          Salam Amanda,

          Thanks for sharing your story with us.

          I have read the whole thread. one thing Ansar and other sunni keep bringing it is the question of hadith validation. We are ALL agree the Hadith opposition existed long in history since prophet Muhammad (pbuh) death. Sects came into being because of using those hadith as SOURCE OF GUIDANCE and FOLLOW THEM BLINDLY. Now This issue is not new. As famous thinker Allama Gulam Ahmed Pervaiz did a research on Hadith and sect issues. I strongly encourage you check following website.

          http//www.tolueislam.com/Parwez/BA_Parwez.htm

          After conducting his reasearch on Quran and Hadith Books, he came to a conclusion that Hadith books cannot be used as source of guidance. The point is this movement of Quran/GOD ALONE is not NEW as claim by some. Think about it Hadith books that sunnis follow came into being about 200 or 250 years after Prohet death and during those years Islam is considered to have a golden Age. Transformation from Golden Age to Dark age begin to start as soon as people were forced to take Hadith as a source of Guidance. I just still don't understand How come sunni/Hadith Advoacte cannot see this?

          Now Once we eliminate Hadiths as a source of guidance, we have to solely depend on ONLY ONE SOUCE which is QURAN. I beleive if we all sinceraly follow the Allah Guidance through Quran, there will be no sect and whole world will be muslim because only Quranic principles can make our life perfect in this life and hereafter.

          I would say Let's Muslimize World.

          May Allah Give us true guidance.

          Best Regards
          Kashif

                salam

                hi this is amanda i wanted to thank you all for reading my thread and for your responses as well

                i have truly been blessed i feel for having all of you and for finally finding the truth

                when i first came to islam and then i elft because of obvious reasons i could not truly go back to christianity becasue i deep down had a feeling it was wrong it just didnt feel right to ehar people praying to jesus
                and even now i truly vould not go back to ritualism and meaningless conformity after i know the truth i just cant possibly find any logic in the sunnis or shias or any other sect of islam's mentality

                i found no logic in needed jesus for my salvation if god made jesus
                so i find no logic in needing muhammad or hadeeths or imams since god made these men

                God doesnt need us...we need him

                i find no logic in denying god's words that his book is complete

                when iu was a "fake" muslim (lol)
                i could talk all day with christinas about the trinity but they could talk in circles all day i still knew deep in my heart that god is one he didnt not need jesus to die for our slavation and god doesnt need "scholars" to explain or guide or prohibit things or clarify them

                if they say muhammad was illerate and he still managed to understand Gods words and message that was given to him why do we need any other person muhammad needed no one but god and none of the prophets needed anyone but god to explain his words or laws or ways so why do we as human beings need other than god like imamms or shekihs or whatever just becasue people were prophets does that mean they were some how different than us no i dont think so i think they were just lucky and recieved a message or book and made the right choice

                i love god and try my best to become better as much as i can
                i ask god to increase my knowledge and allow for as many souls to know the truth as god wills inshalalh

                may god bless all the submitters inshallah

                humbly yours
                amanda

                  Salaam Amanda,

                  salam

                  the heritage of bukhari menas alot becasue if u look at the religion of iranians before islam and see the similarities that are in existence in todays hadeth from him it almost mirrors zoroastrians religion which was irans religion before islam so i dont see how something from god would be copied from zoroastrians which were fire worshippers makes uthink was his ahdeeth infulenced from his beleif that he was raised with or perhaps his former beleif or contires beelifs infleunced him as to which hadeths to accept or reject

                  I have surfed the Internet but failed to find any connection between "Islamic" rituals that can be found in Bukhari and Zoroastrianism let alone similarities. Can you give me some examples from your own experience and also direct me to a site that speaks about such comparison in detail?

                  Thank you!

                  Taj

                    Taj ! Blind as a BAT!

                    Look at the zoroostrian salaat in the Salaat section.

                    and see the connection.

                    Thanks.And Salaams.

                      You have to choices Either to abide by the forum rules http//www.free-minds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1704
                      or (hopefully) make your attitude expose you even further.

                              Now I can say that you cannot possibly be a Muslim

                                Salaam Marie,

                                My opologies to Mz357 and to the forum. I guess I did break the rules of the forum when I doubted the faith of Brother Mz357. BUT roll ...I said what I said because I just lost my patience. I couldn't keep quiet seeing the words of Allah being deformed x Can you o , Marie? Personally, I thought it was too much. But anyway, now Mz357 and I have agreed on a truce roll )
                                Check the thread
                                Jesus , had a father ?What do you think?

                                  I think MZ try to improve his understanding according his dictionnary and to learn. We all could misundersund some words and verses. Let us be indulgent.

                                  But anyway, now Mz357 and I have agreed on a truce roll )

                                  This is a good news twisted

                                    salam alaykum,

                                    Those who seek other than God?..

                                    They have destroyed God?s Message
                                    Amongst the masses
                                    They have made worship into rituals
                                    And seek to control the masses
                                    With organized thinking
                                    And lack of love

                                    I sob in misery
                                    How the beauty has been lost
                                    For a cost?.

                                    I weep at the deceit
                                    Of ?leaders? who lead astray
                                    I yearn for the day
                                    People shall be free

                                    Women mutilated
                                    Rights disseminated
                                    Men ruling a dominion not their own
                                    Evil has grown
                                    Into sects
                                    The reject God?s true message

                                    They seek to destroy the spirit
                                    Of love and independence
                                    Free will they try to steal
                                    And the masses follow blindly like cattle
                                    Soon they will be slaughtered by the One who made them
                                    If they don?t condemn these lies
                                    Don?t they realize?

                                    What they have done?
                                    Sobbing with anguish
                                    I cry out for truth and justice
                                    Unheard by the followers
                                    And condemned by the ?leaders?
                                    I stand-alone
                                    Following God alone

                                        salam alaykum

                                        thank you for reading my words

                                        i apprecaite your comments alot

                                        i have been reading the words from the beginning of the site

                                        quote

                                        "...O people of the Scripture, let us come to a common agreement between us and between you; that 1) we do not serve except God, and 2) do not set up anything at all with Him, and 3) that none of us takes each other as patrons besides God...." (Quran 364)

                                        so i wondered what does patron really mean i assumed that i knew before but the meaning i thought of patron is one who buys something but it didnt make sense so i looked it up on www.dictionary.com so when iused each of the definitions none of them made sense and i know God's book is clear so then i found a definition that said patron is like instituition
                                        so i thought "that none of us takes each other as "institutions" besides God so i thought well what does that really mean so i looke dup institution and found this

                                        in?sti?tu?tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (nst-tshn, -ty-)
                                        n.
                                        The act of instituting.

                                        A custom, practice, relationship, or behavioral pattern of importance in the life of a community or society the institutions of marriage and the family.
                                        Informal. One long associated with a specified place, position, or function.

                                        An established organization or foundation, especially one dedicated to education, public service, or culture.
                                        The building or buildings housing such an organization.
                                        A place for the care of persons who are destitute, disabled, or mentally ill.

                                        so then when i read it again with these definitions it seemed that it disproved hadeeths and sunnahs of men but have I come to the wrong conclusion please post anyone and feel free to give ur dieas thoughts or reserch regarding this topic
                                        thank you

                                        your sister

                                          fromt he previous post i wondered doesnt this make more sense not to take each other as insittutions besides God do not take the (custom, practice, relationship, or behavioral pattern of importance in the life of a community or society) besides God or ....do not take the (An established organization or foundation, especially one dedicated to education, public service, or culture.
                                          The building or buildings housing such an organization. ) besdies God.

                                          Doesn't this statement really looking at it mean not to follow organized religion of others or bnot to take cultural pracitces besides God?

                                          thanks
