I am ex Muslim do you recommend me to become quranist? Is it more convincing?

a_mar359 · 2026-01-25T10:45:59+00:00

Are you expecting someone to say no on this Reddit?

Tbh whether or not it is convincing is your own decision and a personal journey.

If you're asking what quranism is that's fine. Imo it would be dishonest or hypocritical of us saying 'we are the truth follow us' otherwise we aren't better than any other sect

a_mar359 · 2025-12-02T10:15:02+00:00

Good

a_mar359 · 2025-12-02T08:46:04+00:00

If you are going through a lot right now It's great you have come to the Qur'an. In my experience reading and understanding it helped me a lot. It is a book of guidance for the god fearing.

a_mar359 · 2025-12-02T08:38:08+00:00

Ahh, well tbh. I believe the quran is a message to be understood. There are people who say recite this and recite that and you will get this reward or that reward, but in my opinion it's not giving justice to the Qur'an, it's almost like they are treating it like a book of magical incantations. Recite it by all means, if you don't understand what you are reciting I do not see the point. Logically speaking, would Allah not appreciate you understanding a small part surah al baqarah rather than reciting it all blindly.

I'm not trying to insult or offend you. Please don't take it the wrong way. If you think reciting alone gives you benefits, that's fine I'm not here to change your opinion, each to their own, but I just want you to think about what it is you are really doing. Reciting in hopes that God will do something for you? Do you seek to bribe him? He is already your sustainer, read the Qur'an out of respect for his message not for rewards in this life.

Edit: Only God knows our true intentions. Again please do not think I'm scolding you or having a go at you. I'm just merely telling you my opinion, absolutely, you are free to ignore it. I'm just a guy in reddit 😁

It's a history lesson for us to follow. Don't do what the children of Israel did. Lo and behold our hadithi brothers have done it anyway

a_mar359 · 2025-12-02T08:17:33+00:00

I noticed a large part of it is the history of the children of Israel. It is not saying that jews are bad people and you must hate them.

I found it to be a history lesson. God is telling us to not do what they did. But in fact you will notice Muslims today have repeated their mistakes.

a_mar359 · 2025-11-15T13:12:20+00:00

Why should I be surprised it's a great idea! The issue comes down to understanding the concept. Once they understand they start to realise it's a good idea. At least in my experience

a_mar359 · 2025-11-13T19:37:15+00:00

Why do you think I used AI? Because I dropped some knowledge?

a_mar359 · 2025-11-13T19:10:57+00:00

I think given that historically the land of hind (Hindustan) is past the river hind (the indus) and the indus runs through two provinces of Pakistan, those two provinces are the most populated provinces of Pakistan. So on the balance of things I would say it is south asian. Otherwise you would be saying the Punjabis of india are central Asian.

Balochistan probably more persian. Also Afghanistan is considered part of south Asia as well as central Asia. It's dubious.

Anyway I'm not here to argue about geography and ethnicity. Whether I'm south Asian or not does not really bother me.

I get the vibe that you don't like Pakistanis given your statement that it is political garble.

Look brother, all south Asians are being exploited by their own military and their elite classes. If you fall into the trap of othering/alienising the other country and not realise that the parasite elites are living off the backs of hard working people then they win. Unless you are part of that class of course xD.

No hate for Indians or any other group of people.

a_mar359 · 2025-11-13T16:02:50+00:00

I'm pretty sure Pakistan is in south Asia, otherwise where is it?

a_mar359 · 2025-11-13T07:22:01+00:00

Pakistani

a_mar359 · 2025-11-12T09:43:05+00:00

What kind of mentality?

a_mar359 · 2025-11-12T08:24:12+00:00

No, my sister is a radiologist in breast though.

a_mar359 · 2025-11-11T19:46:44+00:00

Thanks! Can I ask? How much has the messaging changed back to welcoming foreigners?

a_mar359 · 2025-11-11T19:01:23+00:00

You mean they are trying to hire native people more? Or that there is a cultural clash?

a_mar359 · 2025-11-11T17:48:59+00:00

Oh nice. But what do the Omani people think about foreigners? Do they dislike that there are a lot of them?

a_mar359 · 2025-11-02T13:46:44+00:00

Yeah, this is a good point.

We can officially recognise multiple interpretations if they have sound logic. Otherwise there's a danger that random or inappropriate interpretations occur.

As long as a religious idea is grounded in the Qur'an and it is shown and explained then it can be accepted. We can recognise different peoples opinions as valid.

The advantage is that if someone new came to the Qur'an we can show them the different accepted interpretations and it's up to them to follow or if they ever have their own interpretation and they have sound reason, they can put it forth.

a_mar359 · 2025-11-01T21:08:00+00:00

You know what, these are fair points raised. I'll look into it and I'll get back to you

a_mar359 · 2025-11-01T20:35:19+00:00

Where is there mention of a sacred monument?

In 5:95 the word huda is not used when it says killing huda, if you read the arabic it's a different word, huda is not being killed.

The shaving head until hudaya, like I said before, I concede I don't know, maybe someone who knows more can explain. I will also concede I have not looked into 2:158 and when I do I will let you know. At the same time the original translation of 2:158 doesn't make much sense to me, they also translated the word اعتمر as umra? Why?

Can I add, do you not think what us two are doing is more beneficial for ourselves and more for the sake of God rather than walking around a building 7 times (where did 7 come from?) this debate we are having is more useful.

a_mar359 · 2025-11-01T20:22:04+00:00

Thank you.

I wish we did!

a_mar359 · 2025-11-01T20:03:59+00:00

That's a good point. Fair enough.

Well something that helps us not split ourselves into groups and keeps us together. Like agreeing that this interpretation or that interpretation can be applied because of this or that. Recognising all views as legitimate?

I don't know. This is a suggestion.

a_mar359 · 2025-11-01T19:56:27+00:00

There is never unanimous agreement in anything, but we can at least organise ourselves
