Islamic reformation basically means changing verses from the Quran and words from the Hadith into something that suits what reformists believe Islam should be like at the moment. The idea means that Islamic scripture is up for debate and that it should change so that the controversial passages in Islamic doctrines are no longer in contradiction with modern beliefs.

Why is such a reformation a bad idea?

This is simply because Islam is a religion based on certain fundamentals upon which the entire Islamic religion is founded. One of these fundamentals is that Islam is a religion that its original sources of the Quran and The Hadith are directly inspired from the one and only creator of the Universe (Allah) into Muhammad The prophet of Islam. Muhammad directly received the Quran from God. Muhammad didn’t make it up from what he understood from God’s teachings, but Muhammad has literally received the Quran from God as is. Muhammad himself didn’t give himself the authority to change anything in the Quran, not even for the sake of clarification or the sole purpose of appealing to the ever growing Muslim converts. Muhammad taught his people that if he the prophet of Islam was to say anything in the name of God that God hasn’t actually said that this would mean that Muhammad Himself has betrayed the message that was sent by God through him to mankind. This would mean that Muhammad himself would be lying in the name of God and would deserve no mercy from God for such a sin. And that would mean that Muhammad himself is not a Muslim, because he would then either believe that what Allah hasn’t actually said was said by Allah when it wasn’t, and that means he would be considered by Allah to be a Muslim disbeliever or infidel, or he would then not believe that Allah has said what Allah has not said, and that is in Islam lying about the Message received from God by Muhammad, and that is a sin that means he is also no longer a Muslim because in Islam some sins lead to their sinner being expelled from the Islamic Religion and becoming an apostate even if the sinner himself or herself does not intend to leave the Islamic religion, and one of these things is hiding something from the Message received from God by the prophet of Islam, or changing something from the message received from God by the prophet of Islam. The prophet of Islam assured all Muslims that he didn’t do any of the above, and declared several times that he delivered the entire message of Islam from Allah to Muslims as exactly as he has received it from God, without adding or subtracting or changing anything in it at all.

If this is The case with the prophet of Islam himself, then how on earth is it expected to be different in the case of random Muslims in the 21st century or beyond?

If the prophet of Islam himself has not been given the authority to change anything in the Quran or the Hadith for any reason, how could the rest of Muslims be granted that authority over the Quran and the Hadith?

Also, to change the Quran and the Hadith means that the changed content of the Quran and/or the Hadith is no longer from Allah himself, but only from the person that has changed them.

Why would Muslims be interested in following what other Muslims say instead of what they believe Allah himself has said?

There is a big difference between Jesus might have not said those words that are in the Bible, but that doesn’t mean that Jesus is not what he claimed to be according to the fundamentals of Christianity, so Christians could take what might have been said by Jesus himself and leave what they don’t like, but in case of Islam, this means taking some of the words that were said by Allah, and leaving other words that has been said by Allah, because the entire Quran has been said by Allah and delivered to Muhammad as exactly as Allah has said it. If The Quran is from Allah then why leave some of it? If the Quran is not from Allah then why follow it at all?

If The Quran contains some verses that modern Muslims are reluctant to follow then why keep following the reformed Quran if the reformed Quran is not from Allah. And if the original Quran is from Allah himself then why bother changing it at all? Will a man made version of the Quran be better than the version that is made by Allah himself? If Allah’s words could be changed to the better by Muslims, then why bother follow the original Islamic religion in the first place?

One of the Fundamentals of Islam is that the Quran is from Allah as it is. If you change a verse or even a letter in the Quran then this is no longer the Quran that is from Allah, and so no Muslim is supposed to follow that Quran at all. Why would Muslims follow the reformed Quran? Muslims only follow the Quran because Muslims believe the Quran is literally the spoken word of God, delivered from Allah as it is to Muhammad the prophet of Islam for all Muslims to believe in it and follow it as it is until judgement day. If the Quran is changed by anyone Muslim or non-Muslim, the Quran is not longer the Quran that Muslims are supposed to follow and believe in. The Hadith is the word of the prophet of Islam inspired directly to the prophet of Islam by Allah, if any word in the Hadith changes by someone other than the prophet of Islam himself, it is no longer the Hadith that Muslims are supposed to believe in and follow because the only Hadith that Muslims are supposed to believe in and follow is the Hadith that was spoken by the prophet of Islam as inspired by Allah to the prophet of Islam.
