[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]As our moderator likes to tell us, there are many different Islams. Muslima's, which I prefer, is one reading. But, you can call yourself a good Muslim and read it very differently.

It would be unfair to say that "everybody who doesn't interpret the Quran my way is a 'bad' Muslim."[b] Best is to read the Quran yourself and come to your own interpretation.[/b][/quote]

I don't agree with this part.  Just like you can't read a medicine book and be a doctor, or read a book of law and become a lawyer. There are many things in the Qur'an that you won't understand or know just by reading it,  because the Qu'ran doesn't talk about context,  time  and is not chronological. Sometimes to understand the meaning of one verse, you have to go to a completely different chapter. Stories are started in one chapter but only parts would be in that chapter, and you will need to go to 5, 10 other chapters to get the rest of the story. So if you just read the Quran from page 1 to the end,  you will not understand it at all , and you won't even know what some of the chapters are talking about.  It is not written like a novel and it is written in parables, it is almost like a coded book, really. This is why we have scholars, doctors in Islam who spend years, lifetimes studying the Qur'an,  its arabic, its meanings, its contexts. I'm a Muslim, I have read the Qur'an and I study the Qur'an but there are many many things  about the Qur'an that I have no idea about,  so when I read them I have to ask a learned scholar. My sheikh that I trust have studied the Quran and hadith for more than  15 years. He has degrees in Qur'an and Hadith sciences, and believe me,  you can tell the difference between him and an amateur, just like you could tell the difference between a doctor and an amateur giving you medical advice. When people start coming up with their own interpretations, that's when you get AlQaida and ISIS. To really, really understand the Qur'an, you have to study it,  not just read it. [/quote]
