Quran An Easy Book.
Fair enough . Doubt is the first step towards discovery. I too started reading the translation of the Quran when I was about 10-11 years old and it honestly it made no sense to me whatsoever. With time, my doubts became even stronger because what I was hearing from the masjid imams and scholars was painting a completely different picture. Time went by. I consulted many scholars, subscribed to many different sects, read whatever I could find, but at one point in my heart I gave up Islam. I could sense that there was a Creator, but from what I could tell, neither did the Quran nor did the preachers truly represent it. I looked into other religions as well, but long story short, I came across Ghamidi sahab . While I have learnt an enormous amount from Ghamidi sahab, I think one thing that I value the most is his straightforward and simplistic approach to God. As he puts it, the road to truth is always a very simple one. One really doesn’t need to know anything in order to understand the message of the Quran. All that’s required is a reasonable intellect and a willingness to read it with an open mind. Forget about what you already know about Islam, or the prophet, or the sunnah, or the hadith, or the history, or the fiqh – all that is unnecessary baggage when first understanding the message of God. Read the Quran with a fresh set of eyes, and if you’re purposefully reading it, then I can assure you that your purpose will definitely be fulfilled – many many times over.
Once again, if one has a pure intention to seek guidance, and they read the entire Quran with an open mind leaving behind other influences, prejudices, and biases, there are no confusions. Of course, questions will pop, and at times things might seem confusing, but with a bit of patience and sincere contemplation Quran itself will answer everything.
