Peace...
@ TF.
I see you as a kind hearted person.. I am not going to respond your repeated emotions... Only thing I can advise you is keep on asking for guidance which is truth... Ask your creator to expose the truth in day light... Coz you say you don't know you are guided or not or believer or not Muslim or not... You want to die in ambiguity? ..
Don't worry about people what people say of masjid... What is right for you take it. If God guides you He will only guide you with truth soon or later.... If not totally lost...
But you should note this Ramadhan, salat, masjid haram, Zakath, ummi and many a verses only very much straightforward when Quran revealed.. But for us needs exploration... Coz time elapsed, language changed, Satan influenced and things are hidden... So without exploring if anyone can follow Quran that's worthy answering to God..
Explore dear... Our emotions are useless.. if you happen to go Janna and your loved ones not.. We can't say to God I will never enter until you allow my loved ones as well to Janna.. ..
Real believers never go and say to any kafir, Munafiq, mushrik etc.. "You are a damn kafir".. Why should they? I have in my entire life never called anyone as such.. But those who follow hadith (Sunni Muslim) calls us kafir just coz we follow Quran and that's what God ordered to and for not following hadith which has no base according to Quran... Not only they call us kaafir face to face but they unfortunately call us iblees and Satan and even call us destined for hell.. But I never call them by anything.. But I definitely know what they follow is wrong according to Quran... Coz their actions reflects what they follow.. Coz they don't follow Quran ..
But knowing them is not difficult and sometimes useful for our life to keep away from them and their deception ..
My friends specially budhists they mock the word Allah.. And openly call He didn't create anything it's all craps of Quran.. So do i say to them " you kafir "... I know they are.. What I wish is guidance for them and debate with Quran till they get away speechless .. That's all I don't worry about them.. Coz it's God's business why they live so.. ..
We are human.. Whether hadith follower or christian or budhist or Hindu or jews what ever. We all share the world together ... Believers are tested by having to live with disbelievers.. that's why disbelivers don't share Janna... Never forget some disbelievers accept at certain point the God and His way.. Haven't you seen those themselves call they are DISBELIVERS (kafir) in God... Budhist clergies in our country publicly preach saying according to budhism if anyone claims there is God he is no more a budhist.. So according to Quran they are kaafir.. And accept that there is No God.. So what's the big issue in it.. It's his path.. It's just a word Arabic kufar to disbelive... I kufar/ disbelieve man landed on moon.. So I am a kafir for those who mumin (believer) on man landed on moon... What's wrong they call me kaafir of moon landing.. What's wrong i call them mumin of manlanding on moon.. Kafir of God and his verses.. Believer of God and His verses.. Just as simple as that..
Right path is right path.. Only one path...
There is criteria for belief.. That's why prophet Nuh said there is no one to believe anymore ... 71:26-27 indicates Nuh knew believers to take them on board to ship and leave the disbelievers on the ground... How did he know? That's coz there is a criteria to become a believer.. And nuh knew them.. Don't say nuh would have boarded by mistake kaafir as well and could have missed some believers too..
Finally there could be assumptions within believers who take Quran as guidance... Coz they explore... Note they all say as a note verify... So verify..
For example I do not believe earth is spinning and man never landed on moon according to Quran but believers like Layth brother Waqas do believe it seems as man landed on moon and earth is spinning ... Does this mean we are disbelievers of God and His verses since we contradict .. Did we reach for any other books to explore it.. I remained only with quran to nullify it..and they bring the same book to justify it.. God will He will expose what is truth..
That's why I said we have explanation to God on the day of ressurection that we took only Your book.. Our knowledge made us to assume things in the manner it is not coz we wanted to deny You intentionally .. Our Lord.. But if one follows Hadith what's his explanation? Who authorized it? Did Quran authorised following hadith? So why did you follow? They will only blame their leaders..
True Believers have no leaders but Quran..
Verify.. That's it..
Just verify below verses as well for a change.. .
10:05 "It is He who made the sun a radiance, and the moon a light, and determined it by stations/
phases, that you might know the number of the years and the reckoning. God created that not save with the truth, distinguishing the signs to a people who know."
God said created moon phases and not for sun or Earth phases.. Unfortunately Earth has phases according to science.. ... That's why I don't trust them and trust Quran.. Hope my fellow believers also ponder..
From the day God created earth and heavens 12 full cycle of moon... In our language 12 months.. But unfortunately Earth has full cycle..
2:189 "They ask you about crescent / hilal.. " Unfortunately earth has hilal..
Verify and follow what is right..
Why do earth need hilal? Probably we gonna live on moon in future.. While God promises we live on earth and die here..
Believers are believers as long as they adhere to Quran alone... But knowledge within Quran may differ person to person.. Like I mentioned above..
