Glad you use www.studyquran.org! Gives me a warm glow inside. May I ask what the other 3 translations you use/read are?

i use the yusuf ali, pickthall and shakir translations....the one with the side by side translations. so helpful that way when trying to understand something particular. i got use to reading it and still have it flow.peace

Something I ate 2 days ago was giving me a warm bubbling glow inside all day. I think I put to much spice into the spaghetti. eat
Welcome to the forum Farrah. You might want to study the quran at a comfortable pace and kind of peal away the layers of understanding as you become more attuned to the teachings of the quran.

Welcome to forum farrah and any other lurkers
It is always interesting to see how people find their way. I sometimes worry that new people will be exposed to an extereme and form of quran alone. But I know now that anybody that God wants to guide won't be mislead. In my day it was quite simple, in a way exciting, but now it's all about conspiracies.
The same way traditionalist tell you that Quran is difficult to understand in an effort to get you to accept their understanding. Some quranists will use the same tactics by drawing you in to arguments over word play and other techniques for which I have no words but the locals here no what I am talking about.
However, sometimes you have to take an exteremist approach, bounce between two exteremes to find the middle ground. Like when you go on a diet!
I think examples of the prophets show they initially cut themselves of from everything and slowly slowly found their way back in.
So to start with you completely abandon Bukhari & co and traditional thought, only then can unlock the Quran. Once you have studied it enough and have strong faith, you can approach other sources.
The Quran gives you tools and criteria by which to judge everything else. It gives you strength not to get hypnotised again by 1400 years best practice propoganda.
But remember, In your life you will find the answers to many of your questions among people you dislike and among the unlikeliest sources. They have been put their deliberately by God to test your tolerance and your faith. The following is a good example by you.
i finally got the courage to go to the local mosque and they have Quran classes there (and even though they will use hadiths i think it will still be very beneficial and educational) and they are willing to give me private arabic lessons. mashaallah they were very nice to me.
Keep increasing your knowledge - study everything as a subject and the only the quran as religion.
Since everyone is plugging their websites ....
