The following phrases are used for Dr. Rashad Khalifa words by\nthose who cannot get themselves to believe God in 6:114-115 that God\u2019s words in\nthe Quran are complete, fully detailed and the only source of law. Some cannot\neven define what they mean when they use the word Quran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorized Explanations
Correct Understanding
Quran was his source
God was his source
His teachings are in the Quran
Disseminate information from God
Point one mistake by the messenger
Did he make any mistakes
Right of interpretation
Clarify matters for the believers
Messenger’s message
Obey & trust the messenger
Follow the messenger
He did not speak on his own
His job was to explain the Quran<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By using the phrases above and rejecting 6:114-115 the clear\nimplication is made that Rashad Khalifa was infallible and that his words are\ninfallible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only the words of the Arabic Quran are infallible (2:2, 10:37).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No other words other than the complete words of God in the Quran\ncan be a source of law.
\nNo other words, even direct words of the messenger can be a source of law.

\nCorrect understanding was given to Solomon. God spoke to Moses and Jesus was\nsupported by the Holy Spirit all his life. All these were exclusive to the\nmentioned messengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[21:79] We granted Solomon the correct understanding, though we endowed\nboth of them with wisdom and knowledge. We committed the mountains to serve\nDavid in glorifying (God), as well as the birds. This is what we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THE QURAN ON QURAN AS A SOURCE OF LAW<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[6:114] Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He\nhas revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture\nrecognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not\nharbor any doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[6:115] The word of your Lord is complete, in truth and justice.\nNothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[6:19] Say, “Whose testimony is the greatest?” Say,\n“GOD’s. He is the witness between me and you that this Quran has been\ninspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear\nwitness that there are other gods beside GOD.” Say, “I do not testify\nas you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[18:27] You shall recite what is revealed to you of your Lord’s\nscripture. Nothing shall abrogate His words, and you shall not find any other\nsource beside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RASHAD KHALIFA ON THE QURAN RATHER THAN HIM AS THE SOURCE OF LAW<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A common refrain is \u2018did Rashad Khalifa make mistakes.\u2019 The\nobvious implication is how dare you suggest that he made mistakes. What is\nunsaid by them is that he was infallible because God was his source, the Quran\nwas his source and he did not speak on his own. Infallible means incapable of\nmaking mistakes or being wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u2018how dare\u2019 question applies to Dr. Khalifa who consistently reminded\nus of his fallibility, the fact he can make mistakes and the fact that we should\ngo by the word of God in the Quran rather than his words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stripping of common sense is the surest sign that something\nhas gone awry. The fact that some reject 6:114-115 and consider the words of\nthe messenger as infallible is an example of stripped common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The phrases at the beginning of the note like \u2018obey & trust\u2019, \u2018did\nnot speak on his own\u2019, \u2018authorized explanations, \u2018correct understanding\u2019, etc.\nwill all apply to the following words of the messenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The complete quotes with the sources are in this link: The messenger\u2019s words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n **<\/p>\n\n\n\n None of the above, in any way, means that any of Dr. Khalifa\u2019s\nwork should be cast aside nor does it mean that a thorough study of his should\nnot be done nor does it mean that anyone should be discouraged from study of\nhis works\/ videos, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It simply means, that when a point of view is advocated, can support from the words of the Quran be provided. The source remains the Quran (Statute Book). Explanation does not become a source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Admission Test Q&A<\/a> The following phrases are used for Dr. Rashad Khalifa words by those who cannot get themselves to believe God in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-quran"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"masood","author_link":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/author\/masood\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The following phrases are used for Dr. Rashad Khalifa words by those who cannot get themselves to believe God in […]","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":589,"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions\/589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.islamunraveled.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Remember it is the message, not the messenger<\/li>\n\n\n\n

This is what we follow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
because God said so in the Quran.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

must be in the Quran and be backed up by what God is saying. If it is not in
the Quran, it is your obligation to disobey him. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
information that is not confirmed by the Quran, we tell him forget it, we don\u2019t
accept it. The criterion is preaching, confirming existing scripture, the Quran
and nothing else. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
will be the first to tell you, if it is my opinion, if it is Rashad Khalifa,
don\u2019t follow him, because you will probably do the wrong thing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
all know this, we do not follow any person and we emphasize here we are
worshippers of God alone. We follow the word of God alone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Rasool you will uphold the Quran, the whole Quran and nothing but the Quran. If
you go to anything other than the Quran, you are not obeying the messenger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

blasphemous and misleading fabrications:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
source beside God, we support Satan in his claim that God needs a partner.
Therefore, those who worship God ALONE follow the instructions and teachings of
GOD ALONE. As shown throughout this book, God\u2019s teachings are complete,
perfect, and fully detailed in Quran.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
have to hear other names along with God? Can GOD ALONE survive in your mind?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
any repulsion? Or, are you happy and content with the talk about GOD ALONE???
Based on the Great Quranic criterion, as stated in 39:45, your answers to these
questions provide the key to knowing yourself, and your destiny.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nRELATED LINKS<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
