When Albert Einstein was asked how it felt to be the smartest man on Earth, he replied, “I wouldn’t know. Ask Nikola Tesla” It was short and to the point from Einstein.

Which Islamic teaching is that? From what I am seeing in the news, there are many varying facets of Islamic religion.

Salafiyyah? People like to associate salafiyyah with "salafi" or "Wahabi" however it's very much differnt from thoes two .
Essentially salafiyyah is taking all knowledge scripture. Hadith etc. Back to the Shaba. So they follow everything that can be authenticated through chains of narration .

Still you have nothing to verify anything woo though.
Nothing except personal testimony and why the # would I be swayed by assertions from an anonymous profile on a minor social media type discussion forum?
You got nothing except your own personal belief based on personal experience. Not good enough for me for obvious reasons.
Verification by internet, right. But like you said and I agree, you don't care.
I've posted nowhere that I didn't care, so either quote me or retract that please.

Many of you may know that I was always active in defending Islam here on ATS because I was a Muslim . I studied Islamic law and sat and took knowledge with some of the Most qualified Scholars in hadith and figh. The "Ulema"
I wasn't always a "practicing Muslim " I was actually raised a mormon then later on became what I thought was a Christian. However after becoming torn away from Christianity due to errors and lies in scripture I became spiritually lost .
I decided to not give up and research religion, holding onto hope that I would find a path again . I knew in my heart that their was a creator to my life . To this life we all share . I still very much belive that.
I ended up finding Islam and it appealed to my heart . At the time I didn't know why because I was so Anti Islam due to all the feeding I was given by the internet and the MSM. I soon found out that after researching all the negative stuff I had heard , their were answers . The answers were clear and I realized scriptures were being twisted or misunderstood. I even found out this was happening by Muslims them selfs. Thus extremist.
I also learned that most Muslims don't even understand their own religions
Fast forward and I found my self trying to learn everything I could about Islam and as fast as I could. I really enjoyed Islamic figh . Or some of you might understand it as Sharia I suppose. The more I learned the more I found my self making excuses for rulings that went against every fiber of my body . I would convince my self that these were divine rulings and punishments by Allah (god, Buddha, Jehovah whatever you want to call it )
Fast forward some more I became a very conservative Muslim you can say I was upon the Quran and sunna or a student of salafiyyah ( orthodox islam). At that point in my life I can say I was very humble . I got to a point where I could literally see evil ( or some might say negative energy) I saw it in music I saw it radiating from people . I didn't actually see it with my eyes but rather it was a feeling with vsion if that makes sens . At this time I felt so close to "Allah " or as I would say now the Architect (Or what ever created this life ). Life was good.
Found a Muslima ( female Muslim) got married . She was actually a Sufi ( mystic Muslim) she introduced me to differnt schools of thought. I listened with an open mind but I was set on my Orthodoxy ways of thought. Sadly we divorced because of this . She refused to accept the knowledge handed down from my scholars and I refused to accept the knowledge handed down from hers.
What I realized from that point in my life is that nobody really knows Islam . One Scholar refuting the other Scholar ,shirk bid'ah, (associating others with Allah or disbelieve and innovating scripture with your own ideas about it ) It seemed nobody had a good grasp of what Islam truly is. Since Islam was founded men have added and taken away from Islam throughout the ages . Put a spin on what they think Muhammads Islam should be. This has caused death and destruction. It's caused heart ache . It's caused pain .
I got to a point where I needed more answers. When I asked the hard questions the answers I got were just like the morman bishup or the Baptist pastor gave me. " stick to the scripture " "have faith " "don't think with your heart " .
I was lost again. Years of study , years of councling new Muslims and seasoned Muslims about the dangers of misunderstanding scripture etc. And their i was confused like a deer in head lights.
After being passionate about Islam for all these years I still feel deeply about it . What I mean is that I think like all religions their are elements of divinity within it but that thoes elements have been lost or perverted .
The Islam of today is no longer for my heart and soul . I seek a deeper path . One forgotten and burned by the churches and religions over time .
Over all I can say that Islam in its purity is a religion of peace . At least that's what it was supposed to be. And when practiced according to the Quran and sunna it is 100% . Most Muslims do practice according to this.
Will icontinue to defend It? I'll continue to defend against iggorence weather that be from outside islam or inside .
Forgive me for any errors i am typing this via cell phone ....so..auto correct happens 🤣.
Ill do my best to answer any questions.
I have left out a lot of detail ,could prob write a book based off my experience with Islam and religion , heck maybe I will .
My spiritual path at this point is clear and some of my questions have been answered . That path ( this might come as a shock to many of you ) is Magick . Greco Egyption magick . Strange? I know... I'll have to explain this in another thread . Or you can do a bit of research your self on YouTube. Dr. Stephen skinner that's a good start
Oh one more thing. Since this is the "conspiracy in religion " forum ... my conspiracy is that Muhammad, esa,musa all were practitioners of magick and were able to summon angels (or so they thought ).

Thank you for your post and for sharing your personal journey with us here. I was just curious if you have ever heard of Nabeel Qureshi? Recently I found his "testimony" of going from a devout muslim as well, but in his case he turned to Christianity. I think you would really enjoy hearing him talk if you would be willing to watch a few of his videos. He gave a testimony and then he made several vlogs which are very good. His whole story is in the book if you would like to read it is called "Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus."
but you were never a true Christian ( Born +Again ) otherwise you wouldn't be confused about the Truth
