In the roots of traditionalist Islam there lies misinterpretation of the verses open to interpretation. The clear judgments in the Qur'an prescribe the decrees.

In many verses of the Qur’an, God mentions the existence of various realms. "Say: ´My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for God alone, the Lord of all the worlds.” Qur'an, 1:162

All my friends perform their daily prayers five times every day and are very meticulous about their prayers.

Buddhism is a corrupt version of true religion. Acts of worship like prayer, fasting and giving alms exist in Buddhism, though in a changed form.

Performing prayers is a very old form of worship. All tribes throughout history prayed throughout history. This is also seen on cave paintings.

There is no license to beat women in the Qur’an. Our Prophet (pbuh) held women in high esteem.

God commands how to take ablution with one verse in the Qur’an and it is very easy. The bigots on the other hand, come up with 600 pages of made-up rules about ablution that differs in each school of Islam. Looking at these made up rules, some people say that they won’t be able to take ablution and perform prayers. The understanding of religion that is outside the Qur’an causes people to remain distant to Islam.

A sincere, devout Muslim would never forget performing prayers. Performing daily prayers is an amazing act of worship with which we show our love to God. It is a blessing for us.

God says that He explained everything in the Qur'an. Those who reject the Qur'an as a sufficient guide are defying God’s words. "We have sent the Book down to you to explain everything, and for guidance and mercy, and as good news for Muslims." Qur’an, 16: 89

Bigots are driving people away from religion with rules that are not in the Qur'an. For example, there is no headscarf in the Qur'an. But ladies are supposed to wear hijab only if they feel unsafe, and only until the danger is gone.

Claiming that Islam is founded on only five pillars is not right. Islam commands the observation of all the verses in the Qur’an.

Following the Qur’an completely, being devoted to God with a very deep love; that will improve the physical and mental health of a person.

Most people stay away from performing prayers because bigots portray it like it is a difficult practice. On the contrary, it is very easy and brings happiness. Turning prayer/ablution into difficult practices, is satan’s plot. Allah explains ablution in one verse in Qur’an. But some people write 300-page books explaining it.

Anything other than the Qur’an will divide Muslims. Abiding by the Qur’an is the only way for the unity of the Islamic world.

Because the traditional orthodox understanding of Islam has shown prayer (salat) as if it is too complicated to perform, many stay away from prayer.

God clearly explained the sins in the Qur’an. Some people make up new bans, but giving commands in the name of God, is blasphemous.

The hypocrites would not take ablution or perform prayers if there are no one around to see. They only take ablution and perform their prayers when there are people around.

Taking ablution as described in the Qur’an is very easy to practice. God explains ablution in a single verse: You who have faith! when you get up to do salat (prayer), wash your faces and your hands and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over your heads, and your feet to the ankles. (Qur’an, 5:6)

Taking ablution is not an obligation to hold or read the Qur’an. This is simply a superstitious belief devised to keep people away from religion.

They keep millions of women away from performing prayers and taking ablution by making up hundreds of rules, none of which are in the Qur’an.

Taking ablution and performing prayers is very easy according to the Qur’an. Complicating prayers and ablution is a plot devised by the satan to keep people away from performing prayers. All sects add arbitrary, made-up sunnah and obligatory conditions to perform prayers, on their own. They all contradict with one another even about lawful and unlawful acts. Lawful and unlawful acts according to Islam are defined solely by the Qur’an. There is no such thing as performing prayers and taking ablution differently according to each sect. How to take ablution and perform prayers are defined in the Qur’an and they both are easy to perform.

Radicals believe that they are the most devout ones when they turn the life of this world into a life in Hell, when they misrepresent Islam as hellish. For instance, they believe that it is out of piousness when they turn praying into an inextricable act. They believe that it is out of piousness when they make it impossible to perform ablution, whereas God described performing ablution in a single line in the Qur'an.

A tattoo is not unlawful in Islam. It doesn’t prevent ghusl or ablution since it’s under the skin.

The door we opened by exposing the British deep state’s schemes led many intellectuals to wage the required intellectual struggle.

God reveals that He created all human beings in a spiritual realm and then the Universe. There is no gradual creation through evolution in the Qur’an.
