where our own intellect fails to understand and interpret accordingly , this is where hadith comes in force to explain what exactly is being stated , the book of hadith tell us that the angels are made of noor ,
and the djinn are made for fire..
and the human is made of mud ,
Quran obviously is the upper hand ,
at some places the hadith help out explaining the matter easily ,
at some places they get into a direct conflict , ( in this case we disregard the hadith )
at some places it sheds light on an area outside the circle ...
( in this case we check if it conflicts with any other sahih hadith with more witnesses)
it all depends on the meaning you derive out of any sacred text .
if its contradicting Quran or some really valid sahih hadith synchronized with quran , then we disregard it .
and by hadith yes i mean HADITH ONLY .( the words of prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w.w)
because in the books of hadith there are two entities .
- words of Muhammad (s.a.w)
- riwayaat /incidents that happened during that time which involved no words of the prophet ( s.a.w) .
riwayaat again have to be thoroughly checked if they contradict with any hadith or ayat of quran .
if the riwayat contradicts , we again disregard it reject it .
hence , its upto you which way you may want to learn the quran ,
for me QURAN is the Word of Allah
hadith is the word of Muhammad (s.a.w.w)
Quran stays the upper hand in authenticating a hadith , but without the hadith we must not dare to get into all this " bareeeeki " that you are willing to ,
a sahih hadith comes before our interpretation/opinion about a matter .
[U]it speaks clearly that iblees was a djinn as his species...
[/U]rest is your free will how u may want to understand it .
i had more to say , but but i will cut it short because i will start speaking Ilmi language here it would confuse more people , so lets agree that he was a Djinn as the Quran says , and carry on
i will give one daleel on this ,
a teacher narrates ,
[U]that i ordered all the girls to get out of the class , and xulfiqar went out with all the girls . and he was among the boys .
now this doesn't make xulfiqar a girl :)[/U]
