Quran:

The Table, the table spread

5:3
This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.


The text actually is a rambling about other issues, yet, the text has this extremely important fundamental cornerstone of Islam in it. If one reads the Quran, especially the end books, one easily comes to the conclusion that a verse, or ayat, can easily be singled out. One would think that "allah" the all supposed knowing, would single this critical point of the Islamic faith, but no, this false diety puts in some rambling ayat.

5:3 http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/QURAN/5.htm
. Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah. that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

This was in book five of the Quran. Not the beginning of mummu's "revelations" nor the end of mummu's revelations. Muslims are at strong odds over what this one sentence means. For some, it means that the Quran is all that is necessary, for the religion was/is perfected with the Quran --> this day. Others, the majority of muslims, say that you actually need the Sunnah, or the words/deeds/actions/life of the profit mummu. Many muslims are confused because the Quran is supposed to exist under the throne of allah. Why then the Sunnah? I have seen this as the number one "explanation":

the quran cannot detail every single action that a man must or must not do otherwise it would have been absolutely huge... however it is complete in that if you follow its rules then a sharia will be derived which CAN guide you in all actions.... part of this is obedience to the messenger *SaW* via his sunnah through the ahadith.....
My response:

This makes no sense. If they are both "equal" why the need to seperate? You post readily admits the Quran has LIMITS, thus imperfect. Or maybe I have it wrong and the quran and sunnah are not equal. If you need the sunnah, then why have a short quran?

Islam is wrong, and is the farthest thing from perfect.
