This Is Islam Uncovered

📚 Why the Qur’an Wasn’t Enough

A Religion That Needed 6 Books to Explain One

🧭 Introduction: A Claim That Can’t Hold

Muslims are told the Qur’an is:

❝ A guidance for mankind... fully detailed... a book made clear... ❞
— Qur’an 2:185, 6:114, 41:3

The claim?

The Qur’an is complete, perfect, and sufficient on its own.

But here’s the problem:

If that were true, then Islam wouldn’t need six massive Hadith collections just to function.

Yet that’s exactly what happened.

The Qur’an was never enough.
And Islam, as practiced today, relies more on Bukhari than the actual Qur’an.

📖 What the Qur’an Claims About Itself

“And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things...”
— Surah 16:89

“A Book whose verses are explained in detail…”
— Surah 41:3

“We have not neglected in the Book a thing.”
— Surah 6:38

Okay. So no gaps, right?

Let’s test that.

🔍 Here’s What the Qur’an Doesn’t Explain

❌ How to pray (number of raka’at, what to say, when)
❌ How to perform ablution in full detail
❌ The punishment for apostasy
❌ The definition of Sunnah
❌ How to conduct Hajj rituals in detail
❌ Inheritance calculations (requires complex interpretive rulings)
❌ Who can narrate hadiths, and how to verify them
❌ Which verses are abrogated (the Qur’an never lists them)

So what filled in all those gaps?

Six Hadith books, thousands of narrations, and 200 years of post-Muhammad guesswork.

📚 The “Sahih 6” – The Real Canon of Islam

These are the actual books that Muslims rely on more than the Qur’an:

Sahih Bukhari
Sahih Muslim
Sunan Abu Dawud
Jami’ at-Tirmidhi
Sunan al-Nasa’i
Sunan Ibn Majah

Together they:

Explain the Qur’an’s vague verses
Define rituals the Qur’an never laid out
Provide legal rulings not found in the Qur’an
Add teachings that sometimes contradict the Qur’an

So much for “nothing was neglected.”

🧠 The Core Argument

Let’s put this into a formal structure:

🔹 Premise 1:

The Qur’an claims to be clear, complete, and sufficient.

🔹 Premise 2:

Islamic practice requires:

Hadiths
Tafsirs
Fiqh manuals
Scholarly consensus

To understand and apply basic teachings.

🔹 Premise 3:

Most Islamic rulings cannot be derived from the Qur’an alone.

✅ Conclusion:

The Qur’an is not clear, not complete, and not sufficient.

It fails its own standard.

🔥 Why This Destroys the Qur’an’s Authority

If a book claims to be:

The final revelation,
Sufficient for all mankind,
Clarifying all things…

…then it shouldn’t require 6 auxiliary books to function.

And it definitely shouldn’t need narrations that:

Come 200 years later,
Contradict each other,
Are unverifiable,
And must be "graded" like exam papers.

🧨 The Big Question Muslims Can’t Answer:

❓ If the Qur’an is so clear, then why do Muslims:

Quote Bukhari more than the Qur’an?

Depend on Hadiths to pray?

Need tafsir to explain every other verse?

Still disagree on basic legal rulings?

It’s because the Qur’an wasn’t enough — not then, not now.

🚨 What This Proves

A real divine book wouldn’t need a human commentary collection to survive.
A true prophet wouldn’t leave behind a message that needs patching.
A clear revelation doesn’t require 6 add-on volumes and 1400 years of interpretation.

What does?

A man-made system pretending to be divine — and falling apart under its own claims.

💬 Mic-Drop Closer:

“If the Qur’an was truly complete, Bukhari would be irrelevant.
But if Bukhari is essential, the Qur’an isn’t enough.
And if the final revelation wasn’t enough…
It wasn’t from God.”
