Have you looked into Quran only Islam?

[Ervin]

Hi, peace.

There is a form of Islam called Quran only Islam, or God alone Islam. This form of Islam rejects so called Hadith, which are supposed to be the narrations from prophet Muhammad.

If you look into it or if you already know about it would you please share your opinion on the subject?

Thanks

Yeah. That branch is called the Quranists.

In my opinion, it does not differ greatly from the two major branches, Sunni and Shia. They still follow the same holy book, you know. I think it rejects the Hadith under the reasoning that it is unreliable, and that there is no need for it, as the complete teachings of Islam are already contained inside Quran.

The discussion here on the bible translation has taken and interesting and IMO relevant turn. Context is key and this can skew interpretations very differently.

For example, this is how Judaism has mystically understood Genesis for...centuries, presumably always. It's difficult to find as many online refs as I'd like, mainly because this is the longstanding realm of texts. But here are a few.

http://encyclopedia.summitlighthouse.org/index.php/Adam_Kadmon

https://www.chabad.org/kabbalah/article_cdo/aid/2333081/jewish/The-Female-Aspect-of-Adam.htm


Jews have always understood the creation story as thus:
The primordial composite being formed in God's image -- the primordial Adam, or Adam Kadmon -- was split into male and female whilst put into a sleep. The joint being was parted at the side (often translated as "rib"), and thus the being became distinct as two sexes and able to partner and reproduce. It was no longer alone in the world as the only one of its kind.

After that point "Adam" refers to a human male. The human male (Adam) then names himself and his kind "Ish" (man) and the human female and her kind "Ishah" (woman). It's all worth noting that all prior naming of all that is on earth BTW was done jointly whilst as "the Adam", i.e., Adam Kadmon….the composite being.

Directly tied into this, in the longstanding mystical tradition, is the understanding that the first word of Genesis (Beresh*t, or "in the beginning") starts with B and its numeric value is 2. Humanity are created as two in this material realm, and they came into existence simultaneously as distinct male and female beings.

How we spin that or choose to understand that is based upon a varied mix of cultural, social, economic, and political understandings.

Peace & blessings :hug3:

Why are you posting Jewish information in the Islamic section?

As for the first word of Genesis, it is בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית. As you can see, it has no 'B'.

There is so much in the Quran that there is not much time to look elsewhere.
