I once read an article by Ghulam Ahmad Parwez. It was an article about women's dress code according to the Quran. It was the best article I have ever read regarding the quranic perspective on dress code. The article had very powerful arguments and convinced me that women don't need to wear head-covering. Unfortunately, I didn't copy and paste it into a Word document. Therefore, I don't have the translation of the article. I have tried to find the translation of article by searching for it on the internet the last few years, but with no luck. The reason why I want to find the translation of the article, is because I want to find the original title of the article. By finding the translation of the article, I might be able to find the original article by doing a search on the internet.

Aabdul, if you or anyone else in the forum have read Parwez's original article (about women's dresscode according to the Quran) in Urdu, then please send me a PM with the title of the article. In my view, if this article gets translated into English, French, Arabic or another major language, then it can reach many traditional muslims around the world and help promote/spread the message of the Quran tremendously.

The only article comes to my mind is "Letters to Tahira" Ninth letter is about women's dress code. You can read it here. http://islamicdawn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/tknk.pdf

It's really hard to test for one's agenda, I think, especially if they don't know of it themselves.

IMO, the beauty of this "movement" is the abundance of interpretations. None of us know, and only God knows, but we can still discuss and put forth our own ideas. And let the God forgive us all if we are ever in the wrong.

I don't know if you've seen it, but there's the "Can we have consensus?" thread that you might want to take a look at if you're looking for people to agree on some ideas.

Peace. :) :peace:

Yes Comrox, I came across that topic.

I am not against the idea of different interpretations; it's just that so many different interpretation, give me the same perception of a sectarianism where the Main set is called Muslim and its subsets are called Sunni,Shia,Wahabi,Ahmadi, all with different interpretation, and those subset have their own subsets with their own views.

A similar behaviour is seen here, Quranists being the main set, with subset of one view,another view, another view on the same subject.

Why I find this difficult to absorb? because I believe that sectarianism is caused by people not following just the Quran but putting a lot weight into the Hadith and we have so many Hadiths that every group has the set of books to follow. Multiple books do ultimately lead to multiple distant interpretations.

However, the ideology behind what Quranists believe is that only book has to be followed (the Quran) and yet many views don't sound concrete but mere hypothesis.

Currently I don't find this a way forward but I also admit that I am new to this and maybe I am missing some points that in the future will allow me to understand why things are the way they are.

Lets pray Allah gives us the strength and knowledge to get close to the truth.
