How do I know I am on the right path?

Good Day!

My question is, when I die, and be brought to God, what will be my evidences to prove or against below,just in case if God denies

Quran was the book send by God.
My understanding of Quran was not far off.
Quran was NOT the only source of guidance.

I believe and I am certain that there is a God, and God is one. It took me 10 years of research to come to that.

I started with trying prove there is no God, then trying to prove God could be more than one, at the end I have attained certainty that God is one and exits.

Then I started with trying prove Quran is wrong and Hadith is wrong.
I tried and tested some verses of the Quran to see it turns out to be true.
I tried to find evidence against some of the verses, but failed.

I realised different aims of Quran and Hadith.
Quran points to reason, finding evidence and states principles.
Quran give detailed explanations to very few matters, but mostly try to explain the governing principles.

But Hadith is different. Hadith gives too much details that you even do not need a brain to think.
And one can easily prove an Hadith is wrong or not logical or not consistent or helpful at specific situation.
Hadith gives detailed guidance to every matter, from how to wee to how to eat.
So people never have to think or reason. They just need to memorise.
So my conclusion was Quran makes you smart, and Hadith makes you stupid.
I am not against Hadith, I take it under advisement if it comes to me, but I do not go to it for advice.

I do not know if it is possible to prove every word of Quran is from God.
It is translated with so many versions, and even in Arabic one word has so many meanings.
But many meanings and different translations may not prevent or hinder anyone from learning governing principles regarding specific matters.

I believe it is possible to find God and right path without Quran, but one need to make the efforts.
People cannot use the fact he/she has not read or been aware of Quran as an evidence to deny or disbelieve in God.
Hence Quran is a blessing for people and it is advice only.

I do not think Mohammed was told what to do in every matter by God or angles.
He was just given Quran, and he had to make all the efforts to understand and guided by it.
He was not given much more than anyone of us here.
I do not think he waited until he was given wealth or wisdom or to be at the right place at the right time to do right deeds.
I do not think he spent all his time trying to fix neighbours roof or giving money to beggars.
I do not think he stopped everyone coming his way to preach and explain what he thought was the right religion.
I do not think he imposed his beliefs on anyone at all.
But he had to deliver the message, because he was chosen as messenger.
So he delivered the message.
I think he did not go house to house to preach. But people came to him seeking knowledge.
I do not think he wanted to be leader of his people. But people asked him to be their leader.
I do not think he treated someone nice to lead him into Islam. I think he treated everyone nice and equally.
I do not think he tried to change anyone's mind set to work with him.
I think he worked with anyone who was in the right mind set.
I think he was led by truth and worked with anyone who was led by truth.

Ok, please point me to something that proves conclusively, without exceptions, that Quran is from God.
So by following Quran I know and I am certain I am on the right path.
You point could be from Quran itself or any other source with rigorous reasoning.
Please save me from the miraculous mathematical code the Quran is written with.

You (or anyone / anything else) don't need to prove or explain anything to God.
He understand you more than yourselves..
He knows what you did, do and will do..
He knows what you have said, say and will say.
And God never denies you (or anyone / anything else)

The only way to know that you are on the right path is to look into your heart and see if you are at peace.

Like Jaffer said you will not be asked but you yourself be sufficient to know what you have done in your life.

Then on that Day none will be asked about his sin among men or jinn. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?
The criminals will be known by their marks, and they will be seized by the forelocks and the feet. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

Peace
