Quranism sect? Are we "Quranists"?
-
When people ask me what I am, I give the answer "peacemaker, truth seeker". Simple and straight to the point.
When we talk to others it's best to use clear language that nobody disagrees on. Everyone knows "2+2=4" but if you say for instance "Muslim" then there is separation and preconceptions are involved. Likewise if you say "quranist", then you'll be asked "what is a quranist" and so many questions will follow. At the end of it, all you are trying to convey is that you are a seeker of peace, truth and surrender to the creator.

Quran identifies the persons who were guided by Jesus as the "people of the gospel" in Al Quran 547. So can it be wrong if persons who are guided by the Quran being called in a similar manner just as they may be known as submitter to God , peace maker or truth seeker ?

I think the issue isn't the label itself but that people then go on to say "Quranists do this" and "Quranists do that". "People of the quran" would be the appropriate term here and there are a lot of those.
