hehe ^ I suppose many kids today are being sent to mosques so Shikh X who studied in Saudi Arabia 5 years can teach them how to be a muslim >_< ... and they have to learn from this Shikh because he is more knowledgable than all of us, and so he can't be wrong brickwall

Ask those who annoy you the following questions

Why do Scottish men wear short skirts (known as kilt)?

Why do these muslim men wear long skirts (known as lungi)?

Ofcourse after you ask your question, it is your chance to enjoy the million dollar face of a person utterly confused when all rationality defies their baseless hadiths.

haha I love this! If I say that to my parents though, then they will pull out the parent card and say 'Don't you dare speak to your mother and father like that!!' ><

Welcome!....

You read the Quran everyday because you have to? Or you want to? Have you read the English translation?

Anyway, keep up the good work! Peace be upon you!

I read Quran everyday because I have to. I wouldn't mind if it was in a language that I understood... ><
^Nope. I haven't read the translation, but I would like to in the near future D

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone! ) ^_^

Salam )
So... Where do I start? ^_^
My name is Eva, I live in England, and I am currently at the age of 13, turning 14 on 11 June (yeah, I know, I'm a baby angel).

I came across this website quite a while ago, when I first started looking into Hadiths, and questioning many things. I grew up in a Sunni family, and I was pretty much surrounded by them. This meant that I was unable to question things, as I was always told to not question what is in the Quran(??). I was a kid of course, and I still am, so I decided to go by what they told me. I was told all of those things - step in the bathroom with your left, leave the bathroom with your right, always eat your food with your right hand, angels don't enter houses that have pictures of humans, the reason why you're cold in the morning is because the Shaitaan is pissing on you (??), Shaitaan pisses on the head of those who do not wear a headscarf, blah blah blah. Surprisingly enough, I actually believed all of these things. The reason why I never asked the simple question 'Why?' was because I knew that they would say 'Stop questioning Allah!' (??). It actually got to the point where I would get confused. They would always talk about the Hadiths, but never the Quran. When you ask them a question, they would reply with a Hadith. In fact, I was told that the Quran tells you the basics, and the Hadiths get into detail. Again, I believed this. I am only 13 years old, so it is pretty normal for me to believe what the adults tell me.

I finally decided to look into some of these things. The first thing that I searched up was what a woman must wear. My parents would always tell me to stop wearing trousers, as it is a mans clothing, and to wear a long skirt instead. brickwall I didn't do this. To this day, I still wear trousers to school because my trousers do not show my figure, so why am I not allowed to wear them? It would be a different story if I was wearing really tight clothes, but I am not. Not even my jumper is tight (it is one size too big, so... L). I then became very interested, and now... Well... I don't like Hadiths because most of them go against what it says in the Quran. Most of them encourage sexism. Most of them tell us not to go out and question things, then find the answers. They tell us to do the opposite to what it says in the Quran. Besides, if Hadiths were so important, then wouldn't it be in the Quran? People (Sunnis in particular) talk as if Allah forgot to put something in the Quran. No. The Quran is simple, and easy to follow for a reason.

So yeah, that's how my story goes laugh. I still read the Quran almost everyday because I have to.. I don't understand what I am saying but oh well. I will definitely study Arabic in the future. I'll hopefully finish reading the Quran in maybe 1-2 years since I am already well past chapter 17. Once I finish, I plan on reading the English version. When I finish school, I want to study Arabic )

How did you get here? D
