Are you bored by Islam?

I totally feel that way. Every time I see some burqa-clad woman or a long-bearded mullah who has zero wordly education, and can only spout out scoldings about people’s clothings or why a gathering isn’t gender segregated, it does put me off. It doesn’t put me off about Islam. It puts me off about our community in general, and doesn’t encourage me to attend religious gatherings of any sort.

HOw do you know they have zero wordly education? Sounds more like you have zero wordly education about this type of individuals by generalising the issue.

I just don’t want to spend 3 hours listening to some burqa wali who hasn’t been outside of her home much telling me how to live my life, when I can interpret the Quran perfectly well on my own.

Perhaps you should start interpreting to others too, its your duty too. Ain’t it?

And there really is no place in Islam for clerics demanding our personal time. We don’t worship the clerics. We are supposed to worship God. Spend your time reading a namaaz, instead of going to a dars to make some bloody religious fashion statement. Because its not that ridiculous burqa wali telling you about how girls sin these days by showing their arms when they wear t-shirts who is going to determine if you’re going to heaven or hell. It will be God. So, spend that time worshipping God.

So the he personal time the Sahaba’s gave while sitting in Masjid was a wate? She clerics don’t ask you to worship them do they? YOu mean praying Namaaz…

Surely Allah knows best that an individual will go to Jannah or Jahanam but effort has to be made, its quite simple aint it? showing arms or wearing teashirts is not recommended in Islam for obvious reasons - why are you simplyfying a simple religion even more for yourself?
