Muslims that they are fundamentals of prayer!
My brother, the Messenger of Allah lived in Medina for at least ten years. If we calculate five prayers a day (as they reached us), and these five prayers contain seventeen units (Rak'ahs) per day and night, it means the Messenger prayed (61,200) Rak'ahs in front of the Muslims. This is a massive number. It is impossible for the companions to forget how to perform prayer; they passed it down from generation to generation until it reached us, and it will reach future generations without books of Sunnah or anything else.
Despite that, there are differences in its method between the followers of the four schools of thought and other Muslim sects.
So why do you focus so much on the idea that we learned prayer from books of Hadith!!
Why do you only discuss this issue as if it's the primary concern of religion, and that prayer is the most important thing in religion!
Your prayer is for yourself; it is an act of worship between you and your Lord, and it is nobody else's business.
