wahabi propoganda. of course most muslims to believe in the hadeeths, but you are not prescribed to follow it, nor did the prophet himself ever say to write down the hadeeths and follow it. most of the collections of the hadiths were simply his own opinion, and he made it very clear tha tthe quran is the ultimate authority. he certainly wouldnt want all of you to be copying him in every way imagine, since you like to use terms alot, that my frind is shirk, and if the prophet were alive today, he would tell you that.
literalist terms mean, when wahabis say that the quran says that slavery is allowed, therefore we should all own slaves then? the quran says to beat your wife or admonish her, therefore we should all start beating our wives. of course you were to look at it in its literalist context this is the interpretation you would come up with. but it doesnt work like that, certain rules and regulations are attached to certain things, in order to trick the reader to stop doing what he is doing, without actually prohibiting certain actions. quran allows four wives right? therefore we can all have four wives. no we cant, cuz your first wife has to agree to it, and then you have to treat them equally, financial and emotionally you cant show favoritism and thats next to impossible to do. thus tricking the reader to stop polygamy. which the jahil arabs did when they had thousands of wives.
