Salam all,
I have been lurking these forums for a while now; and I must say, quite the eye opener!
I always felt the Islam I was learning through childhood was somewhat out of ?sync?. What always stood out to me the most were gender inequalities from the hidiths. I remember being taught not to ?question? our Prophet; his words were God?s word (ie. Sunnah) and just follow it. We are not as wise as our Lord and cannot comprehend his infinite wisdom; thus follow with faith, again don?t question it. (Blind ignorant faith???)
Long story short, similar to the stories of many other in these forums, I did question, seek knowledge, and concluded the so called hadiths compiled by Bhukari to be riddled with contradiction and error.
So as it stands down, I am starting my journey towards the true Islam. The one authorized by our Lord. But unfortunately I have run into another barrier. I am having a hard time finding consistency in the ?Quran Only? school of thought. I frequent other sites such as submission.org, but am finding some contrast in reference to subject such as salat and hajj for example.
God willing I pray I find the right path?
Unfortunately my Arabic is non-existent; I have to rely on translated work, which inherently will never be 100% accurate to the original source, the glorious Quran.
Any help in directing me to good information source will be much appreciated! yay
