Welcome sister and salam! I am so happy that you found the courage to be who you are and trust in what Allah swt has inspired in your heart. I personally know how it feels to abandon all you know that is wrong for what you know in your heart to be right, even if it costs you. Have faith sister and I will pray for you that Allah will provide you a mercy of strength and patience to help you threw. Read Quran and Allah will tell you the way
Have no doubt in that.
It sounds to me like you are already stronger thn you think

I liked your question
Salam

Thank you, truly amazing! But when is Allah swt not truly amazing

Salam! I too am from Oregon! I am so happy to see there are others who feel the same as I do, Allah is ONE! I will pray for you that Allah guides you and gives you strength and patience!!
I too was taught the sunni way when I became Muslim and felt a very strong aversion to hadith from the beginning. Your story reminded me of mine and I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself I am Sister Prudence and it is wonderful to meet you

Salam, I have a question about shahada.
When I reverted to islam I took the standard sunn7 shahada that included the prophets name, is my shahada witnessed by Allah swt? Or valid at all. Is there a way that I can correct this, if so please comment on information from Quran, for emample the number of witnesses
Much thanks and salam

Hello everyone,
I would like to start by saying Alhamdulillah!! I am not alone in thinking that Allah swt is capable of anything and taking serious the message of the Quran.
I became Muslim nearly two years ago and can still remember how I felt the first time I began to read Quran, and how I felt a sense of comfort and truth in reading that the Quran was not only protected by Allah swt but complete and fully detailed. When ever life gets me thinking or upset I simply remember that Allah makes no mistakes and has provided for us the perfect guide to get us though life.
I appreciate all that you guys do here by allowing the important questions to be asked openly and helping each other find the right answer based on Allah swt alone and not what someone else says is the right answer. I have been visiting your forums for a long time as a guest and have never posted, however I get strength from reading them and knowing I am not alone.
I feel like im crazy sometimes because I am surrounded by friends and family who explain things such as hadith to me in this way,( please do not take offense to what I say it is a true life example of things said to me as explanation and not my opinion, if my opinion or response to it upsets you I am sorry and respect your beliefs I am just trying to get some insight and explore others thoughts on the subject of Allah alone.)
myself if Quran is complete why do we need hadith?
Brother and Sister (in faith) because Quran is complete ..... but isn't complete..... with out hadith how would we know how to drink water, how to pray, or how much zakat to give or go to the bathroom....
I became saddened in my heart because I think I must be missing something, that Im broken because I can't see the logic in that at all.....
I love Allah swt and believe that Allah can inspire whatever He wills for His slaves, I guess I just want to know Im not alone
I have lost friendships with sisters at the most because if I even comment on how excellent the Quran is alone I am corrected with hadith and I do not want to ostracize myself or be the cause of any problems because I am the weird American girl who is ignorant and commits shirk by refusing to mention names besides Allah swt while praying or relying on QURAN ALONE and patients to receive the message from Allah swt.
I really love all Muslims and pray for anyone who loves Allah swt with his whole heart that Allah will guide them forgive them and show them mercy ..... any advice on to follow Quran alone would be amazing!
sorry for the rant please forgive I have too much pent up inside )
Thank you all again and peace
