Refuting mostmerciful.com: Abu Hurairah

This is a refutation of an article written by Akbarally about Abu Hurairah at www.mostmerciful.com/abu-hurayrah.htm.

The funny thing is that Akbarally described this article as "A Hadeeth from "Sahih Muslim" that directly contradicts the Revealed Text of the Qur'an". Yet, after careful consideration, it turns out that such hadeeth DOES NOT contradict the Quran after all.AFirst, let me highlight the fact that all enemies of Islam attacks Abu Hurairah. This includes Orientalist, Anti Hadeeth, Shiaas, Modernists etc. The list has just got longer and the latest to join the list is Akbarralli Meherally.

For a good defence of Abu Hurairah, feel free to surf http://www.allaahuakbar.net/shiites/in_defense_of_abu_hurairah.htm.

Now, lets see the article below. The question now, is there really a contradiction between the hadeeth and the verses he quoted?


ARGUMENT #1”

The verse:


54. Your Guardian-Lord is God, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is firmly established on the throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day, each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, t he moon, and the stars, (all) governed by laws under His command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!

Then the hadeeth:

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah:
Allah's Messenger took hold of my hands and said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created the clay on Saturday and He created the mountains on Sunday and He created the trees on Monday and He created the things entailing labour on Tuesday and created light on Wednesday and He caused the animals to spread on Thursday and created Adam (peace be upon him) after Asr on Friday; the last creation at the last hour of the hours of Friday, i.e. between afternoon and night.



MY QUESTION IS, WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION???????????


The verse talks about the number of days Alllah created Heaven and Earth (“As Sama Wa Al Ard”).

The Hadeeth DOES NOT MENTION “As Sama Wa Al Ard” at all. So, how can the hadeeth contradicts the Quran?

MORE ISSUES THAT Akbaralli Did Not Address

Perhaps Akbaralli should not have been so one-track mind in understanding Al HAdeeth of the Prophet SAW. Perhaps he needs to widen his mind and consider other possible angle or issues that requires addressing before coming to his conclusion


a. The verses uses the word “Ayam” which means “days”. The question now is, does “days” in the verse the same as “days” known to us right now? For one, before the Creation, there was no day and night?
b. The hadeeth talks about Creations of God other then Heaven and Earth. So, where is the contradiction?
c. The other possible explanation is that God Created Heaven and Earth in Six Days but His ENTIRE CREATIONS took Him seven days?
d. Can we simply assume that when God says Heaven and Earth, he’s referring to His entire creations? I think that’s a faulty conclusion.


CONCLUSION

Akbarally is at it again. Claiming something which is never an issue. Making a mountain out of nothing.

It seems this is the trademark of all Anti Hadeeth. U depend on wrong accusations, half truth, misinterpretation and deception to advance your case.

What a bunch of losers u all are.
