Have you ever seen me explaining the Qur’an with the hadith books? Blaming all Muslims for using hadith books is silly.
[16.89] … and We have revealed the Book to you explaining clearly everything, and a guidance and mercy and good news for those who submit.
… ۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ تِبْيَـٰنًا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً
No more explanation needed. All the explanations are in the Qur’an for those who have open minds.
[17.89] And certainly We have explained for men in this Qur’an every kind of similitude, but most people do not consent to aught but denying.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا
[18.54] And certainly We have explained in this Qur’an every kind of example, and man is most of all given to contention.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَكْثَرَ شَىْءٍ جَدَلًا
All you have to do is study the Qur’an and understand the explanations in there. Don’t just close your mind to the Qur’an thinking that there are no explanations in there.

You are somewhat correct there. They should have believed in the verses of the Qur’an.
[45.6] These are the ayat (verses) of Allah which We recite to you with truth; then in what hadith would they believe after Allah and His verses?
تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱللَّهِ نَتْلُوهَا عَلَيْكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ وَءَايَـٰتِهِۦ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Islam was perfected by the Qur’an over 200 years before any hadith books came on the scene. That’s why you don’t see me quoting hadith books to explain Islam. I use the Qur’an, the Word of Allah, to back up my understanding of te Islamic faith.

No. You got it wrong about these Muslims. They do that not because the Qur’an doesn’t explain to them but they don’t understand what the Qur’an explains to them. The Qur’an is complete.

The Qur’an does lead one to an understanding of complete message of the Islamic faith. People are not studying the Qur’an. Big mistake. On the Day of Judgment, the messenger who delivered the Qur’an won’t be crying that his followers had forsaken the hadith books but forsaken the Qur’an.
[25.30] And the Messenger cried out: O my Lord! Surely my people have treated this Qur’an as a forsaken thing.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَـٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ مَهْجُورًا

Islam had developed completely by the message of the Qur’an. Many Muslims (not all) don’t understand this.
Islam was perfected with the last law revealed in the verse 5:3 of the Qur’an. I quote here the latter part of the verse here:
[5.3] … This day have those who disbelieve despaired of your religion, so fear them not, and fear Me. This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion; but whoever is compelled by hunger, not inclining wilfully to sin, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
… ٱلْيَوْمَ يَئِسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن دِينِكُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَٱخْشَوْنِ ۚ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمَ دِينًا ۚ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ فِى مَخْمَصَةٍ غَيْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لِّإِثْمٍ ۙ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
A perfected Islam doesn’t need to be perfected further with the hadith books from men 200 years later.

You can’t. In fact, the messenger had forbidden his companions to write anything that is from himself only. They were to write down only what was from God but delivered by the messenger (the Qur’an).

Here one must understand that nothing was to be added in the Words of God. Meaning, actual words of God. This is why the words in the Qur’an have not changed for the past 14 centuries.
We also know that the previous revelations were for the Bani Israel, who were trusted to guard explain them to the rest of the people. The Qur’an is for the whole mankind.

Pre-Qur’an scripts and texts are not for comparing with the Qur’an or the vice versa. The Taurat (given through Moses) was complete for the Children of Israel and the Qur’an is complete for the whole mankind.

I disagree.
That would be true only if all Muslims today say that the Qur’an is NOT complete guidance for them.

They can’t be right. Allah has explained the message of the Qur’an.
[16.89] … and We have revealed the Book to you explaining clearly everything, and a guidance and mercy and good news for those who submit.
وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ تِبْيَـٰنًا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ

You will have to deny the Qur’an 16:89 and, therefore, the Qur’an to justify your false understanding of the Islamic faith.

The Qur’an verifies what was revealed before the Qur’an. That is not comparing the revelations. There is a lot of truth in the previous texts/scripts but none exist since the Babylonian destruction and captivity.

100%. Read the Qur’an 5:3. Islam was perfected long before any hadith books came on the scene.

How did then the Qur’an survive for 200 years before the hadith books came on the scene? Muslims in those 200 years had only the Qur’an and the established sunnah of the prophet based on the Qur’an.
You need to study the Islamic faith and particularly the Qur’an to understand the points I am making here. Staying in the dark won’t help you in these discussions.

Both are wrong.
To practice Islam, you need the Qur’an and the sunnah of the prophet that is based on the Qur’an from the outset.
Hadith books came 200 years later. How did the prophet practice Islam without the hadith books for 22 years, and the companions for many more years without the hadith books?

No. The Qur’an is not incomplete. Only an ignorant person will say that the Qur’an is not complete.
The hadith books, even if they contextualize, add nothing more than what is already in the Qur’an. Perhaps dummies need the context to understand the Qur’an. That still doesn’t mean that there is no context in the Qur’an or the Qur’an is not complete.

You can’t compare anything to Islam. Islam has been perfected (5:3). It can’t be perfected further. ALHAMDULILLAH !

I knew you did not understand my point.
There are no scriptures already sent down by God that mention Issa was crucified or not. What you read about the crucifixion event is not from God but from certain men who were not even present at the time.

Allah tells us that they neither killed nor crucified Issa. There is no revelation before the Qur’an after the alleged crucifixion event that says Issa was crucified and killed on the cross. No revelation from God and no proof of Issa’s death on the cross. Nothing but conjecture until all was revealed through the Qur’an as verification from God.

Which scriptures were sent down from God after the crucifixion event? Through which messenger?

You are still trying to understand the Qur’an but unable to decide whether to approach it from back or from forth.

Allah told Muhammad that THEY KILLED HIM NOT NOR CRUCIFIED HIM. Is that hard for you to understand?

There hasn’t been any other revelation from God about the crucifixion event till the revelation of the Qur’an. It’s because there hasn’t been any messenger since Issa till Muhammad.

LOL !
Islam is clear: No crucifixion. End of the argument.
