Salam.
Hope your all blessed.Well as i've told you before Im a somali and i tried joined this forum with others somalis to try and
explain to them different things aout Islam based on the quran. BOY THEY DID NOT LIKE THAT nope
I added a thread about how i thought wearing an hijab was nothing to do with islam.
They said pretty harsh things to me and kinda went off topic, Im not gonna lie they did
hurt my feelings, its anonying how people can be so ignorant and cant face the truth.I can't blame to be honest, its probably hard for them to understand the real islam because they kinda
realise how easy and relaxing islam is based on the quran, because its a big change for them.
It was like that to me aswell, when i started to study quran alot.
When all my friends would be going on out partying, hanging out and that, I would be at home
trying to connect with god and forgive me and understand the quran.But from now on, I dont think i will try and 'talk' or 'explain' things based on quran to people
like the sunnis and shias because they cant face the truth.Although my Mom and her family are like that, I dont have the courage to tell them because
they would think im going mad or something.I hope god will help us and help other people. yuck
Narma.

Salaam, Narma,
Yes, you may put on yourself an enormous burden tRying to make people see.
Take it easy. Do not confront them straight on. Just say what the Quran says on whatever you are talking about and that the first thing is the Quran, without entering into long polemics. The important thing is that you keep saying that over the weeks, the months, the years... and and that you keep your peace of spirit. You cannot learn for them, you cannot believe for them, you cannot givethem too big a dosis of truth which they cannot digest. Let drops of nourishment keep coming from you without drowning or overwhelming anybody. Leave them time and space and keep it also for yourself, and rely on God. Eventually, those who want to see, will see, even if your are not there any more to see it.
Salaam

Peace,
Respectfully.I love the fact that you have the courage to research on your own.
I would do this, if i were you just read the Quran and whenever they ask you something about Islam, Muslims, Quran, quote God.I do it.
They always ask me, how do i pray.
I print them pages from thwe Quran and when i give them, they throw it away or turn their backs on me. Remember? JUst like God say in the Quran. They turn their backs.When they ask me what do i say in the Quran, i qutote the Quran,
7320 Your Lord knows that you rise a little less than two thirds of the night, and half of it, and one third of it, as well as a group of those who are with you. And God measures the night and the day. He knows that you will not be able to keep-up, so He pardons you. So read what is made easy of the Qur?an. He knows that there will be sick among you, and others that go forth in the land seeking from God?s bounty, and others who are fighting in the cause of God, so read what you can of it. And uphold the communion and contribute towards betterment and give God a loan of righteousness. And whatever you put forth yourselves, you will find it with God, for it is better and a greater reward. And seek God?s forgiveness, for God is Forgiving, Merciful.Whatever they ask me, i always quote the Quran, but when i start quoting the Quran, God's words, they always, always, ALWAYS, run away, in literal sense and one guy by the name Muhammad tells me, not to tell him Quran when i tried to answer his question.
Need i say more?
Trust God, dear sister, God has the best plan for us, Trust God and rely on Him always.
God bless you, sister.
Kep up the prayer and read the Quran everyday.
You'll memorise it easier, God willing.Peace.

When i first found Islam based on Quran alone, i started to speak to people about the Quranic verses, and told them that the religions had been corrupted, even Islam had been changed. And that the only thing which wasnt changed was the Quran. I only discussed with non-muslims dough, because i had read in a psychology book that we should never reveal all our true beliefs to people from the same faith. For instance the book said that if someone is a firm believer of something, you must never throw the truth in their face by revealing your own beliefs. Because by doing that they will think you are dissrespecting their belief system/religion, and most people can't stand that. Further the book said that we can tell people about our true beliefs, but only our family, and sometimes we shouldn't even tell our own family. The book said that it is no point in revealing our truth beliefs, cause people don't see the world through our eyes. Most people are brainwashed by the society, their parents, their teachers, therefore it will be a shock for them if we suddenly wan't to show them that all they believe is wrong. Most people can't think outside the box. Most people live in the "matrix of the society" if you know what that means. Blind followers of faith and ideologies can sometimes even be dangerous, and start to attack us if we tell them the truth. The truth hurts you know...
Until today, i haven't told any sunni or shia-muslim about my true beliefs when it comes to deen Islam. When muslims ask me what i believe, i just tell them that i strongly believe in God (Have a strong Imaan), do good deeds, try to be as moral as possible, and follow justice, truth, peace and guard myself against evil. Thats all. Many people might then further ask, are you a muslim? Then i say to them, yes, i am a muslim, but i am a believing muslim, not a religious muslim. That means that i follow the most important rules in islam, but don't follow rituals or all the other rules which you other muslims follow. If people start to ask more, i say, my faith is what it is, religion is personal, and Only god can judge me. I don't think there is any point in giving huge ammounts of truth to people, cause they can't swallow it. Starting to suddenly tell our friends lots of stuff about how islam is corrupted etc, would make them angry and even make them to become enemies to us. Its just like giving a baby food, if we give a baby lots of food it will choke him. A baby can only handle and swallow a certain ammount of food (little food) each time.
I have many sunni-muslim friends, but none of them know my true beliefs about Islam. Why should they know it? They won't understand it anyway, or just think im crazy. From my life experience, always telling our true beliefs our opinions to people would just hurt our relationships with them. I know that if i don't tell the sunnies and shias about my truth beliefs, i can continue staying friends with them. Telling the truth can have bad consequences sometimes.
All people telling the truth in our history was regarded as crazy or misguided. When galileo galilei told people that the earth was round, and not flat, many christians thinked he was crazy, and some even wanted to murder. They wanted to murder him, cause his beliefs about the earth being round, threathened the old beliefs of christianity.
Anyway, i have reached the conclusion that the best way to teach something to someone is to just give them small doses of truth/information, then let them decide for themselves. Only time will tell if they will believe in it or not. We should only be guiders to the truth, not throw the truth in front of them. The best way to catch a fish is to throw a bait in the water, and let the fish find the bait itself then catch it, not to swim after the fish to catch it. If we swim after the fish, it will be almost impossible to catch it, since it sees us a threat. The same is with the truth we should just drop small truths each time, and let people catch the truths themselves, just like the fish catches the bait itself. lol... By other words we should not force anything on people, or tell them we are right. Things doesn't work that way. They will see us and our beliefs as a threat to their beliefs. Today the only people that knows my true beliefs are my mother and my little brother. Both of them accept that hadiths are not a part of Islam, however they don't fully understand my belief system, and they don't want to read the Quran to learn more about the deen/system i am following. I have not told my father about my inner beliefs because i know he will think i am misguided an a kafir if i tell him that. unfortunately he is close minded when it comes to religion, so their is no point in telling him my inner beliefs. One friend of mine used to sayWhy should we tell people stuff about ourselves if they don't ask? Thats stupid. Sometimes we even shouldn't tell people about things they ask, cause many things are personal and non of their business. He further said, like for example someone ask you about how much money you have in your bank. If you tell them the truth, they will become jealous. They will become jealous since you have a lots of money, while they can't use all their money and havent even saved 100 dollars. So whats the point of telling them the truth when we know they won't understand us and become jealous anyway? Therefore we shouldn't tell them about the money we have saved in our bank account. We should just tell them that we have saved money in our bank account, but how much money we have saved is unimportant/irrelevant and personal.
I totally agree with the approach used and what he said about this matter seem very reasonable. I have learned a lot from guys like him. Today i only follow Quran, and hope that my friends and family one day will find the truth. However, i think its to late for my parents. My parents are content with their belief system, and will probably never find the truth (Islam by quran alone). But i hope my brother one day will embrace Islam, and that he will follow Quran alone.
I have decided to only let God guide people. Because we can not guide those we love, or our friends and family. We can not guide humans. Only god can guide human beings
Quran 2856 You cannot guide whom you love. But it is God who guides whom He wills; and He is fully aware of those who receive the guidance.
Quran 488 What is the matter with you that you are divided into two groups over the hypocrites, while God has regressed them for what they have earned? Do you want to guide those whom God misguides? Whoever God causes to be misguided, you will never find for him a way.
Quran 2272 You are not responsible for their guidance, but it is God who will guide whoever He wishes. And whatever you spend out of goodness is for your own souls.
Yours sincerely

That was very well said David. I very much agree.
Being a former Jew and living in the typical mostly white middle class American suburban community, I don't see any benefit to share my beliefs with someone unless I am asked so it very rarely comes up. It seems to me, most people are so caught up with their work, families, and pleasure seeking activities they barely think about God. I am raising my children as best I can under these conditions so they do not feel ostrisized by their friends.
There is only one Mosque in my area, I went to confirm my suspicion that they believed in hadith which they did. I did not get to speak to the Imam and perhaps will go back to see where he stands. But for now...this forum and the friends I've made around the world are the only believing community I have.
When I divulged to my father my belief (Islam through Quran alone) 14 years ago, it changed our relationship forever. In order to get on with our lives and have a relationship at all, the top of religion is off the table and is not discussed. I total get what God means by 'Choosing the difficult path'. I always look forward to friendly discussions about religion with people of different belief systems. You never know when someone will see the truth. But like David, I find, keeping my beliefs to myself unless asked is a much easier way to go.
Peace and Blessings

Thank you very much, all of you.
I'm very grateful to that Allah has guided me here. Im honestly dreading the day I probably will have to
tell my family that I only believe in the quran, cos i love them very much but its hard knowing that I
want to fulfil my ambition knowing that my mum wouldn't like it and adding onto that i only follow the
quran alone. She woulnd't undertand. -[I remember clearly the night i was crying cos i was just so conused about islam. Certain things just didn't
make any sense to me at all. And i asked god to guide me and that, The next i just did loads of research
and landed here, and im still not done. I don't know enough about the things in the quran.
But then again im 17, hopefully I still have a while to figure things out.I appriciate you guys very much for helping me out. I agree with you 'I believe' that in these forums is
where i can be the real me. peaceMay allah bless you.

Salaam Narma ;D
I am Somali as well so I can understand why family and friends might find your beliefs hard to digest. I remember when I first stumbled on this website 7 months ago and read many of the articles here. I began to talk about it with some of my Somali friends and they thought it seemed a little odd. One friend abruptly told me that hadiths were just as important as Quran, so I decided not to talk about reliability of hadiths and Quran alone with friends anymore. In the end I stayed a Sunni anyway and I'm quite happy in my beliefs, so I'm glad I didn't tell my parents because they would have been furious that I was even considering the rejection of hadiths.I would advise you not to tell your mum what your beliefs are regarding rejection of hadiths. They are your personal beliefs and they are likely to change over time. Study the Quran and look at all sides of the argument. Get the fuller picture.

Peace Bubbles
To claim that hadiths are just as important as Quran is Shirk. I have muslim-friends that believe this too. Some muslims even go further by claiming that 1/10 of the knowledge is in Quran, while the rest 9/10 of the knowledge in Islam is in the Hadith-collections. That means that what the hadiths say are more important for them than what the Quran says. Sad, but true.
I have an article about the History of Hadiths that i think might interest you. A friend in deen wrote it originally, so he should get the most credit for it. Anyway, i changed it by adding some personal opinions + more facts. Scroll down to the end of thread to read it. The whole article is in my post in the end of the thread in the link below

I don't think it would fair to call that view Shirk to be honest. Its their perspective and they have their reasons for believing in it. The Quran isn't an encyclopedia and it doesn't have every last detail listed in it, the hadiths are a lot larger and greater in volume so they contain a lot of details about the historical context that the Quran was revealed in. Sunni scholars hold the view that the Quran is above the hadiths in terms of religious authority anyway though.

DavidYour article dwells on the fact that the collectors of much of the hadith literature were born 200 years after Muhammed and were Persian. Firstly their ethnicity or place of birth is irrelevant. They were scholars who spent time searching through the many alledged sayings of Muhammed and they collected those that they believed were authentic. Many of the scholars of today have checked though Bukhari and other collections and have deemed Bukhari and Muslim the most reliable. Have a look at this http//www.islamic-awareness.org/Hadith/Ulum/
In addition your article mentions the date of hijra and the time of Muhammeds death, however these are details that are only known due to historical sources mainly through biographies of Muhammed and hadiths.
You mentioned that scholars say that hadiths are divine, well that simply not true. They believe that they are sayings attributed to Muhammed and sources for religious injunctions. Thats it. Shias especially don't view any of the hadiths as 100% authentic, although they see some hadiths as rather reliable so can be used for Islamic law.

Using the Hadith for further clarification of God's message is shirk. It should not be turned to as a substitute for the Qur'an nor as extra guidance, God's word is sufficient. Allowing people to dictate your religion when God is giving you clear dictation is clear partnership or outright replacement = shirk. It is okay to make laws and say they are our laws on Earth as long as they don't violate the Qur'an's clear guidelines. It is another thing to write rules and then tell people they're going to go to hell if they do not obey your man made rules. It is a man-made collection of verses and conjecture. The Qur'an is not an encyclopedia, YOU think we know all God knows?! If God were to write all his knowledge of the Universe, could they conceive any of it at that time? Would they conceive any of it now? God made the message simple, and clear for all time and it contains all that was necessary contain. To argue otherwise when you are a believer is calling God a liar and that he cannot explain his message clearly to his own creation. Do you know how that sounds? God's knowledge far outweighs ours so expecting an encyclopedia from God is arrogant as if we can comprehend all of God's knowledge...
Just because the hadith are larger and in greater volume they should be respected? Surely if there were less of them and they DIDNT contradict and they weren't superstitious, sexist, filled with falsehood and politically influenced they would be better. But no they are this way, they are not adding any clarity to the system of Islam, they add more rules and complexity to the purity of God's system and making it unpallatable to many people who would convert if they weren't confronted with Hadith. The system of Islam is very easy and straight-forward but mankind was created anxious, he always wants rules, endless guidelines, reams of how to go to the toilet, how to have sex, how to eat, how to walk, how to talk, so this Hadith is collection of man's desire to make laws to restrict people endlessly and needlessly. Follow it if you do not have faith that GOD is sufficient, follow it if you think Man's word can abrogate the Qur'an (stoning adulterers), follow it if you want to rejoice in other names mentioned alongside God (Prophet Mohammed) and flee when God's name alone is mentioned. Follow it if you want to get lost in conjecture, a useless science that does not have any basis apart from SUPPOSED deeds that Mohammed did. WHO GAVE BUKHARI AUTHORITY? WHO'S AUTHORITY IS ABOVE GOD's? Bukhari is a fallible human who came from spilt out fluid. God was not created, God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing see the difference? God's light is eternal, all falsehood will pass away.

Quran 6114
?Shall I seek other than God as a judge when He has sent down to you this Scripture fully detailed??Quran 111
A.L.R, a Scripture whose verses have been made governing, then detailed, from One who is Wise, Expert.Quran 413

I think the ethnicity and place of birth is of Absolute Importance. The ethicity of the scholars tells us that bukhari and Co were persians. Do you realize what this means? As we know, at the time when Bukhari and Co lived in Iran, The Zoroastrian-religion was still an important religion in Iran. This explains why Zoroastrian-religion and its teachings had a big influence on Hadiths and Sunni-Islam. For example the Ritual prayer in Sunni and Shia-Islam is copied from the Zoroastrianism.
The Ritual Prayer in Zorostrianism is almost exactly identical with the Ritual Prayer of Sunni-muslims

Bubbles, did you know that the law of Stoning in muslim countries comes from Sharia laws based on hadith?
Quran actually rejects stoning. The stoning practice is a gravesin that comes from th false sharia. Stoning of adulterers is never mentioned in Quran, not even in one versehttp//progressivemuslims.org/sub/stoning.htm
After reading different hadiths, i have found a bunch of so-called Sahih-hadiths that tells us lies about our prophet. The hadiths below tells us that Prophet Muhammed used Stoning as punishment on people. These hadiths are off course lies and fabrications attributed to our Prophet. However, they are all in the Sahih-Collections.
Stoning/muderering those that have sex outside marriage in the Sahih-Hadith collections

Using the Hadith for further clarification of God's message is shirk.
You do realise that every muslim, including those that reject hadiths often use other sources for clarification of the Quran, whether it be dictionaries or by asking other people what they understand a certain verse to mean. When the followers of Muhammed didn't understand some of the verses in the Quran, Muhammed explained it to them. Should I just ignore his explanations? How can it be Shirk to use Muhammed's sayings to understand the Quran.
It should not be turned to as a substitute for the Qur'an nor as extra guidance, God's word is sufficient. Allowing people to dictate your religion when God is giving you clear dictation is clear partnership or outright replacement = shirk. It is okay to make laws and say they are our laws on Earth as long as they don't violate the Qur'an's clear guidelines. It is another thing to write rules and then tell people they're going to go to hell if they do not obey your man made rules. It is a man-made collection of verses and conjecture.
You're right in saying that the hadiths were man-made, but the man that made them was Muhammed. My belief is that Muhammed is to be obeyed as well as the Quran. You believe that the hadith collections are unreliable and "conjecture". Perhaps some are fabricated, but scholars have already acknowledged this and have classed hadiths differently, from Sahiih to maudu3. Perhaps their method of judging the authenticity of hadiths isn't good enough for you, but it is good enough for me.
The Qur'an is not an encyclopedia, YOU think we know all God knows?! If God were to write all his knowledge of the Universe, could they conceive any of it at that time? Would they conceive any of it now? God made the message simple, and clear for all time and it contains all that was necessary contain.

God's knowledge far outweighs ours so expecting an encyclopedia from God is arrogant as if we can comprehend all of God's knowledge...
I didn't claim that God should have revealed an encyclopedia. Its just the fact that He didn't, which is why knowledge of many matters need to be found through other mediums. God could have mentioned the structure of atoms and the details of the Big Bang, but the Quran would be never ending so I can understand why. I gain guidance and understanding from theologians, scientists, Prophet Muhammed and most of all the Quran.
Just because the hadith are larger and in greater volume they should be respected? Surely if there were less of them and they DIDNT contradict and they weren't superstitious, sexist, filled with falsehood and politically influenced they would be better. But no they are this way, they are not adding any clarity to the system of Islam, they add more rules and complexity to the purity of God's system and making it unpallatable to many people who would convert if they weren't confronted with Hadith.
When did I say hadith collections demand more respect because of their volume?
Perhaps some hadiths are strange to some, but that isn't reason enough for me to reject them in their entirety. They are a valuable source on the life and times of Muhammed.The system of Islam is very easy and straight-forward but mankind was created anxious, he always wants rules, endless guidelines, reams of how to go to the toilet, how to have sex, how to eat, how to walk, how to talk, so this Hadith is collection of man's desire to make laws to restrict people endlessly and needlessly. Follow it if you do not have faith that GOD is sufficient, follow it if you think Man's word can abrogate the Qur'an (stoning adulterers), follow it if you want to rejoice in other names mentioned alongside God (Prophet Mohammed) and flee when God's name alone is mentioned.
There aren't any rules in Ahlus Sunnah on how one must go toilet, have sex, eat, walk or talk.
I do have faith that God is sufficient. I also believe God gave us the Quran and Muhammed as a gift, so I listen to their guidance.
I don't see Muhammed as being alongside or equal to God, just like I don't see the Quran as being alongside or equal to God. I'm assuming you have a disliking for Muhammed being mentioned in shahada; Muslims should believe that there is only one God and Muhammed is his messenger in their heart, so what is wrong with saying it out loud in shahada?Follow it if you want to get lost in conjecture, a useless science that does not have any basis apart from SUPPOSED deeds that Mohammed did. WHO GAVE BUKHARI AUTHORITY? WHO'S AUTHORITY IS ABOVE GOD's? Bukhari is a fallible human who came from spilt out fluid. God was not created, God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing see the difference? God's light is eternal, all falsehood will pass away.
Imam Bukhari was simply a man who collected hadiths and he studied their line of transmission in great detail. He then wrote down those that he thought were authentic. He may have been wrong on some, which is why scholars after him have also studied the transmission of hadiths and Bukhari's collection is seen as the most reliable. He has no more authority than any of the other scholars, and definitely no more authority than the Quran or Muhammed.

That may very well be the case, but that doesn't mean that spiritual guidance can't be sought elsewhere also. That is where Muhammed's teachings come in for me.

So what if the Zoroastrian way of praying is similar? That doesn't mean Bukhari just copied it from them and then convinced the rest of the Muslims to change their way of Salaat, which is something that they've been doing for 200 years before Bukhari. The prostration and bowing part is mentioned in the Quran and has been done as a form of worship for centuries before the Quran. Its nothing new.

Stoning was probably used as a punishment in Muhammed's time and I don't have a huge problem with the kind of punishments that they used considering their social and cultural context.

Wow Bubbles! Seems to me you place a lot of trust in Bukari and Co. Let's be clear that the hadiths are attributed to Muhammad. There is no way we know Muhammad uttered the things that are in the hadiths. What if I came to you and said "Prophet Muhammad said if your nick is Bubbles you are going to hell" heard by <insert name> on the authority of <insert name> narrated by Abu Huraira. Will you believe me? By your reasoning, you would because all people who have met me think I am an upright and righteous person. You do not know me but you would are relying on other people's judgement who you have never met either! Hope this makes you reflect.
