We Muslims are ready to label kafir to the Muslim of other sects without realizing that it is a great sin in the eyes of Allah. Islam was completed in the days of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as Koran says:
اَلْیَوْمَ اَکْمَلْتُ لَکُمْ دِیۡنَکُمْ وَاَتْمَمْتُ عَلَیۡکُمْ نِعْمَتِیۡ وَرَضِیۡتُ لَکُمُ الۡاِسْلٰمَ دِیۡنًا
Almost 200 years after Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Muslim scholars started writing Ahadith which turned a beautiful and simple religion into complex labyrinths. Even now a very strong sect Ahle Ahadith is also there. In his last sermon, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said he is leaving behind two essentials: Koran and Sunnah. Islam survived 200 years without Bukhari, Muslim and other books. Though I myself don’t agree with Pervaiz Ahmed, but my question is: the one who believes in Koran is Kafir, but the one who believes in books of rawayah (Ahadith) is Muslim. If Hadith was important, it would have been written in the days of rightly guided caliphs. But Abu Bakar (RA) discouraged to write Ahadith as they sometime invalidate Koran.
I myself believe in those ahadith which are not sacrilegious and not against the basic tenants of Islam and do not lower the prestige of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). I think anyone who believes in Allah and His last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is Muslim. I don’t agree with some of the ahadith. Am I also kafir?
