I'm tired of being alone in my beliefs

[LeBelysa]

Dear All, Salaam,

I see that many of you are tired to be alone in their beliefs, why don't you gather all in some place to live ? Why don't you make this step ? Why don't you act as a Muhaajir ? (one who emigrates in the sake of God)

If you don't, you'll probably die alone, or you'll probably revert to Sunni islam. This tendancy has already appeared in the practice of some quranists to go to local Muslim mosques to feel "the atmosfear of brotherhood, the feeling of being part of a community".

People, you have to wake up, and realize that like the Prophet Joseph who said " I have forsaken the religion of people who do not believe in GOD, and with regard to the Hereafter, they are really disbelievers." (12:37) . The best example is Abraham who disowned his people, disown Sunni Islam, with all our heart !

You have to move on and go to the next spiritual stage, a lot of you are still hesitating, but don't, please, for God's sake. If you don't organize by gathering, by making sacrifices in God's path, you'll disappear, just like the Samaritans. You'll end, diluted in the crowd, because you were affraid to make a step forward, waiting for miracles, waiting for some friend or some partner of the other gender to emerge from among the community of idol worshippers. Even Abraham had to emigrate, just as Muhammad's followers did.

Do you think you won't have to do so ?

Wake up, before it's too late, wake up, before your ego finds for you some excuse to marry a sunni because you'll be tired of waiting. Wake up before some stupid fool from the depth of this website appears telling you that Sunnis are not idol makers, an idea that in your difficult situation, will appear very attractive.

It would mean reverting to an inferior spiritual state, and  if you do so, you may not succeed anymore.

 I understand what you can feel, but wake up and react, instead of complaining.

You're right though it will take a long time yet to establish a proper community. We're not that many people and sunni elite have a way of silencing those they don't agree with. Word needs to be spread first far and wide

Peace to all, I too feel alone. I just thank God everyday that I have my family and together we do engage in lengthy discussions.  We should really try to have more conferences where we can meet personally.

I can feel your pain as I'm a sole muslim(as far as I know) in a small town. Thankfully I'm moving soon, but to an area that seems to only have sunni muslims. At least all the masjids are sunni. I'm so conflicted about whether I even want to bother going to them since I'll just be pressured to change my beliefs.

All messengers also felt 'alone'' just look at Abraham, moses, jesus and most properly also the messenger who brought Quran. They were always having arguments with their people. So be happy my friend, it shows you are on the right track

Peace,

Do you have any doubt on who is the messenger of Quran.

I am asking this because you named other messengers/prohphets by name.

Hello everybody I grew up raised as a traditional sunni muslim. As I got older I started to feel myself questioning Hadith more and more. I came across this website and it helped solidify what I always was feeling. But since then for years I've pretty much distanced myself from the muslim community. I wish there more people who believed in the Quran Alone in my community and we could create a community that will eventually change traditional islam. I'm from the chicago area originally now I live in Michigan still not too far from chicago. I just feel like an outkast or something because my beliefs dont fall within traditional islam.

More recently I have begun to wonder just how we could find like minded ones.  It's not like you can post an announcement on Craigslist or at the local masjid, right?  One wonderful tool seems to be YouTube, because many have chosen to speak out there, not to mention that you can send personal messages too.   I have come across videos of several revert Muslims right here in the U.S., from D.C. to Chicago. 

Give it a try...you never know who you might find, and even if they aren't in the same state or city, at least you would have someone to share your thoughts and feelings with, and maybe even develop a friendship. 

We have to start somewhere, right?

Peace,

Amina

Good question. Mohammed means "the praised one" which can also just be a title and not necessary a name. Consequently I choosed not to name the messenger of the Quran as I know next to nothing about him, not even his name. Maybe his name was Mohammed and maybe not. Only God knows that.

Wow.

May I ask you why is it difficult for you to find out the name of messenger upon whom the Quran was revealed.
