Today we are going to look at the secondary sources of Islamic doctrine. This is the main reason for this series, This secondary source is called the Sharia. This is the term for the sacred law of Allah. In Christianity, the only sacred law of God is found in the Bible. We don’t have secondary sources or other books that carry weight in our doctrine.

Every Muslim knows that the penalty for leaving Islam is death. In this broadcast we will look at what the Islamic scriptures have to say about apostacy, the treatment of Jews and Christians, and the credibility of the Sunnah.

Looking inside the Sunnah will help us understand what Islam is all about. Without looking at them, there is no way to understand why Muslims do what they do.

In our study of the Sources of Islamic Doctrine. We covered the Qur’an and now we want to look at the Sunnah. The Qur’an contains the words of their god, Allah, and the Sunnah is the words and acts of the Prophet, Muhammad. The Sunnah is a collection of the testimonies of the companions of Muhammad, what they saw him do and heard him say.

There was only one witness to the revelations from Allah, Muhammad, and he couldn’t write down what he heard. This causes real problems with the manuscript evidence for the Qur’an. There is no original Qur’an dating back to the time of Muhammad that has ever been found. It is also true that we do not have the original manuscripts of the Bible either. The difference is that Muslims claim they do.

There are, with in the Qur’an, three claims concerning how the Qur’an was revealed.

1. It was given to Muhammad in one night.

2. It was given to Muhammad during the month of Ramadan over 30 days.

3. It was given to Muhammad little bits over time.

When Muhammad received his first “revelations” from the jinn, he didn’t know whether it was a demon or an angel. He feared that his people would think he was demon possessed, and considered committing suicide.

The Qur'an is not the only source of Islamic doctrine. There are also the teachings of Muhammad, and his acts. These are called the Sunnah. The Qur'an is one book, while the Sunnah consists of nine books, in its abridged form.

Robert Spenser talks to us about Social media's, especially Facebook and Twitter, submitting to the pressure from Islam. They have become the censors of speech concerning the truth about Islam.
