Salam to you too, my sister.
Glad that you have embraced Islam. In the quran verse 31;6, Among all the people there are those who invest their time in hadith which is unfounded, so as to lead those without knowledge away from the path of Allah, making a mockery of it (The Quran). For such there is a shameful punishment in store.
"Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt'. Noble Quran verse 6114.
Those who do not judge matters according to what Allah has revealed (Quran) are Kaafirs (Quran 544)
So sister, know that, what Quran makes Fard /mandatory is Mandatory. If you find any practice or any man-made ritual that Allah has not given in Noble Quran, but still we see fanatics doing it, then it has to do nothing with Islam. It was duty of all prophets to follow Books of Allah and Prophet Muhammad for sure has followed that duty too.
Allah says his Book Quran is complete, fully detailed & Protected. So, If you follow the Quran, then you are following ,both, Allah & Prophet and you are REAL MUSLIM.
But if you are following hadith books that Persian Zoroastrain Imams fabricated 300 years after the death of Prophet; then You are neither following Allah nor his last Prophet but then you are doing Kufer & following counterfeited Persian brand of Islam that was forged during Abassids rule from 850 to year 1200. Abbasids were Pro-Irani Caliphs. Even their mothers and wives were Persian Zoroastrians. All their Ministers were Zoroastrians too.
During that Period they fabricated millions of Hadiths in the name of Prophet and totally defaced Islam. Today majority is following that Persian-Zoroastrian brand of number02 Islam.
So sister, you are not alone, what is even shocking if you were to really do research on the Real Islam , there is no mention of doing the 5 daily ritual prayers (Namaz). Islam is not a religion, it is in fact a deen a way of life that God wants you to follow.
As much as Pauline Christians have distorted the actual teachings of Eisa/Jesus Son of Mary from 2000 years; majority of ignorant Mullahs have also blended many fables in Islam from past ~1200 years & they have transformed the very easy Deen of Allah, ISLAM, into a Complex Religion(theocracy). Islam is Deen (Divine System) & it is not a religion. All religions are man-forged.
If you wanna know more, let me know and i will show you the site where all this have been taken from.
Peace.
Dean
