Why do people put Hadiths in equal level to Quran?

Putting Hadiths at the level of the Quran is wrong. There is no doubt about it.

However, the information and argument you have produced are,

a) NON-FACTUAL such as "gap of 200 years in collecting Hadiths."

b) MISUNDERSTOOD such as "Fa be ay hadithen ..."

c) IRRELEVANT such as "mosque shakes from the people yelling PBUH."

If Mohammad was illiterate, as many claim he was, he couldn't possibly have known if what he said was what was actually written down. Also, there's evidence that the koran has been changed over the years, so no one can possibly know what Mohammad actually said. Add to that the fact that there's no evidence that any god exists, and there's no reason to believe a word of it.

The Koran Unveiled

http://secweb.infidels.org/?kiosk=articles&id=761

[Excerpt]

"During restorations of the Great Mosque at Sana'a in 1972, Koranic texts from the seventh and eighth century (the Yemeni fragments) were found, revealing earlier versions of the Koran. In places, the text even shows traces of a previous text which was erased before the final text was written over it. Evidence is mounting that the Koran was written and edited over time. ..."

Querying the Koran

Orthodox Muslims believe that this ancient Islamic text is

the unchanging Word of God. One scholar is daring to question it

http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2000/aug/08/hi...

[Excerpt]

"Until now, there were three ancient copies of the Koran. One copy in the Library of Tashkent in Uzbekistan, and another in the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, date from the eighth century. A copy preserved in the British Library in London, known as the Ma'il manuscript, dates from the late seventh century. But the Sa'na manuscripts are even older. Moreover, the Sa'na manuscripts are written in a script that originates from the Hijaz - the region of Arabia where the prophet Mohammed lived, which makes them not only the oldest to have survived, but one of the earliest copies of the Koran ever.

"Puin noticed minor textual variations, unconventional ordering of the chapters (surahs), as well as rare styles of orthography. Then he noticed that the sheets were palimpsests - manuscripts with versions written even earlier that had been washed off or erased.

"These findings led Dr Puin to assert that the Koran had undergone a textual evolution. In other words, the copy of the Koran that we have is not the one believed to have been revealed to the prophet."

What is the Koran?

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/199901/koran

[Excerpt]

Since the early 1980s more than 15,000 sheets of the Yemeni Korans have painstakingly been flattened, cleaned, treated, sorted, and assembled; they now sit ("preserved for another thousand years," Puin says) in Yemen's House of Manuscripts, awaiting detailed examination. That is something the Yemeni authorities have seemed reluctant to allow, however. "They want to keep this thing low-profile, as we do too, although for different reasons," Puin explains. "They don't want attention drawn to the fact that there are Germans and others working on the Korans. They don't want it made public that there is work being done at all, since the Muslim position is that everything that needs to be said about the Koran's history was said a thousand years ago."

Firstly:

It is essential that it be established in the mind and heart of every Muslim that the Sunnah – which is the words, deeds and approval that are attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – is one of the two parts of divine Revelation that were revealed to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The other part of the Revelation (Wahy) is the Holy Qur’aan.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Nor does he speak of (his own) desire.

4. It is only a Revelation revealed”

[al-Najm 53:3-4]

It was narrated from al-Miqdaam ibn Ma’di Yakrib (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Verily I have been given the Qur’aan and something similar to it along with it. But soon there will be a time when a man will be reclining on his couch with a full stomach, and he will say, ‘You should adhere to this Qur’aan: what you find that it says is permissible, take it as permissible, and what you find it says is forbidden, take it as forbidden.’ But indeed, whatever the Messenger of Allaah forbids is like what Allaah forbids.”

If you really question the ahadeeth then I suggest you read into the sciences of it and understand more about how they are classified and the authenticity of them.

A good author and scholar in this matter is Shiekh Yasir Qadhi. Feel free to search and read his books on these topics inshaAllah.

@ASKER; I don't believe that you dared to call the companion of the Prophet, pbuh, a liar. You do not have any sound or logical explanation for your accusation of Abu Huraira (R) and to make matters worse,... we are still in Ramadan and you spread lies....

59:7 That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His messenger from the people of the townships, it is for Allah and His messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.

33: 21Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much.
