Thank you Rifat. I've always appreciated your good faith ability to engage in civil conversation with those who do not agree with you on certain matters. Some of the Takfiri fanatics, zealots and terrorism apologists with monumental egos in this forum, guys who've made themselves and their gurus virtual partners with GOD by being absolute masters of GOD's truth, have a lot to learn from you when it comes to real Taqwa and Adab.
That being said, the Quran being the fully detailed, divine revelation is totally unambiguous*. The Quran describes itself as the final revelation in a series of revelations. Those earlier revelations are at once confirmed and superseded by the Quran. Superseded when certain parts of those earlier revelations specifically abrogated when they are in the Quran. The Hadith and subsequent scholarship, as important and valuable as they may be on many occasions, are not a part of divine revelation, period. To say that is to directly contradict the Speech of GOD our Lord. GOD calls on His true believers to make sure not to fall in the trap of idol-worship by following the words of some scholars instead of the Speech of GOD. See Quran 9:31
*See Quran 6:114, 7:52, 11:1, 41:3, 10:37 and 12:111. Also see Quran 18:109.
