    Salam and welcome Alen,

    I'm Maria from Sweden, in my country nearly all muslims are following sunni or shia sects. I'm not sure how many God Aloners we are but I feel ALONE with my umderstanding and that is the worst part.

    But to spread the message is a good way, I use to give the address to free-minds.org and asked them to read with an openmind and not judge too fast.

    I use to get the responds later that the site and its owner must work with Israel and a way to destroy Islam, hmm why they must always blame Israel for everything!?

    It's like they will never look themselves in the mirror >

    I have a friend who is shia muslim and we have fun together but when it's come to religion we are like cat and dog. He only rabbling about his Imam Sistani, like he don't have any own opinions confused, I advice him to start to think on his own and that it is a reason to why God have created a big brain for us, to use it and not be like parrots.

    I know it's very hard work to convince people about God Alone, but to stay calm and don't lose faith even if they try to smare you is a big test that we must pass.

    Don't give up Brother, there will hopefully be more God Alone people in Slovenia, just be patient and keep up the good work.

    Peace Sis Maria

      salam alaykum

      thanks for the belated welcome loool

      i too find it lonely but even finding quran alone people doesnt make you feel less lonely as some of those too are not on the same level as you in some cases or revert back to old ways it is frustrating but now i understand

      "u cant change hearts, no matter how close u r to a person, u can't make them see what u see, make them learn what u learn... u have to wait patiently for them to learn through their individually prescribed destinies"

        As salamu alaykum.
        Respectfully.

        Thanks Maria.
        Maybe in a few years i'll meet some more Qur'an-alone followers.
        I do believe that we need to talk more often of this and more openly and not be afraid of others for taking our stand, because once we show that we are serious in our religion, the others will want to ask us why have we chosen to follow such a religion.

        As salamu alaykum.

          I tried to follow mainstream Islam. I spent most of my waking life worrying about whether I had done anything other Muslims could censure me for (apparently a highly satisfying pastime for many.) It seemed that there was always another fine point of law and ritual that one overlooked. This toadying to the hypercritical seemed indeed odd in a faith that professes allegiance to Allah alone. All the more odd, given the tenuous reliability of the whole corpus of hadith and the Prophet's own repeated insistence in the Quran that he was but a messenger. This site cones as a welcome relief. I can pray to Allah again, not the community of the alleged faithful.

                May Allah reward you with Paradise.

                    Asalaamu Alaykom

                    This is my first post on the forum I read your story and had to post. Amanda we are all sent to a time and place for a purpose each purpose signifigant in the way Allah is guiding us. Reading your story about how you were shia then salafi, sunni then Christian really sounded familiar. I believe many of us who came to Islam from a Christian upbringing can relate to it. Especially the confusion that came with learning the other aspects of Islam. Allah says in the Quran "Which of my favors will you then deny" and I always remember this verse when approaching my Islam. Should I deny that Allah is guiding me to this path when all of his signs are abseloutly clear. The confusion of the so called Sunnah is proof that we should stay away from it and walk towards the path of the rightous, not the path of those who went astray (those who try to make Islam a negative religion). Alhamdoolilah you fount Islam and your story was another Favor (or Sign) for me to look upon with utter amazement.. May Allah always continue to guide you to do whats best in your heart.

                    BTW Ansar, Submission has been around since Adam Since Allah says in the Quran that he instructed Adam to BOW. We are Muslims just like Adam was a Muslim. Submitting to the will of Allah swt

                        Nice story. I'm kinda in the same position. But to me I even find many other things strange.

                            Peace

                            I apreciate you all and your words, love, and care. I really have come a long way since my last posts I have had a few deaths in the family (I appreciate the gift of life much more now than ever before ~Thank You God~, for I seen the reality that one can go to sleep and not wake up even if they are young..so upon waking I am grateful I have another day for I know others who literally didnt wake up..It is a humbling experience) and I have gone through some trying situations but I Thank God for all of it and I appreiate it all since God gives me knowledge through each trial and God gives me more strength then I previously had..I wouldnt change a thing it has made me who I am

                            i understand everything has a reason and I am grateful to God for everything no matter if it appears good or bad because in the end the bad turns into good since i learned alot of strong values and lessons from the seemingly bad

                            I love God for the trials and pain for it is worth it

                            to grow improve and learn is so much more valuable than comfort

                            May you all be in strong faith and good health God willing

                            Glory Be to Our God The Most Great The Most High

                            InshaAllah I will never question what happens to me since it is all HIs will and humbly speaking who am I to question His Infinite Wisdom and Knowledge and Plan for He has a purpose which we can not understand with out limited mind

                            Umm Sara

                                I didn't recognize you with the name change! Welcome back

                                You are a very strong person to go thru so much and remain positive. This is something people take a lifetime to master. What a wise lady, i really do admire you

                                God Bless you and keep you in high, positive spirits always AMEN

                                  I appreciate your words...

                                  There is beauty in everything and someone else worse off than you no matter how bad you think your situation is

                                  And their is Wisdom in the will of God and I beleive the true submission is to the will of God and Gods Will includes seemingly bad and seemingly good

                                  everything is by perception....

                                  just for me its about submitting and accepting

                                  Accpetting the things you can not change and the beleivers patiently await whatever befalls them of good or of bad

                                  and i fin peace in the stroies of The Message

                                  no matter what happens even if i die so what Id be with God The ONe I love so Much

                                  if I only see Him once then whatever happens if I burn in hell that on moment would be totally worth it

                                    Salam.

                                    Why did you change your name on the forum?
                                    Just curious....

                                    But i do agree, we have to be patient and God has a Plan for all of us and we cannot comprehend it with our limited minds.

                                    Peace. sun
