    But God willing, as soon as am done with schooling 3 years from now, i 'll find a place for myself. I love my family, i love my friends but i cannot take a religion that condemn questioning, human values of peace and freedom over the scripture.

    Wow I admire your determination

      thank you everyone, I am not panicking any more. alhamdulillah. thank you for your kind advice. I really appreciate it and will keep it in my learning, searching for truth.

      Insha'Allah, you will come to an overall better position than where you are at the moment.
      this helps me slows down and breathe and remember to focus that only He guides.

      The Master seems to require us to perform salat, but we need to remember that its intricate meaning is to keep the bond so it does not necessarily mean to prostrate and bow down
      and this is what I need to internalize first and foremost. Until I find the answers to my questions... I will strive my best in the way that I know how and implore the Lord to forgive me if I am in the wrong for I only wish to obey Him.

      Thank you again everyone, for your kind words... Only God can repay your kindness. peace

          Peace,

          No. The recitation (Quran) contains the detailed decree and thus all there is to know and a little more. However, God's pen does never run out of ink, but you should never have faith in something when you cannot verify it for yourself and when it is in obvious violation to the ways of God and The Master's decree and judgment.

          God bless you

            Allah, through the Quran, told us that the Quran affirmed that which came before it. So we should be familiar with the Torah and Gospel as well.

            Welcome to the forum Burnian!

            peace

              If you do not know how to do salaat, u should read quran

              Thats my salaat, reading the word of God

              May God forgive us

                Salam all,

                My head is spinning. I am brought up as sunni. Quran only makes a lot of sense to me and lifted heavy burdens in my heart. I told my husband about this and he was worried sick that I became 'deviated'. The final blow was when he saw me perform the traditional salat (I only ommitted the durood) during my menses. And I stopped performing salat afterwards. My heart is worried sick that I did not perform salat. This is all so new to me as I always uphold my 5 prayers, etc. and then theres the interpretation of only 3 salat. Some say 5 some say 6... And then theres no ritual. I am so new that i did not even finish reading the whole quran (well previously I only pick and choose which surah I shall read, I am still learning quran) i believe i am still 'veiled' from understanding of the quran? And then theres an argument of what invalidates wudu...

                Please... I am worried. What should i do now? Pray? Not pray? Is upholding my previous practice allowed? I am lost. How do you pray? This is sooooo new to me i dont know what to think anymore. Sorry if i sounded like a complete moron... '( '( '(

                Look sister dont waste your life reading bull crap here, you cant follow book of ALLAH without respecting and following the person who became messenger and a way between Allah and his believer, dont ever even think of deleting doorod from your prayers, Quran is a complete book but it needs sunnah to complete it, without the name of Muhammed(s) even the kalima e shadat is incomplete.
                Please dont deviate and stick with sunnah and prayers which are prescribed by oour Prophet.

                shaitaan will come and try to cheat you in many forms, and one of his form s make you feel you can follow Quran alone, dont listen to those shaitaan, do what our prophet did and die as a muslim and ummati of Muhammed(s).

                  Reading Quran as salateh is along the lines of what the word stands for, if you understand what you read.

                  Salaam

                    Peace sister Burnian,

                    It gives my heart joy to meet people such as yourself who have found the path of God Alone...May you find bliss in this life and the hereafter.

                    With regards to your question/concern, the answer is very simple

                    1736 And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of. For the hearing, eyesight, and heart, all these you are responsible for.

                    We are commanded to "cease and desist" from any act or practice until we have obtained sufficient knowledge regarding such act...And, in-case you find more than one understanding to an issue

                    3918 The ones who listen to what is being said, and then follow the best of it. These are the ones whom God has guided, and these are the ones who possess intelligence.

                    Indeed, it is a Book with all answers for those who submit.

                    May God have mercy on us all.

                      Feel free to email me with your questions at [email protected] but anyway I think you should just worship the way you have been worshiping, like a Sunni Muslim, the way Muslims have generally been praying for a very long time, which also encompasses pre-Islamic fashions of worship, and don't worry about it too much, I don't think you'll be blameworthy for doing so with the best intentions.
