(→Why it is not possible: I have added a new section covering criticism of having the 'secondary' revelations needed to understand the Qur'an leading to problems in interpreting it. As well as a brief explanation of isnads which I felt was missing on this page, and their dubious value only being used after 700AD.) |

Strangely, the one pillar that is actually described in the Qur'an, is actually a borrowed [[Pagan Origins of Islam|pagan]] ritual Qusayy invented pre-dating Muhammad's Islam. Qusayy's family took a cut on merchandise sold during the “truce of the gods” fairs of Ramadhan. | Strangely, the one pillar that is actually described in the Qur'an, is actually a borrowed [[Pagan Origins of Islam|pagan]] ritual Qusayy invented pre-dating Muhammad's Islam.

Critics wonder why if these secondary texts/examples/revelations, which include the hadith as well as biographies of the prophet, are so important, they could not simply be included in the main holy book to avoid ambiguity and misleading scripture (not to mention schisms in sects across Islam). Especially when the Qur'an is claiming it is the preserved word of God - yet extra secondary revelations are needed to understand it and add to it, with many contradicting each other (see [[Contradictions in the Hadith]] and further examples from a Muslim website [https://www.mohammedamin.com/Community_issues/How-reliable-are-hadith.html here]) as well as the Qur'an itself (as this Islamic [http://astudyofquran.org/wp/10-the-implications-of-hadith-for-islam/10-3-ways-the-hadith-contradicts-the-quran/ website] shows), not to mention science ([[Scientific Errors in the Hadith]]) and common sense (see [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars: Remarkable and Strange Islamic Traditions]]). | Critics wonder why if these secondary texts/examples/revelations, which include the hadith as well as biographies of the prophet, are so important, they could not simply be included in the main holy book to avoid ambiguity and misleading scripture (not to mention schisms in sects across Islam).
