I'm still confused :(

But to refuse the Quran as a revelation I suppose is a big minus for people. Mostly it is due to prejudices against the Muslim community that make people neglect the Quran and poor translations which promote strange behavior. If they had the better translations and got rid of their preconception of Islam, everyone would embrace Quran.Quran. It is irrational to ignore this perfect scripture.
God bless you
Exactly my thoughts )
May Peace and Blessings be unto You peace -
Peace
So hold fast to all that has been revealed to thee for, behold, thou art on a straight way; (4344)
As you see God never mentions to hold fast to haddits.
ART THOU NOT aware that it is God whose limitless glory all that are in the
heavens and on earth extol, even the birds as they spread out their wings?62 Each
knows indeed how to pray unto Him and to glorify Him; and God has full knowledge of all that
they do (2442) for, God's is the dominion over the heavens and the earth, and with God is all
journeys' end.
2443My belief is that every person(or maybe every community) will have his/her own way regarding prayer. As long as only the Glorious name of our lord is glorified, and no other name is mentioned besides His, I believe the person praying is not sinning. I am not of the idea that is okay to mention prophets, or even your own parents, during a prayer that is meant to glorify and exalt the name of our God the Most Merciful.
I personally like Mohamed Asad translation of the Holy Qur'an is very reasonable, and the Monotheist translation is fair too. But, I don't like those from saudi arabia because they put too much stuff from hadiths and traditions into the translation.

Salam,
This is very true, God will guide us to his path and his path alone, Insh'Allah. I'm also not comfortable adding any other names besides God during my prayers, but this goes from a person to person consensus, I will not judge anybody who does so. I don't think I've read Mohammad Asad's translation, I'll have to check it out, thanks for your input.
May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon You peace
