Being A Quranist & Following Only Quran
I respect your honesty and the seriousness with which you have approached the question of faith. Seeking God through reason, reflection, and sincerity is itself a fundamental call of the Qur’an.There is no doubt that the Qur’an is the clearest and strongest book on pure Monotheism, and no Muslim can disagree with this. Submitting to One God is the core foundation, and on the Day of Judgment every person will bear responsibility for their own deeds.At the same time, the Qur’an presents itself not only as a book of belief, but also as guidance for practical life, and it repeatedly points toward the Messenger as a means of understanding and guidance. Learning from history or scholars does not mean taking people as lords; rather, it is about seeing how revelation was first understood and lived.The real objective is not names or labels, but sincerity, humility, and truthfulness before God. If your intention is solely to worship Allah and follow His guidance, then this intention carries great weight in the sight of Allah.Ultimately, the authority of judgment belongs to Allah alone. Every individual will be held accountable according to the knowledge, understanding, and sincerity that were granted to them.If you have faith in the Qur’an and act upon it, then follow it — that is sufficient. Scholars and other respected historical personalities are merely examples; whoever wishes may take guidance from them. If you feel no attraction or connection to their personalities, there is no obligation upon you to do so. You already possess the best guidance.
And since when did we start making distinctions among the prophets? From the first to the last, we hold love for all of them—and why should we not? These are the personalities who, by Allah’s permission, showed us the path to success in both worlds. Yet even in this matter, the One who gives guidance is God; however, God made them prophets as a means. After all, God considered them worthy of this responsibility, and that is why He chose them.
