Being A Quranist & Following Only Quran
Thanks for your reply, and interest in this topic_ I appreciate it If we ignore ethical problems in Hadith _ they are logically and fundamentally flaw . Like I believe Miʿrāj incident is exaggerated First _ God can’t reveal 50 prayers _ It was never revealed in previous scriptures as well_ and It is impossible the way the humans are created “to function like this” It’s means prayer every 28 minutes, can’t sleep, can’t do jop, sustain family _ humans can’t function like this And prophet Moses is dead, and according to Quran dead can’t hear _ so he can’t advice prophet Muhammad to negotiate with God And prophet Muhammad negotiating with the God! It indicate god misjudged or get into pressure or influence The god in which I believe in is “all knowing”, “Creator of existence” No one, and I mean “no one” can negotiate with God, and god can’t make mistake. ____ When I read Hadith with my strict monotheist lens _ it feels flaw _ dragging the status of “my Lord” down to other religions level I mean the only thing separate Islam from between Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Judaism is our strict Monotheism _ otherwise there is no difference So I rather maintain this difference
I will be honest I don’t want any historical baggage _ or defend actions and opinions of companions, scholars and past generations I believe in absolute Monotheism _ and I arrived at this conclusion by pure logic, deep thinking, scientific understanding and research. And after reading and exhausting all options_ I find out that Quran is the most strict Monotheistic book So I accept it _ I am not going to talk about people in history,or what”so and so said so”_ when the literal words of God is in my hands I couldn’t care less how companions, or past generations and scholar was _ I don’t know them,I never meet them ,I can’t force myself to love someone my heart don’t accept_ They are not “my Lord” On the day of judgment god won’t going to ask me “Who was the 2nd caliphat?”_ or what “so and so said”_ he will ask me “what I did with things and knowledge I was giving” So I am “Muslim” because I submits to one God_ I can also call myself “hanif” for pure Monotheism _ or this religion “Islam”_ or “religion of Ibrahim” All from Quran. Labels doesn’t matter, these are just words _ what your heart believes is the only thing that matters. So Quran is sufficient for me _ let god decide on day of judgment

Thank you for explaining your thoughts so clearly. I truly respect your sincerity and your concern for protecting your faith. Questioning with the intention of avoiding shirk and seeking Allah’s pleasure is not something negative. We may approach understanding in different ways, but the goal is the same: truth and closeness to Allah. May Allah purify our intentions, protect us from error, and guide us to the straight path with wisdom and humility. May He accept our prayers and increase us in beneficial knowledge. Allah Hafiz.
