Well I am 19 and this concept of interpreting Quran according to our own whimps is just not sitting well with me. There are so many people with there own personal interpretation and all of them sound correct. But how can all of them be correct. I have tried reading them, I have tried to follow what i feel is right but the fact that i maybe following something wrong plagues me to no end. This just takes my anxiety to another level.
Well little sister... You are very young.. How fortunate you are that you came a step forward to believe at least that Quran is the ultimate source of guidance not man made fabrication.. At this tender age had I opened my eyes I would have been proud of myself...
Don't worry about everyone's interpretation and translation in English or in various worldwide languages.. In my mother toung the translation is such a mess.. Don't blame them... They have done their part..
Quran's explanation is in the hands of God... We may read the same quran 1000 times but God only explains to believers it's truth... When God explained then there is no turning back... I experience it...
You know little sister... When I completely read total quran translation 10 years before I told to my self what is in this Quran for people to convert to Islam.. It only made me think that this book is just an ordinary book in very ordinary matters.. Nothing miracle in it to change a person's thought.. But somehow I happened to read again.. And I completed.. And again. And again.. Yeah again.. I did see difference within me... I started questioning to self the social practices and contradiction to quran. But after sometimes I didn't read complete quran but here and there to confirm various concerns... Somehow I got the picture of Quran.. So whenever one speaks a matter claiming it is in Quran or it is allowed etc etc.. Some verses immediately reminds me.. So.. Be patient.. Keep reading and cultivate.. God recommends to explore Quran... If things are very plain no need to explore... isn't it? Exploration is required when things are not manifest...
So keep exploring sister...
Why quran has 114 chapters or rather lengthy explanations with repetition of verses.. If rituals are merely life, one or two pages of Quran is more than enough to explain them. Namely for salat fasting haj etc and halal and Haram.. But that's not quran...
Quran is beyond that.. Quran drags a person towards God gradually whenever he reads it .. It is like a magnet... It arouses our feelings and make us question.. It ultimately makes us to hunt for truth while we live corrupted world... Truth is hidden in it. .the one who finds the hidden truth in Quran is permanently successful... Rejecting one verse of Quran will never make you close to God.. Coz rejecting a verse is equal to rejecting God's single speach...
Remember well.. To say even hadith is fabrication of human and not from God, one needs to accept only Quran..
You told here to everyone that you started believing in Quran only coz hadith looks illogical... But for hadith followers it is logical.. So you differ from them.. Why you differ? Coz you have started using your senses and not merely following the ancestors... During this process what you chose may look complicated than what you were before..
Just coz hadith is user friendly and convenient for a life style, it doesn't mean path is right, though Quran's way is complicated, it doesn't mean path is wrong...
So dear finally.. True believer will be guided aright by God... For example.. If God ordered only either two or three or five salat in Quran and if a true believer opts the right one, then guidance is from God.. Coz true believer won't be misguided to pray more or less away from instructions of God.. If he chose the wrong one tgen he can't be believer and guided one. .. God won't guide with wrong option .that cannot be guidance
So.. You find your path and beg for right path... Don't ever worry about the paths others have taken.. Just remind with Quran to others with your understanding.. Keep exploring.. So you will end up in right path God wills..
"Everyone would have seen the killer how he killed the boy, but everyone won't depict the incident into words sane as they saw.. They would differ"
So everyone would say we follow Quran and God only knows what they follow...
Save yourself from hell fire.. Coz you can't save anyone else... But you can save yourself by what you choose to do...
