Introduction to Article (1):

1- The Egyptian authorities have revoked the Egyptian citizenship of the lawyer Morris Sadek, who lives in the USA. Despite the wide intellectual difference between us and Morris Sadek, we have published here a statement in the name of IQC denouncing such an unjust measure and the unjust court sentence that sentenced to death in absentia those who have insulted Prophet Muhammad in a movie. We maintain here that such sentence is indeed insulting to Islam and it contradicts God's Quranic sharia. We have demanded that the Grand Mufti of Egypt should not participate in such crime by endorsing the court sentence, or else, he would be a veritable enemy of God and His messenger. We have demanded in our statement that judges who issued such sentence must get the sack because they have tarnished the reputation of Egypt and the image of Egyptian judicial system. We have explained how this unjust sentence asserts the deep infiltration of extremist Sunnite Ibn Hanbal doctrine-based Wahabism in the mentality of Egyptians. Hence, to achieve political victory over Wahabi terrorists (i.e., Salafists and the MB members) by forcing them out of power is not enough; what is more dangerous is the infiltration of Wahabism, disguised as ''Islam'', within Egyptian Muslims. It is of vital importance to prove using the Quranic verses how Wahabis disbelieve in the Quran and contradict it. this is intellectual war of ideas is being done so far exclusively by Quranists, without any support or aid from victims of Wahabism worldwide.       

2- We have concluded our IQC statement by showing how such court sentence goes against real Islamic sharia, found exclusively in the Quran, that contradicts the Wahabi Sunnite sharia. The following article below explains further this contradiction. 

Article (1): This Insulting Court Sentence Contradicts the Real Sunna of Muhammad

 Firstly: the meaning of Sunna: God's Sunna or sharia:

1- The Arabic term ''Sunna'' has two meanings in the Quranic text: 1) the way or method of Almighty God in dealing with polytheists and disbelievers: "Priding themselves on earth, and scheming evil. But evil scheming overwhelms none but its authors. Do they expect anything but the precedent of the ancients? You will not find any change in God's practice (i.e., Sunna), and you will not find any substitute to God's practice (i.e., Sunna)." (35:43), and 2) the meaning on which we focus here: the divine law. In both meanings, the term ''Sunna'' is mentioned as pertaining to God alone; Almighty God says the following about a certain legislation related to Muhammad alone: "There is no blame on the Prophet regarding what God has ordained for him. Such is the pattern (i.e., Sunna) of God among those who passed before. The command of God is an absolute decree." (33:38). We discern within this verse that Sunna of God here means pattern, command, or order, and all these terms denote sharia of God: His laws. We conclude then that term ''Sunna'' in the Quran refers to God's sharia as well. Literally, in Arabic, Sunna means issued laws whose application is obligatory. This meaning is related to the meaning of ''practical Sunna'' n traditional fiqh (i.e., jurisprudence), which denotes acts of worship (i.e., zakat, prayers, fasting, pilgrimage, etc.). in all this, God alone is the Legislator Who has revealed the Quranic legislation. Prophet Muhammad is an excellent example for true believers to follow as far as application of the Quranic sharia is concerned: "You have an excellent example in the Messenger of God…" (33:21). In this previous verse, and indeed in all Quranic verses, God never associates the term ''Sunna'' at all with Muhammad. Muhammad was an excellent example of how to be a believer who applies God's sharia: the Quran; he had no Sunna (i.e., body of laws) of his own alongside with, or parallel to, God's.    

2- within Sunnite fiqh, it is repeated that practical Sunna is acts of worship, as we have mentioned above, and we Quranists agree with that. Yet, we refute the claims of Sunnites, Shiites, and Sunnites that Muhammad had a verbal/oral Sunna (i.e., traditions, sayings, actions, history/biography events, etc.) ascribed to him centuries after his death, written down in countless books. Such claims contradict the Quran; the only words uttered by Muhammad within Islam are the ones mentioned in the Quran preceded by the command ''say…". This command ''say…'' is repeated 332 times throughout the Quranic text. Topics in verses that mention the command ''say…" include all that is required by true believers to know about Islam. Many of these verses that mention the command ''say…" assert and repeat other verses that do not mention the command ''say…". Prophet Muhammad has been commanded in the Quran to convey the Quranic message as a whole without adding to it or removing some of it; he had no power to say anything about religious matters apart from the Quran. God says the following about Muhammad: "Had he falsely attributed some statements to Us. We would have seized him by the right arm. Then slashed his lifeline.And none of you could have restrained Us from him." (69:44-47). Hence, the verbal Sunna of Muhammad is confined to the verses that mention the command ''say…", because the term ''Sunna'' means God's sharia to which we should adhere.

3- The Sunnite, Shiite, and Sufi Muhammadans claim that the so-called hadiths ascribed to Muhammad is the source from which we get to know how to perform acts of worship, especially prayers. Nothing could be further from the truth; such hadiths are doubted countless words and phrases ascribed to Muhammad centuries after his death, and therefore cannot possibly be part of Islam, whereas practical Sunna literally means things to follow, especially in acts of worship. Would anyone dare to say that early Muslims did not know how to pray until Al-Bokhary wrote his book?! Acts of worship were performed and practiced long decades before Al-Bokhary and long centuries before the advent of Islam in Arabia; as they were among the main features of the Abrahamic religion which is commanded by God in the Quran to be followed by Muslims, including Muhammad. It is noteworthy that no hadiths ascribed to Muhammad two centuries after his death tackle details of how to pray, and Al-Bokhary authored hadiths that distorts prayers and cast doubts on them.      

4- God has asserted in two separate verses that the Quran is the only discourse in which true faithful ones must believe: "…Which discourse, besides this, will they believe in?" (7:185) "In what discourse, beyond this, will they believe?" (77:50). Reading the Quran, we discern that God links belief in Him alone without peers to the belief in the Quran alone as the only discourse in Islam; let us ponder deeply upon this verse: "These are God's Verses which We recite to you in truth. In which discourse, after God and His revelations, will they believe?" (45:6). God in the next verses forewarns those who author, spread, and propagate misguiding hadiths and other falsehoods and lies: "Woe to every sinful liar who hears God's revelations being recited to him, yet he persists arrogantly, as though he did not hear them. Announce to him a painful punishment, and when he learns something of Our revelations, he takes them in mockery; for such a person there is a shameful punishment." (45:7-9). Within the last one of the Quranic Ten Commandments, God asserts that the Quran is the only righteous, straight path that must be followed, and not to follow other serpentine routes of fabrications, like Al-Bokhary falsehoods and their like: "This is My path, straight, so follow it. And do not follow the other paths, lest they divert you from His path. All this He has enjoined upon you, that you may refrain from wrongdoing." (6:153). Thus, the Quran is the only path given to us by God to be followed by the true devout ones, and we are not to follow other paths/books so as not to be misguided and be led astray. This verse asserts the fact that the Quran is the only source of Islam. The Quran is the only straight path to God, the only straight line between two points. Other paths are based on differences, discrepancies, and doubts; as hadiths, narratives, and accounts have too many different methods and ways as well as countless paths to lead us astray. Many scholars who have studied hadiths assert that they are not asserted or ascertained by any possible means; many of them are vague, contradictory, and illogical, apart from their flagrant opposition to the Quranic text. To make us avoid all paths fashioned by human beings in relation to faith, and to urge us to follow the Quran alone as God's path, God has said the following to Muhammad: "If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would divert you from God's path. They follow nothing but assumptions, and they only conjecture." (6:116). Muhammad followed the Quran alone, and no other books at all: "…Say, "I only follow what is inspired to me from my Lord…"" (7:203), "Say, "I am not different from the other messengers; and I do not know what will be done with me, or with you. I only follow what is inspired in me, and I am only a clear warner."" (46:9). True believers in the Quran have to follow the example of Muhammad in following the Quran alone with no other sources whatsoever; as this command has been addressed to Muhammad and to believers as well: "Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord, and do not follow other masters beside Him. Little you recollect." (7:3). This means that it is crystal clear that following the Quran is followed by never seeking guidance in faith in any other source; the Quran is the only authority in Islam, without any distortions at all. Since Muhammad adhered to the Quran alone in his morals and behavior, we conclude that the Quran was his only Sunna (i.e., law) and nothing else.     

5- Yet, with the passage of centuries, the Muhammadans had fashioned an earthly, fabricated creed that they have named the Sunnite religion to replace and supplant Islam. They had authored and phrased countless hadiths ascribed falsely to Muhammad more than two centuries after his death. Of course, such hadiths are insulting to God, the Quran (real Islam), and Muhammad. This earthly Sunnite religion spawned many false doctrines with the passage of time, and the very last version of it now is the destructive Wahabism, on which the KSA is based. Founder of the third current KSA which is about to collapse, Abdul-Aziz Al-Saud, had planted the tree of the terrorist MB and Salafists in Egypt and in the Arab world. This evil corrupt tree grew and caused the emergence of terrorist groups and organizations that raise religious mottoes to reach power in many countries. Sadly, millions of non-Salafist and non-MB Egyptians embraced Wahabism as if it were 'true' Islam! Among such millions are those judges in this insulting 2012 case, who have been brought up within corrupt media, education, and religion of Wahabism. Using the Wahabi creed and ideology, these judges resorted to its corrupt sharia to issue a verdict to put to death those who produced a movie to insult Prophet Muhammad. These judges suppose wrongly that they thus defend Muhammad and religion; in fact, they have put themselves in the position of enemies of Islam and Muhammad. This erroneous court sentence goes against the true Sunna/law adopted and applied by Muhammad: the Quran itself. Further explanation is found in this book.         

Secondly: real Sunna in dealing with those insulting Muhammad:

1- The insult of Islam and Muhammad addressed by Morris Sadek and the rest of his group is nothing compared to the insult, abuse, fighting, and aggression committed by the Meccan disbelievers, especially within the Qorayish tribe, at the era of Muhammad in the 7^th A.D. If we to imagine Muhammad brought back to life now, watching this move, he would not respond to it; he would pardon them and never would harm those responsible for the movie. Why do we say this? Because this is real Sunna/religion followed by Muhammad: the Quran. The Quran tells us about Muhammad that he was sent as a mercy to the humankind (see 21:107) and NOT to massacre and terrorize the humankind, as done and proposed by Muhammad's enemies: the Wahabis and their crones: the terrorist MB and Salafists, who spread all sorts of terror in the name of Islam. They are in fact distorting and tarnishing Islam. Hence, Morris Sadek is in fact not the real enemy of Islam; rather, it is Morsi and his terrorist MB group that are eager to destroy both Egypt and Islam.   

2- Prophet Muhammad used to be mocked by disbelievers during his lifetime, and God records in the Quran such insults and has warned mockers against Hell: "When those who disbelieve see you, they treat you only with ridicule: "Is this the one who mentions your gods?"…" (21:36). "And when they see you, they take you for nothing but mockery: "Is this the one God sent as a messenger?"" (25:41). "That is their requital: Hell, on account of their disbelief, and their taking My revelations and My messengers in mockery." (18:106).

3- We conclude from the above-mentioned point that such mockery and ridicule have made God repeats His command to Muhammad to be patient with their harm and bear with it; Muhammad was very tolerant and very patient despite their continuing and unstinting harm. Among such repeated commands of , we read the following: "And endure patiently what they say, and withdraw from them politely." (73:10). This means that Muhammad was gentle with them, leaving them alone, never revenging himself or punishing his mockers. This patience was linked to higher moralistic attitude. God warns such aggressors and mockers against Hell: "And leave Me to those who deny the truth, those of luxury, and give them a brief respite. With Us are shackles, and a Fierce Fire. And food that chokes, and a painful punishment." (73:11-13). Muhammad used to feel saddened by his enemies' falsehoods and lies as well as their accusations and fabrications they made about him, feeling annoyed by their evil intrigues and plots, and hence, God has said to him: "So be patient. Your patience is solely from God. And do not grieve over them, and do not be distressed by their schemes. God is with those who are righteous and those who are virtuous." (16:127-128). "We know that what they say grieves you. It is not you they reject, but it is God's revelations that the wicked deny." (6:33). God has ordered Muhammad to perform more acts of worship to drive away feelings of distress and sorrow because of injustices suffered by him: "We are aware that your heart is strained by what they say. So glorify the praise of your Lord, and be among those who bow down. And worship your Lord in order to attain certainty." (15:97-99). Divine commands addressed to Muhammad to be patient regarding harm done to him are repeated many times: "Be patient in the face of what they say…" (38:17). "So bear patiently what they say, and celebrate the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting. And during the hours of the night glorify Him, and at the borders of the day, that you may be satisfied." (20:130).  "So endure what they say, and proclaim the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before sunset and glorify Him during the night, and at the end of prostrations." (50:39-40). God has warned Muhammad against fury that might lead him to lose his patience:    "So be patient. The promise of God is true. And do not let those who lack certainty belittle you." (30:60). Hence, the Quran-based Sunna/demeanor of Muhammad  was to be patient regarding repeated acts of insult, harm, ridicule, and mockery by performing acts of worship and leaving affairs and matters to the hands of God, and NOT to sentence mockers to death.          

4- This patience was not a passive one linked to inability, hatred, grudges, and animosity or to seeking vengeance against the unjust ones; rather, it was a positive patience based on tolerance, pardon, forgiveness, peace, and moving away from verbal aggressors as per 73:10, and this is repeated in the following verse: "…The Hour is coming, so forgive with gracious forgiveness." (15:85), as it is enough that unrepentant ones will suffer Hell for eternity after the Day of Resurrection: "As for his statement: "My Lord, these are a people who do not believe." Pardon them, and say, "Peace." They will come to know." (43:88-89). Pardon here is linked to peace, as everyone will know the Truth in the Day of Resurrection.

5- Of course, such address to Muhammad is directed to all Quran-believers in all eras and locations; we are to utter the word of peace even to our aggressive foes: "The servants of the Merciful are those who walk the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace."" (25:63). "And when they hear vain talk, they avoid it, and say, "We have our deeds, and you have your deeds; peace be upon you…" (28:55). Hence, God commands all true believers – and that excludes hypocrites and infidels, especially the Wahabi terrorist MB and Salafists – to pardon those who disbelieve in God and the Last Day: "Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not hope for the Days of God. He will fully recompense people for whatever they have earned. Whoever does a good deed, it is for his soul; and whoever commits evil, it is against it; then to your Lord you will be returned." (45:14-15). This means that all people must tolerate and pardon one another and wait for God's judgment on each one of human beings in the Day of Judgment. This contradicts those who play the role of God on earth and utter verdicts against their foes in creed by sentencing them to death, and such role-players dare to claim they are Muslims! What shame! They have insulted Islam (the Quran) by their disgraceful court sentence.  

6- This high moralistic attitude of responding to verbal aggressors  by peace and tolerance (apart from physical aggression and tangible harm that must be fought against by all means) has nothing to do with violence and death sentences. Enemies that fight the innocent peaceful ones must be fought as self-defense is allowed in both human laws and divine sharia in the Quran. The high moralistic attitude of pardoning and ignoring verbal abuse is a main part of real Islamic sharia found exclusively in the Quran, the book rejected and overlooked by terrorist Wahabi MB members and Salafists. Islam advocates justice and charity: "God commands justice and charity…" (16:90). Justice in cases of physical aggression is certainly retribution, but charity is even a higher value: to pardon aggressors to seek God's reward, as God dislikes the unjust ones: "The repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it. But whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, his reward lies with God. He does not like the unjust." (42:40). God has ordered Muhammad to pardon his detractors, as this is the better way to stop evil: "Repel evil by what is better. We are aware of what they describe." (23:96). This high moral level is never attained unless by those who are  very pious and devout by adhering only to the Quran: the only Sunna of Muhammad's behavior during his lifetime: "And who is better in speech than someone who calls to God, and acts with integrity, and says, "I am of those who submit"? Good and evil are not equal. Repel evil with good, and the person who was your enemy becomes like an intimate friend. But none will attain it except those who persevere, and none will attain it except the very fortunate." (41:33-35). When we treat aggressors kindly and charitably, the aggressive foe would feel disgraced and ashamed and reconciliation would be possible.   

Lastly:

1- As we write this article, we read news that Morsi, the MB president of Egypt, has declared that 15^th of Dec. 2012 as the date of referendum over the MB-flavored constitution written mostly by MB members to be imposed on free Egyptians who oppose the terrorist MB rule. This corrupt constitution makes Wahabism the source of Egyptian legislation, as imposed by Morsi the tyrant, who deceives gullible citizens using the name of Islam. Shame on him!

2- Will the Quranists be the only ones on earth to intellectually face and refute the ideology of terrorist Wahabis: Saudis, Salafists, and MB members?

3- Is there a sense of shame left?!
