Quran Abrogations?  And can Quran and Hadiths Contradict?

As'salamu Alaikum,

Allah Almighty is not a deceiver.  He, however, does lead astray whom He decides to doom to Hell.  He does that but letting the doomed creation be as they want, and the Almighty sometimes even paves the way and/or helps the cursed ones to gain more and more power during their life to cause themselves to fail, and ultimately fall:

As to abrogation in the Glorious Quran, the very Noble Verse that you quoted proves there is no abrogation:

ماننسخ من اية او ننسها نات بخير منها او مثلها

"None of Our revelations do We abrogate ماننسخ من اية or cause to be forgotten او ننسها, We bring better than It نات بخير منها or a similar او مثلها" (The Glorious Quran, 2:106)

There is no "but We substitute".  It's a mistranslation of the English for Noble Verse 2:106

"مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهَا أَوْ مِثْلِهَا ۗ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?"

The accurate translation is:

"None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring better than It or a similar...." (2:106)

1-  The Glorious Quran has Laws that work for different situations.  They're not abrogations.  They're just different Laws for different situations.  Every single Noble Verse in the Quran stands.  No abrogations.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is a yapping ignorant, for that camp of ignorant can't even agree on which Verse abrogates which verse.  Nothing but conjecture and opinionated garbage.

The Glorious Quran had been perfectly preserved and is perfectly complete:

2-  The Glorious Quran substituted the previous Laws.  Example: The stoning of the adulterer and adulterous to death.  This is a Jewish Law for married people in the book of Deuteronomy.  The Glorious Quran substituted this with the 100 lashes Law for all situations of zina (adultery and fornication).  The Hadith of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, about stoning the married adulterer or adulterous was during the early days of Islam before the Revelation of the Noble Verses.  The Hadiths are NEVER above the Quran.  If they're both in contradiction, then it means:

(a)-  Either the Hadith was said during the early days of Islam, when Muslims used to get their Laws from the Jews:

‏16:43 وماارسلنا من قبلك الا رجالا نوحي اليهم فسألوا اهل الذكر ان كنتم لاتعلمون

[016:043]  And before thee (thee here is Muhammad) also the apostles We sent were but men, to whom We granted inspiration: if ye realise this not, ask of those who possess the Message فسألوا اهل الذكر.

Here the Prophet and the Believers were Commanded by Allah Almighty to go back to the Jews' Law if they were in doubt.  The Quran mentions two THIKRS (Laws):

1-  The Thikr الذكر of Moses.
2-  The Thikr الذكر of Muhammad.

There is no third Thikr.  When Islam's Thikr was incomplete, the Muslims were commanded to follow the previous Thikr for a while.  This is covered in details at:

(b)-  Or the hadith is a false lie on the mouth of the Prophet, or a misunderstanding:

I hope this helps, Insha'Allah.  Good points from you.
