    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.

        I'm ok for people to label me "ANYTHING"...

        "What's in a name?That which we call a quranist/muslim/godaloner"
        "By any other name would smell as sweet."

        Usually once asked I usually answered "I'm a non sectarian"..

        Salam / Peace

            Why the lower case 'm'? To refer to it as its meaning rather than its use as a symbol? In that case we should perhaps be calling ourselves 'peacemakers' with a lower case 'p' when speaking English p

                Peace to everyone

                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.

                    I second that "People of the Quran". yes

                      There is an abundant source of articles about Quranism and Quranists on Quranists Network

                      And here is a brand new blog post about submitters and quranists
