21. "The Hadith and Sharī'ah (law)"
  
     
1.
 Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,
 
2.
 Who creates, then disposes; Who measures, then guides;
  
3.
 Ah, the Hadith- the sayings.
  
4.
 The collection of sayings of man claimed by men to be the sayings of a messenger of Allah.
  
5.
 That some mistakenly believe to be equal to the word of the Almighty!
  
6.
 Let me tell you then of a similar story- the story of the cross upon which Jesus was said to have been slain.
  
7.
 In years gone by, the wood claimed to be the “true cross” of Jesus was so great that a fleet of ships, or an entire village could have been made from the material.
  
8.
 How absurd then when men, in their desperation for greatness make claims upon which they know little.
  
9.
 The Hadith is to be respected as a matter of history.
  
10.
 But it is not to be regarded as equal to the word of Allah.
  
11.
 To think otherwise is to commit a grave error of judgment.
  
12.
 What is fiqh? What is this understanding?
  
13.
 While all communities must of themselves avail to common standards of law, what of the pursuit of seeking to regulate a person’s soul?
  
14.
 By Shari’ah certain acts may be deemed praiseworthy (mandūb), while other acts blameworthy (makrūh), but so twisted has these laws become that what is considered favourable to God is divorced from common sense.
  
15.
 Is a law then that makes evil legal and good illegal a just law or a bad law?
  
16.
 By whose authority did men suppose that divine revelation would cease at the death of the Prophet Muhammad?
 
17.
 By whose authority did men suppose to relegate women to mere cattle, or coat hangars for bedsheets?  
18.
 Was it’s Muhammad’s desire?
 
19.
 Certainly it was not Allah.
  
20.
 For upon this shaky foundation rests the mountain of rules and laws of Shari’ah- that Allah will no longer speak to any other person until the final Day of Judgment.
  
21.
 By Shari’ah it is not up to society to deem what is not what is not law, but the divine. And given the crafty lawyers scripted their laws upon the principle that Allah had closed all doors of divine revelation, they had effectively free reign to impose the world they felt fit.
  
22.
 Did the judges of Umayyad so think their words to be also immutable and equal unto the Lord? Did they arrogantly assume that a day would never come when Allah would hold the Shari’ah to account?
  
23.
 Behold! Allah now holds you to account and gives you a prime law- That Shari’ah is finished.
  
24.
 Shari’ah is banished, forbidden to be followed in its corrupted form by any true believer of Islam.
  
25.
 Only the fools and the beguiled of evil shall still follow. For Allah has spoken.
  
26.
 “Outrageous”, the lawyers and judges of Shari’ah will claim.
  
27.
 They feebly call out "Allah would never banish laws they he Himself has ordained!"
  
28.
 So sure are they, these peacocks of Scripture that no argument can assail their pulpit.
  
29.
 All men are brave when drunk with their own self-importance.  
30.
 Behold! Allah need not lower Himself to their level to blow their carefully crafted lies into dust- be but merely need to command it.
  
31.
 Let it so be- He, the Lord of the Universe has commanded it! Shari’ah is dead!
  
32.
 “But Lord, what of your people? How might they live by your word without law?”
  
33.
 By the gifts that have been bestowed upon you now.
  
34.
 Can you not see One Islam?
  
35.
 Are you blind to One Heaven and One Jerusalem?
  
36.
 Are the codes of law present as part of the Arabian Union not enough?
  
37.
 Enough! You ingrates, you puffed self importanced charlatans.
  
38.
 Plead for Mercy now and be saved from Allah’s anger towards your hateful ways and wicked weasel wording.
  
39.
 Help Him restore goodness and common sense.
  
40.
 This is His command to you. Obey and be united with Him in a new purpose.
