thank you all for ur advice......I did pray Allah for rightly guided husband....so I am sure my prayers will be answered positively.....actually by now I should have been married n hav kids...like most of my friends....but I believe that Allah has saved me from getting a Sunni husband.....likewise he will find me a right husband.....

my problem is that I have never met ny one who share my reli gious views......recently in my office when casually I said that we can touch n read Quran all the times n there is no restriction on girls to stay away from it during specific days.....I immediately had to deal with 5 to 6 girls asking me 100 questions...n despite answering them correctly they concluded that I am misleading others....some even went to my friends n asked them to avoid me

despite all that my friends r still my friends....they know that I hav diffrent views....they listen to me....but they don't want to leave their ways....but this episode was not all that ugly....because of it I came to know abt ppl who share similar views....the way I found u all...I will find my husband....

as far as praying is concerned....whatever way I do I am sure Allah knows I am praying him alone so how I pray, I mean physical movements make no difference....but it dosent mean I will do as I like forever....I mean I really want to know right way n right time of doing it.....but it will take time n lot of research....till then I will be confused coz I always believe that one should doubt...unless u doubt and question ur beliefs n rituals u will never know truth....Abraham doubted his fathers ways.....only then he was able to find true god....sadly not many like to ask questions

w/salaam,

Welcome to the forum.

Re salat
The important thing is to apply as you learn. For example, if you think salat is X, then do X, but keep increasing your knowledge, then if you find it means Y and you should modify it then do so, and keep repeating this process. Seeking knowledge is a continual process, a journey. As long as one is sincere and they put in reasonable effort, that is the key.

From http//www.quran434.com/study-method.html

I think this is best approach to follow

I am new here. for many yrs I was confused that y I found hadeth so absurd. I used to wonder am I the only one. but now it is nice to know ppl like me exist. but now after going through many quranists sites I have got more confused.....coz now every religious act is maligned. n every doubt raised w.r.t. those acts result in angered backlash. I am from India Hyderabad n ppl here r soo sensitive on these issues. now a bigger problem is getting married. I know it sounds stupid, but once u start raising questions n ur belief system changes getting married to hadith followers is impossible. n being a girl following different stuff gets more difficult. already my parents r troubled by me n my beliefs splly when I ask hundreds of questions on every religious act and they follow them without knowing answers. image how things will be with husband n inlaws. hmm

I even don't know how to pray now. how many times to pray. more so what to read while I am praying. every site has their own no. of prayers n way of praying. I decided to pray the way I do but then I came across a site which raised question on the word Ameen. although I am certain that Quran is word of god n hadeeth are fabrication, there r few things which needs to be sorted out n salah is one of them.

btw it is gr8 to know u all. wonder how u guys are dealing with these issues confused.
