Assalaamu alaikum!

?r en 33 ?rig kille som varit en aktiv "Sunni" muslim. Hade en k?nd svensk Islamsajt tills f?r 6-7 ?r sedan. Fick bla s? mycket fr?gor till sajten att jag var tvungen att sitta och forska i vad olika skolor sa om saker och ting.

Till slut b?rjade jag inse att mycket var inkonsekvent och tom inkonsistent vilket ledde till att jag s? sm?ningom b?rjade sympatisera med dessa (quran only) ide?r, samt ?ven b?rjade f?rst? Islams sanna styrka. Var n?got intresserad av Rashad Khalifa r?relse/Submitters f?rst, men k?nde att de oxo g?tt n?got vilse (?ven om jag inte skulle ha n?got att dela vissa ide?r med dem).

Tr?kigt nog med att st? utanf?r den stora massan/f?ran ?r att man glider ifr?n religionen lite. ?nskade att det fanns en st?rre massa eller "ummah" av "upplysta" muslimer d? skulle det vara l?ttare att praktisera religionen (om man t?nker p? att "tillsammans ?r vi starka" id?en..). De skulle vara h?rligt att g? till Mosk?n och h?ra ett tal av en Imam som ?r "quran only" anh?ngare.

Hoppas hitta lite inspiration i detta forum s? om jag hinner ska jag f?rs?ka h?lla lite koll p? vad som h?nder.

V?nligen

Jonas :)

Salaam.

Vad roligt att se att det faktiskt finns n?ra svenskar h?r p? Free-Minds.
Innan jag hittade hit s? vart de ganska ensamt just i den religi?sa aspekten av mitt liv. Men h?r har jag ju funnit flera goda v?nner. Hoppas vi blir fler!
Vad var det f?r msn-grupp du skrev om tidigare syster Majidah? Den m?ste jag ju bara kolla!

Salaam Nadia,

N?r jag skriver detta s? har du redan hittat den :D

Det ?r en vanlig msn grupp f?r oss som f?ljer Koranen utan hadith inverkan.

Tjena allihop,

Jag skriver detta inl?gg p? engelska so that all members will  
be able to understand.

Jonas, you wrote that it is easy to drift away from religion  
when one is no longer part of the "crowd/mainstream". I do  
agree with you, and I have felt the same, but then I asked  
myself a few questions. Like, WHY do I drift away, becoming  
less religiously active? Is it because I?m lazy? Is it because  
no-one is pulling me along? Is it maybe because I deep within  
don't truly believe in those practices to be that important  
and meaningful? Maybe when the crowd is not so big, there are  
less people to "show off" (consciously or unconsciously) in  
front of? Is that really having a sound faith.. or is it just  
more or less fake?
It definitely feels good to belong to a certain group..  
whatever size or type. Belonging is a built-in need in us human  
beings.. so naturally we are inclined to keep up some sort of a  
"home-team syndrome". We want to belong, since it gives us an  
identity. We want to be someone.

Personally I feel that the Islam that the quran talks about is  
so much more universal than we think. I don't think it's so  
much about being with people who eat the same food as you do  
and who reads the same book as you do etc. This is of course  
nice, natural and fine... but it's not the end of it.

I feel that you can have a great sense of belonging with even a  
stranger once you have picked up his/her vibration and it  
matches yours. If you are naturally inclined to help others, be  
kind, honest etc etc etc.. then that's the real Ummah. The  
Ummah of the people who do good, as opposed to those who do  
evil. Then, of course, we must be very very careful not to go  
around judging others as good or bad. We are not capable of  
that and not supposed to.


I'm also a Swede, and I've been living in Pakistan for a few  
years now (and I didn't come here for religious reasons!). I  
feel there are no more muslims(whatever that is) here than  
anywhere else. It's just that the society shapes people in  
different ways. Different societies have different pros and  
cons. Some can be viewed as more decent than others, but it  
depends on who you are asking, and there are so many sides to a  
society. However, I believe that, basically, people are just  
people. I do not connect better to people from any one religion  
more than any other religion... it simply depends on the  
character and vibration of that person. Some big-bearded  
mullahs and qaris are nice and fine people, others are dirty  
bastards. The problem arises when people don?t dare to question  
or challenge authoritative figures, whether they do it openly or  
just in their minds. A tied and chained mind is such a sad  
thing... such a waste...

Anyhow...

Som det blev sagt tidigare...det ?r roligt att se fler-?-fler  
svenskar p? forumet.. Sara, MariaMajidah, Jonas, Daniel, Nadia  
och kanske t.o.m. fler.
Ha det g?tt! (Kommer ifr?n G?teborg)



Peace all!
If you name me, you negate me.

I never saw this thread before.

Can those who understand Swedish read Daniel's translated article above and if its ok, let us know here. We can then PM Layth to put it on the site.

The article translated contains a superb concept, thus its important.
