I think ALLAH hates me for this

Salaam!

Btw,
I agree that it doesn't matter how you pray as long as you fulfill the required acts. Personally I pray similar to how traditional Muslims pray, except I don't recite Durood and I end prayer with prostration and the words Alhamdulillahi Rab il Alameen (1010). But I don't judge others who pray differently. There are wrong ways to pray, but there is no one right way. It's between you and Allah.

What are the requirements of Salat in Quran?

Do ablution (Wudu) first
Face the Qibla (although this may not even matter)
Commemorate God Alone
Recite from Quran
Stand, bow and prostrate

Peace.

WOW! How uncanny, that's precisely how I pray!

peace

Reading this is like a blast from the past.

My experience of this journey has led to this understanding

There has always been an unbroken chain of secret quran-only souls all the way through from beginning to end.

There have always been countless many seekers of Allah/Tao/YHWH/Brahman/" "
Again, an unbroken stream of sincere pure souls, seeking and teaching

The best of teachers is The Light of the Heavens and Earth
and it may help to have good company through this sincere pure kind souls who desire from you no reward

In this context I have found that Sahaja Yoga is a good place to start. Yoga, meditation, chi-gong, mantra. Do everything to anchor your Self into your Body and the rest will be so easy that every day you will wake up shining with the glory of The God before your eyes.

The journey can be fast or slow, all up to you. I was the type who wanted it yesterday and so The God gave it to me yesterday, now the Earth is spinning round and I feel like the rest of the world is catching up. But then also the realisation that everybody themselves has it yesterday and they may understand this should they seek!

The God has shaped your body to be infinite in many ways, yet limited by one thing time
Fear will be released with firm knowledge, so look for the moments where everything claps and clicks into place. There you shall find your Rabb speaking, through the people, listen to the signs of your Rabb and trust it will be fine.

A lot of us are on this forum "on the other side" where it has become manifestly clear and we have entirely broken out of the matrix and are now finding truly our place on the Earth and in the cosmos. Let us all carry you through the Divided Sea, by the leave of The Light of the Heavens and Earth jedi

Peace be upon you, kind soul, forever and ever

Salam My Beautiful Sisters&brothers

So it been almost a month on my spiritual journey and my Quran only view i have got to say i'm very lonely
My parents don't believe what i say and they call me crazy they ask me why are a millions of Muslims doing the same thing if is bad
I try to explain is tradition not religion i know Allah is the truth and i asked for this from him. I cried to him one night and told him
i want to connected With you Ya Allah i want to connected with you please make it easier for me

i want to find out the truth let me go on a journey on finding the Truth let my soul go on this spiritual journey where i connect with you my Lord and im going through this journey right now and is very hard. what if im wrong what if Allah wouldn't accept me and my way isn't right what if im transgressing i stop my traditional way i don't even know how to praise My lord anymore i read the Quran i try to seek more knowledge but i don't know how Allah want me to praise him i cried i begun to cry even more

i feel worthless i feel like i dont deserve Allah to love me because i dont know how to praise him and i dont want to be among those who made him angry i just feel really low right now and my parent think i already went crazy and lost it they say i need to get my head check and i need to go to a mental institution. It is hard im just some stranger like you sitting behind a screen and typing my sorrows away and seeking truth and knowledge i have abandon everything i knew and starting fresh is hard i went through this forum and read everything about salat and everyone has different interpretation about it and how many is it. this the most vulnerable i been behind a screen all i ask Allah is for guidance i asked him to guide me like he guided all the messengers i wish i knew someone who live close to me to talk about this i just wish i knew if Allah is proud of me just following the Quran Alone

Salam
Loveleen

I am not sure why many Quranist discuss these issues with parents and relatives. Seek knowledge is the best answer anyone can give you. There is no way to do salat. Even Sunni sources say the prophet prayed twice in Mecca and there was no specific way to pray when he was in Mecca. We have a very legalistic view of rituals. Anyways Allah is not going to make such judgments about you that easy. You will face trials and tribulations and you will face serious testing.

I think i know who you are and your father but just pray to god sister

I think you already have got very good answers. So I will say just this

God is directly so very close to you, He knows you so well, He made you, He chose you, He made you just as He wanted you to be, He thought up your destiny to go back to Him. You are safe, you were always safe, you will always be safe. Trust Him, trust him like dogs trust, never doubting, no matter how much they may have to wait or how much patience they may need. Do not distrust human kind, and particularly do not distrust yourself. With human kind we must be careful, cautious, because nything may come up. With ourselve also, we do not know how or when we may make complete fools out of ourselves, but no tmatter what, know that God loves you, He made you and you will go back to Him, nd ask Him for everything you need wor crave, and believe that God always answers, although His answer may have nothing todo with what we may have imagined it would be, but be sure that his answer will be the best one for you personally. You may think you have certain limits, but God knows better.

Do not distrust, do not dispair, be calm and joyous, you have every reason to. Even in the middle of the worst we have reason for that.

Assalaamu wa Alaikum,

I am so happy you are on a path seeking the Truth as well, Alhamdulillah. And may Allah bless all your endeavors. Just to give you another perspective on all of this, I will tell you that my situation was similar only that I come from a non-religious mostly atheist family, and I was an atheist myself before finding Islam. Your parents ask you why do you pray that way, mine ask why I pray at all. Haha, so it has been an extremely difficult process, and is ongoing. I just had a family reunion with the side of the family from the south who are all mostly fundamentalist Southern Baptist Christians, so that was interesting. Anyway the point is that you will be tested and will continue to be tested, as will everyone, so try to stay strong.

You are right about what you said to your mother. God gave you a brain for a reason, so use it and continue to seek the truth in the best manner you can. Don't worry about what others think, what is important is what Allah thinks of us. I hope the best for you and pray everything will turn out well, remember everything happens for a reason.

Salaam

P.S. Have you ever heard of Adnan Ibrahim, you and/or your parents might be interested in seeing some of his videos. Here is a link to one and you can explore from there. Happy Learning!
