Peace and Blessings be upon anyone reading my message!

My name is Linda and I am a "free thinker" and I guess I have been for a very long time but I just called it "stubborn" or "obstinate". Now I can see that it was a blessing from God!

The day I took the shahada and became a Muslim started the most difficult times in my life! It has been about 10 years now and it has taken me this long to reach up out of the mud and breath some fresh air! I almost didn't make it. I almost left this religion because the way it was being brought to me didn't make sense and didn't jive with me deep down. And now I know exactly why! And now that I see the light through the Quran only and I feel so honored to have been led down this path.

I feel so happy and content and want to spread the truth behind following only the Quran but I'm scared of other peoples reaction, even the reaction of my friends. I find myself getting so upset when I hear something contradictory to the Quran or when I hear someone quote a hadith.....I turn red but keep it to myself.

Any advice on "HOW I CAN COME OUT OF THE CLOSET" as a Quran only believer?

Linda
