Thanks very much, Man of Faith & Inspired.
I really appreciate you taking out time to make a stranger feel better about their situation.
I have definitely learnt from the replies as well as garnered more courage in terms of being myself.
This phase of my life is not easy, but my mind/heart is at peace.
Keep in touch!

Greetings )

I am a girl in my mid-twenties (3rd culture kid), engaged to be married, & currently an international student.
I was born into a Sunni Muslim family. I grew up having a very curious + detail-oriented mind. & I am always keen to learn new things..
Also, due to my multicultural background, I have always been confused about the religion I was born into.
A lot of things did not make sense to me. I have thoroughly read about and tried to understand every major religion I came across.. Hinduism (oldest) to Baha'i-ullah Faith (latest.)
To make it short, I went from memorising the holy Quran to adapting to an agnostic belief system in a decade or so.. Quite a theosophic experience!
After that, I just turned to spiritualism due to some life changing experiences I have had. (Inspired by Buddha & Rumi.)
At last, a year ago, I reverted back to Islam. This time, I chose to go the path of Holy Quran, & with all the exposure to the knowledge of world history/politics, I, by then, had formed a very Humanitarian & Neutral perspective towards all the religions that I knew of. It was like The Creator had a plan for me to go through all these phases on my own and get to the bottom of the actual logical truth about Religion out there (the Holy Quran.)

&&&, then I found out about Quran Alone movement and the miraculous code of 19! bravo

I don't have the words to explain how I felt when I found out that there are people out there with a similar approach as mine. Let's just say I felt like a child in an amusement park with all the rides to myself when I got to know about Quran Alone movement! (TBH, I still like amusement parks & I still don't find my favorite rides available. LOL!) yay

Now I also feel, I am on the verge of losing MOST of my good friends & maybe even my partner.. At times, I don't know how to deal with religiously stuck-up & ignorant yet very important people in my life! It can be quite depressing, But but but, that does not change the fact that I am very content & happy with finding my Truth! ;D muscle

By joining this forum, I hope to learn more from you all & become a more knowledgable person!
Thank you )
